Chuck and Dan gave their guests the dress code “Out Dress the Grooms.” Around 160 friends and family were invited to Caveau in Boston for five hours of cocktails, food and dancing. The grooms wore burgundy velvet tuxedo jackets from Hive and Colony and everyone else had permission to go all out. “We told everyone to try and out dress us and people absolutely understood the assignment,” Chuck and Dan explained. “Seeing 150-plus people walk into the venue really dressed for a night out immediately created the atmosphere we wanted."

Chloe and Zeek spent their tenth anniversary getting married in black beside a waterfall, with a tequila ritual as part of the ceremony. The date was Friday 13th, so for two self-described “goth babies” who had loved each other since they were teenagers, the day also deserved a little horror influence.

November 1, 2026

What would your wedding look like if you’d never seen a wedding before? That’s the question we’re asking in the latest issue of Rock n Roll Bride magazine. Weddings are awesome, but even the ones described as ‘different’ often follow a familiar formula. Get ready separately. Ceremony. Confetti. Dinner. Cake. Dancing. But what if you didn’t just rip up the rule book, you never even saw it in the first place?

On South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal coast, a real couple stood together in the Red Desert (aka the "world's smallest desert") and told each other how they felt. An old wedding dress had been reworked especially for the occasion, the bride wore a hat veil and their vows were kept secret until the moment they were read aloud. While the setting and outfits had been planned by a team of wedding suppliers, the words they read came from their own relationship.

At Barcelona Bridal Week earlier this year, there was one collection stopped us in our tracks.

Made up of 25 couture looks, the collection celebrates the craftsmanship of WONÁ Atelier through sculptural silhouettes, intricate corsetry, fluid draping and dramatic trains. They even unveiled three new striking black designs, adding a darker edge we always love, without losing any of the couture elegance.

Aurora and Thompson were married in Gainesville, Florida. Their day had a unique theme, Kermit and Miss Piggy leading the ceremony, and a guest list that stayed deliberately small. 35 guests attended and everyone stayed at the same bed and breakfast, owned by the bride’s aunt and uncle. Aurora described their theme as medieval tropical to anyone who asked, and guests dressed to match. Her gown was made by her mum and she bedazzled her own boots. All of the décor and flowers were DIY.

Rosie and Tyler met through Hinge. Four months later they got engaged and just ten months after they first started talking, they were married. "It was a whirlwind romance", Rosie told us. "We knew instantly we were best friends and soulmates - people told us we were being crazy but we didn’t care! We knew what we knew. We heal the broken parts of each other and and lift up the beautiful mess. It was young love found in a generational hellscape of toxic dating culture."

That friend was Haether. They recognised each other immediately.

OOOF I know, what a title, but we actually do still need to talk about this. Recently, I was styling a shoot with a UK size 26 model. Absolutely 10/10 stunner of a babe. The shoot was incredible (quick phone snap preview above!!) and you’ll see the rest of the photos in the magazine soon. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, it was so hard to find designers who actually had size 26 samples available to loan or try on.
