Once upon a time, a bride chose the dress. One gown, worn for the whole wedding day. But times are changing. More and more nearlyweds are picking not just one, but two wedding dresses. Swapping their traditional gowns for something fun, flirty, and way easier to dance in as the night goes on. Enter the mini wedding dress.Read more...

I recently stumbled upon a charming little book called Don’ts for Wives, written by Blanche Ebbutt and published in 1913. This tiny tome is packed with advice on the secrets and pitfalls of being the perfect wife. With sections devoted to the essential aspects of a relationship, it reminded me that at its core, marriage still comes down to some simple truths about love, partnership and patience. I thought it would be fun to look at what was at the centre of a perfect marriage over a century ago, and see how it compares to 2025.Read more...

Even after working in the wedding industry for over fifteen years, I never truly considered myself a feminist until I started planning my own wedding. And now? I’m shouting it from the rooftops. I’m a proud, modern feminist, and I’m bringing that energy into my own big day.Read more...

We really want to do our own thing for our wedding and not follow pointless traditions. However, we have some very conservative relatives who will expect certain elements. How do we tread that fine line between doing our wedding our way and not alienating everyone we love?Read more...

There are several things you need to consider when deciding what you want your wedding to look and feel like: your budget, your guest count, your venue, your priorities, and your vision. This is especially true if you’re working with a smaller or limited budget.Read more...

There is nothing I love more than getting together with a friend or two for a crafternoon of sewing, making and creating. When I got married, I spent a weekend with one of my bridesmaids, who (major friend flex) just happens to be a set sculptor for Hollywood films. We made 12 gorgeous little hobbit houses for the tables, a postbox for the cards, and I designed all the invitations, stationery and signage. For anyone with a penchant for making, the idea of a DIY wedding can be a dream. - a great way to add your own unique identity to your day - but that’s not the sort of DIY I want to focus on in this article. Instead, I’m going to look at those moments of wedding planning when perhaps you shouldn’t be doing it all yourself. When actually it might be better to ask for help or even to employ a professional!Read more...

Scrolling through a sea of lookalike weddings or feeling overwhelmed by watching too many TikToks about the latest ‘must-have trend’ is very normal. But, just how do you ensure your wedding feels like YOU and isn’t just a culmination of the 500 videos you watched this week?Read more...

When you’re planning your wedding, it’s a wonderful opportunity to bring your friends and family together to celebrate all the different layers that make the two of you… you! All those hobbies, interests and passions you share can be whisked up to make a sweet, unique, you-flavoured cake, with all the sprinkles and decorations you might fancy. Unfortunately, however, a wedding day is often viewed by others as an opportunity to throw their own ingredients into the mix. When this happens… how can you express yourself and stand up for what you want… so that you can get the sweet result you dreamed ofRead more...

I always love writing for Rock n Roll Bride in January. I love picturing all the new readers, who got engaged over the holidays, giddily unwrapping their first issue and settling down with a hot chocolate by the fire. I love thinking about some of our more seasoned readers, who can now start saying that their wedding is “this year” instead of “next year” … (Eeee! So exciting!) And I love having a chance to remind every Rock n Roll Bride reader out there exactly WHY they have chosen this wonderful magazine as their sparkly little helper on their wedding-planning journey.Read more...

The wedding boudoir photo shoot is in vogue again—and what a fantastic trend! It encourages people to step into their most sensual selves, adorned with lingerie, and take control of their sexiness in celebration of entering a new era of their lives. However, the idea of posing in my underwear in front of a camera and a stranger (the photographer) would have filled me with dread only a few years ago.Read more...

Gone are the days of monochrome matrimonial monotony being the only option. This is your guide on how to colour outside the traditional lines. There was a time when the only colour in your wedding would be ‘something blue’. Suits were drab, dresses were white; as were the tablecloths, the candles, the cake. We even had a name for it: ‘The Big White Wedding’. A celebration of love, defined by its lack of colour.Read more...
