The show will appeal not only to brides out there looking for something really different, but to quirky couples who want to dress up, have a cocktail or two, listen to local bands, dance or chill out, whilst surrounded by the weirdest and most wonderful wedding suppliers on one floor, making it a great night out.  You can enjoy a fashion show under the stars in the Planetarium, watch jugglers, close-up magicians and living statues and, when your man gets tired, send him off to the ‘man crèche  to play on all the interactive science museum exhibits (and, of course, you can have a play too!). 

WWWWBristol by Laura Michelle30The best thing about The Weird & Wonderful Wedding World event is that it’s taking place in the evening! The great doors will be open from 6pm and you can party on until 11pm if you wish!

ACCESSORIES AHOY! Creative Clutches

You’re all used to Rebekah now guest posting for Marry Me Ink.. Let’s delve straight in and she what she has in store for us this time..

I hope you are enjoying the Accessories Ahoy posts. If there is anything you would like to see, please leave a comment.

Today is all about clutch bags. I find that no matter what size of bag I have I will fill it (usually with things I don’t need). When I got married I decided against a bag. Big mistake. After ten minutes in the sun my make up was melting off onto my wedding dress. If you do want a bag, don’t feel trapped into a silk ivory number unless its your bag (sorry). I decided to post about the amazing Kate Spade and share her creative clutches.

Kate worked as senior fashion editor of accessories when she decided to take the leap and start her own line. In 1993 she began with handbags and now it has grown into a global brand with jewellery, clothing and other lifestyle items.

My favourite part of Kate Spade New York is the clutch bags. They are unique and she has so many styles to choose from. Here are my favourites that would add some unique flavour to any wedding or night out. It would sure make the never ending search for my keys more interesting.

First up is the Radio Samira Clutch. This retro radio feel would look great for you vintage vixens. Continue reading

Engagement Photography – 10 ‘Must Do’s’ for looking your best!

Happy Monday morning! Today I get to introduce you to another lovely lady – Jaye of Tux & Tales Photography. It’s that time of year where you might be thinking of having an engagement shoot before your big wedding day, Jaye is here to talk about 10 things you must do when dressing for your engagement shoot.

Engagement photo sessions are an excellent way to get an opportunity to work with your photographer before the big day . They will make you feel more comfortable on the wedding day as well as give you some excellent photos that tell the story of your pre-marriage selves.

1 Tux and Tales_125As a wedding photographer, my clients often ask me for a little advice about what they should and should not wear to their engagement session. Many people have never had to specifically ‘dress for the camera’ – so it is natural to need a little extra guidance.

Do…
1) Wear something you feel yourself in. Nothing makes you feel more uncomfortable in front of the camera than feeling like you are stuck wearing your big sister’s outfit!

2)I know this can seem really basic – but make sure to look over your clothes and make sure there are no small stains or holes. It is so common that I come across a torn pocket, etc only after the photo session has happened!  A little dark spot on a sleeve that we barely even notice in person can look really distracting in a photograph.
