Posted on January 29, 2014 | 1 comment

“Just another wedding fair? A bland sports hall packed full of the same old suppliers? No thanks!”

Today I get to share with you a fantastic wedding fair for you fab, alternative brides-to-be! The Vintage & Alternative Wedding Fairs will be taking place throughout April and May in various places – be sure to make your way to one of them!

Traditional Vintage Flower Company

At The Vintage & Alternative Wedding Fair, we’re bored of organza chair bows and mirror centre-pieces. We yawn in the face of tradition and yearn for something more exciting, more unique, more YOU!

Sagas Of A Tattooed Bride – Swamps & Matt Got Married

Posted on January 3, 2014 | 4 comments

It finally happened! Swamps & Matt got married! I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to share this with you all, and if you’ve been following Swamps’ Sagas Of A Tattooed Bride, then you’ll understand that it had to wait and be the first wedding on Marry Me Ink for 2014!

I’ve absolutely loved sharing Swamps’ journey with you all, and I hope you’ve enjoyed it too! Here’s the final instalment!

Firstly, I would like to apologise for how long it has taken me to share my pictures from our big day. I swear I have only just about gotten over my jet lag, and 24 hour fight from our honeymoon. So, now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the bit fat ‘W’. Wedding. Wife. That’s right. I am a WIFE! That is taking some serious getting used to.

When you first get wed, every body you see asks you “How’s married life treating you?” In all honesty, it is exactly the same as boyfriend/girlfriend life, only we are about 12k poorer. Nothing changes, and hey, why would you want it to? Things were great before, and they’re great now!

Top Engagement Rings Of 2013

Posted on December 19, 2013 | 2 comments

Today, especially as 2013 is slowly coming to a cold and windy close, I thought I would share this infographic from Simply Bridal on the top 10 engagement rings of 2013.

I personally am a massive fan of number 3 – the oval cut. Below is also a list of my five favourite engagement rings from a beautiful online custom jeweller Rare Earth who can be found here on Etsy. Their gorgeous rings are made-to-order and can be purchased in any golds – yellow, white or rose, and also in palladium and platinum, (I love their rose gold rings!) and also sets so you have the perfect match your engagement ring! Below are my favourites.
