Carrying on with festival week on Marry Me Ink, I get to introduce you to Laura & David who, after a gorgeous church ceremony, celebrated in style and created their own festival – BRIDESTOCK where Laura of Babb Photo photographed the whole day.

“David and I met in a sticky indie club in Southampton called Lennons, in November 2010 and got engaged after 3 months! Both of us have been in long-term relationships before without a sniff of an engagement, but we sort of crashed into each other with an intensity that you can’t explain unless you’ve felt it yourself.”

“Our wedding was not the conventional wedding but everyone who was there mentioned how personal to us the day was.”

“We called in favours from everyone; we made as much as we could and some things weren’t perfect, but were home made and quirky.” Continue reading

I’ll hand straight over to Jessica!

Although camping has been popular with outdoorsy types for decades, it’s not necessarily been a popular choice for hen party celebrations and this isn’t surprising; the idea of waking up in a cramped tent with a sore back is not exactly appealing. However, add a touch of glamour to the mix and you have glamping; camping with a feminine touch and an ideal hen party experience.  Continue reading

SWAMPS’ POSTS: Sagas Of A Tattooed Bride – February

Today I get to welcome back Swamps, who has been on the hunt to find the perfect wedding dress!

I’ll hand straight over!

swampsWell, it’s that time again ladies (and gents, lets not rule anybody out) and I have been a bit stuck about what I should make my February post about. So as I sit here in my onesie, mounds of cats in tow and somewhat distracted by the snow outside and our newest additions to the family – the skinny pigs (they’re bald guinea pigs for those of you wondering), I begin by racking my (little) brains about what it was that I first thought about when I first got engaged. I figured it would make sense to write about the things I was most excited about when planning my wedding. So with this in mind February’s post will be all about the all important dress hunting, and very important it was too if not completely exhausting.

As a girl that dresses are relatively foreign to I was really nervous about wearing a big frock. My first port of call was to ask Matt Bee if it would be acceptable for us to have a fancy dress wedding. I figured if everyone was dressed up like idiots I would feel like less of a spectacle. Although he has an entire cupboard for dressing up he quickly decided our ‘Granny’ outfits wouldn’t really be suitable for our wedding day. Sadface. Continue reading
