Music Inspired Winter Wedding with an Alternative Church Ceremony!

July 26, 2018

Music holds a special place in Katie and Darren’s heart - both musicians, Darren proposed at the gig of one of their favourite bands, and were introduced through musical friends. They’ve always liked to do things a little differently, and so it was obvious from the start that their wedding wouldn’t be predictable. Darren kicked off eschewing the norm when he wrote ‘yes!’ on Katie’s finger with a Sharpie instead of giving her a ring after he proposed!

Kelly and Charlie met after exchanging insults (!) at an Indie/Rock night in Soho, so it made perfect sense that music was a big part of their wedding theme.

Melanie and Adam's October wedding was a super cute take on a Halloween theme, keeping everything super light, bright and airy at Oldwalls in Gower, Swansea. As an ex practical-SFX artist and with it being Melanie's favourite holiday, the couple wanted to evoke the imagery and colours, but most importantly the fun of it for all of their friends and family to enjoy. It was also a non-negotiable that her rescue chihauhau, Periwinkle, was able to take part in the day.

When a wedding is described as "Midsummer Night's Dream meets Lord of The Rings", you know it's going to be pretty unique, and Natalia and Steven's day certainly lives up to this promise. They even dared guests to outdo the bride and groom within the realm of the 'fancy dress' theme they'd set!

Gemma and Tom's gorgeous Brighton wedding proves that sometimes size isn't everything. They celebrated with only ten members of their immediate family and had the intimate wedding of their dreams, with a small dinner following their ceremony. They had a loose theme of 1950s burlesque, romance and Hollywood glam.

Anna and Ben's woodland wedding was captivating (geddit?) and enraptor-ing (double geddit!?) All puns aside, their beautiful dinosaur-themed wedding day was a riot of colour and fun, featuring loads of handmade games and outdoor decor to make you properly swoon. Plus, peep the seriously cute bridesmaids' outfits!

When the couple met via an Instagram account called "The bearded pantie droppers", you know it's going to be a good wedding. And you'd be right - Rose and Matt's rockabilly pub wedding day was a glorious melee of everything they loved including donuts, tattoos and Sailor Jerry. Not only that, but it was all done for £2000. TWO. THOUSAND. POUNDS!

Succulent-Filled South of France Themed Wedding… with a Rice Krispie Wedding Cake!

Sophie Cooke

Lesley S

July 2, 2018

Although they’d gone to the same school and have family members who’ve known each other since they were tiny, Kirsten and Jack's paths didn’t cross until a Christmas Eve pub visit in 2013. They had their first date that same Boxing Day and have been together ever since! As it has a way of doing, life tried to throw a spanner in the works when a month into their relationship, Jack was offered a job in Nice. They did long distance for a year and then Kirsten followed her heart and moved to France to be with Jack. It’s there, after three years, that they got engaged, so it made sense for the South of France to feature heavily in their Glaswegian wedding!

Niamh and Jasper kept it real and romantic with their wedding, secretly eloping to New York to get married. After a run of deaths in both of their families, they decided they wanted to have something happy instead of sad to celebrate - and they created something beautiful, too.

Jess and Sven’s weekend long Scandi-boho inspired festival wedding was as laidback as they are, and organised in just FOUR MONTHS! “We work abroad for most of the year, running a sailing boat in the Med,” said Jess. “So despite being engaged for well over a year, we hadn’t made any effort to even set a date.” On a whim in May 2017, they couple decided on that very September, and then planned and organised the whole thing from Mallorca!

Coleen and Gavin's jawdropping wedding day was held at their farmhouse in Margherafelt, Northern Ireland. The ceremony was performed by a druid and the full-day reception was essentially a festival, with 25 acts over three stages (yep, you read that right!). And on top of that, just wait til you see Coleen's spray painted rainbow dress!

Enrico Cellotto Venice

June 13, 2018

We love to celebrate love on Rock n Roll Bride, which is why it's so nice to see alternative vow renewals as well as original ceremonies on here too. Jenny and Alan's is no different - on the 30th December 2016, they took to Venice with their four children to renew their vows (made on New Year's Eve 1991!) and looked every inch the gorgeous pair. Their inspiration was "25 years of marriage, four fabulous children, amazing city celebrations, and setting the tone for our future..."

Charlotte and Gian's wedding was held in Chester Zoo, and it just keeps getting better from there. Their wedding was a perfect blend of British and Indian traditions - we're talking henna and Battenberg bouquets here, people - for an animal-themed, colourful and creative day.

Simple Tapestry

June 7, 2018

Music is a massive thing for Carrie and Dee, who met at a house party after they'd finished working at Belfast Music Week in 2011, plus Carrie photographs bands for Getty Images (as well as weddings!) so it was a major theme for their New Year's Eve celebration. Their other big love is good food and wine, so the meal had to be amazing! Basically, they said, it was all about everyone enjoying themselves.

A Double Wedding with a Labrador Ring Bearer, Oodles of DIY & a £3000 Budget

June 5, 2018

Millie and Mitchell said their biggest aim for their wedding was to capture fun and personify it into a colourful, laid back, alternative day. They actually had two wedding days. The first was the legally recognised one at Portsmouth Register Office with 14 guests made up of their families and one close friend. They followed it with a breakfast of champions in Chambers restaurant then on to the arcades at Southsea Seafront in the rain. Then, three days later, they had a big forest festival style party with a second ceremony in a woodland shelter at the Sustainability Centre in Petersfield. Even with having two events, they kept the budget under £3k!

Rea and Rhi's colourful woodland wedding is not only beautiful to look at, it's a totally feelgood day too. Their inspiration for the day was about community, with everyone coming together to support them and celebrate their connection. There's a beautiful communal spirit that oozes out of these photos. And with a colour scheme that extended to 'hot pink, yolk yellow, orange, salmon and purple', it was also all things bright and beautiful!
