Here’s what Anna told us about her and Tomek’s relaxed Brighton wedding:

“We tried to keep the wedding as informal as possible. We just wanted our closest friends and family and a free bar for them. Our budget was small, so things were kept to a minimum in terms of décor and we tried to focus more on everyone being together rather than where we were and what everything looked like.”

With the emphasis on family, Their daughter was, of course, a huge part of their big day, playing a key role in the ceremony and even giving her own speech! She’s rocking the celestial dress, too.

Anna and Tomek tied the knot at Hove Town Hall and held their reception at The Joker, where they embraced the pub’s vintage cinema decor and added their own decorations to bring the party vibe. They had a grazing table and a retro wedding cake to keep things sweet and simple. 

They walked through town with all of their guests from one venue to the next, so they could stroll through all of their favourite spots on the way, making for some killer candid wedding photos. 

Here’s what Anna told us:

“We were mainly inspired by 1920s patterns, sparkle and an all-round party vibe. We mainly took advantage of the city we were in, which involved getting photos in our favourite places to walk through on a weekend and having the reception in one of our favourite pubs.”

tattoos

For their relaxed Brighton wedding, this couple wanted something a little more permanent than wedding rings…

“We left our wedding party after the ceremony and went to have our rings tattooed at our close friend’s shop. When we arrived he’d put up some decorations for us and we had some quiet drinks together. It was just so nice to have some quiet time away before the reception.”
