Rock n Roll Bride in Get Married Magazine

Kat

September 22, 2010

Yeah, so I'm just being a big old show off now (am I boring you yet?!) but I got featured in yet another magazine this month! Huge thanks to the guys at Get Married Magazine for picking me as one of their 'Best Loved Blogs' (and all you little kittens who miss the 'old look' Rock n Roll Bride can see my old logo/header again - the feature was put together a few months ago - these things take time to get to real life print!)

Under the Spotlight – Priscilla of Boston

Kat

September 21, 2010

Every girl (no matter how Rock n Roll!) wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day, and when a company states their reputation on making you feel just like that, no matter what your style taste, well that's got to be one worth considering. If you really want to be spoiled, then Priscilla of Boston is the designer to consider.

The Shining Inspired Glam Goth Wedding

Kat

September 21, 2010

Mindy & David got married at The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, the hotel that provided the inspiration to Stephen King for The Shining. "Our first thoughts about what we wanted our wedding to look and sound and feel like were all over the board" the couple told me. "Our first decision was the location. We had stayed at the Historic Stanley Hotel the summer previous, and while we were familiar with much of the folklore of the place, we were delighted to find character that goes far deeper than "haunted joint." We had a wonderful time and felt a connection to the Stanley."

An Outdoor, DIY, ‘Medieval Arabic’ Wedding Celebration

Kat

September 21, 2010

When Chris & Colleen contacted their photographer Jonathan, they described their wedding theme as 'Medieval Arabic', he knew he was in for a real treat. "When I heard that, I knew we'd be in for a ton of FUN!" he told me. The couple certainly didn't disappoint, putting their all into their unusual and utterly gorgeous ideas.

Dave & Kirsten’s Tattooed & Quirky Chicago Wedding

Kat

September 20, 2010

Dave & Kirsten's kooky and personal wedding was created as a perfect reflection of them as a couple. Their love of tattoos, fashion and all things vintage was their inspiration and what really shone through on their day. The bride knew she wanted a flattering tea-length dress but after a fruitless search in dress shops and even online, she decided the best way to get her perfect gown was to create it herself. She went to the drawing board and drew out her ideal dress which she then brought to a seamstress who worked with her to make it. She accessories with a blue birdcage veil which she picked up from a vintage shop in Chicago. She picked the colour to match her bridesmaid's dresses. Finally, to complete her look she wore one of a kind jewellery all made for her by friends.

How To…Buy your Wedding Dress Online

Kat

September 18, 2010

Hi Kat, I absolutely love your blog, I luckily came across it when I was looking unique wedding dress ideas. I really love all the vintage and short dresses your brides wear and I'd love to get something like that for myself. It's been quite a relief to see that not everyone wants the whole traditional wedding!

Photography Friday – Emma Case, Kittens & Lovely Vintage Dresses

Kat

September 17, 2010

This week I bought myself a new lens. I'm not going to bore you non-photographers with camera geekery but it's very lovely (I've been swooning over it on Twitter, so if you are interested be sure to follow me.) It only arrived yesterday so only the kitten photos are taken with it (lucky me for having such beautiful models lounging around my house all day.)

Paper People

Kat

September 17, 2010

Jesse & Susan's minimalist, stark paper & industrial themed engagement shoot makes me heart go a-flutter. Mainly because it's so different to anything I've seen before. It's almost avant garde in it's simplisticrandomness and I just adore it. "The paper people was something I had wanted to do for a really long time" photographer & creative genius Duston Todd told me. "It just took the right couple and timing. Luckily Susan is an award winning designer, made her own vintage wedding dress and was able to put her talents to good use and help create the life sized paper outfits. We started out stiff and clean with the paper, then the couple suggested to rough it up and have fun - and I feel that is where some of the best work came out."

Aaron & Jay’s Sushi-Loving Rock n Roll Wedding

Kat

September 16, 2010

When I read the email that Aaron & Jay send to their photographer when they enquired about her shooting their wedding I was smitten. I wonder why huh?! "I love your photos and would be thrilled if you could shoot our wedding on July 17th of this year. We are planning a super fun, little bit retro and a little bit country wild and crazy with a whole lot of DIY elements party here in Vancouver. ps. I found you through Rock n Roll Bride (the best wedding blog in the world)." Yeah...flattery really will get you everywhere. Aaron & Jay's wedding is also completely stupendously rad ...always helps when you want to get your wedding featured on these here pages!

Mr & Mrs Tattooboy

Kat

September 16, 2010

Could these two be any more made for Rock n Roll Bride (and each other!) if they tried?! Seeing their tattoos-a-plenty and whole lot of love makes me a very happy blogger indeed. "These two cool kids are totally rockin' with not only all of those tatts, but their playful spirits & genuine love for one another" photographer Christina told me. "But ohhhh hot damn, their rockin' tattoos are flat glorious!!!! We were in tattoo heaven when we met up with them. I think I felt a little drool on my shirt. haha. With Matt being a tattoo artist they even have a few matching ones that they did themselves. They're just too cute with their tom shoes & silly faces. We LOVE Kori & Matt! Their wedding is planned for this coming october and we can hardly wait, it's gonna rock!"

A Kitschy, Quirky, Vintage Wedding

Kat

September 15, 2010

Warning: this post has a hell load of photographs and I ain't going to apologise for that. I literally couldn't cut them down! I am so excited about Lindsey & Adriano's wedding I can hardly contain myself. The gorgeous bride and her musician husband had a beautiful and quirky vintage-themed wedding at Farbridge, West Sussex. "Our inspiration was easy we just collected things we love and are interested in," the bride told me. "I love all things vintage because I love that it has history and seems to have so much more personality than many modern things. I find that vintage things were made to last and made with care and skill unlike most things today are made to be disposable and are not designed to last. I wanted our day also to have lots of elements of fun so I came up with the idea of an ice cream sundae bar so guests could be kids again, make a mess and choose whatever topping they wanted! We also bought a kiss-o-meter for a bit of fun, it was from an American site and was from the 60's. In the reception barn at Farbridge they also had a projector. One of my favourite films is Cinema Paradiso, there is a scene at the end of the film which is called the kissing scene which features lots of kisses from famous old black and white films. We played this scene on repeat on the the projector to add another dimension to the room. We had a wedding cocktail which we served in jam jars and bought some quirky straws too.All these things were good talking points for the guests and added elements of fun and interaction."

Second Time Lucky – David & Ingrid’s Redo Portraits

Kat

September 15, 2010

"David, an Aussie living in London, met Norwegian Ingrid on a trip to Norway through friends" photographer Ed began. "They hit it off straight away and had a long distance relationship for a while until Ingrid decided to move over to London. They both share a passion for music. Dave is a guitarist and music director and Ingrid is still studying, but sings. One thing led to another and they got married in July 2008 in Ingrid's home town Stavanger, in Norway. It was a fantastic wedding with people from London, Norway and Australia. However, one thing went badly wrong... their photographer lost their entire set of photos (their photographer was not me by the way!) due to a hard disk issue. Ingrid was naturally devastated!"

Couture Florals – Matching Flowers with with Ink

Kat

September 15, 2010

This funky photo shoot was set up by Michael Andrews and Flowers by Susan to showcase a different side to floral arrangements - matching them with your tattoos! They asked former client of Susan's, Danielle (who is a tattoo artist) to model for them and they shot the series in her shop.

Under the Spotlight – Ordination by The Universal Life Church

Kat

September 14, 2010

I've always been a huge fan of weddings where friends or family members of the bride & groom get ordained and perform the ceremony for them. Can you get any more personal? For our wedding, the vicar that married us was a family friend so I know exactly how extra special it feels to have someone you know and love marry you.

Rachael & Rafe’s Pagan Handfasting Festival Wedding

Kat

September 14, 2010

Rachael & Rafe were uninterested in a traditional religious or civil ceremony so decided to get married on their own terms. They were wed by one of their closest friends, Tara, in a pagan hand-fasting service which took place outside, in a small copsed wood locally known as "The Spinney". They knew very early on in their planning that this was where they wanted to get married as the couple had spent some time living on a narrow-boat on the river, and for that period The Spinney was their garden, "It was where we hung out, relaxed, partied and where our children played. It is full of trees and love and so naturally the first place we both thought of for our ceremony" the couple told me.

Issy Loves her Dress

Kat

September 14, 2010

Issy's 'Love your Dress' shoot took place in Raphael Park, Gidea Park in Essex. Her dress was by designer Ugo Zaldi and her hairband was actually found at BHS! Issy has a love of the 1960's and has a really classic look from that era with her cute pixie crop hair, so the whole styling of the shoot, from Issy's dress to the props, was set around this vibe.
