MMI_4880Kernow Dream Photography

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!

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!

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

Tux & Tales Photography_9372

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! 

Tux & Tales Photography_9249Yep – 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.

LEANNE MARSHALL SPRING 2016 BRIDAL COLLECTION – PART II

To kick-start this week, I’m showcasing the final dresses of Leanne Marshall‘s Spring 2016 Collection! You can see the first half of her collection here

The Leanne Marshall Brand is a staple for the bride who wants a dress that will showcase, not overshadow, her beauty. Which I think is perfect for the tattooed bride of today – for the dress to compliment the beauty of her tattoos.

Below are three dresses – Two of which have been styled differently to create a gorgeous look.

Willow Slip & Willow Dress

The Willow is an Ivory silk chiffon 2 piece set dress. The scoop-neck is made from fine silk chiffon and is trimmed in French lace. The Willow slipdress is a silk charmeuse dress with French lace detail at the bust, and is available separate from the Willow Dress.

Marion

The Marion is my absolute favourite and is a light blue silk organza gown with removable straps. The fully lined and boned bodice has an ivory and gold French alenon lace detail. Also available in Ivory.

Gabrielle

The Gabrielle Dress is an Ivory silk deep V-neck gown with an open back. The fully boned bodice has spaghetti straps and is fully lined in silk.
