Laura & Harry’s Locally Sourced, Eco-Friendly, Midsummer’s Nights Dream, Vintage & Totally Rock n Roll Wedding

Kat

July 26, 2010

Excuse me one second while I scream "EEEEEEEK!" at the top of my lungs, because that's exactly how I felt when I first saw Laura & Harry's eco-friendly, vintage-heavy, Rock n Roll inspired backyard wedding. Oh yes, I really do love to feature true Rock n Roll Bride weddings - ie weddings of those that I was able to help and inspire with my little blog. Laura & Harry actually found their fabulous photographer Rosie Parsons and Laura's gorgeous vintage Fur Coat No Knickers dress after seeing them on the site. Yey!

Eccentric, Retro & Kitsch

Kat

July 26, 2010

Chen Lie & Thom got married in Oz in a crazy, wild and fun party way. She is Australian and he is British (they now live and work in Prague!) so they decided to head over to Chen Lie's hometown of Perth for their 1960s/70s/John & Yoko inspired wedding.

A Sunday Kind of Love – Good Friends, Drag Queens & THE Sparkly Skull Tiara

Kat

July 25, 2010

I've got a really superficial Sunday Kind of Lovin' for you today but what the hey?! I really just wanted to share some photos and fun times from my night out last week with the awesome Emma Case, David McNeil and my Butler & Wilson sparkly skull tiara. We needed a gossip, we needed a catch up and we needed a (few) cocktails!

Agony Aunt Anna – Purple Problems

Kat

July 24, 2010

Woohoo. New feature alert! I've decided that Saturday's are going to become guest post days. I've always shied away from featuring guest posters before because...well...let's be honest I'm a control freak and am very particular about what I like (just ask my husband!) BUT I've got a few reasons for changing my mind and introducing this new concept to the site. Therefore I thought it'd be cool to share my thought process with you all before we get going - and I'm going to be honest (because as we know, that's me!)

Kat

July 23, 2010

Today I wanted to introduce you to a Yvette Craig Photography, a photographer from Kent, who loves to travel (and would love to travel to capture your wedding!) and who has a very classic, elegant and almost fine art style. Who are you and what do you do? I am Yvette Craig and I am a wedding and portrait photographer, and my aim is to capture you in a classical, timeless style.

Kat

July 23, 2010

This fabulous shoot was set up to promote the Rock n Roll wedding planners, DandyLion Events and their new alternative bridal sessions. "A dandyBride is independent, interesting and fearless. she knows what she likes and her wedding reflects that! she wants people to know who she is instead of hiding behind traditional conventions" they say.

Thursday Treats – 22nd July 2010

Kat

July 22, 2010

Today's treats is a little bit on the diet side because last night I went out with some of my favourite people and I am now mucho busy trying to catch up on the hundreds (literally) of emails that now fill my inbox. We had an utter utter blast though (totally worth it) and I wore my sparkly skull tiara. I will definitely be sharing some piccies really soon! But oh yes, I've still got the yummiest treats from all over the inter-web for your perusal. In fact Rock n Roll Bride is the only place to be for all this treaty goodness. I do the searching so you don't have to!

A Spider Ring, A Diamond Skull & Empire State Building Shoes

Kat

July 22, 2010

I think the phrase 'off the hook' was invented for engagement sessions like this. Danielle & Ed have such amazing style! First up her ring is a custom made creation by Greenlake Jewelry Works...and it's a spider! The heart diamond in the ring actually belonged to Danielle's Grandmother. Secondly her shoes are in the design of The Empire State Building (wow!) by Geox and thirdly they have a crystal encrusted skull lamp that they found unadorned in a vintage shop. Danielle & Ed added all the sparkles themselves...I love it. In fact I want one!

A Beautiful Elopement

Kat

July 22, 2010

I love a good elopement story. I bet sometimes when the pressure of all this wedding planning rubbish really gets to you that the thought of it is a pretty attractive one huh? Well an elopement can be beautiful, meaningful and gorgeous - it's not just all running off to Vegas and getting married by Elvis.

Motorbikes & Lucky Strike

Kat

July 22, 2010

This awesome shoot was put together for Little White Dress bridal boutique in Bakersfield, CA. I love that a bridal shop went for such a retro rockabilly look for their promotion. "I really wanted to do an out of the box bridal shoot in a retro cigarette style ad reminiscent of the old Winston \ Lucky strike ads" photographer Jeb told me. "Our model Rebecca Lotze has such a unique classical look that we picked her for this shoot not only because of her gorgeous look, but because of the genius she brought to the shoot. We collaborated with another designer, Brandon Smith of B-Love clothing, and came up with the "Trust No Man" shot."

A Punk, Rockabilly, Neo-Gothic, Country & Western Wedding

Kat

July 21, 2010

The whole wedding was perfectly put together and customised by the couple to give the day a truly unique feel. Everything from Michelle's dress - which she bought as a 'standard' dress and had red tulle and the red waist panel added to it and veil - which her Mum made; to the centrepieces - which they made themselves with a mix of antique Coke bottles with sand, red water, a gerbera and curled wood; to the placecards and invitations- which they also made themselves, were unique and interesting.

Are you ready to see Michelle's crazy gorgeous bridals? Well my dears you certainly won't be disappointed!

A Punk, Rockabilly, Neo-Gothic, Country & Western Engagement Sesh.

Kat

July 21, 2010

Michelle & Mike's engagement session is a total reflection of them as a couple. They were inspired by Quentin Tarantino for the style and used their "Rockabilly, car kulture, punk culture, antiques, vintage & neo-traditional design and styling, neo-gothic, country/western, low-brow art, tattoo culture, vintage pin-up/greaser" personalities as the theme! They even brought a 1970 Mustang Grande & 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne along for the ride.

Sentimental, Personal & Vintage

Kat

July 21, 2010

David & Julie-Anne's wedding shoot was a total reflection on who they are as a couple. Everything they chose to wear had special meaning to them and was sentimental and personal. "We didn't want the usual stresses of a modern day wedding to take away from the love and happiness of our day, so we chose to keep it simple, fun and comfortable" they explained.

Nick & Hannah’s Game Playing, Fancy Dress Celebration

Kat

July 20, 2010

Nick & Hannah had a 3 day wedding at Christian retreat and conference centre Lee Abbey. The celebrations started with a day of fun activities for all their guests including archery, mountain boarding and zip wiring through the forest. Not only that, but all their guests were invited to wear fancy dress. That sure made for lots of laughs and some awesome photographs. The couple made an extra special effort, coming as Robin Hood and Maid Marion. Hannah had even worn her Grandmother's own wedding dress in memory of her.

Blake & Megan’s Vintage, Diy, Anniversary Sesh

Kat

July 20, 2010

Blake & Megan have been married a few years but wanted to do a new photo shoot to reflect who they are as a couple right now (I'm hoping to convince Gareth to do the same thing soon - the latest photos we have of us together are our wedding photos. In these he has a shaved head (he now has long hair) and I have brown hair - we couldn't be more different now!)

A Really Dramatic Impact

Kat

July 20, 2010

As a pale chick with brightly coloured hair myself, I felt an instant affinity to Cheyenne's photo shoot. Photographer Sarah wanted to contrast with something dark and almost gothic is style as she knew this would create a really dramatic impact. "The black lipstick was definitely my starting point for the rest of the styling. Our first outfit was the lace trimmed bodysuit with the patterned tights and long coat. We shot in the late afternoon, but it was still over 100 degrees here (LA), she was a real trooper. I thought that this would be an interesting approach to a boudoir session with a bride not into the traditional lacy panty pics. I hope I find a bride who would be down for it! ha. All of the outfits were from my vintage and thrifted collection of pieces."

A Psycho Wedding

Kat

July 19, 2010

Why have I never seen a Psycho themed wedding before? This is so incredibly cool! Robert, a film director, and his bride Suzi, a make up artist, sent out generic invitations for their June 5th Wedding. It included a strict meeting time and hints of being transported to a secret location. This year is 50 years since Psycho terrified audiences all over the world and the film-loving couple thought that the very house that the movie was filmed it would make the perfect location for their wedding. It was the first ever wedding held at the Psycho House. The pair really went all out with their theme which started when and the groom appeared from the House escorted by none other than Norman Bates as Mother. He descended the famous staircase and the bride entered from Janet Leigh's room #1. The recessional ended with Robert carrying Suzi back to the hotel under the watchful eye of Norman Bates.
