Welcome to part two of this week's Post It Notes - the businessy section... Last week I spoke a little about comment etiquette, so I thought I'd continue the theme today with a few ideas on how you can get more comments on your own blog. We all like feedback and nice comments about a wedding I've shared always make me smile!Read more...

I'm keeping it simple this week. You know this already but I like to reitterate and repleat the fudementals of Rock n Roll Bride's ethos occasionally.Read more...

Sorting out the table plan can be one of the most stressful parts of planning your wedding (it certainly was for us) - knowing who's going to get on with who and worrying that everyone will have a good time! The drama can be even more so if you have divorced parents or rowing relatives! I asked my friend and wedding planner/blogger Kelly of Boho Wedding and Events if she had any advice on this tricky matter...Read more...

Arguably the most important part of your wedding day, but one that is so often overlooked until the last minute of your planning, the ceremony is the area I wanted to add some advice to this week. Enjoy! Emma Smyth If your bridesmaids are going to walk in first make sure they give each other a second before the next so the photographer can get a clear shot of each one! Then Brides.. give yourself time too! It's your moment!Read more...

Arriving in style is easier than ever these days, with some great companies around offering unique wedding day transport ideas. If the traditional horse and carriage or vintage Bentley isn't your style then there's no need to fret! "Dear twitter & facebook," I asked this week, "What advice would you offer to a Rock n Roll couple struggling with the idea of how to get to their wedding...?"Read more...

omething we all look forward to when attending a wedding is the grub right? So how can you keep your guests' tummies happy on your big day (because let's face it, you'll probably be too nervous/excited to each much yourself!)Read more...

I often get emails from brides (and a lot of the time grooms) asking for recommendations or advice on wedding entertainment/bands/DJ's etc. Now shameful admission time - despite being called the Rock n Roll Bride my taste in music is appalling. It's not cool* and it's certainly not worthy of advice-giving. So again, I've turned to twitter and facebook to help me out of this sticky spot. If you have any extra tips you'd like to add to this list, simply comment below!Read more...

Today's business and wedding note kinda have the same basic message and I think they are both actually pretty interchangeable - i.e. applicable to both wedding planning and running your own business. I'd love to know what you think in the comments below...even if it's to tell me I'm off my head... FYI I also totally stole/was inspired to think of these ideas from Noa of Feather Love Photography, who's workshop I attended this week. She rules. More on this on the blog soon.Read more...

...and by 'the one' I mean the dress (sorry fellas!) But let's be honest, as soon as girls get engaged the first thing we think about is the dress! Finally we're allowed to buy wedding magazines and look a wedding dresses online without being...well...a little bit weird. My top tip when it comes to searching for your dress is to be open minded. Yes, everyone will have an idea in their head of what they wants their wedding dress to be like but until you actually try them on, you never really can tell what your're going to like the most...and I do think every bride-to-be should try on a massive meringue, even if it's just to have a laugh!Read more...

I think that finding the venue for your wedding is one of the most stressful bits of wedding planning! It's usually the first thing you have to organise...and when you're right at the beginning of your planning it can be quite a daunting experience. After all they do say that the venue will pretty much shape the whole of your day. Eeeep! No pressure then...Read more...
