Wedding favours get a bad rap but they are a great way to personalise your wedding tables. M&M's offer an amazing personalisation service, where you can choose the colours of the chocolates to match your theme and then add a logo, phrase or even a photo to the top of them! I obviously had to try it out and I think our logo looks so cute on the pink M&Ms. Even Gareth was like "Oooh these have our logo on them!" when he saw them. Crowd pleaser all round.Read more...

One of the thing I'm most proud of with Rock n Roll Bride is our position to encourage brides to do whatever they want for their wedding. We're not in the habit of passing judgement on who you marry, how you marry, and definitely not on how you spend your money. Want to drop £3000 on an incredible designer gown? Do it! Prefer to get something handmade by an independent British designer to your exact specifications? You go girl! Or maybe you're the kind of babe who wants to run out to the high street and grab the first dress that takes your fancy? This is your wedding and you do it your way!Read more...

There are two great life lessons I've learnt since embarking on our renovation project: Everything will take 1716 times longer than you hoped it would, and IKEA is basically brilliant. OK so I knew the latter already, but when you have people coming around for your first attempt at hosting Christmas Eve and you realise that morning that you haven't got enough chairs for everyone... Well let's just say I thank those Swedish home gods everyday that they decided to open a branch in Reading.Read more...

Having a "blank canvas" wedding venue (where you can literally take control and do anything you heart desires!) is a dream for many alternative brides, but it can be somewhat overwhelming. Without any constraints it can be difficult to know where to start! So today, in partnership with the fabulous JJ Media Group, I'm here to give you an idiot's guide on how to do it!Read more...

Setting up your own wedding website (or "wedsite" for short) is pretty much a must-do for today's technologically-savvy couples. You might think it's a little narcissistic or TMI to create a webpage specifically to talk about your wedding, but they're actually really useful for your guests too.Read more...

Finding that one perfect wedding dress can be a stressful task. There are so many shapes, styles and colours to consider. So is it any wonder that finding a single bridesmaid dress that four, five (or more!) of your best girls will all love equally can be an almost impossible task. Not only do you have their different tastes, styles and body shapes to consider, but the costs can really add up too. Stress City, population: YOU.Read more...

"There's a magical place, we're on our way there With shoes in their millions all under one roof..." Seriously, Irregular Choice should totally steal the Toys 'R Us theme tune because never has anything more accurate been written about how I felt walking into their flagship store. Last week I was invited by their head office to go visit the Carnaby Street shop and pick out some pretties to take home with me! Well, they didn't have to ask me twice.Read more...

The guest list/ invitation/ RSVP process is arguably one of the most stress-inducing parts of planning a wedding. Whether its the costs involved, the general logistics or the fact that people seem incapable of RSVPing on time... its enough to turn the coolest cucumber of a bride into a raging monster.Read more...

Picking a wedding band that you know you're going to love can be tricky. While all the experts recommend you do as much research as possible and try to go see your potential band play before you book them, we all know that's not always practical for a busy bride and/ or groom-to-be!Read more...

If there's one thing that makes a wedding go off more than anything else, its the right music. Hiring a killer band or fantastic DJ is a great idea, but if the entertainment budget is tight then a DIY playlist is the definitely the way to go! I'm sure many of you reading this are already planning to do that in fact which is why I'm thrilled to introduce you to My Wedding Songs today. Their aim is to make the job of compiling your perfect wedding playlist much easier - and it's totally free to use!Read more...

Around five years ago, after way too much abuse from DIY bleaching, my hair was in a bad place. It was dry and brittle and wouldn’t grow past my shoulders before breaking off. Naturally, my hairdresser wasn’t impressed and helped me to see the damage I was doing to it through over-bleaching. If you’re partial to a splash of unnatural colour in your hair the chances are you can totally relate to this problem.Read more...

By now you've probably already heard of, or even considered, having your eyebrows microbladed. A few of my friends have had it done and always raved about it, but I'd honestly never really considered it for myself. I've always been pretty proud of my brows. Thankfully, I managed to swerve the over-plucked trend of the late 90s (due mostly to laziness than anything else!) so I didn't think I really need it done. However when I was invited by Sian Dellar to try it out, I thought it would be a really interesting experiment.Read more...

You only need to do a quick Google search to realise that personalised gifts are 'the thing' right now, and with good reason. When it comes finding those one-of-a-kind items for your loved ones, there really is nothing more special than creating something that shows that you've thought about them specifically and picked something that they'll really love. But it can be difficult to get it just right. Here's my top tips for creating a memorable and special personalised gift.Read more...
