Jade and Nick's wedding was a riot of gorgeous colour and elements that really reflected them as a couple, at the ultra-cool Houdini Estate in Los Angeles - yup, that's the old estate belonging to Harry Houdini himself! Jade is a big fan of bright colours, and Nick is a robotics engineer, so when planning the wedding, they thought they'd combine the more whimsical county fair vibe with the more ye olde worlde futuristic side, and came up with a vintage world's fair look, which worked PERFECTLY.

One of the thing I'm most proud of with Rock n Roll Bride is our position to encourage brides to do whatever they want for their wedding. We're not in the habit of passing judgement on who you marry, how you marry, and definitely not on how you spend your money. Want to drop £3000 on an incredible designer gown? Do it! Prefer to get something handmade by an independent British designer to your exact specifications? You go girl! Or maybe you're the kind of babe who wants to run out to the high street and grab the first dress that takes your fancy? This is your wedding and you do it your way!

My best babe Sophie sure is clever. Crown & Glory have been synonymous with flower crowns for as long as I can remember (and they're the only flower crowns worthy of wearing IMHO) but for spring/summer 2018 they're offering a brand new floral bevvy to get excited about - faux floral bouquets! And the tagline, bouquets you won’t want to toss, could not be more perfect!

April 3, 2018

Daniela and Thomas's wedding day was a mixture of Rock n Roll, psychobilly and Dia De Los Muertos, which the bride describes as a "Happy, loud and without any conventions" kind of day. They had 'first look' photos taken and also stopped in at an Oreo pop-up store on their way to the ceremony, which was held in an old circus tent! Their reception party was in a rockabilly club in the middle of Berlin where they had a live band playing so it was like a gig - they first met at a psychobilly concert in the bride's hometown of Munich, so this was a lovely nod to that.

I have spent most of my adult life inside other people’s weddings. For over eighteen years couples have trusted me with the most personal day of their lives. They’ve DMed me the questions they don’t dare ask anyone else. Sent photos before anyone else saw them. Asked if I’d be willing to share their story on my website, my social media and my magazine. When I stop and think about it, it’s kind of mind blowing. I’ve watched thousands of people step into this moment where their private relationship briefly becomes something pretty public.

Your wedding bouquet has been carried down the aisle, passed between lots of diffident people, photographed from every possible angle and possibly abandoned beside the dance floor while you went feral to MCR. there are some beautiful ways to preserve them though, you just have to make the arrangements before the wedding because cut flowers start deteriorating fast. Do not leave the decision and research until after the wedding or you'll have much fewer options. if any at all.

Wedding contracts are easy to skim when you are keen to secure your date, but the details are very important. Never sign anything or pay a deposit until you've read and understood everything properly! A wedding supplier's contract should cove what they will provide, what you are expected to pay (and when) and what happens if either side cannot fulfil the booking. Here is what to look for:

Leah repeatedly referred to her wedding as a “fake wedding” because she and Mark skipped so many of the expected traditions that, apart from the legally binding bit, their day had very little interest in seeming like one. There was no aisle, personalised vows or first dance. There were six ceremony guests, several handmade outfits, competitive bingo and a table of temporary tattoos. It also happened to be on Leah’s 30th birthday! “I love my birthday but don’t love the idea of being centre of attention so thought what a good way to have a party, combine the two!" she said. "I got to spend the day with all my favourite people!”

We we didn't want anyone to know about it from day one so we had a lot of secret dates."

Getting married is such a crazy, whirlwind of a time - engagement celebrations, planning the biggest party of your life, dealing with family politics.. you know the score! There is so much happening all at once but then suddenly, almost as quickly as it all started, it's over. You're married and onto the next chapter of your lives. Many couples say the wedding day itself goes by in a flash, but that run-up period does too.

Wedding themed photo shoots and editorials often follow a very particular formula, but when wedding planner Catalina Rojo of Celebrations by Catalina set out to organise one, she knew she'd be taking a very different route. Rather than focusing on a couple, or a single bride model, she called in help from a diverse collection of models and suppliers who she knew would help her celebrate inclusivity, creativity, and some really bold design ideas.
