Luxury Dresses From Simply Bridal [UK Tattooed Bride Blog]

Good morning! I love starting the week on Marry Me Ink with something gorgeous to look at. Today I’m excited to introduce beautiful bridal wear from Simply Bridal –  who specialise in creating made to order dresses at amazingly reasonable prices.

Victoria Gown

I had the opportunity to chat to Shelly who is a part of the Simply Bridal community and she had lots to tell me about their gorgeous dresses!

“SimplyBridal started with the basic idea of helping the bride, not the middleman. All of our dresses are under $600 and made with outstanding quality in fabric, materials, and fit without the inconvenience and costs of traditional bridal boutiques and retailers. Our designer has over twelve years of experience in the fashion industry, and has designed for BCBGMAXAZRIA in Los Angeles, and Suzi Chin for Maggy Boutique in New York. She holds a BFA degree in apparel design from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

“Our brides inspire the dresses at SimplyBridal. As we have a variety of clients, we provide a wide array of dresses, anything from classic to modern and everything else in between.
At SimplyBridal, we are certain that every bride will be able to find the dress of her dreams.

Roasalie Gown

“I personally don’t have any tattoos, but one of girls at the Simply Bridal office has six. She has “toujours” on her inside wrist, this means always in French. She also has a cute little pig tattooed on her lower back, which is her zodiac animal.

I believe that a halter or strapless style would be a good fit for the tattooed bride; it allows a good amount of arm, chest, and back exposure. Also a tea length dress would be nice for the tattooed bride as well, as many girls have artwork on their ankles and feet. 

Morgan Gown

“I find that the style of the dress is very dependent on the personality of the bride. Anything is possible! I think that vintage and modern dresses would be more fit for a tattooed bride over a very ornate style. I believe that the dress shouldn’t overpower the brides’ bodywork.”

Aren’t their gowns beautiful! Don’t forget to check our their other gorgeous gowns, especially the bridesmaids’ section – Lots of pretty! Thank you Shelly for sharing their wonderful website!

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

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!

Peggy Soo, Lady Gaius & Oh My Honey [UK Tattooed Bride Blog]

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]

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.

“We don’t have wedding tattoos but we do have his/hers sugar skull tattoos that we got in the early-days of dating.”

Doesn’t Theresa look amazing?!! Do leave some love for the gorgeous couple! (Also, Emma caught Theresa’s bouquet – How coincidental!)
