They wanted a laid back wedding with lots of food and drink, so Kara and Ash planned a festival inspired wedding for July. They had a small budget, but with a help and ideas from Rock n Roll Bride and Pinterest they were able to pull of a wonderful and really personal wedding.Read more...

I usually do an introduction type post at the start of every year, where I tell you who I am and show you around the blog... just like a digital tour guide. But this year, my TENTH as a wedding blogger, I thought it would be fun to try something new.Read more...

Jess and Dan got married in Manchester in July. They met in Brighton Pavilion Gardens, where Dan also proposed, in 2009. A major reason for them getting married was due to Dan being diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2015. “We'd been talking about getting married for a few years already” said Dan, “but a big life threatening illness does wonders for making you do things more promptly. On hearing the news of my illness, Jess asked me (still in my hospital bed) if we should get married. I said 'of fucking course' and the rest is history.”Read more...

Michelle and Marc were married in June in a cave! Their wedding theme was 'A Midsummer Nights Dream meets woodland' focusing on nature and on having an inside outside vibe. “As a massive Shakespeare lover Shell chose the theme, A Midsummers Nights Dream, for the wedding” said Marc, “2016 is also the 400 year celebration of Shakespeare so it couldn't have worked out better!”Read more...

I published close to 400 real weddings on the blog in 2016 (WHAT?!) and while every single one is special and beautiful and wonderful in its own way, there are always a few that really stand out. Here are my top 20 weddings that I shared throughout the past year. Did your favourite make the list? If you want to check out more 'best of' posts, why not check out my real wedding round ups for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 too?!)Read more...

One of the most fun and creative parts of my job is the editorial fashion shoots that I create with my INCREDIBLY TALENTED photo shoot team. For issue 10 (Sept/Oct 2016) we wanted to channel one of the original Rock n Roll couple: Elvis and Priscilla Presley. We used just one model, Tarla, who was actually the perfect Elvis and Priscilla, and we shot at Hotel Pelirocco in Brighton.Read more...

Did you have a fabulous Christmas? I sure hope so! I'm getting super excited for 2017 now, not least of all because the brand new issue of Rock n Roll Bride magazine hits the newsstands on January 5th. However if you'd prefer to stay inside and hide from the frigid weather you can pre-order your copy from us right now. It costs the same as in shops, £4.99, and UK delivery is still completely and utterly FREE. Can you believe that we've now done TWELVE ISSUES? That's two whole years of Rock n Roll Bride in print!Read more...

Is it the weather? Is it the time if year? Is it the fact that for a lot of people 2016 has been a bit shit and there's way too much uncertainty about what's to come in 2017? In all honestly, I don't really know what the reason is (probably all of the above!) but the impending end of 2016 has felt like no other year I can remember.Read more...

Sarah and Justin were married in Yaletown, Vancouver, in October. Their wedding theme was eclectic with a bohemian, art deco glam feel. “We wanted our guests to be relaxed as well as showcase our personalities” explained Sarah, “so we had a relaxed reception with food stations and canapés rather than a sit down meal.”Read more...

Back in November I was super excited to host a competition for two readers to win a £2000 shopping spree at designer outlet Bicester Village. Our lucky winners were Vicky, who brought along her mum, and Rachel who visited with her sister and her mum. I wanted to catch up with them both because I thought it would be fun to see what they bought and find out what their experience was like.Read more...

There's nothing I love more than seeing brides wearing the collection I designed with Crown and Glory on their wedding days (except maybe wine, but that's a completely different story and not relevant to today's wedding...) So when Vicky and Andy's adorable Asylum Chapel wedding landed in my inbox, and I saw that Vicky was sporting some rather fabulous Liberace ears. I knew I had to share it!Read more...

The inspiration for Nicole and Theo;s winter wedding was the colour palette of the Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Other than that they just wanted the day to be relaxed.Read more...

When jewellery designer Kayleigh married Neal in Dublin, they picked a theme to reflect the bride's passion. Being obsessed with raw crystals and metallics meant they ended up with a theme that included stars, crystals and a touch of boho.Read more...

After moving around the world together (NYC, LA, NYC again and then the UK) they decided to marry in June of this year.Read more...

Kelli and Danny's Mexican wedding was themed around the location, a garden. They wanted an outdoor wedding and Casa Hyder in in San Miguel provided the perfect setting. They also wanted something super colourful!Read more...

Emma and Adam got married in Bedford in May. Their wedding theme was colour, sugar skulls and Famous Stars & Straps (a clothing brand started by Travis Barker of Blink 182). The most important aspect for them was everything being colourful, which included the bride's dress from The Couture Company. It had personalised embroidery on the back: two skulls, one with purple hair (for Emma) and the other with an ‘F’ embroidered onto the skull (for Adam). The bride also DIY’d her own button bouquets and buttonholes (made a year in advance!), with the help of her mum. They used multi-coloured buttons and pom poms.Read more...
