One of the most enjoyable parts of my sister's hen do last summer was making our own flower crowns with Crown and Glory. In fact it was so fun that Sophie and I decided we had to create something for the rest of you to be able to experience the same thing. And so the concept of these DIY flower crown kits was born!Read more...

Have you decided what welcome drinks you're going to serve at your wedding yet? Something lovely and fizzy or maybe you're opting for a signature cocktail? Well, how about doing both?! A few weeks ago my friends Ronnie and Sophie came over, so I thought we'd have some fun and throw a mini cocktail party. We used Freixenet Spanish Cava which is not only inexpensive, but totally delicious and dangerously easy to drink!Read more...

At the last Blogcademy class of 2014 in Auckland, we were lucky enough to have Josie of Wink helping us decorated the space. I loved her creations so much that I asked her if she'd do some DIY tutorials for the blog and print magazine over the coming months. Luckily she agreed! I think this Polaroid banner idea is super adorable and would be amazing to hang at your wedding reception. Over to you Josie!Read more...

Wooo Boxing Day! The traditional lie-down-all-day-and-eat-leftovers day. Is there anything good on the telly? I hope you all had a glorious Christmas. We were at my parents' house (as usual). My dad cooked, wine was drunk, Trivial Pursuit was played. It's funny, as much as I might dislike traditional weddings I sure do love a traditional Christmas!Read more...

Ombré and dip dye. I am obsessed. I'm not really sure what it is, but it makes me so happy! So when Elle, who owns the hire company Inspire Hire, sent me this shoot that she styled, complete with a DIY tutorial on exactly how they achieved this super gorgeous effect on the tablecloths and the dress, I knew you'd love to see it.Read more...

I am a DIY clutz. I'm the kind of girl who would glue her fingers together and get more glitter in my hair than on the thing I was trying to bling (which, actually, might not be a bad thing...) So when Fran of Fall for DIY got in touch, asking if she could create this DIY post for Rock n Roll Bride, I gleefully accepted. I hope you enjoy this one, it's a beauty!Read more...

When it came to planning how to style my recent champagne party, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to flex my creative muscles. Now I'm no expert, in fact I'm darn right rubbish at DIY projects, and I'm certainly not a professional stylist either. But I knew if I just kept things simple and threw glitter at it, it would probably work out in the end.Read more...

I’m slightly obsessed with gel manicures. I find nothing more annoying than nail varnish that chips the first time I wear it, so I love that gels last up to 4 weeks and without damaging your nails underneath. However getting them done professionally all the time can be really blooming expensive. After realising what a dent in my bank balance my love affair was having, I decided to see if there was a DIY option. And so I uncovered a brand new obsession.Read more...

Today I'm sharing the second hair tutorial from my collaboration with Your Cloud Parade and 10.11 Make Up (you can see last week's faux hawk here!) This is a elegant and ethereal a half up, half down hidden braid style would be perfect for boho or casual brides. And I promise it's not as complicated as it sounds! The best bit? It uses all the same supplies and products as last week's tutorial so if you tooled up for that one you can now give this one a bash too!Read more...

It's unavoidable. Christmas is well and truly around the corner. Soon enough we'll be knee deep in baubles, festive jumpers and mistletoe and wine. And as the party invites start to come in, the usual panic starts to set in: "Oh my God, what am I gonna wear?" If a brand new sparkly outfit is out of the question, how about adding some much needed shimmer with this easy as (mince) pie mirrorball necklace DIY. It's so simple, even I could do it!Read more...

Alongside your new fancy feather ombre skirt you're clearly going to need some killer shoes. However if you can't stretch to buying your dream pair right now, how about updating a pair of old faithfuls with these epic leather bow clips? The bows are made from leather offcuts which are cheapy available from eBay or workshops that use leather, so this is a really affordable idea too!Read more...

Gala and I often joke that we should start a blog series called 'DIY for the ham-fisted' as both of us are just terrible at all things crafty! While I still haven't quite got round to that one, I decided it was high time that I posted some new DIYs for you creative babes to get your mitts on, it's been a while after all!Read more...

So firstly a little apology. I'm away this week at The Photography Farm so there's no Thursday Treats. "Waaaah" I hear you cry, but fret not, I have something even better! Who fancies making rainbow pom poms?! OH GOD YES! You might remmeber Jen & Ben's epic rainbow wedding... oh yes, it's one of my all time faves too. So it's taken a while but I've finally bartered Jen enough and she's created a DIY tutorial of just how she made those fabulous rainbow pom poms... and if that's not enough for you, she's even done a step by step video!(scroll down to the end of this post). Over to you Jen...Read more...
