I was blown away by Carla & Neetling’s South African wedding, in particular the phenomenal DIY vintagey, rustic and natural details and her beautiful dress. Carla and her Mum did most of the wedding themselves and loved personalising all the details.
The wedding took place at Kleinevalleij, Wellington SA and Carla looked stunning in her Robyn Roberts dress, Ninon Louw shoes and awesome white lace tights!
Who says your wedding has to have one theme?! What I love about Simon & Cherie’s day is while there are certainly traditional and classic elements to this wedding, it’s the funky and personal touches that make it really rock. The scooter complete with the ‘just tied the…’ sign, the bride’s purple flower in her hair and the groom’s fabulous suit and braces…and of course their beyond kick ass rings! The pair actually had other rings for their ‘real’ wedding rings but they used these for their ceremony…apparently the priest nearly had a heart attack when he saw them!
For some reason, I have been sent a lot of amazing stuff from South African photographers and couples recently… I don’t know why but it’s nice to know the South Africans are feeling the Rock n Roll love now too!
Newlywed’s Bianca & Sean got married in Cape Town (where they have now lived for 10 years) at a gorgeous restaurant called Pure at Hout Bay Manor. The wedding was based on a vintage/retrospective theme. The Bridesmaids all chose their own sleek black dresses and the boys wore skinny ties and sharp black suits. Bianca looked every bit the vintage princess in a custom made silver satin and lace wedding gown made by local couturier Cindy Bam and a vintage 1920s hat and veil.
I am desperate to share a few images of this dancing bride – such joy! This wedding took place in South Africa and more more head over to photographer Lizelle Lotter’s blog
So it turns out you all loved the top 20 huh? Well I did too and to be honest it was really blooming difficult to narrow it down to just 20…fancy seeing 20 more then? I’ve only featured weddings that are older than about 4 months (past 50 pages in – there are well over 100 pages of old posts on this site…oh yes!) because otherwise I would have been here forever. Some of these you may have seen before and some I’m sure you certainly won’t have. That is the beauty of the top 20! Again, let me know what you think…

Aww pretty pretty sparkle dress! Faith sure looks rock n roll glam on her wedding day back in April! It’s not only the dress that I love - her faux tats are super cute and the peacock feathers instead of a traditional floral bouquet are of course stunning. Her one of a kind, custom dress was designed and made by Marelize from Gingered in South Africa. The gown was based on Jenny Packham’s Papillon dress, but being in South Africa getting hold of the origianl proved too difficult so Faith decided to get her own version made. Marelize even spent over 45 hours hand sewing on all the beads on the bodice – wow…Glam rock on!
I’m pretty sure that Gwen & Joel are secretly models because no regular couple are this adorably photogenic right? I can’t really say what it is I love about these – because it’s everything!
Thanks to the wonderful Lizelle for sharing these with me

The graffiti, the black balloons, the derelict and slightly scary looking abandoned buildings – pure rock n roll gold.
Thanks to Kat for sharing!

Don’t these guys look great together!? I’m not one to make any big statement about the ‘multi-racial’ coupling of these two, because clearly it’s a non-issue, but what I do love is how picture-perfect they are as a pair – his dark skin next to hers really makes the photographs come alive and gives the images an added depth somehow. Ahh love!
Be sure to head over here to check out their South African wedding too.

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 the overly poofy, 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! ♥
