Carrying on with festival week on Marry Me Ink, I get to introduce you to Laura & David who, after a gorgeous church ceremony, celebrated in style and created their own festival – BRIDESTOCK where Laura of Babb Photo photographed the whole day.

“David and I met in a sticky indie club in Southampton called Lennons, in November 2010 and got engaged after 3 months! Both of us have been in long-term relationships before without a sniff of an engagement, but we sort of crashed into each other with an intensity that you can’t explain unless you’ve felt it yourself.”

“Our wedding was not the conventional wedding but everyone who was there mentioned how personal to us the day was.”

“We called in favours from everyone; we made as much as we could and some things weren’t perfect, but were home made and quirky.” Continue reading

I’m so excited for this year. I LOVE the 1920s and with all the wonderful films coming to the screens this year (Gangster Squad and The Great Gatsby to name a few) I am in heaven! Anything to keep me occupied until the next season of Boardwalk Empire! (Seriously, I’m having withdrawal symptoms!) 

For today’s edition of essences, I bring you The Great Gatsby!

The Rockabilly Vintage Bride: James & Emma

Today I get to introduce to you Emma & James whose wedding was filled with vintage rockabilly coolness, red and black, amazing stationery from Elle Is For Love and one fabulous cake from Crumb!! Photography from the wonderful N.Cadman Photography.

Emma & James were wed at Glemham Hall where the grounds were stunning for the couple’s photographs.

“James and I met through a mutual friend, Jan. James plays guitar in a rock band called Brigade. I was going to see a band called Adien and Brigade we’re supporting them. It was Jan’s birthday and he wanted to see Brigade so we went together.

James caught my eye rocking out on the side of the stage at the Concorde 2 in Brighton!

I asked Jan who the “nutty good looking ginger” was! Jan explained that it was James he was friends with and they both went to the same school back in Suffolk. Jan introduced me to James after the gig. We had some drinks together (and quite a few Jager’s!). We added each other on FB and chatted pretty much every day. I went to see them at a few more gigs and the flirting began! A few months after first meeting, Brigade were playing at Download 2008 festival. Me & my friend had already got day tickets for the same day Brigade were playing. We meet up with them after their set and the rest is history as they say!

James proposed on Christmas day 2010. We set the date for May 12th 2012 not long after that so around 18 months we were engaged.”

“Originally I wanted a halter-neck 50’s tea length swing dress but when I tried them on they just didn’t feel right. Me and one of my bridesmaids Continue reading
