When we renovated our kitchen in a month (remember that madness!? I’m still exhausted just thinking about it!) one of the parts I was most excited about was our copper sink and tap set from Olif. I seriously never imagined a sink could be as beautiful as the one that’s gracing our worktops right now.Read more...

Hands up if you just got engaged and already you’re losing your mind trying to keep everything organised. The fact of the matter is (and as much of a bummer as it might be) you can’t pull off a wedding by simply gazing at Pinterest and hoping for the best. Girl, you need to get yourself a wedding planner book and get yourself organised! It’s time to get all your ideas, lists and to dos out of your head and down on paper. Keeping everything in one physical place is not only immensely satisfying and stress-reducing, but it’ll be something you can keep forever too.Read more...

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. I don't think I truly understood the poignancy of this quote until we started our home renovations. EVERYTHING takes longer than you expect. EVERYTHING costs more, EVERYTHING is more complicated than you think it'll be and every time you feel like you're making significant progress life throws a curve ball or another challenge at you and oh look, the bathroom is still not finished!Read more...

There’s not many things in life better than wine… except of course FREE wine! Which is why I’m so excited to have partnered with Wine Chat, purveyors of the must delicious (and most awesomely illustrated bottles of) wine in all the land.Read more...

October 2007 was when I first started writing about weddings on the internet. As a newly engaged 23-year-old I was quickly disillusioned with the wedding world that I was presented with and although Gareth and I didn't really know what we wanted for our wedding, we knew we didn't want any of what the wedding magazines were showing us. Spend £30k? Travel in a horse and carriage? Wear a big poofy strapless dress and designer shoes? NO THANK YOU.Read more...

My best babe Sophie sure is clever. Crown & Glory have been synonymous with flower crowns for as long as I can remember (and they're the only flower crowns worthy of wearing IMHO) but for spring/summer 2018 they're offering a brand new floral bevvy to get excited about - faux floral bouquets! And the tagline, bouquets you won’t want to toss, could not be more perfect!Read more...

If you've been following me for a while then you'll probably already know that Marrakech is one of my favourite cities. The colour, the people, culture, the shopping... it's just heaven. The medina is crazy busy and, at times, a little overwhelming, but there is so also much more to do here than just shop. There are beautiful, colourful gardens all over the city, rooftop terraces with spectacular views and hammams to get the scrub down of your life in! You will come home with a suitcase full of spices and colourful homewares, hands covered in henna and hearts full with all the joy of Morocco!Read more...

I am in full-on 'totally psyched for the year ahead' mode right now. I've got a bunch of new projects in the works and I'm feeling all together really positive about 2018 and what it might hold. A lot in part to all your incredibly kind comments on last week's post about the future of Rock n Roll Bride. You really have no idea how happy reading all those replies made me.Read more...

The guest list/ invitation/ RSVP process is arguably one of the most stress-inducing parts of planning a wedding. Whether its the costs involved, the general logistics or the fact that people seem incapable of RSVPing on time... its enough to turn the coolest cucumber of a bride into a raging monster.Read more...

For the third season running, the Rock n Roll Bride Collection is coming to The National Wedding Show and today I want to tell you all about it! For those of you that don't know, last year we partnered with the UKs largest wedding fair to bring something altogether more alternative and eclectic into the mix. Not only is a visit to the show a rite of passage for any discerning bride-to-be, but now even alt babes can find ideas and suppliers that they'll want to use for their wedding!Read more...

Last November, Gareth and I were lucky enough to be invited by Hilton Hotels to experience three of their incredible resorts in the Seychelles: Hilton Seychelles Allamanda, Hilton Seychelles Labriz and Hilton Seychelles Northolme. It was a trip of a lifetime and one neither of us will ever forget.Read more...
