A Dance Filled And Fun Wedding In Stafford – Becky & Simon

Posted on February 18, 2016 | 1 comment

Today’s bride and groom have matching tattoos and a love for the dance floor. Becky and Simon were married at countryside Grade II listed building Weston Hall accompanied by their friends and family, complete with Staffordshire wedding photographer Ragdoll Photography.

I met Simon in Tenerife in 2008. We were both on holiday with our friends. Simon caught my eye as we were dressed up as cow girls and Simon had the obligatory check shirt to match. I went over to ask for a picture with him, we got chatting and as they say ‘the rest was history!’. (I did however get his name wrong the first few days of us meeting as after first trying to convince me he was the bass player from Noah and the Whale (don’t worry – I didn’t fall for it!) he then introduced himself by his nickname Cully, to which I in a drunken haze heard Colin!)

Our day was based about being relaxed with a vintage/music twist. Our invites and seating plans were album covers based around The Beatles Hard Days Night LP, we had a love heart canvas made of plectrums for people to sign instead of a guestbook, song sheet music as part of our table decorations and not to forget my secret love heart, bass clef tattoo. Simon plays the bass in a band. We kept it vintage with our beautiful camper and minis and I had a 50’s style dress made.

A Halloween Themed Wedding With Cats – Fran & Lewis

Posted on February 15, 2016 | Comments Off

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you tattooed bride Fran and Lewis’ Halloween wedding and handfasting from favourite Assassynation Photography. Fran wore a stunning Couture Company leopard print dress and then everyone went back home for a movie and pizza – PERFECT!

How did we meet.. The gym (I told my best friend I was going to marry him and have his babies). We wouldn’t speak to each other there so I messaged him on POF. We spoke for months then arranged a date to take our dogs for a walk. We went to Cannock chase for our first date – a popular place for dogging at night time (We tell everyone we went dogging on the chase for our first date!!)

Everything represented us at the wedding. My heartagram on the belt and Lewis tattoo heartagram on his wedding Finger. Our favourite band had to be in there somewhere. Having the cats there was so important to us. And watching Pet Semetary at home with pizza really represented us as a couple. Everything we did was completely us.

Love Letters – When You Know, You Know

Posted on February 9, 2016 | 1 comment

Today on Marry Me Ink from Savannah Lauren Photography is Seth and Lauren’s gorgeous tattooed and bearded engagement shoot.

I met Seth two years ago. He was invited to join me and his sister Savannah for Indian food. About a year later, July 2015, I had accidentally invited him to an event where we watched a movie in the park. Seth came up to me and thanked me for inviting him. We started talking that day and we haven’t really stopped talking since.

I knew I wanted to marry Seth only a few weeks into dating him and I had never felt that way about anyone else. He felt the same way. It really is like they say “When you know, you know”. We both definitely knew! Seth was clear about his intentions with me and that helped us to build trust really quickly.

The Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza – Birmingham

Posted on February 8, 2016 | Comments Off

Back in early 2012 a wedding show like no other was borne. It tumbled, devoid of elegance, from the crazy hearts and minds of three creative wedding industry suppliers, Sassy (Assassynation), Jo (The Couture Co) and Vikki (Liliia Designs). Their desire was simple; to encourage couples to shake off the shackles of wedding conformity and showcase the very best of alternative wedding industry suppliers, who are also known as The Baaad Ass Mother Flockers!! (Aka Baad ass Mo Flo’s) who all offer a diverse and eclectic feast of all things wedding in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment. I went last year – It was awesome! There was so much cool stuff going on – Check out how it looked with these photos from the day from Louise Holgate Photography.

The motto is ‘Don’t be a wedding sheep, it’s all about EWE!’

Since 2012 The Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza has showcased a wonderfully diverse range of services and products, from kick ass wedding dresses to sculptural flower bouquets, from gothic themed wedding cakes to some of the best DJ’s around. Previous shows have included live music, stilt walkers, a procession of models in gorgeous dresses and accessories on the Real Bride’s walkabout and amazing prizes to be won in the renowned treasure hunt.

In 2016 the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza is back with a bang, with a vibrant, unique and eclectic show in Birmingham!

The Extravaganza will be held on the 21st February and will take place at the unique Bond Company, a hidden gem in the heart of Birmingham’s industrial Digbeth. The Bond Company even has a café which is a great place to sit and consider all the unique wedding products and services on offer.
