Music is pretty darn important to most Rock n Roll brides, and I'm often asked by my readers for suggestions of alternative songs to walk down the aisle too. I think this list tells you a LOT about my music taste..! Bring on the 80s power ballads!Read more...

Chris and Ursula met at the age of 18, when they were both obsessed with music and played in a combined schools orchestra. "He had a massive curly shoulder-length afro at the time, I wore a pink school uniform; he played oboe, I played clarinet", she said. "We bonded over car rides home and his mum’s choc-chip cookies. We were shy young things though and didn't eventually get together until a year or so later, after I returned from living in Denmark for a year."Read more...

Their budget was only $7000, but that didn't stop Sara and Jeremy organising one of the most gorgeous barn weddings I've ever seen! "The most unique part of our wedding is how many people came together to help create all the details", said the bride. "So many wonderful friends helped make things from decorations, DJ, photographer, cakes, and even marquee, to really give our wedding a handmade feel."Read more...

The massive variety of weddings that I get to feature is one of the best things about running this blog. I also love that nothing is off limits! A spaghetti themed wedding where the couple were married by a pirate in a courtyard in Poland? Oh go on then!Read more...

There's nothing sweeter than treating yourself to a bouquet of flowers. Of course it's nice to be given one too, but we can't always control when that happens. So how would you like £50 to spend on yourself at serenataflowers.com!? Whether you want to splash out on a giant bouquet to carry on your wedding day, you'd prefer something pretty to sit on your desk at work, or you'd like to go wild and splash the whole lot on wine and chocolates, I can't think of one good reason not to enter this competition!Read more...

Devin and Nina were married at the Solitude Mountain Ski Resort in Utah, in May. Her completely stunning dress was 'Josee' by Grace Loves Lace. "For our wedding day I wanted simple, and unique", she wrote. "We were exhausted of going to the same wedding over and over and wanted to do something a little different."Read more...

Last week I announced that I am going to stop producing new issues of the Rock n Roll Bride print magazine so that I can work on other exciting opportunities. Since then I’ve been flooded with messages from readers telling me how sad they are to read that news. Well, I’ve got a small, teensy confession to make… I haven’t been entirely honest with you.Read more...

I am passionate about proving that when it comes to your wedding, its not what you spend, its how you spend it! Shhh don't tell anyone, but the nuptials I feature with minuscule amounts of money in the pot are always secretly my favourites too.Read more...

Sarah and Sibley's wedding was held at The Barn at South Milton. They planned a day to celebrate them, the joining of their families and do have a damn good time! Spending just £7000, they saved money by wearing high street clobber (Sarah's incredible sequinned dress from JS Collections at House of Fraser and Sibley's snappy suit from Moss Bros) having a DIY cake, picking wild flowers and making all their own paper goods and decorations.Read more...

Vicky and Ben chose a very unusual venue for their wedding, an old Victorian Railway station! Having somewhere so different meant that they could pretty much do what they wanted for their big day. They went all out adding personal, colourful touches.Read more...

One of the things I learnt pretty early on when I started to monetise this blog, was that having multiple income streams was a good idea. While I continue to earn the bulk of my income from banner advertising and sponsored content, only relying on this every month wouldn't be that smart. I mean, what if all my advertisers suddenly decided to go elsewhere? Around mid-2012 I started to brainstorm other ways I could make an income from this site. One of those was selling products. I dabbled with a number of things but the most significant for me have been The Blogcademy, my print magazine and my headpiece collection with Crown and Glory.Read more...
