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!

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.
Be sure to head back next week for more lovely things on Marry Me Ink from Simply Bridal!

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!)

Good evening! It is my pleasure to introduce to you Becky Ryan Art & Illustration. Becky’s work has a gorgeous retro twist, oozing with vintage glamour. Recently I saw images of her latest venture – Becky’s illustrations on cups and saucers. I want to purchase a set for myself! These are especially my favourite as they are full of nauticalness!
“Hi! I’m Becky Ryan, a freelance artist/illustrator from Liverpool, England, now based in a small town in Derbyshire.
I’ve been working freelance for the past few months since relocating and having to give up my job at Tate Liverpool. I worked (for a very short time!) as a waitress, but didn’t enjoy it at all, so decided to try and really go for it with my art, and now it’s my only source of income, the dream being to eventually earn enough to make a living from.
I specialise in portraits but also dabble in logo design and I am available for commission!
“I’m inspired by bits of everything really, but at the minute vintage style and the burlesque scene are heavy influences. My personal interests are comedy – romcoms, music, animals, old photographs, and handwritten letters. I feel that I’m quite a sentimental person, and that comes across in my drawings, which have been described as delicate and feminine.
Recently I’ve done a lot of work for burlesque performers and took part in my first ever gallery exhibition this year in London as part of a group show called ‘A Brush With Burlesque’ in which I exhibited 8 portraits of performers such as Anna Fur Laxis and Missy Malone.
“Also this year, I started my own range of hand-painted crockery featuring my own designs. The range is called ‘Hello Sailor!’ as it is inspired by vintage style sailor tattoos along with cheeky vintage imagery such as winking sailor girls, and stockings and heels. The range includes cup and saucer sets, plates, bowls, mugs, salt and pepper sets and more.
“Aside from the crockery, I’ve also now got tote bags and t-shirts available with my ‘Hello Sailor!’ logo artwork on them, and I’m currently trying to find stockists. The range has gone down well with followers of my Facebook and so I’m trying my hardest to get somewhere with it as I feel it has potential…
“I’m not married myself, but I love seeing photos from weddings online, particularly if they have quirky/unique/creative elements.
I’d love to have the opportunity of being involved with a wedding on an artistic level, be it creating custom illustrations for invitations, wedding portraits for the bride and groom, or even sorting some personalised hand-painted crockery for them as a keepsake.
If you like the look of my work, do please check out my website and get in touch if you feel I could be involved with your special day.”
Below is another illustration from Becky that she recently did – I love it. And also some recent pictures of a wedding that she helped out at which she’s interested in pursuing should there be any brides on a budget in the Derbyshire or Merseyside that area interested in getting images with a bit of a vintage twist.
Do leave Becky some love – I adore her work. You can view Becky’s other stuff on her website, Facebook and Twitter.
