Legend Bridal Designs – Bespoke Bridalwear

Legend Bridal Designs is run by three awesome ladies who I’ve had the greatest time getting to know over the past few years of running Marry Me Ink. They even created a gorgeous gown for the Blog Awards last year and I got the chance to model another of their designs in October here.

We are Legend Bridal Designs – Charlotte, Rachel and Tracy. We are bespoke dressmakers designing and creating from our little studio in Blackburn. We have been described as eccentric and maybe that’s true. We definitely don’t fall into what you would typically expect of bridal shop owners; tattoos, piercings and variable hair colours abound. But that’s exactly why we do what we do… Not everyone has the same vision for their wedding and we GET it.

We are heavily influenced by myth and folklore. Fairytales are a magnificent source of inspiration and several of our collections have been based on particular tales; The Asrai, The Huldra and The Sidhe for instance. (The Sidhe, is the set we share with you today from a collaboration with ZT Photography)

Our styles and influences are constantly evolving through our own personal interests; For me (Charlotte) I’m naturally drawn to darker aesthetics where Rachel is much more colourful in her design. I guess this means we never fall into any one style. We find inspiration everywhere; the books we read, films we watch, the people we come into contact with and our friends all shape what we create and each of us have different tastes and strengths that means we really know where our brides are coming from.

SAJA Wedding 2016 Bridal Collection

Saja2

Today on Marry Me Ink, we have teamed up with the wonderful SAJA Wedding to show off their gorgeous new 2016 wedding dress collection, showcasing elaborate and superb workmanship yet still aligning with our simple aesthetic, the 5 new styles will cater to SAJA Brides who are independent, modern and elegant.

Designer, Yoo Lee’ s love of history is apparent in this newest collection featuring her take on intricate Baroque details and Deco lines, while the essence of each style remains pure and simple.

“I believe in designing a dress that compliments the bride, and doesn’t distract or take away from who she is.” She said, “Every stitch, piece of embroidery or seam serves a meaningful purpose and is essential to conveying my design process. We want to strip away the clutter to achieve the ultimate goal: a bride who is both beautiful and comfortable on her wedding day.”

As you will see below, the new collection is absolutely breathtaking..

Our penchant for hand embroidery is well showcased in this long sleeved piece. Elaborate and elegant, this silk chiffon dress lends itself as the signature style for us this season. The easy fit paired with a dropped waist will surely connect with a bride who appreciates its quiet complexity and subtle sophistication.

Baroque-inspired, the breathtaking hand beadwork on the front and back bodices compliment the yards of trained skirt behind this dress. The weightlessness and use of fine silk materials result in comfort while the thoughtful cut of the skirt and the placement of the seams both flatter and elongate the bride.

This gown is the epitome of our fine workmanship meeting our simple and elegant aesthetic. Our finest embroidery skills are represented through intricate floral artwork perfectly placed around the body. The dropped shoulders coupled with simple and modern construction make this silk organza dress a true marvel.  Continue reading

Leanne Marshall Spring 2016 Bridal Collection – Part I

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you the new bridal collection from Leanne Marshall, winner of Project Runway Season 5. And after years of designing custom bridal gowns, Leanne officially launched her signature bridal line in 2011. The Leanne Marshall Brand is a staple for the bride who wants a dress that will showcase, not overshadow, her beauty. Which I think is perfect for the tattooed bride of today – for the dress to compliment the beauty of her tattoos.

Below are the first four dresses, the other half of the collection will be featured on Marry Me Ink next week!

Wythe Slip & Wythe Dress
