Kat

September 1, 2010

Do you remember Kaori & Alex's killer engagement session? It was all tattoos, awesome outfits and L.O.V.E. I have been dying to see the outcome of their wedding ever since and I ain't half excited to share it with you today. The couple were married at Old Zoo in Griffith Park, Los Angeles with a reception to follow at Señor Fish in Little Tokyo Area, Downtown LA. Both of them are designers so obviously their outfits were nothing short of unique and utterly fabulous.

You've got to see Kassie & James' killer Roadhouse Relics (Texas) engagement shoot! The vintage, western, neon retro decor and 50's rockabilly vibe proved to be the perfect location for such an awesome couple. The store, which specialises in neon signs allowed the couple an hour to come in and get some fabulous photographs.

August 27, 2010

I've got a bit of a triple hitter for you today - a feature in 3 parts. I was sent some images by Jonathan Canlas that he took at one of his world renowned photography workshops entitled Film is Not Dead, which was held last month in San Diego. He sent over shots of 3 equally gorgeous and totally Rock n Roll couples so I'm going to feature them all. Here we go with couple number one - Stacey & Chris.

The Music Sounds Better With You

Kat

August 26, 2010

I featured Ali & Dean's London engagement sesh a while back, and even then I knew their wedding would be totally Rock n Roll. Both of them are in bands and so music was a huge part of their day. The bride walked down the aisle to 'November Rain' and their tables were all named after their favourite bands. The day even finished with the pair playing a 'first set' on stage to all their guests instead of having a first dance.

An Exclusive Lisa Redman Collection at Luella’s Boudoir

Kat

August 25, 2010

When photographer Nick Tucker sent me just one shot from this amazing shoot, I demanded straight away to see the rest. I had a sneaking suspicion that they would be awesome...and when it comes to things like this it would appear that I'm always right! The shoot was set up by Nick and Luella's Boudoir (fabulous vintage wedding boutique in Wimbledon, London) to showcase the dresses of one of the shop's favourite and most unique designers,Lisa Redman. I actually fell in love with a Lisa Redman dress myself when I saw some of her creations on the catwalk at Luella's Boudoir bridal event earlier this year (remember this gorgeous sparkly dress?) so I literally jumped at the chance to share these with you.

If you're a regular reader of Rock n Roll Bride I'm sure you'll already be aware of the amazing Emma Case (she shot the image that I'm currently using as my blog header/my 'Punk Rock n Roll Bride' shoot) and Lucy Ledger Designs. Lucy makes gorgeously creative vintage-inspired stationary (I've also been lucky enough to feature her before as well as meet her in actual real life!) After Lucy saw Emma's work on Rock n Roll Bride she got in touch asking if they could get together to do a promotional shoot for her vintage stationary company. Hello!? Match made in vintage Rock n Roll heaven or what!?

A Quirky, Vintage & Super Personal Wedding

Kat

August 20, 2010

You might remember Amy & Darren from their fabulous All the Fun of the Fair engagement session. I knew back then that their wedding would be a super stylish and quirky affair and they sure haven't disappointed. I am SO EXCITED to share these with you. The wedding took place at a private estate which belongs to Amy's Godfather called Ipley Manor in Marchwood, Hampshire. The couple actually got engaged at the same venue 18 months earlier when Darren popped the question at Amy's birthday party in front of all their friends & family. He snuck the proposal into a game they were playing! On the day Amy wore a beautiful one off Temperley dress while Darren wore a suit from Reiss with vintage bow tie and hankie. Amy arrived in a vintage Mustang driven by her father and they were married in Amy's godfather's new pool room where an oak floor was laid over the pool itself. Amy's aunt made the cake and their tables were named after their favourite haunts in London and they had written a potted history of why for each table to make everything really personal.

Archery, Tractors & Tents – A British Summertime Wedding with a Twist

Kat

August 16, 2010

Architects Sybil & Jon planned an outdoors, Robin Hood style wedding - complete with campfire, archery and tents - at the bride's parent's house, for July 30th this year. Jon explained that they wanted the ‘feel’ of the wedding to be similar to the scene in the woods from the original film of Robin Hood. They wanted everything to be relaxed and very informal and so had tractors as their transport, a folk band and a rustic, natural style of flowers. "Sibyl was very keen to use English flowers and wanted them to look like they had been picked from the garden." their wedding planner, Kate told me. " Anne Bell sourced the flowers from a walled garden in Hertfordshireand created beautiful colourful arrangements in jars on each of the tables along withbouquets for Sibyl and her bridesmaids. The church was decorated witha stunning candle stick display and pew end arrangements tied with raffia. As an added touch the couple also quickly decorated the tractor!"

Gemma & Liam's super stylish, vintage-inspired wedding took place at the moody and dramatic venue of the 13th century George Vaults, Rochester. Just from seeing Gemma's incredible Fur Coat No Knickers dress and Irregular Choice shoes I knew their wedding would be a beaut. Enjoy these beautiful images people!

A Sparkly Rockabilly Campsite Romance

Kat

August 12, 2010

Ooh what a lovely sparkly rockabilly wedding! Lucia & Paul got married at Arundel Town Hall, West Sussex which was followed by an outdoorsy reception at the bride's sisters camp site - Billycan Camping, Arundel - which specialises in bringing back traditional camping, with bell tents, safari lounge tents and Teepees! "We wanted to create a family orientated wedding" Lucia told me. It was held in my hometown, my Mum did our photos, my Dad made the rings, my Mother in law made the cake and the whole thing was held at my sisters campsite. Fun, laughter and a relaxed environment was important to us. We'd been to so many weddings where we felt on edge (due to not knowing everyone) and we didn't want that from ours. It was a buffet lunch that was solely Vegetarian and the tables were decorated with gold sweetie bags with fake tattoos beside them- these were red hearts with a scroll across- reading "Pete & Lucia" something that went down amazingly well with the children."

Victorian Nouveau

Kat

August 11, 2010

I love the modern twist on the distinctly Victorian styling of this shoot. Layered vintage fabrics, corsets and handmade jewellery have all been offset by different shades of modern red in the makeup and styling. The shoot took place at an old historic train station which, with it's unique detailing really brought the theme together.

Nicola & Ed’s Scottish/London Fusion Wedding

Kat

August 10, 2010

Nicola & Ed wanted a diy wedding that really reflected them. The took from Nicola's Scottish heritage and had a thistle theme for their flowers and decor, all of which they sourced themselves. For their invites and order of service they used a photograph from the Bolivian Salt Flats which they had taken themselves when they were away travelling the year before that was really special to them. For the London aspect of their wedding (they married in London) they booked a double decker bus to transport all their guests and as a final touch they named each table after a London tube stop and bought postcards to add to the centrepieces.

I found Aurora & Ben's wedding when a blog reader sent me the link to the couple's blog. I was in instant love and sent them an email right away demanding to know more details! I am muchly exited to share those details with you all. I've been reading all your comments that are coming through on the readers survey and judging by your responses methinks you will like this wedding a lot - diy budget and locally-sourced loveliness!

A Cotton Candy Sweet, Truly Scrumptious Brighton Wedding

Kat

August 5, 2010

Oh. My. Gaaaawd! You are going to go utterly c-c-craaaazy for Ant & Clare's way-beyond-anything-I-have-ever-seen-awesome wedding. The pair went down to Brighton to have a personal ceremony with just the two of them. They didn't have a reception, instead opting for a fabulous photo shoot around the town with their photographer Jacqui McSweeney. This is yet another wedding to back my theory that 'blog-worthy' details are not 'all that'. Just grab yourself an wicked dress, customise yourself some shoes and get hitched in perfect Rock n Roll style! Prepare to be inspired...

The Great Gatsby

Kat

August 4, 2010

Is it possible to ever get tired of all this wedding gorgeousness? I don't think so! Julie & Eric got married at Glen Cove Mansion in NYC, a former 1920's Gold Coast estate. They emulated the Great Gatsby stylee history of the place in their wedding with the bride, who is a graphic designer, designing all the stationary herself to fit in with this theme. The couple also baked all the cookie favours themselves!

Images to Fall in Love with

Kat

August 4, 2010

"Our creative goal is to take ordinary couples and place them into fun, exciting, high-concept, themed shoots —as chosen by them, in consultation with us. If a bride has always wanted to look like Greta Garbo in 30's Hollywood, then we will sit down and work out exactly how to make that a reality for her. If the couples' vision is punk, vintage, or couture we will work with them to realise this on their wedding day. We're not restricting ourselves to a single theme, although we do have one unmovable ethos: we want to create images that our couples will fall in love with"

Elegant Vintage Vibe

Kat

August 3, 2010

Helen & Tim's darling and elegant Rock n Roll wedding took place in Manchester. I'd call their theme elegant vintage - a lovely mix of classic and quirky. Helen wore a gorgeous vintage dress from Elizabeth Avey, a vintage wedding supplier based in London and Christian Louboutin shoes. She added to her vintage vibe with a hair clip found at Alfie's Antiques Market.
