The Richters
October 28, 2020
The shoot, put together as a collab between Berlin photographers The Richters and bridal designer Anne Wolf is giving us all the retro vibes. Shot entirely using analogue cameras, 35mm and medium format, they stayed away from anything classic or cliché, and were instead inspired by 70s fashion editorials and Berlin itself.Read more...

The Madonna Inn, located in San Luis Obispo, California, might just be our dream wedding venue. Perfectly pink, kitsch and retro, it was also the ideal location for Chelsea and Tim's whimsical wedding too. They were married in July 2019.Read more...

Living and working in London but both originally from up north, Fiona and Jack, who met when they both auditioned for the same band at uni (the band is still going and they have been making and releasing music together for their entire relationship!) planned a retro inspired wedding in Whitby. It's a place they have spent a lot of time in with family over the years so it was a very sentimental place for them to tie the knot. The autumn day started with a ceremony at Whitby registry office before a walk down to the seafront to play on to 2p arcade games and have their photos taken. The reception was then held at a recently reopened old church centre which they decorated and made their own.Read more...

When planning their August wedding, Hannah and Anthony decided they wanted to play up to the Great British summertime as well as their love of retro flair. The bride's step-mother made bunting, they printed seaside photographs of family members to decorate the venue and their cake was made to look like a sandcastle - complete with two crabs as a cake topper! On the tables they placed photographs of their dog, Wally, with seaside themed props. Even their rings were on theme - they were wooden rings by Hoot Cornwall, made using sand from Thorpeness beach.Read more...

Gemma and Jon chose St Pancras Station as their unusual wedding location and were married at the exact spot where they first met for their first date! They were married on the concourse with the trains behind them, and had their reception at Searcys Champagne Bar. They were inspired by the art deco vibes of the location, but also their love of Bowie through their choice of music, and the bride's accessories (Bowie is also their son's name!)Read more...

I bet those are things you never thought you'd see in a wedding feature together... but here at Rock n Roll Bride we embrace the unique and somewhat oddball wedding themes wholeheartedly! All these things - rockabilly, feminism, the bride's Jewish faith and, of course, llamas (!) mean a lot to Lara and Shaun so of course they had to bring them all into their big dayRead more...

Talia and David were hitched in Switzerland in September. They chose an unconventional venue, owned by a friend's father, and styled the day around that. The day also had a very slight pin up touches, mostly in the way the bride dressed and styled her own hair and make up.Read more...

If you've picked up a copy of my book, then you may recognise Dafna and Eylon as their Las Vegas elopement is one of the real weddings featured inside. I LOVED those images and their story so much! Although they always wanted to get married in Vegas, they also wanted to celebrate with their loved ones back home in Tel Aviv, so it was the perfect excuse to have for a second wedding. The day was held at Bascula, a cultural arts centre that is home to a circus.Read more...

Nick and Inés' didn't really have inspiration for how they wanted their wedding day to look and feel: "To be honest," said Inés, "we just threw together a bunch of stuff that we loved and hoped for the best!" They ended up with a day filled with childhood nostalgia - from the retro toy decorations collected from scouring eBay, charity shops and their parents attics, to the childhood photos of themselves that adorned every table at their reception.Read more...

When a bride describes the inspiration for the wedding as "a fun episode of Poirot with lots of tiny animals", you KNOW it's going to be an alternative wedding, and an amazing day! Frankie and Chris (or Jaffa as most people call him) got married on 5th October 2018 at The Brooklands Museum in Surrey. It was the home of an old Motorsports racetrack but is now a museum for vintage vehicles - cars, planes and buses.Read more...

Robyn and Ash were legally married in Vegas at the Chapel of the Flowers but they wanted to host a big party when they got back to Yorkshire for all their family and friends. The party had a really low key, retro and kitsch vibe, hosted at their local community centre. The flowers came from a local flower market, the cakes were from various supermarkets and the stationery was made by the bride. Instead of a fancy meal they served wood-fired pizza and the night ended with - who else? - an Elvis impersonator!Read more...
