One of the questions I hate the most, but I'm inevitably always asked whenever I'm interviewed, is "What are the big wedding trends for this season?" It seems to be the thing everyone wants to know about, but for me, it's the one aspect of wedding planning that I'm least concerned about. In fact the whole notion of it kinda bothers me.Read more...

Adam and Meghan wanted to find a suitably Rock n Roll venue for their alternative wedding in Pheonix. After a long search they eventually came across The Duce which ticked all their boxes! "We wanted the wedding to let us shine through", began the bride. "We didn't want a particular theme. When we were looking at wedding venues, we wanted something that was already us. In Phoenix, there are tons of country clubs and botanical gardens. But none of that really fit who Adam and I are. It was to the point that it was bumming us out that we weren't able to find something in our budget that fit us. We had heard about The Duce through a friend, so we went to check it out."Read more...

When Jessica tagged me on Instagram in a photo of her rocking her Liberace kitty ears on her wedding day, I genuinely couldn't wait to see the rest... and when she then told me the wedding had a subtle cat theme I was even more excited!Read more...

I don't think there's a style of wedding that epitomises a Rock n Roll wedding more than a black, white and red colour scheme and a 1950s theme! Lidia and Joaquín's nuptials were held in La Quinta de Illescas, Toledo, Spain.Read more...

Rachael and Rob wanted to get away from the city for their wedding. So they rented a camp ground, just outside of Philadelphia where they could say "I do" and stay all weekend with their friends and family.Read more...

Who says gritty and urban can't also be pretty and colourful?! Not this girl! Which is why I completely love this rainbow-hued shoot sent over by LeeYen of Loblee Photography. Shot in Salt Lake City, these dreamy images have really brightened my morning!Read more...

This week started with an Easter egg hunt around my parent's back garden. Yes, my sisters and I might be 26, 28 and 30 respectively, but that didn't stop us - it all got very competitive! I also did a super fun shoot for Claire's on Tuesday at my house, the results of which I'll be sharing really soon. AND tomorrow I'm heading over to The Big Smoke to shoot up a storm with my buddy Chris Barber. It's all go go go in Rock n Roll Bride land!Read more...

Renee and Micky met while backpacking around Australia. They love the beach and so wanted their wedding to reflect that, but alongside the punk rock edge that defines them both. I don't know about you but looking at these glorious pictures from Curly Tree Photography makes me really long for Summer!Read more...

I've heard way too many stories from people who've had to postpone or even cancel getting married simply because they couldn't afford it. That makes me so very sad. Of course the amount you spend has less than zero indication on how awesome your marriage will be, but if you have little or no savings, even a completely budget wedding can be out of the question.Read more...

Last Thursday I heard the sad news that the shopping channel I used to work for went into administration. Everyone was called up that morning and told not to come into work. They all lost their jobs with immediate effect. Although from the outside looking in it wasn't a massive surprise (there'd be whisperings of it 'being near the end' for years, even before I left in 2011) I was genuinely gutted. Gutted for all my friends who now found themselves unemployed, but also really sad that the place that gave me my first 'proper' job was no more.Read more...

Alisha and Marc were married in Austin, Texas at The Palm Door, a super cool events space in the city. Their day had a whimsical and natural feel, which reflected the two of them perfectly. The reception was also littered with homemade vintage-inspired touches and lots of pops of colour.Read more...

Stephanie and Rob's wedding was nearly all handmade. They wanted it to have a laid back and unfussy feel but for it to be a little bit fancy. One of the biggest projects for the wedding was Stephanie's dress, which she knitted herself! "I designed and hand knit my dress from linen and cashmere yarn", she explained. "I used some turn of the 20th century gowns for inspiration, particularly for the shape of the skirt, and combined a variety of related lace patterns. I was really, really happy with how it turned out, but I think the mirroring of the pattern on the waistband is my favorite part."Read more...

Harry and Vanessa's barn wedding took place in September. The day was relaxed, fun and geeky, they also had a cheerful blue and yellow colour scheme. "We gave up on picking or really sticking to a particular theme", wrote the bride, "instead we just used anything we liked – it was much easier that way, and felt a lot more personal!"Read more...

Ames and Tel met when they were twelve, at school. Needless to say it wasn't love at first sight! However eleven years later they virtually bumped into each other on MySpace and saw each other on a few nights out. Shortly after that they started dating. "We didn't set out with a theme in mind for our wedding, we just knew we wanted a laid back relaxed do with close friends and family", Ames explained. "We didn't have much money to spend (our budget was £3000) so we wanted to do as much ourselves as we could. I think in the end we had a laid back, homemade vintage feel to the day."Read more...

Aimee and Adam couldn't have the wedding they originally planned, but not wanting to wait to get married they decided to keep things small and as simple as possible. It was just the two them and only really close family and friends in attendance at their Oklahoma Supreme Court ceremony.Read more...

When people asked you what you wanted to do when you grew up, I'd imagine that not a lot of you said "work in an office", or "stack shelves in retail..." If you were anything like me, you didn't quite know where you would end up, but you knew it was going to be anything but a boring career. Ballerina, artist, journalist and film critic were all on my list at one point or another... What about you?Read more...

With a surname like Wildblood, Dean and Jen's wedding was never going to be boring. In fact they wanted their wedding to be just like them - quirky, stylish, fun and with a hint of vintage. Jen wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding dress and jewellery, and Dean looked dashing in his Reiss suit, Thomas Pink tie and Kurt Geiger shoes.Read more...

I don't know if it's because Spring is finally in the air or because Gareth took it upon himself to do all my dirty washing this week, thus highlighting how completely impossible it is for me to fit all the clothes I own in my wardrobe at the same time... But yesterday I went through all my cupboards and had a good old clear out.Read more...
Made U Look
April 17, 2014
I've been bleaching my hair on and off since I was 16. I started doing it myself at home, and then progressed to getting it done at a salon every six to eight weeks. Not really knowing any better I was going to a well known chain (one that rhymes with 'phoney and pie'... ahem) for around three years, and unwittingly allowing them to ravage my fuchsia tresses more and more with each visit!Read more...
