Wedding Theme - Brides With Tattoos
Are you one of the [many] women with tattoos on their back, arms, neck, and even possibly chest? Not only are you one of those women, but are you about to get married? This isn't as big as a problem as most think, so don't you worry. If you love your tattoos, there is no reason to attempt to hide your tattoos under make up or clothing if you don't wish to do so, instead why not incorporate the tattoos into the wedding?
Lets say you have a colored tattooed visible to others if you are wearing a strapless gown [which happens to be the very gown you fell in love with, but are unsure of wearing it due to said tattoo(s)] why not add the colors into your wedding. A splash of yellow, red, purple, or black, could be added to the details of the dress, wedding accessories, flowers, or tables. It could even be as simple as offering wedding favors that go along with your tattoo(s). After all, as a bride there is no reason why a passion such as body art should be a problem to have the perfect, elegant wedding.
Tattoos have been a part of weddings before, leaving the bride riddled with henna tattoos on their hands and arms, so this could be another thing to add to your wedding- getting your bridesmaids to have henna tattoos [or they may already be tattooed]. There are so many different ideas to play along with while being a tattooed bride, the idea of wearing white may not be for you, or you want to expose your tattoos even more than normal. Not only to mention you may want to have a near traditional wedding with your husband to be. All these ideas can still be pulled off without worry! You as the bride could get your bridesmaids to wear dresses that match their tattoos, or even the colors of yours.
Buying a dress is never easy, but making it your own is half the fun, adding a little bit of trim [if so desired] can be the deal sealer when it comes to visible tattoos tying into it, and doing this to the bridesmaids dresses can make them feel more apart of the wedding than before with their own little details that don't have to match the other dresses.
Lets not forget about what the tattooed bride can do with color, most tattoo artists, and people who enjoy tattoos, have a sense of creativity about them that they may not have fully tapped into. A wedding is a perfectly good time to do this and explore your creativity. Colors are eye catching, play with the mind and senses, not to mention creating a whole new environment that wasn't there before.
Flowers that match the colors in the tattoo, or that are in contrast of the tattoo can really bring a setting together. What would be even more interesting is if the bride had flowers tattooed on her and she incorporated those flowers in the wedding.
So lets not worry our heads off if we have tattoos that can be seen.
It's just a minor bump in the road that can make your wedding more special and more a piece of you than ever. So take another look at your tattoos, if you have them, and see what you can make of it- and how to make it into a fantastic, one of the kind, wedding that no one will forget.
