I was excited when I featured Olivia & Mark’s engagement session a few weeks ago (they are another Rock n Roll Bride couple and found their photographer Lisa Devlin on the blog) but when Lisa sent me in their wedding the other day I was even more excited! I really do have the best readers don’t I!?
“Olivia & Mark are originally from LA and wanted to give their friend’s and family a quintessentially English experience for their wedding” Lisa told me. ”When we woke up in The Cotswolds to the sound of lashing rain, I thought they were going to get the full glory of a British Summer and it would be wellies all round. Their optimism was infectious and everything was set up for an outdoor ceremony in the grounds of Barnsley House, although some bin bags were left on their paper lanterns until the last moment. This has got to be one of the most gorgeous venues in England and the sun came out as Olivia crossed the lawn with her Dad, causing Mark to well up. I loved that she went for full-on glamour with lashes and deep red lips, it went well with her dramatic dress. Her close friend, Josh was the ‘bridesmaid’ and did such a stirling job, I’m thinking of hiring him for other weddings.”
Thanks to Lisa and of course the fantasticlly cool Olivia & Mark for sharing their wonderful wedding with us today

This wedding is very pretty….but what’s rock & roll about this? (If I missed the story, and they are both in a band or something, I’ll gladly retract this comment)
To me, this looks just like every other “poofy, pastel, and puke-worthy” wedding out there.
I come to this site for “kick-ass, rock & roll” wedding inspiration…..and expected more from you.

I concur, Kat!
Nothing poofy or puke worthy here. There’s a lovely vintage feel to the pictures and some beautiful details, like the red fabric back drop.
Just gorgeous. Thanks for featuring it Kat x


































































































































Hello and welcome to my little blog. My name is Kat Williams aka the Rock n Roll Bride and my aim is to provide a little haven of kick ass weddingness in a cookie cutter, pastel and often puke-worthy wedding world. If you’ve ever picked up a bridal magazine and felt queasy or trawled the internet and felt disheartened by what you didn’t find well, my friend, you are in the right place!
