Leanne Marshall Spring 2016 Bridal Collection – Part I

Posted on June 19, 2015 | Comments Off

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you the new bridal collection from Leanne Marshall, winner of Project Runway Season 5. And after years of designing custom bridal gowns, Leanne officially launched her signature bridal line in 2011. The Leanne Marshall Brand is a staple for the bride who wants a dress that will showcase, not overshadow, her beauty. Which I think is perfect for the tattooed bride of today – for the dress to compliment the beauty of her tattoos.

Below are the first four dresses, the other half of the collection will be featured on Marry Me Ink next week!

Wythe Slip & Wythe Dress

The Wythe is a Champagne silk chiffon 2 piece set dress. The scoop-neck is made with fine silk chiffon and is trimmed in french lace with lace embellished flutter sleeves. The Wythe Slipdress is a silk charmeuse dress with french lace detail on the bust and is available seperately from the Wythe gown.

Lana

The Lana is a Light Blush chiffon gown with a deep V-neck and ivory french lace straps. It has draped overlapped detail in crinkle chiffon and has a belt at the waist. Also available in Ivory.

Lucinda

The Lucinda Dress is an Ivory gown with spaghetti straps. The sweetheart bodice is made with the finest french lace, and the skirt is gathered in silk chiffon with a lace trim.

Adele

The Adéle dress is an Ivory scoopneck gown with a full silk organza skirt. The bodice is in french alençon lace with a champagne underlay.

An Antique And 1920s Party, Full Of High Flying Fun – Ashley & Alyssa

Posted on June 15, 2015 | 4 comments

Today’s wedding features two gorgeous tattooed brides Ashley and Alyssa. The day involved a helicopter entrance at the American Helicopter Museum, a bride in a tux and an amazing 1920s vibe, captured by the awesome BG Productions – an epic husband and wife team based in Philadelphia. Plus – What’s more awesome than pizza and donuts at a wedding?!

We went to different schools in the same neighborhood. We both noticed each other around town, but it wasn’t that hard to spot each other since neither of us shied away from bizarre and out of the ordinary styles. Eventually we were introduced by mutual friends. We dated for a few months but broke up after a misunderstanding and didn’t talk for about a year. Finally Ashley sent me a email saying she wanted to see me, she claims she couldn’t stay away any longer. Our first time seeing each other we went to Philadelphia for the 4th of July fireworks and she held me while we watched. We have been inseparable and completely in love since then. We see the fireworks every 4th of July since that first time Almost 9 years ago. Last year she proposed to me under the fireworks. It was really surreal.

Alyssa – I mean I came in on a helicopter and that probably should have been the highlight… But as soon as I got to the end of the isle and looked up to see my gorgeous wife waiting for me, the helicopter was quickly forgotten. I knew she said she was wearing a tux. But I didn’t have any idea what it was going to look like. Honestly I thought it was going to be frumpy. But it wasn’t she looked like such a rockstar. The rest of the day went really fast. But when I think back thats all I remember is her standing waiting for me.

Ashley – So this is kind of cliche but the truth is the walk down the isle is the first thing I think of every time the wedding comes into my head. I am never super impressed by wedding dresses, to me they are overpriced white dresses, but deep down, I knew that Alyssa was going to pull something spectacular out. We were never going for the traditional aspect in our wedding but one tradition I wanted to keep in tact was to not see my wife until she walked to me down the isle. I wouldn’t change that image for anything in the world now. I have truly never seen her look so beautiful and I have never seen a wedding dress I have loved more. Her jewelry made her sparkle like a diamond and her eyes were so calm and almost crimson in color (I am not really sure how she pulled that off). I have never been so overwhelmed by her beauty. There may have been a tear or two..

“Everything about our wedding was unique to us. We didn’t put anything in because it was supposed to be there, we put it there because we love it.”

A Wedmore Place Styled Elopement Shoot

Posted on June 10, 2015 | 1 comment

Today I get to share a tattooed bride styled shoot that’s a bit different to what I’ve already featured on Marry Me Ink before. From Tiltawhirl Imagery, I bring you the tattooed bride elopement!

Our styled shoot began as a desire to show brides there were options

Wedmore Place is a European-inspired hotel on the grounds of the Williamsburg Winery. Every bit of a wedding can be customized so that you can be true to yourself. Don’t want to wear white… Don’t! Don’t want to carry a bouquet… Don’t! Want to elope… Do it! (But still hire a photographer!) We were also inspired by the hotel’s European flavorings and the open and inviting atmosphere of a smaller hotel, where people you have never met welcome you with open arms and invite you into their gatherings.

As with all of our shoots, we had a cinematic approach complete with storyline…

Once upon a time…

Having met while traveling the world, Henry and Antigone grew closer together with each and every passport stamp they collected. Realizing they soon would part ways and head to different lives in different countries, Henry asked for Antigone’s hand in marriage. Never wanting to have a single moment apart, the couple knew their elopement would be the start of their greatest adventure. The couple remembered a brochure they’d found in a small town a few stops back that would make for the perfect place to exchange vows. Arrangements were made and they set off. As soon as they saw the picturesque drive and the hotel that looked like a quaint castle nestled deep in wine vineyards, they knew this was a place they’d revisit over and over in their minds eye.
