Kitsch, Colourful, Mid-Century Wedding Party

October 1, 2018

Robyn and Ash were legally married in Vegas at the Chapel of the Flowers but they wanted to host a big party when they got back to Yorkshire for all their family and friends. The party had a really low key, retro and kitsch vibe, hosted at their local community centre. The flowers came from a local flower market, the cakes were from various supermarkets and the stationery was made by the bride. Instead of a fancy meal they served wood-fired pizza and the night ended with - who else? - an Elvis impersonator!

If you're dreaming of pumpkin spice and snuggly knits then you are going to adore Kristen and Lloyd's wedding. Almost all of their reception decor was thrifted, bought online and/ or put together by the couple themselves. They hand-painted a globe to use as their guest book (LOVE THIS!) and made magnolia leaf place cards as well as gold spray-painted dinosaur toys for some added fun and a nod to the groom's love of Jurassic Park!

I've never been to a Jewish wedding, but celebrations like Shira and Irzik's make me hope I can one day. Look at all that joy! The couple were married in November (on the bride's birthday!) in Old Jaffa, Israel. Their wedding theme was mostly influenced by the bride's dress, made by Israeli brand Shimka. The vintage inspired cut and fabrics sent their wedding in a rustic yet elegant direction.

Diana and Vlad's wedding was an actual dreamland, and I don't think you're prepared for what your eyes are about to feast upon. They had three parts to their wedding and each was as incredible as the last: first, their gothic Romanian city hall wedding; a week later, their "Harry Potter in the mountains" themed reception; and finally an after-wedding photo session in Ireland, where they now live. It is just delicious from start to finish.

Handmade Warehouse and Canal Boat Wedding

Liz and Marc's big day has it all: Succulents, vintage style, a canal boat, Dolly Parton covers, a handmade quartz crystal crown and matching leather jackets with portraits of their Huskies painted on them! They wanted everyone to come to the wedding and say "This is so you two!" - and we think they TOTALLY nailed it. From the start of the wedding journey, when Marc proposed with his Nan's 70 year old ring during a period of serious illness for Liz, we knew it was going to be an emotional and personal one - but it's also super stylish and a riot of fun too.

One of the most frequent things you'll hear on Rock n Roll Bride is to have the day YOU want, one that incorporates anything and everything you love: your day, your way. Holly and David, who married in the spring at Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel, did exactly that with not just one or two motifs, but more like four! And why not - I mean, just look at their wonderful day and the sea of smiles!

Esther and Todd's wedding was a 1960s inspired celebration held in New Zealand. Being in nature was also important to both of them so they held their wedding at Port Waikato School Camp, an outdoor education camp established in 1928. The site had everything they needed including a big grassy square flanked by long dormitories (ample accommodation!) a dining hall, selection of cabins, and a stunning outdoor chapel where they held their ceremony.

Vintage Family-Focused Wedding (Re-)Planned in Four Days!

September 25, 2017

Imagine planning your whole wedding, only to have to RE-PLAN it all just four days before! Well that's exactly what happened to Chantelle and Simon's but luckily they kept their cool and still pulled off an amazing day. Less than a week to go and the couple found out their venue wasn't ready to host them. They quickly jumped into action and managed to rearrange the whole thing. The one silver lining of the unfortunate last minute venue change was that the day, that was originally going to cost £17,000, only ended up costing them just £6000!
