How To Make Your Wedding Make Up Last All Day

May 20, 2015

There's been a lot of chatter in the private Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group about wedding day make up, specifically from DIY brides asking about what products to use. So I thought a little update on some of my hero cosmetics items would be a fun way to while away a Wednesday afternoon. If you want to do your own make up for your wedding but still have it last all day (and night!) long, here's my advice and current favourites.

May 20, 2015

I have something a little different for you this morning. I fell in love with this styled wedding shoot for one main reason - the use of colour! I am obsessed with how everything matches so perfectly in each image, even going so far as to match the models' hair and make up! Isn't the result so great?

May 18, 2015

There are very few bridal designers that get me really, genuinely enthusiastic about their new collections. In fact I can probably count the ones that do on one hand. However when I met with Free People a few weeks ago and they told me they were dipping their toes into the water of bridal wear I was excited. Very, VERY excited.

May 14, 2015

Goodness, I can't believe we have less than a month to go until the next Blogcademy workshop! This time we're hitting up London, which are always secretly my favourite classes. Not only because it's my home turf and we hold them in the most beautiful space ever, but because the European babes always totally BRING IT with their energy and enthusiasm! We currently have less than five tickets remaining for this class, and after this we won't be back in the UK until at least this time next year, so if you've been umming and ahhing, go on, take the plunge! I promise you won't regret it!

Messy Countryside Playground Wedding

Nick Tucker

May 13, 2015

It's an undeniable cliché that I love all things surrounding weddings: the love, the family, the pretty dresses, the flowers... but I also love to hear the real stories behind these magical looking days. It's all very well and good sharing the perfectly edited highlights online, but what really went down? Were there injuries? Was one supplier an utter nightmare? Did someone jump on a bouncy castle and end up with a bloody nose? Well, actually, now you come to mention it...

People always say that it's "your day", and while they are right I always think the best weddings are ones that really take care of the guests too.

Here are eight relatively simple things you might consider doing. After all, happy guests will make the day even more magical!

Last year, my beautiful friend Jo lost her battle with depression. I miss her so much and not a day goes past when I don't think about her. Once the dust settled after her death, her boyfriend Chris and I had long chats about him doing an art project in her memory, with all the proceeds going to charity. On Thursday, Jo's birthday, he launched The Salvage Project.

For everyone that wants the big, family wedding there are those that can think of nothing worse. They crave something small, intimate and just for the two of them. That's exactly what Erin and Ryan wanted their wedding to be like. They said their vows in front of an old abandoned church with Ryan's best friend Travis officiating the ceremony.
