A Northern, Gothic & Tattooed Wedding By The Sea – Samantha & Stuart

Posted on August 16, 2018 | 1 comment

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you this beautiful coastal wedding full of gothic animal skulls and a cute tattoo station from Photography and Film by Charli.

We first met each other as I was friends with Stu’s sister, bumped into them and it was the first time we’d ever been introduced, he asked for my number and text me the next day asking for a date!

We had lots of DIY bits at our wedding – Since we wanted something a bit different for our day, it wasn’t always easy to source something that was of the right theme. We used lots of animal skulls and gothic features which mirrored our personalities! We also had a tattoo station which was perfect for us, since we are both tattooed and planning more!

The tattoo station was all made by us, that was a lot of fun to build and paint! The bunting for the top table and the memorial candle box display too. It was great seeing all the hard work pay off and all the people we love so much having an amazing time.

A Game Of Thrones Wedding In Manchester – Louise & Chris

Posted on August 9, 2018 | Comments Off

Winter is Coming! Okay, maybe not *quite* yet – It is still only August. Louise and Chris had their wedding North of The Wall at one of my favourite Manchester city hotels King Street Townhouse and their day was beautifully captured by Nik Bryant Photography.

We met in 2008 at a mutual friends house party. We were both dating other people at the time and it wasn’t until five years later when we started talking online and then went on a date. We bonded over our mutual love of Game of thrones and the rest is history!

The venue was one of the main things that represented us as a couple – we decided to get married at King Street Townhouse in Manchester because of its quirky style and beautiful views of the city. Manchester was where we had our first date and our relationship developed. I’m from Oldham and Chris moved to Salford from America at a young age so it was important to us to tie the knot in the city that brought us together. We chose Game of Thrones as our theme as we’re both huge fans and it’s what got us talking again after all those years. Every detail from cufflinks to the flowers was all us, there wasn’t one detail on the day that didn’t feel like us.

The most DIY we did for our wedding was design the wedding invites ourselves with the help of a very good friend. We designed them in the theme and had them drawn digitally and printed ourselves, we also had wax and seal for the envelopes. We also made wildfire shots using apple Sourz in mini vials and also had a game of thrones shot glass for each guest as favours.

An Arizona Ghost Town Elopement – Angela & Anthony

Posted on August 2, 2018 | 1 comment

Happy August! It’s my birthday month and we’re onto double digits for our own wedding countdown! How long is it until yours?

Today on Marry Me Ink we have Angela and Anthony’s Arizona elopement from Suzy Goodrick, which included their portraits being taken in a ghost town scrapyard and onto an intimate Italian meal in the evening.

We met each other the good ole fashioned way back in 2010 in a bar called, Tavern on Mill Ave in Tempe, AZ. The highlights of our elopement included our photos in Jerome, AZ – it was definitely a cool experience. Following our swift union we had dinner at a very welcoming Italian restaurant called, Papa’s, where my father brought along his accordion and performed for the entire restaurant.

Our photos represent us best, we’re simple. Anthony has a love for old American iron, so family pictures at an unforgotten resting place of classic cars was an easy way to get him on board. As for myself I wanted cooler weather and tall trees, we got just that and our photos captured it perfectly.

My M&M’S® – Personalised Wedding Favours & Treats

Posted on July 9, 2018 | 2 comments

Today on Marry Me Ink I get you share with you one of my favourite things with you – CHOCOLATE!! On the run up to our own wedding, we’ve battled and discussed many ideas for wedding favours for our guests and finally decided on idea, then I heard about My M&M’s® and that you can personalise your own for your wedding day!!

I obviously obliged when My M&M’s® contacted me to personalise my own.. I thought I’d give it a whirl with our own wedding theme – Can you guess what it is?

Even with all this glorious weather we’re experiencing here up in the North, they survived the heat as the packs come weather-proof and sent in a cool pack – pretty ace if you ask me!

You can have almost anything printed on on them (Including a photograph of yourselves), and in whatever colour you want! As you can see I went with green and teal (My favourite colours) as well as personalising them with the Deathly Hallows (HP Geeks ahoy) symbol and our names.

If you haven’t already sent out your Save The Dates yet, I think mini bags would have been nice with the details on for your guests.. It might persuade them to pencil the date in even more!
