Amidst the downtown boho glamour of New Cross in South London, many fashion mavens keen to embrace the trend for vintage up-cycling have discovered the cult of Prangsta Costumiers. Prangsta Costumiers is south London’s best fashion kept secret and offers much, much more than your average costume hire shop.

A Big Kid’s Party Full Of Robots And Gumball Machines – Jen & Gazz

MMI_2643

Tattooed bride Jen and husband Gazz had a super fun wedding filled with colourful and tasty treats! Jen is a fabulous alternative model so when I found out she was getting married and wearing a bespoke Boo Boo Kitty Couture dress, I just had to make sure that her wedding would be on Marry Me Ink! I’m super excited that I get to share their awesome day at the Pyramid and Parr Hall with you from Frameworks Media.

We met at college, I was 16 and he was 18! We bonded over a mutual love of Less Than Jake and the fact that we were/are both geeks! After 13 years, we figured it was about time to get married!

The whole day was literally so perfect that I cant even choose one thing for my favourite! When you have something in your mind and you hope it will be that good – well it was better! One of my favourite moments was our first dance (Dont you forget about me – Simple Minds) when Gazz did a Judd Nelson-esque fist pump.. That was pretty awesome!

Pig’s Bladder & Petticoat – The Travelling Cocktail Bar

MMI_2439

There’s nothing I love more than an attractive drink in a quirky venue.. When the girl at Pig’s Bladder & Petticoat emailed me about their travelling cocktail bar, I was instantly interested. Seriously – It looks amazing.

We are two friends, Maya and El, and together we run a travelling cocktail bar called Pig’s Bladder & Petticoat

Borne out of our love affair with cocktails, we decided to create our own perfect illicit drinking hideout so we transformed an old, dilapidated burger van into a beautiful cocktail bar. It’s the perfect travelling drinking den and looks stunning wherever it goes – it’s an incredible treat for weddings and celebrations, so please do get in touch if you’d like to find out more about hiring us!

Our name may sound pretty out there, but there’s a fascinating story behind it… it’s a hip flask of the 18th century. Loose women used to fill pig’s bladders with gin, then smuggle them onto war ships by hiding them in their petticoats… the perfect crime!
