A Celebration Of Tattoos, Music And Love – Emma & James

Posted on December 14, 2015 | 1 comment

Today’s gorgeous tattooed bride is Emma – who decided a gorgeous fifties Lindy Bop wedding dress was the way to awesomely show her ink when she married husband James. Their wedding took place in Stone and alternative wedding photographer Lorna Lovecraft caught the beauty of it all, including Emma’s new tattoo that she got on the morning on their wedding day!

Unfortunately, there was nothing exciting about our meeting. We met at a pub in a fairly local village. I do remember that whenever James would come to pick me up, you would hear his beloved car before you saw him – Thankfully that’s long gone now.

Our clothes reflected our love of the vintage but with a modern edge. The tattoo that I had on the day, showing our love for tattoos and the music, because no one does music like the 50’s. It was perfect for us!

A Colourful Tattooed Filled Wedding – Clare & Jon

Posted on November 17, 2015 | 1 comment

Remember tattooed bride Clare and husband Jon’s Tattooed Spring Garden engagement shoot and story of how Jon proposed using their dog? Well, it’s now time to share their super gorgeous colourful wedding that took place earlier this year (after only 20 weeks of planning too!) from Emma of ELS Design Photography.

I knew who Jon was for a while, he used to come to my work for lunch every now and then, a while later we met in a night club and we briefly spoke. However, a few weeks later, by coincidence, we was set up by a mutual friend! We only needed the one date – we just clicked!

The overall theme of the wedding represented us, everything from our ceremony music to bridesmaid dresses. – we both love anything 50’s. We only had 20 weeks to plan our wedding, but I think we did a wonderful job! As soon as we booked our special day, we were shopping for decorations, favours and table pieces.. Most of them we had to make ourselves, but it was nice to have some personal touches to the day – Jon made all the stationery.

Effie Butterworth – Historically Accurate & Vintage Inspired Undergarments

Posted on November 12, 2015 | Comments Off

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you a fabulous lingerie line which is perfect for your wedding day.. If you love the fashion of the Twenties then you’re in for a real treat! Recently, I had the chance to chat Ellis Stansfield – The creator of Effie Butterworth.

One of the most important things to me when I started ‘Effie Butterworth’ was the branding and imagery; from the very outset I decided I could not and would not scrimp on these things. The inspiration for the business name came from my two wonderful grandmothers and it has been important to me to honour their names.

I started my hunt for amazing branding with the logo, website header and business card and I think we can all agree that Scarlett Rickard certainly delivered on this – almost 12 months on from first seeing the original designs I am still completely in love.

A 50s Retro Superhero Wedding – Amy & Neil

Posted on October 19, 2015 | 2 comments

Today on Marry Me Ink, tattooed bride Amy shares with us her wedding to Neil with plenty of DIY elements and photography from Jess Yarwood.

Neil and I first met when I was 12 and he was 16. I had a massive crush on him but after 3 years, we lost touch. We eventually met back up 6 years ago at my older sisters birthday party and hit it off big time.
