Their wedding was a whimsical garden party dream come true. Merritt and Brady filled a friend's back garden with twinkly lights, disco balls, and so many flowers that it felt like stepping into a fairytale. What started as a plan to elope turned into a backyard celebration, thanks to dear friends who offered to host them. They spent four months pouring love (and a lot of labour) into making it perfect.

Mia and Jake arrived at their Illinois venue with two U-Hauls full of the bride's creations to decorate the space. From the décor to the table plan, the flowers to the stained glass ceremony structures - she made it all herself. She had spent almost two years making the wedding by hand.

Sara and Caleb's wedding vibe was centered around their love of music. They wanted it to feel like a party or a concert. "A rockstar vibe was the goal, and live music was the inspiration", the bride said. "Also a sort of dive bar vibe."

20 Alternative Wedding Dresses That Aren’t Beige or Boring

December 11, 2025

The Pantone colour of 2026 is Cloud Dancer - aka the most boring, bland shade of white imaginable. No thank you! Honestly though, we kinda enjoy being haters of something that's going to be popular - because it leaves more room for those of us who want to do something different. Alternative brides deserve dresses with actual personality, not something that looks like it’s been filtered through ten layers of minimalism. So, here are some of our favourite colourful wedding dresses that will make you feel like the electric, iconic baddie that you are.

Spruce and Sage

Katelyn and Spencer planned their wedding a $5000 budget, a state park barn location, and a strong desire to have a day which felt just the right level of spooky. The bride has been reading Rock n Roll Bride since she was 14 (!!) so as soon as they got engaged she had plenty of ideas.

Witchy Woodland Meets Soft Autumn Wedding

Cally and Abby have very different styles - Cally loves pastels and florals whereas Abby is more goth. So their wedding was all about combining their aesthetics. The result was a day that sat somewhere between a fairytale forest and Halloween. They knew their styles didn’t match in a neat, symmetrical way, but just like their relationship, it totally worked.

Getting engaged is the most exciting time. What’s less exciting is when you actually start planning the wedding and realise you might need to remortgage your house to pay for the damn thing. It’s no secret that weddings are expensive. No matter the size or style, they’re a luxury - and luxuries always come with a hefty price tag. It’s not that there are vendors lurking in the shadows waiting to rip you off. It’s just that this shit is expensive. It just is.

For Samantha and Joseph, the music came first. Blink 182, Bay Area hip hop, pop punk classics and heavy EDM shaped the atmosphere of their wedding before anyone even walked in. Every guest arrived in black and the couple wore black too. The florals carried dark tones with a hit of mint as a nod to their matching tattoos.

Chloe and Benn wanted their wedding to be colourful and feel exactly like them. The bride loves flowers so that was one of the first things she thought about. To keep things informal, they served BBQ food family style, a cheesecake instead of a wedding cake, and had a tarot reader as entertainment.

Sure Thing Chapel (and their second location, Sure Thing Too) in Las Vegas has become somewhat of a pilgrimage spot for alt couples who want a kitsch, quirky Vegas wedding. We see a lot of weddings in this space. We’ve featured weddings with rhinestones, leather, Hellvis, pink suits, black veils and every combination possible. Then Zuza and Marcin walked in and the way Tree of Life Films & Photos captured them almost shifted the room into something new. We are totally obsessed with these photos and we think you will be too.

Becky and Ran refused to hand their wedding over to anyone else’s version of “how it should be”. The bride knew she wanted to wear black, DIY as much as possible and to not spend a fortune on the things they didn't care about. Almost everything was made by them or by the people who know them best. The décor, the flowers and the stationery were all put together by the couple, and the cake was a sheet cake from Costo which cost just £15!

The Lobsters for Life Wedding Fair in The Netherlands pulled in makers, creatives and couples from across Europe last month and gave us a look at how alt weddings are evolving outside the UK. We were so excited to be invited along and spent the day meeting vendors who are pushing ideas forward with real intention. If you missed it and you are planning something unconventional on European soil, this shoot brings that same vibe straight to you! Every look, prop and detail was created by vendors from the show and most of them work with couples all over the continent.

Caoimhe and Boris wedding theme was simply ‘how can we make this day feel fun and stress-free but also somehow pull off it looking cute!?’ "I wanted the day to feel like me, and normally when I saw weddings online they never did", the bride told us. "I’m not a white roses, big white wedding kind of girl and dreaming of a big white wedding was never something I did."

We bet you've never seen a wedding quite like this one! The couple - and all their guests - dressed the part and they got married on an actual pirate ship docked near London Bridge. Tracy and Dave live on a narrowboat and decided to push their nautical life to its most playful extreme for their wedding. The Golden Age of Piracy gave them everything they needed as inspiration.

Lucy and Buzz were massively inspired by Rock n Roll Bride for their bold and unapologetically 'them' wedding. "The suits, the bike machine everything was Rock n Roll Bride in mind!" Lucy told us. "I adore your magazine and have for years!” But their wedding was ultimately for them, we just gave them permission to really go full throttle into what they already knew they wanted.

Kaley and Philip built their Tennessee wedding around the idea of something that felt Southern and gothic with Addams Family undertones. The bride had always pictured an autumn or winter celebration with deep colours, heavy foliage and romantic gothic styling. However, the date ended up being June because it marked the start of their relationship. They didn’t shift the aesthetic to match the season though - they held on to the mood that felt right for them.

Jody and Riyston climbed a lifeguard tower in Ibiza as part of their wedding photos. Not the kind of image they might have imagined years ago, but that was the point. Their elopement was designed to be unpredictable and playful, inspired by Vegas weddings and shaped entirely around them. After Ibiza, they returned to London for a second ceremony and reception with family and friends.
