A São Paulo Elopement In A Parking Lot – Nany & Jean

Posted on April 5, 2016 | Comments Off

I love it when a wedding is completely unique to the couple – Tattooed bride and groom Nany and Jean are no exception. They decided to elope in the middle of a parking lot with photographer Gabriel Galvani. Nany got her gorgeous dress from A Modista.

I met Jean one year after I saw him for the first time. As soon as I saw him, I whispered to a friend that the guy would be my boyfriend, just the way he stared at me. A year has passed and he found me through Facebook and I confess, we fell in love when we finished our first chat. Three days later we had a meeting (in the same place where I had first seen him, at the skate park) and I remember the way he hugged me and didn’t let me go. A safe-haven. You know? After that, we began to meet every single day. We could not stay away from each other, and when we were, we felt bad about it. We loved each other very much.

I loved all of it – The smiles and hugs, and kisses. All. Everything itself. Even with our badass photographer and our effing make-up artist, it was our moment. He and I. Only ours. I just wanted that evening to last an eternity, for the rest of my life.

Charlotte Balbier – Balbier Separates

Posted on April 1, 2016 | 1 comment

Today I get to share with you the gorgeous new collection of separates from Marry Me Ink favourite Charlotte Balbier. I think bridal separates are a great idea, especially if you’re having difficulty of finding a dress with all the perfect pieces – The Charlotte Balbier separates collection ensures you get your favourite train along with your ideal laced tops, complete with a waist belt of your choice!

Above are the three basic slips to start creating your dream dress. First is the Hero camisole and Cosima “A” line in shape with pockets and a pitted waist band. Secondly is the Harper satin dress – A great slip base to overlay with a lace top, or to just leave on its own. Lastly is Cecily – A soft tulle gown with lace underlay and short tulle sleeves and delicate lace motifs on the bodice and sleeves. Cecily comes with a detachable tulle train detail.

Above are the stunning waist belts to adorn your dress – AW-1251, AW-1237, AW-1252 and the Belle Belt.

A 1960s Retro London-On-Sea Wedding – Laura & Dave

Posted on March 25, 2016 | 1 comment

Tattooed bride Laura wore a bespoke sixties style dress by Joanne Fleming Design (One of Marry Me Ink’s favourites) when she married husband Dave last year. Laura and Dave are both originally from seaside towns, so they decided to bring that feel to their wedding day, complete with fish and chips and have it all captured by the wonderful Ed Godden Photography.

Dave and I met whilst making a video game commercial. We remained friends for a number of years, hanging out with a similar group of friends and seeing each other at the odd BBQ. Neither of us considered a relationship with the other, until we drunkenly bumped until each other at a bad rock club – the rest is history as they say!

The whole wedding was based around us as a couple. We are both from Seaside towns (Brighton and Portsmouth) and therefore wanted represent that in our theme. As our home town of Stoke Newington in London, means so much to us we chose to have our wedding there, rather than having to pick a hometown and we created the theme of London-On-Sea. We found a beautiful venue that was set on the reservoir in Hackney and fed the guests with fish and chips on long tables, to make it feel like we were sailing on a galley ship. To keep the theme relaxed, we also serve our favourite foods of tacos, cupcakes and doughnuts and as the evening progressed, we got the bar to serve all our drinks in red-cups, which made incredible photos.
