June 1, 2016

Today I wanted to do something I have't done for many years, to introduce you to a quirky new wedding supplier, but in the form of an interview. It was really fun to revisit this format of blogging and to pretend like I was a legit interviewer for a moment there! Be sure to read to the end of the article too to find out how you can win the headband featured above in your choice of colours! We all know I am obsessed with headwear, the crazier and more colourful the better, so I think it'll come as no surprise that today I'm chatting to someone who makes wool pom poms and turns them into gorgeous things to wear! Introducing Jess of the fabulously named Fat Pom Poms...

If you’re anything like me, you’re already obsessed with Etsy because it’s the perfect place to find unique items for your wardrobe, home, wedding and beyond!

Focus

April 27, 2016

If I've said it once, I've said it a billion times - investing in your wedding photography is SO important. However in all the discussions we've had on this topic, there's one thing that's often forgotten (and I'll admit, even by me sometimes) and that is the wedding video. I understand why so many couples decide to not have one. Whether its budget constraints, memories of cheesy 90s VHS tapes, thinking you'll probably never watch it afterwards, or not liking how you look or sound on film. So I decided to open the discussion on the topic in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group. Here's just a very small sampling of what they had to say.

These days, there are so many alternative gift list services available for those of you that want a more flexible registry, but one of my very favourites is Prezola (so much so that I've convinced my own sister to use them for her July wedding!)

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, more than anything else in your wedding, you should invest as much as you can in your wedding photographs. After the cake has been eaten and the dress is relegated to the back of your wardrobe, the photos taken of your special day are all that remain (well, apart from the marriage of course!) They will sit on your parents' mantelpiece forever and when you're old and grey you'll be dragging out that photo album to show your grandkids how young and gorgeous you looked.
