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.

Stacy Gown

“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.”

Jessie Gown

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!

Fun Facts From Simply Bridal: Engagement Rings [UK Tattooed Bride Blog]

I had this sent to me from Simply Bridal – They’ve started to inform all you lovely brides and couples with some fun facts!
The one they sent through was all about the prices of engagement rings. It’s interesting to know how much we spend in comparison to the celebrities!

Interesting isn’t it? I do love coloured engagement rings – especially sapphires.

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!)
