Vintage, retro, unconventional, indie, fabulous, these were all the adjectives I would use to describe Rhi and & Rich's festival wedding just outside of Brighton. It's rare that I have a couple that has such a strong artistic and creative vision for what they want their wedding to look like. Everything from the interior design to the sunglasses was perfectly curated to emit the the most wonderful retro-chic vibes.​
​
I met Rhi and Rich at their bright pink townhouse in Brighton for the morning festivities. It was here that the couple and their closest friends and family got ready for the wedding day. Their beautiful brightly colored home was the perfect setting for a little Wes Anderson nod.
​
The bridesmaids were encouraged to pick their own dresses, perfect for the eclectic feel of this wedding. Rhi opted for a hand beaded vintage gown, that one of her friends actually found for her in a shop. With her retro sunglasses and blue frilled handbag, she was ready to go.
​
I've seen a lot of town halls throughout the years, and this one is up there with the best. Light poured in through the paned windows, and enveloped the couple as they said their vows.
​
After their ceremony, we were off to the Party Field (yes, that's it's official name) for a festival experience. Many of the guest stayed over in the luxury tent village created by Tribeca Tipis. The interior was artfully decorated in with single stem red lilies and tapered candles. The guests enjoyed a wandering brass band, and before long, it was time for their couple photoshoot. We caught what turned out to be the most beautiful sunset of the summer.
​
Can't say enough about this wedding really, one to remember. ​
