Fancy something fun for your hen do ladies? I’m excited to introduce to you the wonderful Prangsta who for this feature have teamed up with photobooth company Foto Noir, which is basically the best treasure cove for glamorous fancy dress!  

“Allow us to treat you to a day of carnivalesque glamour like no other. We invite you and your hens to enjoy an afternoon of transformation and sparkle. Amidst the flowing fizz and frolics, our teams of stylists are on hand to transform every hen into their most decadent & otherworldly self. With costume and headpieces from beyond your wildest dreams, Prangsta will bring out your inner showgirls, carnival queens, burlesque darlings and much more.!”

Amidst the downtown boho glamour of New Cross in South London, many fashion mavens keen to embrace the trend for vintage up-cycling have discovered the cult of Prangsta Costumiers. Prangsta Costumiers is south London’s best fashion kept secret and offers much, much more than your average costume hire shop.

Prangsta’s lead protagonist Melanie Wilson is in the business of supplying some of London’s best dressed festival & party peeps with lavish & opulent costumes for hire or to buy. Over the past 10 years many celebrities, fashion icons, DJ’s, hip-hop moguls, festival promoters & members of the royal family have passed through the door of Prangsta Costumiers. If you’re lucky enough to meet Melanie or her team of amazing & magical seamstresses & stylists they may even be willing to tell you, which costumes’ won a prize for a Hollywood A list couple or point out the hat recently made for a prince of the realm……

The West Highland Way and The Wedding Industry Experts 2014 Awards

Rachael Urquhart, The Couture Co, Custard Factory March 2014 - Jay Emme PhotographyJay Emme Photography

For those who don’t know, tomorrow I’m driving up to Scotland tomorrow to take part the challenging West Highland Way (whilst camping in between).. Yes I know, I’m slightly crazy! For those who also didn’t know, as well as running Marry Me Ink, I have a full time job at the Central Manchester Foundation Trust Hospitals (CMFT) in their inpatient pharmacy. I’m taking part in the West Highland Way to raise money specifically for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, one of the four hospitals at CMFT. I have a Just Giving page and would be truly grateful if so much as donated £1 to a local and worthy cause, to raise money for kids that, very unfortunately, have to stay indoors when we have glorious sunshine and when we’re at home with our loved ones. The support that Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital provides helps families to stay together and support one another during what can be a very difficult time for them. The Charity supports projects which aim to make life a little easier for our young patients and their families, particularly when they have long or frequent stays in hospital. 

With your help, we can ensure that Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is not only the largest children’s hospital in the country – but one of the best.
