Seaside Sparkle Themed Wedding, Terraces Brighton

Our weddings season 2012 kicked off with an early summer soiree by the sea, a celebration of the best of Brighton for the beautiful couple, Rachael and Paul. Combining the fun of the seaside with an elegance befitting a glamorous bride, the Seaside Sparkle theme was born.

The couple's love for Brighton shone through during their consultation and became a key influence we returned to at each stage of their wedding decor design process.  Their wedding venue, Terraces, offered uninterrupted views of the pier with its beach side location and boasted floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of this special feature.

Terraces is a popular Brighton restaurant with a neutral interior that featured dark heavy curtains and wall art that wasn't to the couple's taste.  Both of these elements were neutralised with ivory wall drapes and ceiling sails in a fan formation which formed a canopy above the dining area, creating an ethereal feel to the space.  Behind the top table, nets of fairy lights were hung behind the fabric, creating a focal point to the room.

 An enclosed section of the restaurant was used for the ceremony, where a similar combination of wall draping and fairy lights was used to bring a whimsical feel to the functional space. Bay trees were positioned to mark the entrance to the aisle and another pair either side of the registrar's table to create a formal look.  The restaurant's chairs were fitted with white chair covers and blue organza sashes.

All printed materials were designed with the wedding invitation brand in mind.  A Brighton themed table plan coupled with branded sticks of Brighton Rock for favours carried the theme throughout the little details, including painstakingly attaching individual crystals on to each branded place setting and tables named after iconic Brighton landmarks. The overall look was one of relaxed elegance with detailed touches that show how much the couple cared about making every part of their wedding inimitably them.

The happy couple disappeared into the fun and thrills of Brighton Pier with their wedding party whilst their wedding venue was turned from breakfast service into the evening reception. Top tables were cleared and the cake table moved into position, with our fairy-lit backdrop providing an ideal focal point to stage the cutting of the cake.
