Rock n Roll Bride In Print.

Kat

June 18, 2009

So about 6 months ago I received an email from Wedding Ideas Magazine saying our wedding had been submitted to them as a Real Wedding feature by our photographers English Rose and would we be happy for them to share them. Being the huge poser that I am, of course I said yes. So I picked up a copy of the magazine today and although some of the photographs they chose I don't really like (I think my face looks huge in the pain photograph for example!) and the article is beyond a cheese-fest, it is a little bit exciting to be in print...and can you believe they even called me a Rock Chick...maybe they knew...

Beth Retro

Beth Retrois a stock photographer from Essex, England. I came across her gorgeous images via the wonder that is flickr and I straight away knew I'd be sharing these as some non wedding - wedding inspiration. Whimsical and beautiful, her use of out-of-focus, twinkling lights and bright, luminous colours is right up my street. She also appears as obsessed with balloon as french fancies as I am so it's gotta be good! For more of Beth's work check out her flickr stream, or herEtsy store of you fancy treating yourself, I know I will be!

Defiantly Joyful, Same Sex Wedding

Kat

June 18, 2009

The reader's survey has now closed. I will be announcing the winner and sharing some of the results later on today. However reader, XX said I should be featuring more same sex weddings, which of course I would love too - but it all depends on what I'm sent or what I find on my wedding hunts. However today you are in luck, as photographer Stephen Loewinsohn send me this gorgeous, and stylish lesbian wedding just yesterday! Stephen said: These brides have tons of rockstar style and swagger, and their wedding was just gorgeous in every way. From the amazing outdoor setting, to the beautiful and delicious food, awesome outfits, and just the feeling of love in the air, this was just a really special wedding. As you know, same-sex marriages are no longer legally recognized in the state of California, but these brides love each other so much that they decided to go ahead and have an awesome wedding anyway. I'm a strong believer in marriage equality as believe you are too. This wedding was an act of rebellion against a stupid law, and what's more rock 'n' roll than rebellion? Definitely rock n roll and definitely beautiful! Thank you so much Stephen!

Swimming, Jumping, Trashing

Kat

June 17, 2009

Proper trash the dress still kinda scares me. Don't get me wrong I love the results but I'd still be so scared of getting into a lake in my dress! Newlywed Michelle has allayed my fears a little bit, you never know, maybe I would get into a lake in my dress! We did it next to and under a road near my house and finished off with me getting in the lake down the street just as the sun was setting over the mountains. It was pretty much the most fun thing I have ever done and I wish I could trash my dress every day! (I actually could do it again because I washed it in the bathtub, picked the lake weeds out of the skirt, and it ended up being as good as new!)

Sharing The Link Love

June 14, 2009

Today is Sunday and although it seems strange to me that the whole world isn't sat at home online (yes I am a total geek) it appears to be a slow day on the old world wide web. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to draw your attention to my wonderful sponsors - I quite frankly think every single one of these guys rock, and I am completely honoured to have them as a permanent feature of my site. Share the link love and have a little click over to their site's if you're at a Sunday loose end.
