It's no secret that I am obsessed with flower crowns. I don't know exactly how many I own, but it's definitely in double figures. If you're the kind of bride that doesn't want to wear a veil or tiara, why not consider one of these beauties?Read more...

With the surname 'Button', Lauren and Nick had to have some cute button details in their October wedding! The day took place in Hackney, East London, where they live. "The inspiration for our wedding was our location", wrote the bride. "We started with an idea for a traditional East End wedding, a church service followed by a ‘knees-up’ in a local boozer. Nick’s parents got married in the same church in Haggerston so that was really special. All of our other ideas started to form around this really."Read more...

In a world saturated with wedding fairs it can be hard to know which one is right for you. There are even now a whole new breed of ‘unique’ wedding shows, from alternative to vintage and everything in between, making the choice of which one to visit extra confusing! Being dubbed the bridal event for hipsters, A Most Curious Wedding Fair is hitting Norwich this Sunday and London on 7-8 March, but what exactly is a hipster wedding fair? This is just a bit of fun, of course, but here is the ten most important things you should check to make sure you're in the right place!Read more...

When TV presenter Layla Anna-Lee married Richard, they both knew they wanted to do something different. They wanted their wedding to feel like them, to be easygoing and fuss-free. They had their ceremony at Artington House and their reception was afternoon tea at home with just their closest friends and family.Read more...

Another month has come and gone and we're now heading head-first into February. January was a particularly epic month for me with the launch of the print magazine and The Blogcademy Online!! While tooting my own horn might be terribly embarrassing, I do have to say that I am so incredibly proud of how both these ventures have been received. I've worked my little bloggy butt off over the past few months on them both, and so seeing the amazing reaction from you all about them is quite amazing!Read more...

As a wedding blogger, being submitted a wedding described as a "dino glitter explosion" is a red letter day. Rob and Lucy's Derby wedding might have just leapt up to being one of my all time favourites ever! They were legally married in a registry office but had an emotional and beautiful blessing at their reception at Shardlow Village Hall.Read more...

Ali and Gem are both into the arts, so having their wedding at the groom's place of work, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre was the perfect choice! They wanted a wedding that reflected both of them and avoided tradition and trends at all costs! The groom actually sent me the most amazing email while they were planning their wedding (which I couldn't help but share!) so it really is a thrill to see how their wedding turned out!Read more...

I try not to be biased, but sometimes I just can't help but fall extra in love with a couple and their story. I've actually met Kirstin a few times (and she's a blogcadette - holla!) so when she told me she's met and married Ash within nine months (!) and that her mum and his dad were also married to each other, I couldn't wait to share their story!Read more...

Dave and Eve were married on La Cuesta Ranch in San Luis Obispo, California. Growing up in New York, Eve's dream was to have a wedding in a wide open space and completely removed from civilisation. La Cuesta Ranch gave them that and so much more!Read more...

At the last Blogcademy class of 2014 in Auckland, we were lucky enough to have Josie of Wink helping us decorated the space. I loved her creations so much that I asked her if she'd do some DIY tutorials for the blog and print magazine over the coming months. Luckily she agreed! I think this Polaroid banner idea is super adorable and would be amazing to hang at your wedding reception. Over to you Josie!Read more...

Jody always wanted a steampunk themed wedding, but their theme really came to life when they booked their venue. It came complete with a funfair! "When it came to planning our wedding there were very few surprises for anyone who knew us", Jody began. "I have never been one for anything traditional and after 12 years of catering weddings James did not want anything traditional either."Read more...

For Roxane and Pierre, a relaxed homespun wedding was perfect. Their small ceremony was held at city hall, and they hosted the reception in the bride's house. "Pierre and I met in Qatar, where we both work as airline pilots", the bride began. "Everything happened very fast and after eight months together we decided to move in together. The only problem was that you are not allowed to live together without being married in Qatar so we decided to get married!"Read more...

Do you dream about being your own boss, calling the shots, and never being told what to do? Do you want to live and work wherever you please? Are you desperate to be creative, to speak your truth, to find your tribe, to create something meaningful... and to get paid for it? I did too, and since starting Rock n Roll Bride my life has completely changed. I've won awards, been interviewed on television and radio, and been featured in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and Grazia. I've been profiled by the BBC, flown to Australia on an all-expenses paid trip, and become editor in chief of my own magazine!Read more...

If you're sad about the fact that your wedding day will be over in a flash, why not do what Mark and Alex did and have a two-day celebration?! They wanted both parts of their wedding to have their own unique personalities, so day one was a casual fancy dress festival party, and day two had a more glamorous, sparkly theme.Read more...

Jamie and Mat's intimate wedding was held by the marina in Carins, a tropical paradise in the north of Queensland. Their ceremony was right by the water, and their reception was held at Salt House restaurant. "We met while I was working at the Cairns night markets airbrushing hats", began the bride. "I noticed Mat walk into the markets and prayed he didn't come to my booth as I was covered in paint... but over he came to order some hats. I stumbled through conversation with him, discovering we were both originally from the small rural town. It was definitely lust at first sight! Two weeks later we went on our first date and we haven't spent a single night apart since! He proposed after just three months and we were married three months later!"Read more...
