I've spent the past seven days in New York and I've been having the best time! After teaching over the weekend, Shauna had to head to Palm Springs for a design retreat, so Gala and I have been exploring the city as a terrible twosome all week. It's been pretty rad although we've missed our third!Read more...

As an ex goth, I can’t help being attracted to dark art in general", began Lauren of French Made, who provided the cakes for this shoot. "Plus my recent obsession with the series called ‘Vikings’ and their Pagan way of life gave me inspiration. I was lucky enough to find a fabulous team of wedding suppliers as ready as I am to push the boundaries and willing to get involved and create the most eye pleasing alternative bridal styled shoot."Read more...

When wedding photographer Matt Miller emailed me to tell me he'd shot the wedding of Winston McCall, lead singer of Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive, and asking if I'd like to feature it, I nearly fell off my chair. "Er... stupid question!" I replied, "OF COURSE!" He married his high school sweetheart, Jessica, in beautiful Byron Bay on May 11th this year.Read more...

Wanting to share beautiful photographs of gorgeous tattooed brides was one of my main objectives for starting Rock n Roll Bride. It might not seem like that long ago, but when I first registered this domain in 2007, there was literally no media representation for brides that were inked and proud.Read more...

With a budget of just £4000, Ryan and Connie planned a beautiful 1950s inspired wedding. The bride wore a dress made especially for her by Honeypie Boutique, shoes from Next and fun Tatty Divine jewellery. The bridesmaids' vintage inspired dresses were by Vivien of Holloway. "We love colours, patterns and prints so we wanted the wedding to reflect that", said Connie. "All the bridesmaids chose their own coloured dress and I had a bright pink ice cream bag!! We wanted to use local suppliers as far as possible and keep costs low by making things ourselves. We also wanted the day to be colourful and bold but also relaxed."Read more...

This update comes to you from one of my favourite places in the whole wide world, New York City! I'm currently sat in Gala's beautiful apartment, sipping PG Tips and watching Dolly snoozing on my bed. Hank got in with me last night (he was SO FUNNY, trying to be all cute and sneaky, although when you're a 60lb pitbull there's nothing sneaky about you!) but when I woke up this morning, Dolly was spooning me. Oh puppies.Read more...

I've never been much of an expensive jewellery type. It's not that I don't love it, I just can't afford to splash out, as much as I might want to! If you too have been drooling over all the pretties in the window of your local jewellery store from afar, then covet no longer. Today I've teamed up with Links of London to give one lucky reader four stunning pieces of jewellery worth over £500!Read more...

I got an email last week from a reader who wanted advice on how to get started in the wedding industry. "For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be part of the wedding biz", she wrote, "But where do I begin? I am pretty crafty and I just love all aspects of weddings. I must spend most of my waking hours sifting through your website, Etsy and Pinterest. I've saved thousands of pictures of bouquets, décor of every theme, you name it. I want so desperately to be a part of it, I just don't know where to start."Read more...

Ahh the circus! So colourful, so fun, such a perfect theme for an alternative wedding! Tamara and Chip's Florida wedding was a true DIY labour of love. They did almost everything themselves.

Our whimsical circus theme fit perfectly with how we wanted our wedding day to feel."Read more...
