Bex Brides

INTRODUCTION


Located in the heart of Darlington, Bex Brides specialises in bohemian, vintage and alternative bridal style perfect for today's eclectic bride-to-be. Think bold and daring designs that encourage brides to be a little bit different.

 

 

For brides that want something completely bespoke for their wedding day, Bex Brides is the one-stop shop. Inherently unqiue, amazingly bold and boundary-breaking, these designs are unlike anything else out there – and they're built to represent you.

For designer, Rebecca Lombard-Earl, bridal fashion is more than a trend; it is timeless and glamorous, and has the power to transform. From her secret attic showroom, she handmakes an abundance of gorgeous bridalwear, from bespoke ombre veils (something she has become well-known for), to fabulous frills and tassel-trimmed seperates (which are designed to be worn and worn again long after the big day), this is bespoke bridalwear – done very, very well.

Made To Measure

Bex is an award-winning designer with a flair for Boho and vintage styling.  She creates bespoke gowns to suit all budgets and tastes, from contemporary to Gothic to eclectic to fairy tale, and is proud to cater for the fuller figured ladies. If you can’t make it to her unique showroom, visit the Etsy Shop, Eclectic Brides, from which you can purchase some of her exciting new designs.

AFFORDABLE EXCELLENCE

Bex prides herself on an ethos founded around affordability. The bespoke ombre veils start at just £99, and dresses range from £750 to £1250. For a bespoke, handmade, artistic garment made with love, talent and passion, that's a steal.

Get to Know Bex

The inspiration behind my bespoke pieces… is my passion for the glamour of the 1920s to 1970s bridal design.

A trend I foresee is… ombre. It's an upcoming trend that takes me back to my childhood of dip-dyed skirts and tops. It's a way to introduce colour to an ivory gown in a very personal way.

How do you keep your vintage gowns modern? All my clients add their own personality to the gowns, which keeps them both modern and timeless. I design for a mix of brides wanting a fully authentic, era-accurate look and those just taking inspiration from a decade.

My approach to designing is… my ideas just appear and I just start pinning and draping the fabric. I like to work straight on the mannequin. I rarely make the same design twice, as I like all my brides to be truly individual.

Although walk-in clients are often accomodated, to guarantee a free 90 minute consultation, please arrange an appointment, phone Bex on 0780144391, or fill out the form below.

REVIEWS

I had a wonderful experience at Bexbrides. Bex has a super eye for detail and gets to know your style and what you'd suit. All the small details and extra elements she adds makes you feel like your outfit is one of a kind. On my wedding day I felt so special in my dress but I also felt like me which I think is really important. It really was a brilliant experience and I can't recommend her enough.

Amy

A fabulously creative Studio and Boutique which every Bride to Be should visit. This lady has such knowledge and creative and artistic flair, you'll either find, or she'll help create the gown you've always pictured in your minds eye. Not just for the Bride, also Prom, Mother of the Bride or Groom and those who love anything Vintage - this lady and her team are second to none!

Marie Pattinson

Bex and Marie are fantastic. I went in not knowing what I wanted, overwhelmed by wedding dress pressure (and prices!), and I ended up with one of Bex’s beautiful creations that I really felt like me in. Bex is incredibly patient, knows her craft inside out and made each appointment really personal and enjoyable (for me!). To top it off, this was all just before and during the complications of COVID-19 (she kept me calm). I can’t recommend Bex highly enough. Her boutique is like an Aladdin's cave of vintage, boho and Bex's designs - every bride should experience it! We had a micro-wedding, with the reception hopefully later this year – I am incredibly excited that I get to wear my beautiful dress again.
