There's nothing we love more than a wedding that feels like a true extension of the couple getting married. One that represents who they are and what they stand for. That's exactly what Zoë and Jack did. They built their wedding from the ground up. Literally.Read more...

Jade and Simon’s took over Cultplex in Manchester for their wedding ceremony, turning the stage in front of the big screen into their altar. As the bride is polyamorous, this wasn't about tradition or legality - in fact the ceremony was not actually legally binding - all they cared about was creating something that felt collaborative and real. The bride's other partners were also involved in the day, acting as their officiant and doing readings. With a budget of just £3,000, they pulled off a wedding that was totally DIY.Read more...

Tiago and Joana chose to elope in Sintra, Portugal, at the Santa Maria Tower. They wanted their day to be about them, and no one else. “We know that if we were to get married, it had to be somewhere in Sintra to match our magical, whimsical, forest-y and eerie atmosphere,” Joana said.Read more...

Marie and Doug wanted a wedding that made sense for their lives, not one that fit into anyone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like. They both have ADHD and found the process of planning a wedding overwhelming, so instead of trying to fit themselves into a mould that didn’t work, they built a day entirely around their needs, energy levels and comfort.Read more...

A single bite can change everything. That’s the energy behind Forbidden Fruit, a conceptual bridal meets boudoir shoot dreamt up by Suzy Marrero of Pepper Lavender Events. She calls it her “version of temptation meeting wedding day glam, where indulgence, lust, and allure take centre stage". It’s unapologetic. It’s decadent. And it dares you to look a little closer.Read more...

New York Bridal Fashion Week has wrapped, and this season it was all about reimagining the bridal rules (something we are, of course, a huge fan of at Rock n Roll Bride!) One thing stood out to us the most: the next generation of brides are more focused on self-expression, comfort, and the meaning behind their choices. The biggest shift? Texture, tactility, and detail took centre stage. Designers are crafting gowns that feel alive with things like pleats, layers, feathers and even sculpture. There was pleasing amount of colour too! The modern nearlywed isn’t content with a plain white dress. She wants depth. She wants movement. She wants to feel something.Read more...

Grace and Chris’ wedding looked like it had stepped straight out of Middle-earth. Think Bilbo Baggins’ 111th Birthday Party meets a medieval feast, complete with jewel tones, lace, and goblets raised in the air. “The groom’s party was designed to look like a group of hobbits walking through the shire, and the bridesmaids were giving elven princess vibes,” said Grace. Fantasy met festivity, and the result was pure magic.Read more...

After you pick your wedding date and location, one of the first things you’re going to want to do is put together a wedding website. Traditional paper invites are awesome (we’re obviously huge fans of print at Rock n Roll Bride!) but having something online will make it SUPER easy for your guests to get all the vital info they might need before your big day.Read more...

Louise and Jamie’s wedding brought together Pokémon nostalgia, the groom's Chinese heritage, and some western traditions into one joyful celebration. In Chinese weddings the bride traditionally wears red. Louise honoured this, but gave her look her own twist with it being a western style dress and adding panda shoes!Read more...

As wedding planners themselves, Alissa and Luke had a pretty solid idea of what they wanted for their own wedding: fantasy, maximalism, and pure joy. They invited guests to go all out and come dressed in their nerdy best, and the result was a celebration that felt like a cross between a cinematic epic and a family gathering. The groom wasn't going to be outshone either - he paired a homemade cape with his rental suit!Read more...

For over 18 years, Rock n Roll Bride has existed to celebrate creativity, individuality, and honesty in weddings. We’ve never chased trends or played the popularity game, and we never will. This manifesto is our line in the sand, what we stand for, what we promise you and what we stand against. As the world feels like its going even more mad, as the wedding industry gets even more expensive to work in and be a couple in, we felt it was a good time to remind you exactly what we do - and don't - stand for.Read more...

The wedding industry can feel like a secret club with its own language. You start out thinking you’re just booking a photographer or buying a dress, then suddenly you’re knee-deep in terms like editorial coverage, flatlays, and off-the-rack lead times. It can be very confusing!Read more...

Although it wasn’t a real wedding, there are so many creative ideas you could steal for your own.

Cassie and Curtis matched on Tinder and bonded over a shared love of alternative music. Early on, they made a promise: if they ever got married, they’d do it their way. Years later, they kept that promise with a darkly romantic celebration at the Madonna Inn in California, complete with red velvet walls, golden cherubs, and a red wedding dress inspired by Cassie’s parents’ first dance song, Lady in Red.Read more...

At some point in your wedding planning journey, it probably hit you: the internet lied. Not maliciously, maybe, but persistently. It told you a wedding had to look a certain way - curated, coordinated, colour-coded to the Pantone shade of the year. That the tablecloths mattered. That the signage had to rhyme. That you needed eight matching friends in identical outfits standing behind you or the whole thing didn’t count.Read more...

Ruby and Rebecca’s wedding was a perfect collision of dark romance and pop-star sparkle. They tied the knot at their local town hall before heading to the Stock Exchange Bar in Haven, for a reception that felt equal parts gothic soirée and Taylor Swift fever dream. “We wanted to incorporate Ruby’s love of everything gothic and my love of Taylor Swift,” Rebecca said. “We kept the colours and theming dark but the welcome signs and mirrorballs everywhere were themed for Taylor.”Read more...
