Rock n Roll Bride promotes individuality and general awesomeness within a cookie cutter, pastel and puke-worthy wedding world. Don’t let the wedding industry define your day – let *you* define your day.

Rock n Roll Bride is a UK wedding blog which was launched in October 2007 as a simple wedding planning site but was rebranded and re-launched in January 2009 as a ‘Mecca for gorgeous photography and inspiring real weddings’* Rock n Roll Bride is an ever growing brand with magazine features including Marie Claire Magazine, Cosmopolitan Bride, The British Journal of Photography, Easy Living, Company, Tattoo Revolution, Perfect Wedding, Wedding Ideas, Wed Magazine, Southern Weddings Magazine (US), The Guardian newspaper, The Sunday Times Style Magazine (Ireland) and The Daily Express newspaper.

Kat Williams was photographed for London Tattoos (book, due to be published September 2011) and Rock n Roll Bride was profiled in the book, ‘Working 5 – 9’ written by Emma Jones, founder of the home business website Enterprise Nation. Rock n Roll Bride was also cited as one of the top 5 wedding blogs by Elle Magazine (UK).

Founder, Kat Williams, also writes monthly articles for Photo Pro Magazine, WEDDING Magazine & Vintage Life Magazine and was invited to speak at the Unveiled Photography Conference in July 2010 hosted by The British Journal of Photography and sponsored by Hasselblad.

My aim with Rock n Roll Bride is to provide a little haven of kick ass weddingness in the 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!

Rock n Roll Bride is all about the charm and unique nature of ordinary people’s, extraordinary weddings

There is no ideal Rock n Roll Bride. What I love isn’t necessarily what floats your boat. What makes the weddings (and therefore my blog) so fab is YOU! I try to share a diverse variety of weddings, photo shoots and general gorgeousness. The only thing I ask is that each feature is a perfect representation of the couple and their individuality. Think tattooed punk brides next to eco hippy chic weddings and DIY extravaganzas placed side by side with elaborate Alice in Wonderland themed weddings and you’re half way there.

Being Rock n Roll is not about being ‘cool’, being a rebel or even thinking of the most unique idea you can, it’s about planning a wedding that reflects you and your partner and declaring your love in your way. To be featured on this site, you don’t have to be cool.  You don’t have to be ‘out-there’ or ‘offbeat’, you just have to be you.

My passion is photography. I am excited by every single photograph on this site and am honoured that each photographer is proud to have their work adorning the walls of Rock n Roll Bride.*

So kick off your New Rocks, settle down with a cupcake and enjoy the ride.
