The Mermaid Bride

Posted on August 12, 2015 | Comments Off

Oh how I’ve been planning to share this shoot from Heline Bekker Photography with you for a while! The shoot features tattooed bride bombshell regular Gwenda Jeffs and she’s totally killing it at the coastal mermaid bride!

We love to explore and visit locations with a different look and feel. We’d been planning a beach shoot for a while but typically, we had to wait for the weather to be kind! Our main goal was just to go and explore the location without any plan set in stone, to be free to shoot it how we wanted and just to have fun.

For me it was a day I’ll never forget. I hadn’t visited Kingsgate Bay before, so when I saw it I freaked out a bit like a kid in a candy store! To me the place has a certain feel to it, a mystery – and I love that!

Marry Me Ink Loves Silly Old Sea Dog – COMPETITION

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to introduce you to the wonderfully amazing Silly Old Sea Dog. Silly Old Sea Dog items are passionately made in the UK – and range from a UK size 6 to 28. I had the fabulous chance to speak to Alison about her fabulous dresses!

1950’s Style Glamorous Ladies Dress with Sleeve

I started my business 2 years ago with the dream to make clothing that is flattering, made in the British Isles and to be fun, colourful and provide something different, which attracts attention for all of the right reasons. Silly Old Sea Dog dresses were born to be worn at a wedding, they’re different and we only make a few of each one, so the chances that you’ll bump into a someone wearing the same one are very very slim!

1950’s Style Pin Up Love Heart Dress

Last year I had many requests to start making my dresses in larger sizes, so I decided to expand the range from sizes 6-16 up to a 24. I think that the great thing about 1950’s silhouettes is that they are great for all shapes and sizes of woman, the shapes are very feminine and flattering.

The Ballet Bride – A Woolly Bridal Shoot On The Misty Moors

Posted on July 10, 2015 | 2 comments

Marry Me Ink loves everything from Tux & Tales Photography – So when Jaye and Matt asked me if they could borrow my African Pygmy Hedgehog Alfred for a ballerina bridal shoot, I just had to let him be part of it!

Yep – That’s Alfred!

The shoot took place last March on the misty moors of East Yorkshire at Danby Castle – Esk Valley Weddings. With real-life couple Gemma and Matt and pastel pretty Diablo Rose, they all look so beautiful in their wooly jumpers, tulle skirts and the finely loomed wool wedding dress from Makepiece in Hebden Bridge.

With styling from Rosy Apple Creations and gorgeous flowers from Firenza Floral Design, Danby Castle looked absolutely breathtaking. I had the chance to speak to Jaye of Tux & Tales Photography about her creating this bridal inspiration shoot.

The theme of the shoot was wool, tulle & wood – a sumptuous and eclectic mix of earthy and tactile sensations. Each element represented something personal that I love – be it knitting, animals or dance. When we work to style a shoot we are always reaching to do something just a little bit different – to show brides that they really can make their wedding as personal and as unique as they want it to be.

The Traveling Dress Project

Posted on July 3, 2015 | 3 comments

Marry Me Ink gets to share with you this gorgeous,vintage and tattooed style bridal shoot as part of the Traveling Dress Project from Soft Elegance Photography.

The Travelling Dress Project is a collaborative project created by Gianella Simon from Minnesota. After purchasing this beautiful dress from a second hand store, Gianella had the brilliant idea to have it photographed by photographers from around the world and so the Traveling Dress Project was born.

The dress began its travels in September 2014 and is still travelling with an estimated end date of December 2015. By the end of its journey it will have travelled across the United States and made its way across Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and more with over a hundred photographers involved. Each photographer will have the opportunity to capture the dress in their own unique style and vision. The project will culminate with a book release sharing the journey the dress has made around the world. Proceeds will benefit Operation Smile! Operation Smile provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the globe.

We are incredibly lucky to be a part of such an amazing project which is bringing awareness to a very special cause, challenging creatives, and bringing international and local photographers together. When I saw this beautifully delicate lace wedding dress I just had to shoot it! In a beautiful field of greenery towards the outskirts of San Antonio was a tattooed beauty with a stylish mane in a delicate lace wedding dress. Peace and balance followed at her heels.
