Hi Kat,
I’ve been poring over your wedding blog for 6 months gathering lots of gorgeous ideas for my wedding next year. But before that I’ve got my new sister-in-law’s very traditional wedding to attend as a guest in April <not THAT wedding btw!> I’ve been trawlling the internet for weeks trying to find the perfect outfit/accessories which will mark me out as a bona fide Rock n Roll Bride-to-be, without upstaging the bride – well, not too much anyway!
I would love it if you were able to work your Rock n Roll magic and help me find some inspiration.
Thank you!!!
Keren

I do adore a good fashion-related post and who could be more perfect to help out with this dilemma than blogger and stylist Charley of London Bride? This girl is my ultimate go-to-gal for internet pretties everywhere. You need it, she can find it! (and she often finds things perfect for me that I don’t need…crystal encrusted skull anyone? Seriously I’m now obsessed with it. I need it in my life!)
Keren, I hope you love Charley’s style ideas as much as I do, and you find something rockin’ to wear to your sister’s wedding!
Pretty Pastels
You can never go wrong with a feminine and vintage style look for a traditional wedding. This pretty pastel butterfly dress is girly but not too over the top and the accessories just hint at a bit more colour. The pop of blue feathers in the fascinator will make sure you stand out!
Butterfly Dress: Topshop – £50
Coral Shoes: Kurt Geiger – £80
Feather Headband: Rock n Rose – £24
Blue Handbag: Topshop – £33
Urban Glam
This look is a great option if you don’t want to play it safe, and you can be sure to be the only one in leopard print at a wedding. Red accessories like this cute giant bow for the hair and bright red lipstick are a must to add a touch of chic and the antique gold key on a chain helps to break the pattern up. You may want to add a pair of black opaque tights if it’s a cold day!
Leopard Print Dress: Zara – £70
Elizabeth Arden Limited Edition Lipstick: Asos – £18
Giant Hair Bow: Lou Lou Loves You – £20
Antique Gold Key Pendant: Rock n Rose – £21
Floral Brights
This bold dress is the perfect spring time solution and you’ll definitely be able to dress it up or down after the wedding. Add a more unique touch by placing the corsage headband at the front of your head as opposed to on top and those green shoes will add a spring to your step!
Floral Dress: Orion London – £62
Essie Mesmerize Nail Polish: John & Ginger – £8.95
Emerald Truffle Court Shoe: Office – £30 (on sale)
Flower Headband: Dorothy Perkins – £6.50
Modern Monochrome
If it’s a traditional wedding then you may want to go a little more formal and monochrome is fool proof. A prom dress and sparkly accessories stop it from being too plain and the shrug can be worn during the day as a cover up for church if you feel a bit bare. The love tights are a cute touch and will bound to be a talking point!
Sequin Shrug: French Connection – £41 (on sale)
Black Ruffle Prom Dress: Karen Millen – £54.95 (on sale)
Bow Embellished Bib Necklace: Tallulah Tu – £12
Signature Love Seam Tights: Pamela Mann – £7.99
Star Clutch Bag: Accessorize – £35

I had a guest ask me if it was alright for her to wear a black dress. Of course I said! It was a Vivienne Westwood black dress and she rocked it.
I love the animal print too! Very tempting!

My mother in law to be is wearing leopard print to my wedding!! Leopard print is definitely allowed at weddings!!
Definitely buying those tights for my brother in laws wedding this year!!

Wow I would buy all of these if I could, so pretty!

I am not usually a lover of asymetrical sleeves but i absolutely love that Topshop butterfly dress. No weddings to go to this year but a few parties coming up in the summer it would be perfact for!
I love each of these, wish I had a Rock n’ Roll wedding to go to!!

I love all of these! Makes me want to spend the day internet shopping so I can scarf up every last piece! Great post! Kat, you should definitely keep these coming!
Love all these quirky outfits! I’m so sick of playing it safe with knee length satin dresses – you’ve inspired me add a bit of ‘rock ‘n roll’ to the outfit I choose for my mates wedding in June. Thanks 🙂 x
Modern Monochrome if you want a blokes point of view, you coudnt help but stand out in that
GREAT POST!
My fave – Pretty Pastels- Love how you have set off the vibrant blue feathers against those gorgeous shoes.

Super Kat to the rescue! Thank you! Now I have to try and choose which of Charley’s fab ideas to go with – can I only wear one???
