A Fifties Jive Bridal Wedding Inspiration

Posted on September 18, 2015 | Comments Off

Today’s tattooed wedding inspiration comes from Brad Quarrington Photography who had the bride, Randii, for a Marilyn Monroe styled shoot.

Around the time Randii and I were discussing, I was offered the opportunity to do a styled shoot at Belcroft Estates, in Innisfil, Ontario, Canada. It’s a very funky and upscale venue with a real vintage vibe to it.

So instead of the original idea, we got Randii’s boyfriend Ty involved too, as well as some of our amazing vendor friends to create our take on a Rockabilly theme.

A Glastonbury Abbey Handfasting – Heather & Wayne

Posted on September 16, 2015 | Comments Off

Today I get to share with you Heather & Rob’s beautiful outdoor handfasting ceremony at Glastonbury Abbey from Marry Me Ink sponsor Kelly J Photography.

I always think of Wayne as my Knight in Shining armour, and he treats me like his Queen. So having our handfasting at the iconic Glastonbury Abbey, burial place of King Arthur & his queen Guinevere- was really symbolic. We even used Wayne’s large ornamental sword in the ceremony.

We chose a pagan handfasting instead of a traditional Christian church ceremony. A lovely Interfaith female Minister Nixie James-Scott from Unique Ceremony worked with us to create something personal and unusual.

We wrote our own vows, and Nixie’s husband, Palmer Fox-Eldridge (a music legend who’s performed at Glastonbury festival), played a live acoustic version of his song ‘Valentine’ as our hands were bound in a purple and gold cord. Our children lit my special goddess incense, then played around in the orchard during the ‘boring’ bits.

I decided to choose an untraditional flowing purple fairy-goddess dress, with sheer sleeves and a low cut top- so my arm and breast tattoos could be seen.

Paperless Post’s Autumn Wedding Inspiration #2

Posted on September 14, 2015 | Comments Off

It’s time for the second edition of the Autumn Wedding Inspiration boards in partnership with Paperless Post. Last week I chose a vintage waves theme and this week, we’re at the other side of the colour spectrum with one of their rich autumn designs from Oscar de la Renta. Their designs are available both online and in print.

Painted Rose – Red

As you can see from this design, it is available as both a save the date and a formal wedding invitation. Below is a red autumn wedding inspiration board that I’ve put together using Pinterest.
