Yep, that's exactly what I thought when I saw this shoot - it's super glam but, man, is it weird. Weird in a good way though... weird is always a compliment! The shoot consists of two parts. The first is more opulent, set in the incredible Gallery of Costume in Platt Hall, Manchester. The second part took place in the nearby woods.Read more...

Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, had always fascinated Shawna and Kevin. They flew over from the US to marry there. "It is nearly impossible to describe how it felt to walk among stones that have stood there for millennia", Shawna wrote. "They have seen empires collapse, civilizations come and go, and yet, there they stand. And while they are not as perfectly placed as they once were thousands of years ago, they are still there and will be for a long time to come. We were, and are, in awe."Read more...

The day I published this article on wedding trends (and why they suck) Scottish wedding photographer Caro Weiss got in touch to tell me she couldn't agree more - and that she'd just done a shoot with florists, Pyrus, for the exact same reason!Read more...

I joked on Facebook recently that the way to get blogged on Rock n Roll Bride is clearly to have a cat theme to your wedding, because this is the forth one I've featured in so many weeks (the others are here, here and here)! I stand by my convictions though, cat weddings are awesome. End of discussion.Read more...

I feel like I have a million things to tell you! After what seemed like a lifetime preparing for this trip I was so excited to board my flight to New York just over two weeks ago. I stayed with Gala and Mike at their brand new pad for a few days before heading to San Francisco to crack on with our first Blogcademy workshop of the year.Read more...

Sam and Stu met at college and bonded over a mutual love of video games, "primarily how to get the knights of the round summon in Final Fantasy 7!" Sam laughed. So needless to say, when it came to tying the knot, the very thing that brought them together was to be the theme of the wedding. " We’re game geeks to the core! We wanted sleek quirky bright design with our gaming interest being the centre of it. We play tabletop RPG’s, board games and regular old video games."Read more...

When it comes to deciding what kind of sparkler you'd like to say "I do" with, the possibilities really are endless. Would you like diamonds or a semi-precious stone? In gold, silver, platinum, titanium or even wood..? How about some custom engraving, or even an antiqued finish? These days, the only limit is your imagination!Read more...

Hi Kat A quick query: how much do you charge for product reviews? I am a virtual vet. I also have a blog, posting every day. This is becoming a larger part of my workload, but I do it for free, which is a challenge. Part of my mix is a weekly product review, which I have done for free up till now. A PR company told me that one of the reasons that they use me is that I am free whereas people like you charge a fee. So hence my question: how much do you charge?Read more...

Tim and Ange were married in Brisbane. One of the most notable things about this wedding was that they completely changed their plans, mid-way through. They went from organising a big 100+ guest wedding at a fancy venue, to a small and intimate one in an alley in the heart of the city with just 20 guests... oh and organising it all in 12 weeks!Read more...

If someone were to ask me to list all of my favourite things, nearly everything in this wedding would feature: cats, tattoos, Disney, ears, pink, 80s tunes, glitter... I mean goodness, what's not to love?! The wedding was held at Union/Pine in Portland, in December.Read more...

I promised myself that 2014 would be the year that I finally started taking better care of my body. I don't know if it's hitting 30 that's done it, or the fact that I'm going to be on the road so much, but I desperately feel the need to give myself some TLC as often as possible. I'm eating better, I'm trying (but failing) to drink less, and I'm investing in some really great beauty products and treats. But taking good care of yourself doesn't have to be an expensive exercise.Read more...

For the photo shoot at the latest Photography Farm workshop, photographer Lisa Devlin knew she needed to do something big. After all, at the last Farm Gareth and I got married again! After seeing Megan and Grant's gorgeous wedding on Rock n Roll Bride, and reading how much Megan loves Disney (and just so happens to resemble a certain crimson haired mermaid) the ideas started bubbling away. She wanted to put a different twist on the mermaid idea though and eventually came across the story of Rusalka, from which The Little Mermaid movie was based. Luckily Megan and Grant also loved the idea and we're thrilled to model for her!Read more...

29th March 2014 was a good day in England, because same sex marriage finally became completely legal! While gay couples have been able to become civil partners for a few years now, it's crazy to think that until two months ago they didn't have the exact same rights as heterosexual couples.Read more...

Elia and Joey didn't want a big wedding, instead they wanted something small and meaningful. The day was held at Little Valley Mountain Resort with the ceremony in the chapel there and the reception in one of the cabins!Read more...

Emma and Liam wanted to honeymoon in Fiji so they thought, "hey, why don't we just get married there too!?" So they upped sticks from their home in Australia and travelled over with all their family and friends for the wedding - and honeymoon - of a lifetime! Emma wore a beautiful customised 1950s style dress from House of Mooshki.Read more...

Hello beautiful! This update comes to you from a very chilly Chicago, where I'm sat in my Air B&B digs with Gala and Shauna, hiding from the weather and planning our adventures in this brand new city.Read more...

Travis and Erin challenged themselves to spend no more than $5000 on their wedding - and they did it! One of the key things about this wedding was that they kept it a secret from their guests. That's right, they had no idea they were going to a wedding that day... they all thought they were just there for an engagement party! The day was held at The Briars Homestead Garden, Mount Martha, Australia.Read more...

Cecilia and Stuart's Glasgow wedding was pure vintage glamour - with a big dollop of pin up rockabilly cool thrown in for good measure! The couple were married at St Patricks church and their reception was held at Sloans, Gasgow's oldest bar and restaurant.Read more...
