Romantic Getaways For The Adrenaline Junkies.

This year, I’ve hardly taken any holidays. Just a few days here and there for a break, but we’ve not actually been away. To say I was in desperate need of one was an understatement! As mentioned in a previous post, Rob & I took a short break up to Northumberland for a bit of coasteering. Now, I love a good adventure weekend, but at the same time, I wanted something cosy and cute to come back to after throwing ourselves off cliffs.

For those who don’t know what coasteering is, it’s basically a few hours in a wetsuit climbing, swimming, jumping off and scrambling across a dramatic coastline (with professionals) and is so much fun if you’re adventurous or just silly adrenaline junkies like us!

I highly recommend Adventure Northumberland who we went coasterring with. Zoe, our expert for the day, took plenty of pictures of our fun afternoon.

In November of last year, a fabulous magazine about embracing the female tattoo culture was launched – Things & Ink. I had the privilege of taking part a photo shoot with photographer Laura Babb and editor Alice to show that tattoos can look gorgeous against your wedding dress!

A Bride In Red – Adele & Anthony

“I’ve know ever since I was a little girl I wanted to get married in red dress, but unfortunately my taste was not shared by many bridal shops, apart from one.”

Today I get to share with you Adele – a beautiful bride who decided to wear red on her wedding day, with thanks to The Couture Company who created such a gorgeous dress and with fantastic images from Ben Fones Photography.

“We like to think that the whole wedding was relaxed, full of laughter with family and friends, but with our own little twist on tradition. This is just like our lives!”

It was the most important thing to me that my tattoos had to be on display (much to my mum’s dismay) if they could not be incorporated into the design of the dress they must be shown off. I converted my Mom in the end proving body art can be just as beautiful as the dress you wear; you just have to find the perfect one.

I was told about The Couture Company from a friend who was also getting married, I did not hold out much hope as I had been disappointed before. But boy was I so wrong!!! As soon as I walked through the door I knew I’d get my dress from here!! Jo and her team were so lovely and laid back which made me relax and completely trust them to create the dress of my dreams, and she didn’t disappoint, Jo has a fantastic ability to pick the idea out your head and make it a reality. I didn’t want to take my dress off on my wedding day, it was so beautiful, and beauty should not be hidden in a wardrobe, so I have had mine framed and hung on my lounge wall for to see!
