A Home-Brewed Winter Wedding

Goldie & Christine

July 14, 2015

Anna and Liam were married in Louisville, KY on December 20th. The day had a winter and Christmas theme with lots of homemade touches. "We knew that we didn't want something formal or scripted for our wedding", said the bride. "Instead we wanted a big party! Neither of us are one for formal events, and we knew we wouldn't feel genuine having the cookie cutter wedding. We wanted something laid back and enjoyable that didn't break the bank and I think we succeeded."

Urban Bohemian Wedding: Kristin & Eric

Ryan Flynn

June 26, 2014

Kristin and Eric were married on 28th December and so they wanted their wedding to have a festive, gilded vibe. They day was held at 1927 Events, a historic space in Seattle. "The time of year really guided our choices", wrote the bride. "We always wanted a wedding close to the holidays, so we really went for a romantic cocktail and dinner party vibe rather than a wedding. We wanted it to feel really informal instead of the traditional agenda burdened wedding."

Teeny Tiny Devon Wedding at The Summerhouse: Katie & Dan

Shell De Mar

March 22, 2014

Katie and Dan had a teeny tiny wedding (just them and their parents!) at The Summerhouse on the Millbrook Estate in Devon in December. Because they kept their guest list so small, they were able to do exactly what they wanted and to pull it all off for under £8000! Their smaller than average budget certainly didn't mean they had to compromise on the things that really wanted. Katie had a custom wedding dress made by Jo at The Couture Company and they booked the amazing Shell de Mar to shoot the day.

December 10, 2012

I don't know about you, but I've been feeling exceedingly festive this year. I love Christmas, but usually the build up isn't my favourite bit - I tend to get a bit bored of it all! But not this year! I'm loving all things Crimbo and I'm so excited for the 25th December already! Now, I hope I don't have any Christmas Grinches reading, but on the off chance that I do, Marian & Michael's retro Christmas wedding is sure to banish those blues and get you SLAP BANG into the holiday spirit...

An Indie Rock, Winter Wedding: Vicky & Martin

Kat

February 29, 2012

On December 10th, Vicky & Martin were married in a gallery space, which they made their own, in Hull. They didn't have the easiest wedding planning journey, with not one but two venue's cancelling their bookings, but at the end of the day the wedding was perfect. "We were not the luckiest of couples when it came to our wedding planning as we had two different venues cancel our booking!" Vicky told me. "We booked a local hotel's wedding package a year in advance and believed that everything from the food to the centerpieces was taken care of. With six months to go they called and cancelled our booking, leaving us panicked and miserable. After considerable research we booked our local youth hostel for a weekend festival in their beautiful medieval building - they cancelled our booking with less than four months to go!

Rock n Roll Bride Christmas Cards on Sale NOW!

November 21, 2011

Ho Ho Ho, Meeeerrrrrieee Christmas! I've been feeling seriously festive these past few weeks. I think it's something to do with a combination of The Spirit of Christmas Fair that I attended with my Mum last week (it was so FUN!), the fact that I no longer work in a job where we're forced to sell everything as a potential Christmas gift from September and because I've been working with the amazing Sugalily (who also designed the Rock n Roll Bride notebooks and 2012 wallplanners which, by the way, are still available to buy) to design a range of Rock n Roll Bride Christmas cards!
