Crystal and Evan's October wedding took place in Seattle. They had an origami theme and they made it all themselves! "When we lived in our first apartment together in Napa, we hung paper boxes onto Christmas lights that we wanted to leave up for the rest of the year", the bride began. "We had been making these origami boxes since we were kids, and wanted to represent the meaning of them in our wedding with many things made of paper."

Are Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks Worth the Hype?

April 29, 2016

I'm really into watching beauty reviews on YouTube right now. I know, I'm about 5 years late to the party and probably about 10 years older than their average viewer but it's SO FASCINATING. I did actually momentarily consider filming this post rather than writing it, but then I decided to stick with what I know because being on camera is the cringiest thing ever (I just joined Snapchat and I'm trying to get better at it though, My username is kat_rocknroll if you want to follow me!)

Those eagle eyed amongst you might recognise the bride in this wedding, Kirsty was one of our models for my veil collab with Crown and Glory! When I met her, saw her amazing Disney sleeve tattoo and heard all about their Disney themed wedding, I was SO EXCITED. Now the time has finally come for me feature it and I'm pretty sure you're all going to flip out over it too. The best part is they pulled the wedding off with a budget of just £2,500!

For most people, only one thing springs to mind when they hear the name 'Hiroshima'. As the first ever city in to suffer a nuclear attack, it has a sad history for sure, but today's Hiroshima is far from a depressing place.

The One Thing You’re Leaving Out of Your Wedding That You’ll Regret Afterwards

If I've said it once, I've said it a billion times - investing in your wedding photography is SO important. However in all the discussions we've had on this topic, there's one thing that's often forgotten (and I'll admit, even by me sometimes) and that is the wedding video. I understand why so many couples decide to not have one. Whether its budget constraints, memories of cheesy 90s VHS tapes, thinking you'll probably never watch it afterwards, or not liking how you look or sound on film. So I decided to open the discussion on the topic in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group. Here's just a very small sampling of what they had to say.

Harry Potter Wedding at Hogwarts

OK, so Lewis and Cassie's wedding wasn't actually held at Hogwarts, but there ceremony venue, Manchester Town Hall, does have a striking resemblance! "Two words describe our wedding entirely: Harry Potter!" said the bride. "We got engaged at the Diagon Alley section at Universal Studios Florida and have always loved the Harry Potter films and books. It made sense to us to have a Harry Potter themed wedding and to take pretty much all of the inspiration for our day from the films. We wanted it to look quirky and classy but not like an 8-year-old’s birthday party which can sometimes be a challenge when you have a theme, especially something like Harry Potter!"

Helen and Rich are hooked on the TV series, Peaky Blinders, so when they came to plan their Manchester wedding, they based it on their favourite show. "It was only natural that we decided to join the Brummy gang for our wedding day", Helen explained. "Also, Rich's father grew up not that far from the real Peaky Blinders gang, he has Irish heritage, and I have always been obsessed by the 1920s. It just made sense."

"I have always had an affinity to the Red Sea and it was natural that I get married on its shores", the bride began. "I always imagined my wedding day would be bare feet, undone braided hair and dancing in the sand surrounded by friends and family."
