Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you a fabulous lingerie line which is perfect for your wedding day.. If you love the fashion of the Twenties then you’re in for a real treat! Recently, I had the chance to chat Ellis Stansfield – The creator of Effie Butterworth.

One of the most important things to me when I started ‘Effie Butterworth’ was the branding and imagery; from the very outset I decided I could not and would not scrimp on these things. The inspiration for the business name came from my two wonderful grandmothers and it has been important to me to honour their names.

I started my hunt for amazing branding with the logo, website header and business card and I think we can all agree that Scarlett Rickard certainly delivered on this – almost 12 months on from first seeing the original designs I am still completely in love.

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.
