Oh how I've been dying to see this movie. Who doesn't love a good wedding chick flick? I was super jealous last month when I read that all my favourite US bloggers were getting to see the film before the rest of the world but now it's our turn! The movie isn't released in the UK until June 22nd but Universal Pictures and the incredible Charley from London Bride have arranged an exclusive (and I mean exclusive - the cinema only hold 45 people) preview showing of the film on Wednesday 15th June. There will even be free drinks and canapés. I'm SOLD! I'll be heading down to Soho Hotel, London with a bunch of other wedding obsessives, giant bowl of sweet popcorn in tow.Read more...

Everyone deserves to have fabulous wedding photography. Fact. After the wedding day is done, it's the one thing that's there for the rest of your lives, to remind you of your special day. However not everyone can afford a professional which is why I am seriously excited that Australian photographer Xanthe Roxburgh would like to offer one lucky Rock n Roll Bride reader Free Wedding Photography and a free engagement or day after shoot! And the best bit? Even though Xanthe is based Down Under, she is willing to travel world wide to shoot the winning wedding! All we just ask is that transportation and lodging costs are covered if it’s 100km outside of Newcastle, Australia.Read more...

I have adored Twinkie Chan from afar for a long time. Her "Eat your cake... and wear it too!" motto kind of speaks to my sweet tooth-loving self you see! Her colourful and super kawaii blog has brought daily rays of sunshine into my life for quite a while now ad I'm pretty much jumping over rainbows with the excitement of sharing our little collaboration with you all today! For those of you not familiar with Twinkie Chan, she is a crocheting marvel from San Francisco who has risen to fame with her cute and food inspired creations. She has made everything from scarf's, hair accessories and other wearable goodies from wool and her designs literally fly off the shelves as soon as she posts them to her etsy store. In short, she makes crocheting cool again! She's even released a tutorial book of some of her adorable creations, which got me thinking...Read more...
