My darlings the time has come - new contest alert woop woop! Ever since our honeymoon in Tokyo I have been somewhat obsessed with all things Japanese - from the fashion to the food I seriously love it all. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered TokyoMade, a fantastic Tokyo-based company who design, make and ship (worldwide!) their awesome kawaii creations. After lusting and swooning a little bit more than what could be deemed as normal over their site, I spoke to the pair behind the company, Masao & Deanne, who were of course delightful! But even better than all this, you lucky lucky readers, the pair have donated three fantastically kitsch and faaabulous Lissita Tresure Globe Rings for a super kawaii giveaway! I will be giving away two prizes this time so you have two ways to enter. 1. Comment below saying which ring you would like to win (Bow, Violin or Fly...the third one will be mine but I can't choose which one to keep as I love them all so whichever one doesn't get won I will keep!) and why. 2. Follow both @RocknRollBride and @TokyoMade on Twitter and tweet the following message @RocknRollBride @TokyoMade I need to win the XXX ring because.... You have until Friday 25th September to enter. You can enter via both methods but only one entry per method please! Contest is open to ALL readers (I will ship worldwide). Winners will be chosen at random with some kind of sophisticated system....Now GO!Read more...

Jessica & Nik had a completely KICK ASS (and that had to be in capitals because I am literally shouting that as I write!) wedding at Northbowl in Philadelphia. The couple, who love all things rockabilly, kitsch and retro - certainly put all of themselves into their freakin' awesome day. This is one of those weddings that is certainly going to do the rounds of Blog-Land so I am honoured that Amanda & Carina have elected Rock n Roll Bride to be the first blog to share them! As artists (Jessica a graphic designer and printmaker and Nik an illustrator) they were certainly the perfect pair to pull off such a stylish gathering. Jessica even made the adorable fawn cake topper to accompany the cupcakes (supplied by Brown Betty) herself! For the frames they scoured TJ Maxx (TKMaxx if you're in the UK like me!) and Michael'sand spray painted them themselves Jessica's dress was from Vivien of Holloway, she made her own red shrug (swoon!) and her hair piece was from House of Telsa on Etsy. Nik wore a suit from J Crew and a wicked tie from Cyberoptix TieLab. These two certainly are doing it for the girls. What a fantastic day! Thanks, as ever to the faaaaabulous Amanda & Carina for sending me the images and info. Love you guys! ps If the photos below aren't enough for you, then be sure to go check out Love Me Do's flickr - super yum! Credit: Love Me Do PhotographyRead more...

Melinda & Chris had a beeeautiful wedding at Hastings House, Salt Spring Island, BC. Mindy looked beyond stunning in her grey Badgley Mischka dress and her enviable red Mui Mui shoes. Is she the ultimate rock n roll bride or what? The whole wedding certainly had rock n roll flair, with close family and friends along for the ride. The Seattle based couple choose the venue for it's stunning ocean view and and spectacular surroundings. Photographer Angela described the event as lots of fun, champagne, good food, laughs, music, tattoos, singing + love, yet with elegance, beauty and color. Thank you Angela for sharing this gooorgeous day with us! Credit: Hubbard PhotographyRead more...

The Marvimon in LA has become rather an iconic venue to me over this past year. I have never failed to adore every wedding I'm sent that has taken place within it's walls. Sabrina & Kevin's is no different. The day started as a somewhat traditional western affair - she: a bundle of radiance in her pastel palette and Claire Pettibone gown and he: the perfect accompaniment to his bride. The bridesmaids looked stunning and the flowers (supplied La Partie Events) were out of this world gorgeous. The whole day exudes rustic glamour. Come nightfall, Sabrina changed into a Kimono for the festivities and family party. Thanks, as ever, to the always lovely Erin & Court for allowing me to share this gorgeous wedding! This wedding has also been featured on The Bride's Cafe but I couldn't resist a little sneak too! Credit: ErinHeartsCourtRead more...

Lisa & Geoff are awesome. So awesome in fact that my friends over at 100 Layer Cake also realised their awesomeness and have blogged their entire wedding over on their site today. Right here though I'm all about their amazing day after shoot at The California State Fair. I'm pretty sure the fairground photo shoot sinario is one I'm not going to tire of easily - so much colour and fun! Thanks to the lovely Sarah for sending these in and thanks to Jillian over at 100 Layer Cake for working with me on this feature - be sure to go check out their post asap!

Remember this aaamazing wedding at Shoreditch House in London? Well my lovely friend Liz (like, real life friend not just online - we've been out for cocktails and everything!) just sent me this wedding at the same venue that she shot with Nadia Swindell this weekend. You might recognise the bowling! How fab is that - I wish I'd found a wedding venue complete with bowling lanes. Does this wedding just scream London in the 60's or what? The amazing and cute, short vintage dress and handmade veil were from uber cool boutique Fur Coat No Knickers. Anyway you're gonna love these so... Thanks for sending these to me Liz and we really need to stop being so rubbish and find some time for that shoot we planned! Credit: Eliza Claire PhotographyRead more...

I have been looking forward to seeing Hannah & Alex's wedding ever since I saw their school yard engagements and the bridal shoot to be used for their stag/hen/bachelor/ette parties invites. I first spoke to Hannah about 6 months ago when she forwarded me some of the work of her sister and photographer, Kelty and I have been nuts about it every since. I have been lucky enough to become good online friends with Kelty so I was over the moon when she sent me a sneak peek of the wedding photographs after the day.Credit: Steep Street PhotographyRead more...

Cody & Giselle had a very coll wedding full of music, fun, tattoos (Cody got all his groomsmen a lip tattoo as their thank you present!), photo booths, peacock feathers and one of the most stunning portrait locations ever! They found The Brampton Badlands North of Brampton, Ontario where the hills are both vibrant and desolate and perfect for rock n roll photo shoots. Thanks to Erika & Ryan for sharing these.

I got sent this last night by the super lovely Alison and I have been dying to share them! Abby & Josh are one of those effortlessly cool couples aren't they? They look like they look this stylish every day of their lives. The shoot took place at Abby's parents farm as they have acres of unused land. She wore two vintage dresses and Josh chose a shirt that showed off his tattoos (no complaints over here!) This shoot only took place 2 days ago so I am honoured and excited that Alison deemed me worthy of blogging them right away! Thank you so much for sending them to me.Read more...

This make me happy. The photos are of course stunning, with their neo-realism kinda feel - the stark white backdrop and her pale skin vs the dark gothic lipstick is just beautiful. But what I really love is the vintage feeling video - just taken on a cheap video camera. The effect is magical. Thanks Michelle. Wonderful as always!Read more...
