My favourite kinds of articles to publish are the ones where I can give some really practice wedding planning advice. It was the kind of content I really craved when I was organising our own wedding because wedding magazines didn't ever seem to delve any deeper than "How to choose the right wedding dress for your shape" and "10 things he does that proves he really loves you" (give me strength!)

Oh 
Danni and Ben, your wedding gives me LIFE. I am so excited to share it on the blog today. This gorgeous heavily-tattooed pair were hitched in Maidstone, at a venue called Kent Life. "Our wedding theme was a bit of a mixture of 1950s, rural farm life and a tea party!" said Danni. "We love the 1950s anyway, I have a huge collection of dresses already and we just love the music and the dancing. I really love that our wedding was personal to us and wasn't generic."

Chris and Jen wanted a bohemian, outdoor wedding inspired by their love of festivals and each other. "We're lucky to be able to have a pretty bohemian lifestyle", the bride said. "We like to travel and we like to let our hair down at festivals. Many of our friends come from theses and other creative pools. Chris has African roots and we both wanted to acknowledge this in the symbolism and ceremony of our day. So I guess our theme was... us?"

Lulu and Alex's June wedding was held at The Historic Overlook House in Portland. Their wedding theme was based on a sentence that they came up with on early in the planning process. "Science, Stars, and everything we love", Lula said, "and we only picked things we really loved. We obviously had our favourite colours but also dinosaurs riding pine cones, temporary star tattoos (our son loves temporary tattoos), food from our favourite restaurant, Erlenmeyer flasks, wood tables and chairs, paper crafts, mercury glass, and all the weird beautiful flowers and eucalyptus I could have asked for."

I often say that the weddings I blog are like my children, and to choose a favourite just wouldn't be possible or fair. But Carly and Tom's is definitely way up there. Not only because I've known Carly for ten years (she was the first person I met at University and we've been BFFs ever since), not only because I was maid of honour (my first time being a bridesmaid no less!) but because it was such a wonderful and special three days and I just know you guys are going to love nosing at their beautiful pictures just as much as I did.

I'll admit, I don't always watch BBC Three's Don't Tell The Bride, but I'm so glad I caught Rosa and Harry's episode. In fact it's probably my favourite wedding that's ever been featured! For those of you that don't know, the premise of the show is the couple get £12,000 to spend on their wedding, the proviso being that the groom does all of the planning... in three weeks! The couple are separated for that time and bride can know nothing about the wedding until the day. Cue ridiculously bad decisions, overspending on crazy things and tears... lots of tears. This is reality TV gold my friends.

I'm sure you will have heard by now, but Rock n Roll Bride is partnering with the National Wedding Show, the UK's biggest bridal event, to host an area for alternative suppliers in the spring.
