The One Thing You’re Leaving Out of Your Wedding That You’ll Regret Afterwards

If I've said it once, I've said it a billion times - investing in your wedding photography is SO important. However in all the discussions we've had on this topic, there's one thing that's often forgotten (and I'll admit, even by me sometimes) and that is the wedding video. I understand why so many couples decide to not have one. Whether its budget constraints, memories of cheesy 90s VHS tapes, thinking you'll probably never watch it afterwards, or not liking how you look or sound on film. So I decided to open the discussion on the topic in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group. Here's just a very small sampling of what they had to say.

Le Colonel Moutarde, a family run business hailing from France, was launched when co-founder Remi stated looking for quirky, patterned bow ties for himself. He struggled to find anything he liked so he decided to make his own! With a passion for sewing passed on by his grandmother, it was the obvious solution.

There is nothing more certain in (wedding) life than the fact that photo booths make the party go off! Even the most camera shy people will be in there, rocking some silly props and laughing their arses off all night long. Trust me!

March 5, 2016

I was about 18 when I first discovered Bicester Village, an open air outlet mall in Oxfordshire. Designer goods at discounted prices? Sign me up! I've visited the village a number of times since then, always leaving with something fabulous yet affordable (my best find was my DREAM Vivienne Westwood handbag that I'd been lusting over for months which I got half off!)

How to Plan a Gift List That Keeps Everyone Happy

Kat

February 17, 2016

Some of you might feel a bit weird about asking for wedding gifts (how frightfully British!) but actually, having a gift list really helps out your guests. These days, there are so many alternative gift list services available for those of you that want a more flexible registry, but one of my very favourites is Prezola (so much so that I've convinced my own sister to use them for her July wedding!)

If you've picked up a copy of Rock n Roll Bride magazine this month, you will have seen that nestled in between the wedding prettiness and awesome advice, is a photo shoot from a campaign that I'm working on with Plan UK. The global children's charity have created these ring wedding favours to help raise money and awareness for making child marriage a thing of the past.

February 5, 2016

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, more than anything else in your wedding, you should invest as much as you can in your wedding photographs. After the cake has been eaten and the dress is relegated to the back of your wardrobe, the photos taken of your special day are all that remain (well, apart from the marriage of course!) They will sit on your parents' mantelpiece forever and when you're old and grey you'll be dragging out that photo album to show your grandkids how young and gorgeous you looked.

How to Save Money on Your Bridesmaid Dresses

February 3, 2016

I was a bridesmaid for the first time in November. I was actually the only one at the wedding and that, coupled with probably the most laid-back bride in existence, meant the whole experience was a breeze. Carly's only stipulation was that I wore grey. Easy. We went to one place and ordered my dress then and there.

Win a 1950s Inspired Wedding Dress from True Bride!

Kat

January 13, 2016

It's no secret that Rock n Roll brides love short, 1950s style prom wedding dresses. In fact I often think it is probably the style I'd wear if I was getting married again. Not only are they super duper flattering to nearly every body shape, but the short style gives some much needed sass to a wedding day ensemble! When my friends at True Bride, who have just launched a fifties-inspired range, got in touch to ask if I'd like to give away one of the dresses from their brand new Brighton Belle collection, after sobbing a little that I couldn't be the one to win it, I jumped at the chance!

Running your own business is probably one of the best things ever, but the fact that you don't get a Christmas party along with the rest of society is very sad indeed! So my fellow self-employed babes and I are planning on throwing our own cocktail, cava and Mexican food shindig this weekend. It's going to be epic and of course there's only one thing on my mind... finding a brand new outfit!

Obsessing over Latvian designer Katya Katya Shehurina's incredible wedding dresses is something I've been doing for a long time. Based in London, they specialise in breaking tradition with their bridal wear by bringing a fresh new look to vintage and boho styles. So, when they sent over these images of their dresses modelled by a gorgeous pink haired, tattooed babe which were photographed exclusively for Rock n Roll Bride, I was thrilled beyond belief.
