Lame wedding music gives us the sads. It's not easy to find love songs that stand out from typical lovey-dovey wedding crap. If it's not teeth-rotting candy, it's done-to-death repeats from internet wedding song lists. If you've got an allergy to clichéd wedding songs, you'll find the antidote here. Startling as it may seem, there are plenty of interesting wedding songs if you know where to look. We've put together a list of quirky, alternative and authentic songs for daring lovers. It’s taken some intensive research and lot of late night wine and dancing, but it was worth it. We hope you enjoy folks, and there’s a spotify playlist to make your life easier.Read more...

Boudoir shoots are nothing new. Hell, I had one when I was engaged in 2007 (and no I'm not going to show you them!) While lots of brides might consider doing them, I'd have to hasten a guess that a lot of you reading this might have dismissed the idea as something silly, vein and super embarrassing. While in 2007 the main marketing push for boudoir photos was an "a gift for your man" (vom) ten years later and I'd still like to encourage you to consider doing one, but as a gift for YOURSELF.Read more...

Whether you think you want to wear one or not, I think every bride should try on at least one wedding veil. Like nothing else, veils have the power to completely transform your entire wedding day look and whatever kind of dress you've picked, you can totally rock one. However there are so many different types of veils available that it can be a bit confusing and rather daunting when you start looking for one. Luckily, today we've partnered with Britten, experts in the field, who are here to demystify everything veil-related for us!Read more...

I got divorced in 2015, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. That’s not to say that I regret getting married -- simply that getting divorced was a very positive experience. In the past two years I have completely flourished, grown, and changed beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m also in a relationship with a man who fills my heart in a way I’ve never experienced before.Read more...

If you've been reading Rock n Roll Bride for a while, you'll know how important I think having a great wedding photographer is.

To get the best wedding photographs it's important that you and your photographer communicate. Disappointment is almost always a result of both parties expectations not being well aligned beforehand. As well as letting them know what you want, it’s also really important to listen to their advice and to trust their expertise.Read more...

There are always a lot of questions in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group about getting married in Vegas - how to do it, if its legal when you're not from the US, recommendations for suppliers that will do a good job...
