An Introduction
Amy Martin is the creative force behind Tuesday’s Bride, bringing a distinctive artistic vision to both the vintage bridal collection and her artwork.
Her signature textile art combines carefully selected textiles atop painting. Lyrical free machine embroidery builds a multi-layered piece of work, contoured and with many concealed layers. Hand embroidery and surface detailing by hand often completes the work.
Amy works across various media including textiles, illustration, painting and drawing. Though distinct in their expression, Amy’s artwork and bridal collection share a united creative vision; a quiet refinement and an enduring beauty.

One of Amy’s works progress…
Layers of paint, salvaged fabrics and stitching are interwoven to create nature inspired pieces.
Paintings
Watercolour serves as both a delicate study for nature based themes, as well as underpinnings for Amy’s larger works
“Amy’s eye for style and quality is second to none and I have had a glimpse at the pieces she has collected and they are really beautiful. I am finding that the brides I dress are looking for vintage and Preloved over off the peg. They want something unique and special and love thinking about who wore it before them. I am so excited to be able to take my clients to see Amy. They are in for a treat!”

“Amy has such an incredible eye for design, style and curation. She has a gift for creating spaces that feel both stylish and welcoming.“

The experience

We can’t wait to meet you!
Tuesday’s Bride is a small, independent bridal studio — a personal venture built on love of craft rather than commerce. Every appointment is unhurried and personal.
Set within a beautiful courtyard garden on a working farm just outside of Lewes in East Sussex, Tuesday’s Bride offers a setting as charming and characterful as the gowns themselves.
Our appointments are relaxed and personal, giving you time to explore the collection with friendly guidance as you discover styles that reflect you and your day. We get creative, trying veils, accessories and styling ideas, and can discuss bespoke customisation to make a piece truly yours.
The courtyard farmshop and café provide a wonderful opportunity to extend your visit too.
“It is not enough for me anymore that it’s a beautiful item. I want to know who made it and where it came from.“
