Sausage, Bacon and Eggs: Ella & Gary [UK Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on July 23, 2012 | 2 comments

Oh my, this wedding just screams cute! Kittens and an English breakfast theme? What’s not to love?! Ella is a wonderful illustrator whose work I love – especially the flamingos and Percy The Cat (See more of her wonderful work here) and Gary loves fry ups – so how better to represent themselves than having a mini fry up for the meals and decorating their venue as a cafe, complete with sausage bunting?!!

“It was a fabulous day, really lovely, all our friends came together helping us with food, music and a little photography! A friend even crocheted us a blanket as a wedding present which contained fried eggs, bacon, beans, the pink ruffles off my dress and the embroidery off the first dress I had!

“It was a real wedding on a shoestring but meant so much that all our friends made it possible. I was still stitching my dress together the night before but finished it just in time!!

“The wedding favour brooches I made based on my favourite character Percy the cat who finally found his soulmate!”

Oh my – Doesn’t it look like such a wonderful day? From Ella’s cute kitten dress to Gary’s leopard detailed suit (Just wait until to you see their pink beetle!) And their cake looks amazing! Complete with sausage bunting and sweet fried eggs!
Do leave Ella & Gary some love – See below more photos and the amazing invitations that Ella produced!

That’s right, three of my favourite people involved in one shoot?!! I LOVE IT!! I’ve loved Peggy Soo for AGES (Seriously – I think it could be a little crush) and when I heard she was teaming up with the amazing work of Louise of Oh My Honey to be photographed by the wonderful Lady Gaius.. I nearly exploded!

Isn’t Peggy Soo a beauty all gorgeously covered in ink. And such a friendly girl to boot. Do leave the wonderful ladies some love – they absolutely deserve it!

The Leopard Print Bride [UK Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on July 16, 2012 | Comments Off

Isn’t Theresa beautiful in leopard print?!! Theresa submitted her retro diner wedding after her friend Emma shared the page.. (Remember the Vegas wedding with Elvis?)
I love how quirky and fun this wedding looks – The venue is amazing!

“We kept it small and low-key but the venue (50’s diner) was perfect for us and I think near everyone said as much. We really wanted a fun venue, not some stuffy hall or a dreary banquet room. The atmosphere, service and price were right so we went for it.”

“My tattoos – Some of them have specific meanings and some don’t. It’s more to always remember what was happening at that time – kind of like a photo album. When picking my dress, my tattoos didn’t even cross my mind. They’re just there.
