Craft Parties from Adore By Chloe [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on June 9, 2012 | Comments Off on Craft Parties from Adore By Chloe [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Good afternoon! I hope you are well on such a terribly wet weekend. I’m quite enjoying being snuggled in watching series’ all day – We spent Thursday getting drenched in the downpour and scared at Alton Towers so it’s nice to have a rest! (P.S. The new Nemesis Sub Terra is not a ride, just a horrible walk-through scare! NOT for kids and the easily scared!)

Do you fancy something different from your usual hen party? Chloe from Adore By Chloe has created craft parties! 

“How about hosting a craft party? It’s the perfect daytime activity for hens that want a relaxed, fun and creative afternoon. Run by Chloe from Adore, the UK’s leading crafty wedding blog, you’ll have a craft expert to teach you new skills, help you make something personal and give you lots of creative ideas and tips!”

There are plenty of crafts to choose from, from creating handmade stationery to decorating personalised candles. Chloe can also create a bespoke service to help create something unique for your wedding day or for you all to take home.

How it works…

1) Email Chloe with your preferred date, time and craft project. Once this is finalised a non-refundable £100 deposit is required to secure the booking.
2) Invite your group along!
3) Chloe will get in touch a few weeks before to confirm numbers and all the final details.
4) On the day of the party Chloe will set up all the materials and equipment you need to get making and bring lots of examples to help inspire you!

Prices start at £15 per person (depending on the craft) for a minimum of 6 people. The parties can last up to 3 hours and be held anywhere in the East Midlands– at your home or a venue of your choice!

An Ace, Naturally Tattooed Wedding – Stuart & Antonia [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on December 21, 2011 | 1 comment

Good evening! Today I bring you the wedding of Stuart & Antonia – A fabulous tattooed couple who celebrate in a Canterbury youth hostel! Emma Lucy contacted me with these images and they are so gorgeous!

Antonia made her own dress and it looks stunning and her string of pearls were made for her by Stuart’s Grandmother which were passed down to his Mother- such gorgeous colours that fits perfectly with her tattoos and the natural colour theme which they integrated throughout their day.

Here a few words about Stuart & Antonia’s day from Emma:

“They put on a great party with the vibe of a house party (even had a big garden fire) where Stuart and their friends DJ’ed until the early hours and people kipped overnight in the dorms.

“Slight hitch of the day – Stuart’s classic car broke down just as they were leaving the reception, I’ll never forget the sight of Antonia in her wedding dress and heels pushing the car through the centre of Canterbury! Unfortunately I would have caused a hazard if I had stopped to take a photo!”

This is one beautiful wedding! Do look through all the photos – it looks like such a fun day!
And their rings are epic! – Rach.XX

Nic & Mike’s DIY Vintage, Tattooed, Tea-stained Wedding [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on October 10, 2011 | 4 comments



Today I bring a spectacular wedding from Assassynation – a photographer who also  loves a bit of ink!


Nic and Mike got married back in June this year and everything was DIY! After exchanging vows at Exeter registry office and some fantastic photos – they held their reception in their own back garden which included handmade cupcakes!

Nic owns her own business – Songbird Tattoo where she specialises  in blackwork, dotwork and mehndi styles..
Just look at their tattoos – they’re so beautiful! (Nic also designed Mike’s tattoos!)

Nic’s dress was from Unique Vintage & was very white when it arrived, to which Nic then decided to stain in Earl Gray and coffee which later happened to her House of Fraser bolero! From the top of her handcrafted brooch headpiece down to her Irregular Choice shoes (which were the first item to be purchased!), Nic looked fabulous in 50s vintage and made an utterly beautiful tattooed bride and such a cute tattooed couple too! And they have an owl cushion!!

 

(Kat at Rock n Roll Bride also featured this wedding in June.. You can see her write up here)

Be sure to leave Sassy some praise and some love to Nic & Mike below!
