Voting close on Sunday and the winners will be announced on Monday. So what else has been going on in blog-land I hear you cry?!Read more...

It's been a pretty exciting week for me this week. I was sat on the London Underground yesterday evening with photographer Penny McKinley-Rodgers (who had come to meet me to take some behind the scenes shots of my preparations for my catwalk debut at The Luella's Boudoir Wedding Fair on Monday.) I turned to her and said..."Wow, my life is weird huh? How do I get myself into this situations?" You see I'd just spent the day having my pink head crimped and coiffed at a hair trial, trying on some pretty darn stunning wedding dresses and meeting lovely people who'd made me lovely things to wear down the catwalk. I'll be posting the pictures to show you how my day went on Saturday so I hope you'll pop back then to see them. Talking of The Luella's Boudoir Wedding Fair, I'd also like to thank everyone who entered the contest to win 5 VIP tickets to the Luella's Boudoir Wedding Fair. I'm delighted to announce that the Rock n Roll Bride reader who'll be there to see all the madness unfold is...Read more...

I'm starting this weeks post with TWO exciting announcements. First off, the winners of the adorable Twinkie Chan cupcake garlands are... Huge congrats ladies! You should receive an email asking for your shipping info soon and then Twinkie will send them out to you. Talking of contests, don't forget that I'm currently hosting a free wedding photography competition with Xanthe Roxburgh - who doesn't want free wedding photographs?!Read more...

So it turns out that a Rock n Roll ring was just what you Rock n Roll Brides were in need of! With over 120 entries a random selection was really the only way to pick the winner and keep it fair. I'm delighted to announce that the winner is...Read more...

I wanted to start this edition off by announced the winner of the stupendously popular competition to win a custom wedding dress from Knot Couture. Big love to everyone who entered - we had 79 comments which really did make it hard to decide who would win the dress. However after much deliberation both myself and the Knot Couture girls would like to award the grand prize to...Read more...

It's been another mental but fabulous week in the life of Rock n Roll Bride. First off I've been organising like mad thing for the Rock n Roll party in April. Applications for tickets are now closed and invites have been emailed to the lucky 200 today. I am so sorry for those of you that didn't get a ticket but I had clsoe to 500 applications (463 to be exact) and the venue only holds 200...next time I'm booking Wembley Stadium! Please check your inboxes/junk folders/under your mattresses to see if you've got a ticket! I hope all the emails got through OK and I look forward to seeing you there. I've also been frantically preparing myself for my first ever bridal show (well the first one where I've actually got a stand as opposed to just swanning around like I own the place!) This weekend I'm heading up to Birmingham for the most anticipated bridal show of the year - The Designer Vintage Bridal Show at Highbury Hall, which will be taking place on both Saturday and Sunday. To say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement! Tickets are still available online for just £8 (or £12 on the door).Read more...

Wow what a week. I am literally dying of excitement to share the images from the bloggers shoot. I can't wait! In the meantime, pop by on Monday morning for some behind the scenes action. I also have a favour to ask you. The workshop I have been invited to speak at in Dublin, Love to Learn, may be moving to London or somewhere else in the UK. If so, would you be interested in coming to hear me whitter on and learn from the awesome Feather Love Photography and event stylists Bash, Please in September? Answers in the comments please! I am so excited about doing this workshop and I'd love to see some of you there. And finally, applications for the golden (well pink...) tickets to attend the Rock n Roll Party in April close on Sunday. If you haven't applied for a ticket yet please do! After that, I will be randomly drawing names out of a very large hat and emailing out invites and details to the lucky 200. Although the party is massively over subscribed (like, double the capacity of the venue!) please do sign up and if you are not lucky enough to get a ticket, fret not as I will certainly be organising more events like this in future! OK enough of all that, let's get on with the treats!Read more...

As most of you will know, I left my full time job last week. It was an emotional weekend of saying goodbye for me but I've certainly hit the ground running with this full time blogging thing (two photo shoots in one week? Am I mad?!) As Sunday was my last shift at the shopping channel, I decided I'd go on air to model the last piece of jewellery I'd ever sell (I was a producer you see.) Peter Simon, my presenter, who I've worked with for the last 2 and a half years who I've worked with for the last 2 and a half years, said a very emotional goodbye to me (can you see me holding back the tears?!) and the crew made a funny slate to put in the backscreen!Read more...

Have you signed up for the party of the year yet? It's shaping up to not only be one of the most popular events I've ever been involved in (nearly 400 of you have already applied for tickets!) but also one of the most exciting. This week I've been chatting music, sweets, cupcakes and centrepieces with my army of helpers, and BOY is this gonna be one hell of a party! In other news, don't forget that if you're not able to attend the party then I'm going to be at a number of other events over the coming months. I'd love to see loads of you there as always!Read more...
