Greetings from Vancouver! Although this trip has been reasonably laid back in comparison to some (we've actually had a couple of day's off which has been a rare treat!) we've still managed to really pack it in.Read more...

If there's one thing I love it's COLOUR - and lots of it - so when photographer Rebecca Douglas sent over this wedding inspiration shoot, I couldn't really turn down the opportunity to feature it. Styled by Jenny Sinclair of Bellaboo and Beau, this shoot was inspired by a neon colour palette and the tropics.pRead more...

Washington DC based wedding photographer Rachel Couch of A-Muse Photography loves nothing more than working with couples on their wedding day. "I also do a fair amount of fashion and lifestyle work", she writes, "and I really value my ability to shoot within several different genres since I think it makes me look at everything with fresh eyes. 'Magical realism' is the name of the game -- I try to create photographs that are both epic and cinematic, but also honest and intimate."Read more...

A bar brawl at a wedding isn't usually something I'd encourage, but that's exactly how Sarah started to tell me about her Irish pub wedding! The event took place in The Fly’s Tie Pub in Atlantic Beach, Florida.Read more...

This morning I hosted an hour long Q&A livestream with my Blogcademy babes from our Vancouver apartment. We recorded the whole thing, so if you want to re-watch it in your own time, or you weren't able to tune in live, you can right now!Read more...
Death to the Stock Photo

We've all seen them, those business coaches promising that they can make you rich. Swearing that for the measly sum of (insert number with way too many zeros on the end here) they can turn your business around by showing you their top secret techniques that will make your pockets bulge with excess cash. They brag about their seven figure incomes, their thousands of happy clients, their giant mansions and the exotic vacations they take at every opportunity. Don't be fooled my friends.Read more...

The majority of the weddings I blog make me wish I was a whole lot cooler, and Lizzie and James' Shoreditch shindig is no different. These guys did things their own way - and then some! They got hitched at Museum of The Order of St John and had a rockin' yet intimate party at Bistrotheque afterwards. To keep costs down, they kept their guest list small.Read more...
Fall For DIY
June 9, 2014
I am a DIY clutz. I'm the kind of girl who would glue her fingers together and get more glitter in my hair than on the thing I was trying to bling (which, actually, might not be a bad thing...) So when Fran of Fall for DIY got in touch, asking if she could create this DIY post for Rock n Roll Bride, I gleefully accepted. I hope you enjoy this one, it's a beauty!Read more...

I was convinced this wedding was a styled shoot with models. Convinced. These kinds of beautiful people don't exist in real life do they?! Well, apparently they do, and I've got the photographs to prove it. Stand by for some serious wedding envy my friends - That light! That dress! Those model-esque bridesmaids!Read more...

You'd be surprised at how many emails I get from boys about to pop the question, always asking me the same thing: where can they find an alternative engagement ring? I always reply with the same thing too - ETSY!Read more...

If I'm being 100% truthful, I've been a little bit over styled wedding shoots for a while now. Some of you might have noticed that I share less and less of them on my site these days. In the most part it's actually because I simply have too many awesome weddings I want to share instead (yay!) but in others its because there really are a lot of boring shoots being produced. Harsh but true!Read more...

For their spring wedding, Claire and Simon wanted a laid back, beach wedding. They didn't want any stress or anything too fussy, so they kept their guest list small and chose things that made them happy!Read more...

June 6, 2014
A few weeks ago I took to my Facebook page to ask if any of you had any wedding planning woes that I could help you with. To say I was inundated might be the understatement of the century! As I waded through the comments there was a common thread that kept popping up again and again: dealing with difficult family situations. This is just a very small sample of the hundreds I received.Read more...

Greetings from Heathrow airport! Terminal 3 does feel like it's become a home away from home for me recently. I actually quite like being here, especially as I have my airport routine down. I know which security line is likely to be the quickest (always wait with the single people with briefcases, even if the queue is slightly longer - never get stuck behind a family!) where to get the best deal on currency and who does the most delicious breakfasts (it's Rhubarb by the way...)Read more...

When I was in San Francisco last month, one of the most delicious meals we had was at Foreign Cinema. A super cool restaurant and bar in an old cinema building (pro tip: get the truffle popcorn - so good!), they also play silent foreign film during dinner. The vibe is laid back but super cool. Unsurprisingly, it also makes an awesome wedding venue, and I am super excited to share Stephanie and Jim's big day with you today! But before we crack on, can we all please stop for one minute and bask in the beauty that is Stephanie's Monique Lhuillier dress? I mean, goodness!Read more...

I'm not a big dancer (well, in public) but one thing I am a super fan of is some seriously good music to get a party started. While having dancing at your wedding may or may not be top at the list of your priorities, having some damn fine entertainment certainly should be.Read more...

Demelza and Andy were married in Stoke Newington Town Hall followed by a reception at The Mildmay Club in Newington Green. Their wedding was inspired by the kitchen sink dramas of the 60s.Read more...

When you’re a teenager, peer pressure sucks. That constant squeeze from your peers to act the same, think the same, be the same as them. It forces you to fit in, to conform, to not be your own weird 'n wonderful self. As an impressionable, confidence-lacking 14 year old, peer pressure can define you. It can make you take up smoking (yep), start drinking (er... yep), sneak out of class and lie to your parents (yep, er... yep!) I think we can all look back on those times and realise that peer pressure was actually a form of bullying, dressed up with a more socially acceptable name. And bullying sucks. Period.Read more...

A little known fact about me is that I was a huge nerd at school. I think people assume that I must have been one of the rebellious ones, hanging out behind bike sheds and bunking off classes, but actually, I was super well behaved. It wasn't until I hit 15, discovered rock music and boys that didn't resemble pre-pubescent gremlins, that I became a bit more of a wild child!Read more...
