Sarita and James BLOG-54

Today’s tattooed bride Sarita with gorgeous dreadlocks decided to wear a stunning Phase Eight dress when she married James. They got married at Dorset venue Lower Stockbridge Farm and even had their dog Irwin there for the day. Photos are by the awesome Jason Williams Photography.

I met James in my first day in a new job, thought hubba hubba! We became friends for around 6 months (he had a girlfriend) but they split up. He came round for a haircut (I used to live in South Africa at a monkey sanctuary where I somehow became the hairdresser amongst the volunteers!) and after 2 bottles of wine, chatting and playing the guitar till around midnight, met up the following night for a few drinks, and been together ever since… Almost 3 years now.

We’re both pretty laid back and informal, the venue was perfect for us as soon as we saw it.  It was held in an unassuming barn that had a wow factor when you walked in with gorgeous beams, fairy lights dotted all over the place and subtle lighting that changed from purple to deep red to green, was just such a lovely feature, the venue was nothing grand or pretentious, and we found an awesome reggae band who just made the evening perfect.  As a surprise for James I’d arranged for his dog Irwin, to be the ring-bearer, so I think having Irwin around the place not only felt completely normal to us, but completely made James’s day, and didn’t seem at all odd to any of our guests!

Tattooed bride Louise and her husband Ian were married in an intimate wedding at The Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh with photography from Nadin Dunnigan Photography. Louise wore a gorgeous Phase Eight dress (You can see more Phase Eight wedding dresses here in a previous post) that showed a lot of her tattoos.

Our courtship was almost like a modern-day ‘When Harry Met Sally’; we were introduced by a mutual friend and it took us ages to get together… At first I didn’t like him much (sorry Ian!) as I thought he was such a show-off, but gradually we became friends and it became the most important relationship in both of our lives.

The highlight of our wedding was when I saw Ian for the first time in the ceremony room, looking so handsome in his suit and a little nervous.. I was *busting* to actually be married to him by then…! (Also discovering I could walk just fine for the wedding photos in my 6” Louboutin heels)
