A Red And Black Wedding – Louise & Richie

lu richie-175

“The day was perfect from start to finish and we wouldn’t have changed a single thing.”

Louise & Richie met through mutual friends in 2005 but didn’t get together straight away. When they eventually did, they moved into a bungalow aptly named “The Bungalow Of Rock”. Two years later, Richie proposed at the top of the London Eye at sunset – A perfect time during Louise’s 30th birthday outing.

The only DIY element was stamping the guests names on our seating plan and place cards. It was fun until I realised I’d ordered a kit containing one stamp of each letter. So printing names like Tara, Penny and Donna proved difficult!

lu richie-142I currently only have one tattoo which is a ½ sleeve on my right arm. I knew I wanted a 50’s style dress from the word go and after researching some designs I did chose a sleeveless one so my tattoo would be on show. It’s beautifully bright and represents change and personal growth so was significant in my journey to becoming Mrs P. (however I added a fake fur jacket for the evening as our wedding was in October and there was a chill in the air!) Continue reading

“Tattoos to us are stories and experiences, meaningful imagery. We love owls, its something we have found ourselves collecting over time so made sense to get an owl with each others name in a scroll.” Continue reading

A Black And Teal Wedding – Carrie & Sean

Carrie & Sean have such a great story – especially on how Sean proposed!

“I was out with friends and saw Sean working as a bar back at a local bar. I gave him my number and told him to call me. We ended up hanging out that night and casually dating for a while. About a year later I got pregnant with our son and our relationship went from casual to baby making. Sean moved in and we welcomed a perfect little boy into the world and after 6 months we planned a 2nd baby.

It’s not easy to keep things secret when you live together and have a child, so I was onto him. I was under the impression that he was using the money to get a more family friendly car.

A Black Theme Wedding In December – Amy & Paul

Scone-29There’s something beautiful about black & white, It looks so classical. This is exactly how Amy & Paul’s wedding looks. Beautiful. Photographer Kelly Weech is fantastic. Amy & Paul look so happy. 

“We often buy each other tattoo time for birthdays and Christmas. It’s kind of a safe bet as its not just going to sit in the cupboard collecting dust and you get to keep it forever!”

Scone-17“When we told people that we were having black as our colour/theme, I think they expected us to have skulls and some kind of demonic figures everywhere! The actual reason we choose black was because I think it is quite timeless and it gave us an elegant yet simple feel. I wanted nice clean lines. We both said from the start that although we were having a sit down meal, we didn’t want anything too formal, just a nice relaxed atmosphere where all our guests could sit relax and enjoy themselves, especially with having the wedding only three days after Christmas.  The atmosphere, happy go lucky time where we could all eat drink and be merry represented us as a couple. Having all of our family together was quite an important factor as we don’t get to see everyone together very often, we’re all a little scattered around the country .

Scone-3“We did a lot of DIY in the preparation for the wedding,we started by printing and making our own invitations,which was surprisingly easier than we thought but we did keep it simple and in context with the black theme. I also decorated some lanterns to go down either side of the aisle.
