About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: April 2025

You won’t find mass-produced gowns here... we create one-of-a-kind, sustainable bridal outfits for women who want something honest, personal, and beautifully their own.

Creativity and individuality are woven into each beautiful design after 20 years of experience in fine art and textiles. Deadstock, vintage, and sustainable fabrics are a firm favourite, which means you can be sure that your beautifully made outfits are both custom and ethical.

With a personalised, bohemian style, sentimental fabrics and one-of-a-kind gems can be incorporated into each piece. Luxe fabrics, such as antique lace and embroidery, as well as premium satins and silks, are also sourced.

We started our brand because we couldn’t find dresses that felt like us—let alone aligned with our values. So we began creating gowns that are made slowly, with care, from materials that, as well as being kind to the planet, are beautiful and unique. If you’re looking for something honest, soulful, and personal… welcome!

We help our clients feel supported by bringing clarity and confidence to the next steps in creating the wedding outfits of their dreams. We want them to feel comfortable sharing their story and expressing their style preferences with ease and joy so that we can customise their outfit in a way that is truly authentic to how they want to be seen and celebrates their unique style.

We understand our clients’ commitment to sustainability and the environment, which is why we prioritise responsibly sourced fabrics in all our creations. Our designs are expertly crafted to ensure durability and versatility, providing our clients with beautiful, timeless garments that can be worn and enjoyed time and again.

Here You Are Bridal is a bespoke, sustainable wedding dress design studio based in Brighton, East Sussex.

Magical experience from start to finish! 💕

For my best friend’s outdoor summer wedding, I wore a bespoke bridesmaid outfit, designed and exquisitely handmade by Laura. She paired a flowing earthy green silk skirt with a vintage lace white top, creating a look that was both effortlessly boho and beautifully elegant. It made me feel like I was in a fairy tale!

From the very first consultation, Laura and Hannah made me feel so welcomed and special. They took myself and the bride-to-be through each step of the process and made sure we were happy with the outfit as it was being created.

If you’re looking for a super special unique piece for your wedding or wedding party, I can’t recommend Laura and Hannah’s services highly enough. They work with such enthusiasm, creativity and care. Thank you both!!

Unique Coastal Wedding Dress

I had the incredible experience of having my bridal dress made at Here You Are Bridal, and I cannot praise Laura and Hannah enough for their exceptional work and dedication.

From the moment I enquired, they listened intently to my vision for a coastal summer wedding dress for the Sunday of our wedding weekend, ensuring every detail matched my style and preferences.

Their expertise and creativity brought my dream dress to life in a way that exceeded all my expectations. They used a stunning silk material for the bell sleeves and main skirt, giving the dress a luxurious and elegant feel. The real showstopper was the top design, where Laura skillfully repurposed vintage embroidered fabric, adding a unique and sentimental touch to the overall look. The result was a dress that felt incredibly comfortable to wear and effortlessly feminine.

Over the wedding weekend, I received endless compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of my dress. Guests were amazed by the intricate details and the originality of the design, many commenting that they had never seen anything quite like it at a wedding before.

From start to finish, Here You Are Bridal was an absolute delight to work with.
Laura and Hannah made me feel at ease throughout the entire process, perfectly understanding what I wanted to wear and ensuring the dress was both comfortable and eye-catching.

If you're looking for a bridal boutique that combines exceptional craftsmanship with personalized service, and one of a kind materials I wholeheartedly recommend Here You Are Bridal.
Thank you, Laura and Hannah, for making my wedding outfit so special with a dress that was truly beyond my wildest dreams!

My Beautiful Bespoke Wedding Outfit.

Thank you so much Laura for my beautiful wedding outfit. It was admired by all. Most importantly though, I felt just so comfortable and at ease. The skirt that we designed together was simple and just as I had imagined. You really translated my desires onto cloth perfectly.

Great Betley Farmhouse are very pleased to be holding a wedding open day in conjunction with TriBeCa Tipis and Matt’s Marquees. You’ll be able to see the two different styles of marquee and meet some lovely suppliers.

But please don’t think that it’s going to be like a normal wedding fair where you are surrounded by so much information that you just don’t know where to look! And don’t worry that you’re going to be pounced on by all those suppliers either!

You’ll be greeted with a welcome drink from Bennett’s Bars who are one of our favourite mobile bar suppliers. We’ll have a ceremony area set up on the front lawn by the pond where you can meet one of our favourite celebrants. Then you’ll be able to look around the farmhouse, see the marquee in the secluded back garden - perfect for smaller weddings - before wandering out to the main event field to see the festival style tipis set up. At 2.5 acres there’s plenty of space for larger celebrations.

You’ll see the spaces set out as for a wedding but with two or three different styles. The suppliers will be mingling and available to chat to, but no hard sell!

Your ree tickets are available via Eventbrite - they’re going fast so get yours now! Look forward to seeing you in May!

Date: From 24/05/2025 to 24/05/2025 Schedule 11:00 - 15:00
Place: Great Betley Farmhouse, Henfield, West Sussex
