We are so excited to be having a gothic themed wedding. I am wearing black and we love skulls and Halloween! How do I find wedding suppliers who actually get the gothic vibe and won’t try to make me wear white, put my bridesmaids in blush pink or have centrepieces made of peonies?Read more...

You know that one table in your seating chart that’s kind of a wildcard? Maybe it’s your old boss with a heart of gold and opinions of fire… right next to your second cousin who, for better or for worse, always spices up family gatherings. Well. When you’re wedding planning, your mixed emotions are all sitting at that hodgepodge table in your mind. And some of them? You definitely don’t remember giving a plus one (rude!) But there they all are, in their creative cocktail finest.Read more...

New York Bridal Fashion Week has wrapped, and this season it was all about reimagining the bridal rules (something we are, of course, a huge fan of at Rock n Roll Bride!) One thing stood out to us the most: the next generation of brides are more focused on self-expression, comfort, and the meaning behind their choices. The biggest shift? Texture, tactility, and detail took centre stage. Designers are crafting gowns that feel alive with things like pleats, layers, feathers and even sculpture. There was pleasing amount of colour too! The modern nearlywed isn’t content with a plain white dress. She wants depth. She wants movement. She wants to feel something.Read more...

After you pick your wedding date and location, one of the first things you’re going to want to do is put together a wedding website. Traditional paper invites are awesome (we’re obviously huge fans of print at Rock n Roll Bride!) but having something online will make it SUPER easy for your guests to get all the vital info they might need before your big day.Read more...

For over 18 years, Rock n Roll Bride has existed to celebrate creativity, individuality, and honesty in weddings. We’ve never chased trends or played the popularity game, and we never will. This manifesto is our line in the sand, what we stand for, what we promise you and what we stand against. As the world feels like its going even more mad, as the wedding industry gets even more expensive to work in and be a couple in, we felt it was a good time to remind you exactly what we do - and don't - stand for.Read more...

The wedding industry can feel like a secret club with its own language. You start out thinking you’re just booking a photographer or buying a dress, then suddenly you’re knee-deep in terms like editorial coverage, flatlays, and off-the-rack lead times. It can be very confusing!Read more...

At some point in your wedding planning journey, it probably hit you: the internet lied. Not maliciously, maybe, but persistently. It told you a wedding had to look a certain way - curated, coordinated, colour-coded to the Pantone shade of the year. That the tablecloths mattered. That the signage had to rhyme. That you needed eight matching friends in identical outfits standing behind you or the whole thing didn’t count.Read more...

The boho wedding dress market has a problem. What started as a celebration of free-spirited, unconventional style has become just as formulaic as the traditional bridal it was supposed to rebel against.Read more...

Wedding planning messes with your brain. Even if you’re the most laid-back human alive, your subconscious will still find ways to throw curveballs at 3am. Don’t panic: pre-wedding dreams aren’t omens, they’re just your nervous system running dress rehearsals for all the big stuff - love, money, family, visibility, identity. Basically, your brain is binge-screening your anxieties like it’s Netflix.Read more...

When it comes to engagement rings, tradition tends to rule, but that doesn’t mean yours has to look like everyone else’s. For couples who value individuality over convention, the idea of walking into a high street jeweller and picking out a “classic” solitaire just doesn’t cut it.Read more...

This week I was invited onto BBC Radio 4 to talk about a photographer who scammed a bunch of couples by taking their money and either not showing up, sending someone else (who they then had to pay again!) and/or never delivering any photos. Luckily, situations like this are very rare, but she shared a few tips on how to avoid it happening to you. There was so much more I wanted to say on air, so I'm taking matters into my own hands and leaving the rest of my advice here!Read more...

Weddings are meant to be happy occasions that celebrate a new chapter in your life, but with all of the expectations of what it can and should look like, planning can be really stressful! After all, it’s hard enough to take care of yourself. How do you plan an event that makes you, your partner, and all the attendees happy?Read more...

As the final model walked the runway at Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, a familiar sigh rippled through the crowd of journalists and bridal buyers. Yes, everything was breathtakingly beautiful but sat in the front row we were also kind of underwhelmed. It was all just more of the same…Read more...

There’s no rule that says a wedding has to look like lace and champagne flutes. If your life is already lived through a scene, style, or subculture, why should your wedding day be any different? Forget toning it down for the sake of tradition. This is your chance to turn the volume up.Read more...

So there I was, three weeks post-wedding, still riding the high of having successfully pulled off a day that felt authentically us - no boring traditions, no beige anything, and definitely no chicken-or-fish dinner choices. I'm scrolling through our photographer's gorgeous gallery when this nagging feeling hits me.Read more...

There’s something magical about saying “I do” under twinkling lights in your own backyard. A backyard wedding can feel warm, personal, and unforgettable, but only if it’s done the right way. Too often, couples begin planning with a set of assumptions that sound convenient but don’t hold up in reality. As a wedding planner who has designed backyard celebrations for high-end clients, I want to set the record straight.Read more...

Taylor Swift just got engaged, and the internet is already losing its collective mind. Will she wear a fairytale ballgown or a something more modern and fashion forward? Will it be a castle in Europe or a backyard in Tennessee? Whatever she does, the headlines say, will set the tone and trends for weddings for years to come.Read more...

From the post-pandemic engagement gap to the ever-mounting cost-of-living crisis, it’s hardly surprising that the wedding industry is having a tough time. It’s also not a shock to find that more and more couples are opting out of having the big wedding they always dreamed of, perhaps due to the rise in rent, mortgage rates, or the endless instability caused by the current state of global affairs. But just because it isn’t shocking… doesn’t mean it isn’t sad. So, from one rock ‘n’ roll bride to another, I want to offer you a great big hug and tell you… I get it. Planning a wedding when the world is on fire is really, really hard…Read more...
