WEB - Highgate House Wedding - Garden 11 ##Photographer - www.edclayton.co.uk##

Recently, myself and my other half Rob were invited to check out one of the gorgeous Sundial Group wedding venues. Being from the North, we decided where better to go than Northamptonshire’s Highgate House – A gorgeous Grade II listed building with plenty of space and character for a wedding, catering to a number of different wedding sizes and styles.

Why Highgate House is the perfect backdrop for an alternative wedding

~ Set in rural Northamptonshire countryside.
~ Grade II listed building – classic backdrop perfectly contrasts an untraditional wedding.
~ 26 acres of grounds available for photo opportunities.
~ Grounds have previously been used for carousels, tipis as well as a wide range of themed outdoor games.
~ Venue’s own red routemaster bus can also be used for photo opportunities.

~ Venue boasts a uniquely magnificent Baronial Hall – particularly moody and atmospheric for evening celebrations – ideal for medieval-style banqueting, burlesque or gothic themed weddings.
~ Range of alternative wedding breakfast menus are available such as hog roasts, BBQs, Mexican. Or challenge us to create one of your own!

Inspiration – A Wild And Free Wedding

Posted on March 11, 2016 | Comments Off on Inspiration – A Wild And Free Wedding

Tattoos, beard and horses – This is what Cillia Ciabrini of Pour Fair Court shared with me and I’m so glad I get to feature it on Marry Me Ink. This inspirational wedding shoot was born from the desire to bring together a intimate wedding in a wild and bohemian atmosphere – a little rock and folk. This shoot is full of geometric colour and gorgeous landscapes.. My favourite! I had the chance to speak to Cillia about her styling ideas for the shoot.

It all started with the encounter with Lena and Aden – a beautiful couple with atypical traits and tattooed bodies but particularly funny and sweet! I have to admit, the beauty of Lena hit me – she releases an incredible softness and her beauty is timeless. She’s one of these warm beauties that seems cold from the outside, she’s mysterious and fascinating and it is exactly this atmosphere that I wanted to reflect, a winter wedding with a blue light but a warm couple. Sublimated by the Make Up of Alexia Parisi, Lena is gorgeous in her tailored silk dress made by the talented Kaa Couture.

Aden wears a suit by Vaubecour Lyon. (Even though he is more used to wearing jeans and sneakers!) All their tattoos were done at Lena’s shop in Lyon, Ink’a Tattoo. This is where they met and where I have also seen them for the first time.

Most Curious 2016 – The Wedding Show For The Style Savvy Couple

Posted on March 8, 2016 | Comments Off on Most Curious 2016 – The Wedding Show For The Style Savvy Couple

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you the awesome A Most Curious Wedding Fair.. It’s a wedding show full of style, colour and is just awesome! There are two locations over the next fortnight where fabulous suppliers will be waiting to meet you!

Founder Becky Hoh-Hale, got married in 2008 just before the vintage explosion, so struggled with even getting a caterer who would serve food ‘on old plates’. So what followed was a now familiar story, but slightly pioneering at the time, of Becky collecting all her own vintage china, making her own bunting, backdrops and tablecloths and sourcing props that were unique to her and and her husband and were of course ‘vintage’. This lead to her hiring out the pieces after her wedding to other like minded, and time-short brides who may not have the time or inclination to collect every thing they needed, under the name A Most Curious Party. That’s old news now, with a whole host of stories like that in the wedding industry, but Becky took it one step further. Following a disheartening spate of exhibiting at wedding shows with her wares, Becky realised the same pioneer spirit could be applied to wedding fairs and she might just be the girl to do it. Most Curious, the wedding show for the style-savvy couple was born.

Just as A Most Curious Party started as offering couples something that fit with their everyday lifestyle loves (a beautiful, slick version of it of course) Most Curious now unites trend aware and directional suppliers with the free and forward thinking couples who want their wedding day to be as design and fashion led as the rest of their lives, as free spirited and wild as their love and not particularly subscribing to a hugely traditional aesthetic for their big day, just what they love – but focused down into a wonderful 24 hour production!
