A Pastel And Country Wedding – Hannah & Craig

Posted on January 31, 2014 | Comments Off

“The photos we have are just the perfect memories of the most perfect day”

Beautiful tattooed bride Hannah & her husband Craig were married in Bletchley Registry Office, followed by a blessing ceremony at Craig’s Parents’ country house back garden with fantastic photography from Natalie J Weddings.

“Natalie was the first photographer I met and that was back in September of 2012 and I didn’t see any others, I just knew straight away she would do an amazing job and she did. I think using Natalie was the best thing we did.”

We were engaged for 3 years before we married, once Craig had proposed we didn’t make plans straight away and didn’t ever say it would be a particular date or year, it was in the spring of 2012 looking out across Craig’s parents garden and land that we decided it would be the most perfect venue, it was from then on the wedding plans went into full steam ahead! The “venue” we had was certainly the lighting out of the blue inspiration we needed to kick start the plans, that’s what made the wedding so unique, Craig’s parents have a stunning home and we are so deeply grateful to them for allowing us to hold our Wedding at their house.

A Vegan, Down To Earth Wedding – Dea & Dominik

Today I get to share something pretty awesome with you. You may remember Dea from a previous post where I got to interview her about her gorgeous tattoos and artwork here. Well, she got married!!

The part which represented us as a couple I think was the leaned back atmosphere. We had a camp fire, singer songwriter music and an open air location with a vegetarian/vegan buffet with a vegan wedding cake! We were surprised and pleased how happy everyone was with our decision not to have meat on the menu.

We put together all of the decoration elements such as bows and garlands. As our western-inspired outdoor location was already so pretty and romantic, we didn’t have to add too much stuff.

The Wedding Of A Jeweller And A Tattooist – Emily & Kyle

Posted on July 19, 2013 | 2 comments

Today I get to bring you this gorgeous wedding photographed by New York’s Joyeuse Photography that took place in Washington. Emily & Kyle even got one of their friends ordained so they could have a more person ceremony.

Being a jeweller, Emily made their own wedding rings – “My business partner made my engagement ring and I wanted to make a really special and unique, but still simple wedding band to fit to the shape. I probably made 8 models before I came up with “the one”. My husband just wanted a plain half round gold band, but being as I am a jeweller I just couldn’t bear doing at least something a little interesting to it. So for his band I forged it out with one of his father’s old hammers. The beat up face of the old steel lent a cool stone-like texture to the gold.“

We’re both in artistic trades (I’m a Jeweller and he’s a tattoo artist) so we wanted to make as much stuff as possible. He printed our invitations from a linoleum block that he designed and hand cut. I made home made canned jams as our favours (blueberry apple, plum cardamom, pear ginger, strawberry rhubarb, and apple butter). I also sewed all my bridesmaid dresses and we made all our decorations.

The Wedding Of Two Love Birds – Laura & Bill

Posted on June 26, 2013 | 2 comments

Today I get to share with you Laura & Bill’s elegant and vintage wedding photographed by the wonderful Inna of Peach Plum Pear Photography. They both met at Bill’s work, a bird store, and it all grew from there.

My Mom would always tell me that she wanted me to meet the “hot guy” that worked at the bird store – “hot guy” being Bill. I finally dropped by the store with her one day in August 2006. I immediately locked eyes with the gorgeous brown haired, blue eyed boy. Of course I was too shy to speak to him, so we ended up chatting online not too long after. It was everything short of romantic, but we still like to revisit that day.

The detail that represented us the best at our wedding was definitely our cake topper. We wanted to incorporate our 3 cats, Steve, Frank and Cole because they are our world. I found a girl from South Korea who makes AMAZING custom cake toppers completely out of clay. She created a cake topper of Bill and I with our fur babies. Everyone absolutely loved it and we now have it on display in our house.

We knew we wanted a shabby-chic inspired wedding. For our table numbers, we found vintage looking picture frames. We hand painted each table number and placed them in the frames. Not only did they look super cute, but we got to reuse the frames around the house.

“The one thing I did not want to do was hide my tattoos on my wedding day. I wanted to embrace my ink and show it off proudly. I love the look of tattoos mixed with elegance.”

We don’t have any couple themed tattoos yet, but we have definitely been thinking about it. There’s always that stigma with getting a tattoo based on your significant other, but I have trust that we can totally beat that.

Oh how awesome are Laura & Bill. Thank you to them both for sharing their wedding day with Marry Me Ink today and to Inna of Peach Plum Pear Photography. Be sure to leave them some love!
