A Joyful Summer Wedding in Brighton
Brighton Town Hall, The Grand Hotel, The Bandstand & The Seahorse
When Brighton decides to turn on the sunshine, it really goes all out. Alex and Sophie’s wedding in July 2025 was a perfect example — blazing blue skies, warm sea breezes, and the kind of golden light photographers dream about.
The day began at The Grand Hotel in Brighton, where the bridal party’s morning preparations unfolded in a flurry of laughter, hairspray, and a soundtrack of excited chatter. Against the backdrop of elegant suites and pastel tones, there was a real sense of anticipation. The bridesmaids’ dresses, ranging from soft blush to bold magenta and vibrant orange, hung in a row like a colour wheel of summer celebrations, while Sophie’s lace wedding gown took pride of place in the centre.
From there, it was just a short journey to Brighton Town Hall for the ceremony. The historic venue, with its grand architecture, offered a timeless setting for exchanging vows. The atmosphere was light-hearted yet heartfelt — the kind of ceremony where happy tears and broad grins coexist.
As newlyweds, Alex and Sophie emerged to a cascade of confetti, the bright petals catching in the summer light. Their smiles said it all: this was going to be one unforgettable day.
The iconic Brighton Bandstand provided the perfect spot for group photos. Its ornate Victorian design framed the couple beautifully, while the sparkling sea stretched out behind them. Friends and family gathered for a big, joy-filled group shot — sunglasses were very much the order of the day, not just for style, but for survival in the blazing July heat.
The celebrations continued along the seafront at The Seahorse, a contemporary space with unbeatable sea views. Guests enjoyed a relaxed reception that blended good food, heartfelt speeches, and plenty of laughter. The semi-naked wedding cake, adorned with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, was a showstopper in its simplicity — fresh, summery, and irresistible.
As the sun dipped, Brighton’s vibrant nightlife began to twinkle into view. The i360 lit up against the deepening sky, a reminder that this was a city that never stops moving. Inside, the dancing and celebrations carried on late into the evening, wrapping up a day that was as warm in spirit as it was in temperature.
For couples planning a Brighton wedding, Alex and Sophie’s day is proof that the city offers it all — from historic ceremony venues like Brighton Town Hall, to stunning seafront locations such as the Bandstand and The Seahorse. Add in the energy of a summer’s day by the sea, and you’ve got a recipe for wedding memories that will last a lifetime.
