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! Buying things from independent sellers not only means you’ll be getting something not everyone else on the planet will own, but it feels really good to support the small businesses who list on there.Read more...

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.Read more...

Le Colonel Moutarde, a family run business hailing from France, was launched when co-founder Remi stated looking for quirky, patterned bow ties for himself. He struggled to find anything he liked so he decided to make his own! With a passion for sewing passed on by his grandmother, it was the obvious solution.Read more...

There is nothing more certain in (wedding) life than the fact that photo booths make the party go off! Even the most camera shy people will be in there, rocking some silly props and laughing their arses off all night long. Trust me!Read more...

I was about 18 when I first discovered Bicester Village, an open air outlet mall in Oxfordshire. Designer goods at discounted prices? Sign me up! I've visited the village a number of times since then, always leaving with something fabulous yet affordable (my best find was my DREAM Vivienne Westwood handbag that I'd been lusting over for months which I got half off!)Read more...

Some of you might feel a bit weird about asking for wedding gifts (how frightfully British!) but actually, having a gift list really helps out your guests. 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!)Read more...

If you've picked up a copy of Rock n Roll Bride magazine this month, you will have seen that nestled in between the wedding prettiness and awesome advice, is a photo shoot from a campaign that I'm working on with Plan UK. The global children's charity have created these ring wedding favours to help raise money and awareness for making child marriage a thing of the past.Read more...

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.Read more...

I was a bridesmaid for the first time in November. I was actually the only one at the wedding and that, coupled with probably the most laid-back bride in existence, meant the whole experience was a breeze. Carly's only stipulation was that I wore grey. Easy. We went to one place and ordered my dress then and there.Read more...
