Anyone remember what my favourite ever wedding dress was? Well to refresh your memory (or maybe introduce you for the first time) it was this amazing multi-coloured, multi-layered crazy gorgeous 'Lustful' dress...and I just found out it was custom made by Stephanie James Couture. I just had to share this vital piece on information with you all as I have had so many emails ever since I posted that dress asking who made it..and now you know. I also started browsing Stephanie's blog and wowzer has this girl made some crazy-gorgeous dresses or what? Check out this 'Audrey' dress as worn by Tiffany on her wedding day.

Wowzer...this girl rocks her Stephanie James Couture dress! More Polka-dotty cuteness for you all!

Spectacular Glamour

Glamour. Pure unadulterated glamour. From the gorgeous Bride and her girls all in their stunning custom made hairpieces from Heather Mandin to the Groom and his boys arriving at Grouse Mountain (the Peak of Vancouver) in a helicopter, the whole day just screams magnificence! It goes without saying that the locations is spectacular, but it's the ridiculous fun they look like they had that does it for me. Thank you to photographer Gracci for sharing the love with Rock n Roll Bride.

The Language Of Love

Kat

July 2, 2009

Rock n Roll Bride seems to be going all continental today, Ukrainian photographer Nikolay Kucan is up next. Due to the whole language barrier thing I'm afraid I don't know anything about this wedding, but when Nikolay sent me an email with just a link to these images I still felt them worthy of a post. I love her cute short/long dress, the picturesque town location (is it just me or does it almost look like a movie set?!) the fairytale feel of the photographs in the woods and the Bride rocking out with buskers on the street. They look like they had an absolute blast... I only wish I could share more with you.

A Surreal Fairytale

July 2, 2009

Russian Photographer Catherine Alechinsky has send me a selection of her wonderfully surreal, fairytale-like images. These remind me of the sort of images you'd find illustrating a fantasy story...I'm going start with this cute couple...I love her hairband, she reminds me of Alice in Wonderland or something. Thanks to Catherine for sending me these and to reader Chanelle for drawing my attention to her work.

Las Vagas Showdown

Kat

July 1, 2009

Have you been eagerly sitting by your computer waiting for the next installment of Teneisha & Chris' crazy-gorgeous wedding extravaganza? I certainly have..every 5 minutes I've been checking my email to see if the rest of the photographs have been sent to me...sad? yes, yes I am. Now if you thought their engagement shoot was to die for then you ain't seen nothing yet! I'm actually going to stop gabbing on about it and hand straight over to the couple who have described their wedding and their idea of what makes a rock n roll wedding absolutely perfectly... The objective for our wedding, besides getting married, was about two things. The first was a goal that every single person have a completely kick ass time, including ourselves, and the second being that we would do things our way, no questions asked. We solved the "having fun" issue pretty easily by getting married on a Saturday evening, in Las Vegas; with a premium open bar and an excellent ipod play list. We served sushi and had chocolate covered strawberries instead of cake at our reception and had an open invitation after-party with a bathtub full of beer and debauchery that lasted until 5am. We also encouraged people to get creative with the dress code, which produced a very colorful crowd. I think that our Bride and Groom outfits helped to set the right mood as well. I wore a vintage inspired, Sherri Hill polka dotted blue/gold/silver dress with all bright red accessories that I either made myself or bought from independent artists on etsy.com. I had the dress shortened from ballroom to tea length, which everyone tried to talk me out of and I'm so glad I didn't listen! The groom wore crazy blue pants, suspenders, a fedora and an awesome bow tie that matched my dress perfectly. You love this couple right? Yeah me too. Again, I can't thank Teneisha & Chris' and their wonderful photographer Holly Jones enough for sharing this amazing wedding with me!

Artistic

This fun, quirky, laid back engagement session perfectly reflects the couple in it. With a pair of artists as subjects - Kelsey, an art historian & Stephan, a painter - what other sort of engagement session would you expect than one like this? An artistic, calm and serene vision that's what these are. I like them an awful lot. Photographer Emily Garrick seriously rocked this session - thanks so much for sharing!

One Damn Cool Wedding

Kat

July 1, 2009

That is the only way I can describe this wedding. I am swooning as I type away. Jenny & Johnny are way too stylish and way too cool, their hair ROCKS (I wish I had the balls for a cut like Jenny's - mohawks are hot!) and of course their tattoos look awesome (Jenny is a hairdresser and Johnny is a tattoo artist, can you tell!?) In fact I don't think their is anything I don't like about this wedding - Jenny's vintage dress = gorgeous, the flower girl = cute (dress from etsy) the ring ninja (oh yes, no ring bearers here) = beyond wicked. One of my favourite details had got to be their unique guest 'book', an original piece art work designed by Johnny of the two of them, that each guest signed. The couple tied the knot in Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids. There had never been a wedding held here before as it is usually used for concerts and festivals in the summer and as an ice rink in winter. For more, be sure to check out photographer Jill's blog and the couple's slideshow eeek! Thank you so much to Jill for sending me these, you have made my month!

One Year On…

Kat

July 1, 2009

Good morning sunshine! Blimey it's a scorcher here in England today...I am sweating away as I blog (nice!) Let's get this party started shall we? Julia & Neil got married a year ago but were never happy with their wedding photographs. They enlisted the help of a dream team of photographer Laurie Levenfield, make up artist Stacy McClure and hair stylist Maria O'Rilley to finally give them the photographs they wanted on their one year anniversary...and oh did they! From the train station, to the graffiti wall and the beach to Chinatown - this whole shoot is pure San Fran cool.

Giddy With Bloggy Excitement

OK so I'm pretty much giddy with excitement over sharing this Las Vegas engagement session and wedding sent to me by photographer Holly Jones. Chronologically it makes sense to start with the engagements right? I am c-c-c-crazy about Teneisha's pink dress and yellow shoe combo and of course the Neon Graveyard makes for a completely awesome backdrop. EEEK I can't wait to show you the wedding later - she has the most gorgeous green, polka-dotted dress!

A scholoristic wedding with a Best Girl rocking it in a top hat is something to be shared. Sharon & Dan definitely went all out to make sure their wedding was truly original, even so far has having the one of a kind 1925 Studebakeras their wedding transport. They also had a theologian conduct their ceremony which was written with the work of Lord Byron, William Morris and Walt Whitma in mind. If you want to know more about this highly intellectual wedding, check out the Groom's Blog! Credit: Studio J

More Polka-Dot? Yes Please

Today has inadvertently turned into a polka-dot bride love fest! Is this Bride stunning or what?! I have mucho love for her.

Garden Rose

Kat

June 30, 2009

I have something to say and it may be shocking to some of you...I don't 'get' Martha Stewart...what is they fascination? I'm just as crafty as the next geek but something about her repulses me just a little bit. Maybe it's because the first time I ever heard of her was when she went to jail (I'm in the UK, not Mars by the way) or because whenever I catch her on Wedding TV (yes I am that sad...) I feel inclined to run away. I mean, she's not very rock n roll is she? However, I just saw this wedding on her ridiculously kitch (although it pains me to know it's not even in an ironic way) wedding website, and despite the source this wedding is so uber gorgeous that I have to share the love. John & Lily married in Lily's parent's back garden which had great sentimental value for the couple. Lily's beautiful bouquet was made of bridal garden roses, dahlias, orchids, lily of the valley, jasmine, sweetpeas, and scented geranium, all tied together with a cute blue ribbon. She also ordered some custom Liberty fabric clutches for her Bridesmaids, each designed to fit the individual girl's personality. Clicky here for more images and info, and let me know - am I the only wedding obsessive that doesn't love the Stewart?

Polka Dot Bride

Kat

June 30, 2009

When Leslie & Steve got married they decided to all kick it with their Converse trainers (that's Chucks to you guys in the States), even the Bride got in on the action, rocking her green trainers under her beyond awesome polka dot dress (I am still waiting to find out where she got it from, don't worry I will let you know when I do!) The theme was glorious green which really brightened up an otherwise cold winter wedding.

An Inspired Choice

Kat

June 29, 2009

Photographers Craig & Chanelle Segerius-Bruce met Andy & Kim way back in 2007 in South Africa, when they (the photographers) were on their own honeymoon. The wedding took place at Parley Manor in Dorset and Kim wore a Benjamin Roberts dress. My favourite of all these images, has to be the Jeff Newsom-inspired swirly light shot..mean, moody and very very cool. I am doing a photo shoot with Chanelle soon..I am very excited about it as the concept we have come up with is quite different to what you might be seeing everywhere else right now...hint: I'm getting all crafty with black tulle!

A Vintage Masterpiece

Kat

June 29, 2009

If Ginny & Ed's vintage wedding isn't featured on every wedding blog out there I will eat my..well, hat. Does photographer Josh Goleman get the best clients or what?! Remember these guys for example? Yep...amazing! Although my automatic reaction is usually to be against the idea of asking guests to dress as per the theme of your wedding, I have to admit the effect of everyone vintaged-up together is phenomonal to say the least. I am literally dying of excitement to share these!

For Those About To Rock…

Kat

June 29, 2009

With a rock star Groom like Jeremy would you expect anything less than a wedding like this? The couple choose an awesome venue and had live music a go go! They walked down the aisle to Led Zeppelin and had friends playing an acoustic set during their ‘cocktail lounge’. The speeches sound like they were somewhat epic, with Alison’s brother even getting everyone shout “For those about to rock, we salute you" at the end of his toast! Jeremy’s parents rapped during their speech and Alison’s dad sang for his. For favours the couple made a ‘Rock Star Survival Kit’ including a custom guitar pick, a shot glass and bubble gum. The couple also got their wedding rings engraved with the words ‘you rock’ on his, and ‘you rule’ on hers (made by The Devil’s Workshop)…definitely not the usual soppy stuff! Alison’s dress was by Alfred Angelo, her hair piece by Etsy seller, GG Designs and her gorgeous bouquet & Jeremy’s boutonniere were made by Princess Lasertron.
