I had a brainwave while scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed last night. The Rock n Roll Bride page has always been very active. There's a great community of nearly 150,000 people on that page who subscribe to see updates about this blog. However, for me, the real draw of Facebook is not to be mindlessly bombarded with updates about the blogs or businesses we follow, it's a place to connect with our friends... to make new friends... and to share updates about our lives and loves.

The glorious wedding of Val and Jones was held at Vinyols Camps in Spain. They wanted the day to be relaxed, fun and full of details that were personal to them. Val carried a 'bouquet' of broccoli instead of flowers because she is a huge advocate for sustainability and minimalism, and they drank tea as part of their ceremony because they both love it!

Writing your own wedding vows has got to be one of the best ways to add a personal spin to your day. Forget the DIY and quirky reception décor, the ceremony is really where it's at! Before you put pen to paper, sit down somewhere quiet and answer the following questions. While there are no wrong answers, the ones that you give will be the perfect jumping off point for some really personal vows and will help you if you get stuck!

WIN Adorable Momiji Message Dolls for Your Wedding (Or Yourself!)

Momiji dolls are my new obsession. The idea is that you give them as gifts to people and add your own message of love - aww! Turn every doll upside down and tucked inside you'll find a tiny folded card where you can write your own handwritten note, dream or wish. This makes them the perfect gifts for bridesmaids don't you think!?

Kirsty met Oz when she went to work in his tattoo studio. "We're both tattoo artists and after several months of working together it became apparent that we were meant to be together", she told me. "Two years in, Oz popped the question. We spoke about our big day regularly, and we saved and saved like mad. After 12 months we decided to bite the bullet and book a date and venue. We continued to save and had some generous donations from loved ones to help us on our way."

I don't really get that excited by celebrity weddings, but when wedding photographer Woz of Howelljones Photography emailed me and told me he'd shot the secret wedding of Nicolas Cage's son on an organic farm in Somerset, I was intrigued to say the least! The whole wedding was very low key, super intimate and shrouded in secrecy to avoid the press.

Bethany and Liz met in grad school and were best friends for two years before they got together. Apparently none of their other friends were at all surprised when they started dating! They were married in November at Georgia State Railroad Museum and they wanted the day to be the "best party for adults ever!"

Pat and Veronica's Californian wedding was held at a private residence in Lake Sherwood. The bride rented her amazing Vera Wang dress from onenightaffair.com and wore it with epic Christian Louboutin boots and a homemade veil. She wanted her bridesmaids to look just as good as she did, so they wore sexy leather numbers from Alice and Olivia - there were no ill-fitting, unflattering bridesmaid dresses here!

I love London. Living just on it's doorstep means I'm there quite a lot. While it's known for being a very spendy city, there is hope for you my frugal honeymooning friends, as it also has a surprisingly high amount of free things to do. These are some of my favourites.

Rustic and Hello Kitty Themed Wedding

Baby always wanted a Hello Kitty themed wedding but her fiancé, Simon, wasn't so keen on the idea! Instead she added a few subtle touches (like her adorable bouquet) to their July wedding, while the rest of the styling suited both their tastes. "I think the idea we were going for was mainly rustic but with a few really cute touches, such as Hello Kitty, a candy buffet and animal balloons for the kids", the groom explained. "Baby wanted just a Hello Kitty theme, but I wasn't too chuffed about it, so it ended up as a mix!"

What I lack in DIY skills I certainly make up for in creative friends, so when HP got in touch asking if I'd like to partner with them to showcase their amazing new Sprout computer, I called in the reinforcements! Sophie, Ronnie and I then started brainstorming ideas for some cute greetings cards that we could create for you, although we actually spent most of the time laughing/ cringing at ourselves over all the silly puns we came up with!

Julie and Stephen met in a Bakery where Julie was working. They bonded over their mutual taste in music and video games and their dislike of cheese! "He’s the only other person I've ever met who doesn't like cheese", Julie chuckled, "that’s how we knew we were made for each other!"

Diamonds... gems... all things sparkly. I mean, what's not to love? Well, the price for one thing. Surely there must be a way to include nods to your obsession with bling without covering everything in sight in Swarovski crystals and chintz?

Have you ever seen a wedding with so many smiles?! I'm not sure it's possible, every single face in every single photo of Jessica and Melissa's wedding is beaming! The couple live in Shanghai but were married in Berlin, where Jessica is originally from.

I feature many, many weddings on this blog of mine, but every so often a wedding lands in my inbox that literally stops me in my tracks. That's exactly what Jamie and Sarah's amazing day did to me! They were married in December and so wanted a wintery Christmas theme, but without the cheese. It had to also feel like 'them', and oh boy did it!
