Why You Should Be Thinking Outside the Box with Your Wedding Venue

Kat

July 18, 2018

I don't know about you, but I've always found sorting the venue one of most stressful parts of wedding planning. Not only is it one of the first things you need to do (you can't set your date, send out invitations or even really start planning your decor and theme until you know where the day will take place) but almost everything else hinges on getting this part right. A fantastic venue will make your wedding day feel like a dream, whereas one that isn't quite right will make the whole process a bit of a nightmare.

YOU GUYS! Stop everything because you need to see this incredible elopement like NOW. Married in January on Macao beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Masya and Sasha, who live in Russia, had a traditional Greek ceremony in the most non-traditional way!

Poolside Palm Springs Wedding

Let's Frolic Together

July 7, 2018

Lauren and Matt's goal for their wedding was simple: they wanted an intimate celebration where they could spend the week before with their families. To achieve this they rented a private home in Palm Springs rather than going for a traditional wedding venue. This meant more work, of course, but a bigger reward at the end of it too!

There’s something pretty freaking empowering about saying no to things that you thought you needed but you don’t.

June 21, 2018

Being a florist who has worked in the wedding industry for twenty years, Sarah Jo knew she wanted to do something completely different when she married her long term partner (they'd been together 15 years!) Dan. Both performers at heart who's friendship began in a band almost two decades ago, they decided that the only thing for it was to have a rock concert wedding! But not just a concert themed wedding, to put on an ACTUAL ROCK CONCERT and get married up on stage in between performances.

Alright, we need to talk about one of the greatest destination weddings I've probably ever seen: Cara and Tod's insanely awesome, super colourful, don't-give-a-fuck Ibiza wedding! The groom wore a silver sequin jacket and his groomsmen were in NEON PINK SHORT SUITS. I kid you not, you will never have seen a wedding quite like this one before. Oh and there were real life mermaids at their reception - NBD.

Both lovers off Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Hannah and Derek wanted their Portland wedding to transport their guests to Middle Earth. The theme was a botanical woodland and the day was unique, intimate, and moody, while reflecting their Oregon roots.

Think Beyond the Wedding Favour: Personalise Your Wedding with My M&M’s®

Kat

June 11, 2018

Wedding favours get a bad rap but they are a great way to personalise your wedding tables. M&M's offer an amazing personalisation service, where you can choose the colours of the chocolates to match your theme and then add a logo, phrase or even a photo to the top of them! I obviously had to try it out and I think our logo looks so cute on the pink M&Ms. Even Gareth was like "Oooh these have our logo on them!" when he saw them. Crowd pleaser all round.

Rock n Renovation: A Sexy Kitchen Sink?

Kat

June 6, 2018

If there’s one thing that got the most comments when I shared our new kitchen, it was our copper sink. Someone even said they'd be HONOURED to wash up in such a beautiful thing and you know what, I think I agree with them. I would leave my husband for this sink and tap combo, they're just that beautiful (not really Gareth I love you forever).

Rock n Renovation: Worktop of Dreams

Kat

May 28, 2018

When it came to my choice of kitchen worktop, I'm not ashamed to admit to being a bit of a cliché. I wanted Carrara marble and I wanted it now. It was my dream before we'd even bought the house. Even Gareth was in complete agreement without me having to put up a fight... and that never happens!

Rock n Roll Boho Bridals in Palm Springs

Palm Springs is one of those places that you fall in love with as soon as you step off the plane. The weather, the mid-century modern architecture and, of course, the laid back attitude of the whole city. When British photographer Anna Beth paid it a visit last autumn, she loved it so much she decided to put together this shoot.

Revamp, Restyle, Reveal: Our Kitchen Reveal!

Kat

May 17, 2018

You're doing the kitchen... in four weeks!?!?" That was pretty much the standard response we got when telling people about our insane plan to gut and basically rebuild our entire kitchen in a month. So why the ridiculous time frame? Well, we were invited to take part in Revamp, Restyle, Reveal - a challenge with ten bloggers, nine sponsors, one room (of our choice) and four weeks to make it over... And well, apparently my husband and I are suckers for punishment.

Pastel Perfection: Style Me Sunday for Rock n Roll Bride Magazine

May 16, 2018

Nothing says ‘spring wedding’ quite like a pastel colour scheme, but the idea doesn’t have to result in something syrupy, wishy-washy or overly traditional. Those delicate, girly hues can still be Rock n Roll - all it takes is an injection of fun! So throw on a buttery soft biker jacket, some chunky accessories and your favourite kicks, but most importantly always remember to rock a carefree ‘this is my wedding and I’m going to have a damn good time!’ attitude!
