It's no secret that Rock n Roll brides love short, 1950s style prom wedding dresses. In fact I often think it is probably the style I'd wear if I was getting married again. Not only are they super duper flattering to nearly every body shape, but the short style gives some much needed sass to a wedding day ensemble! When my friends at True Bride, who have just launched a fifties-inspired range, got in touch to ask if I'd like to give away one of the dresses from their brand new Brighton Belle collection, after sobbing a little that I couldn't be the one to win it, I jumped at the chance!Read more...

Emily and Glenn were married at the bride's childhood home. She wore her grandmother's wedding dress and they wanted to make sure everything they did minimised waste. "Our wedding inspiration was to use second-hand, borrowed, vintage and thrift store finds", Emily explained, "We really focused on re-purposing things for the day. This meant incorporating vintage furniture as seating and using items my father had collected over the last 30 years as décor. Everything was DIY but since we did not want to buy anything new we stayed away from crafting and mostly decorated with old lanterns and vintage furniture. We also borrowed a lot of stuff from friends and family so that we didn't have to buy brand new things."Read more...

Johnny and Michelle wanted a colourful, funky and fun wedding. "We wanted the environment and décor to be a visual representation of our personalities", said the bride. "This led us in a lot of different directions that included things like bright colours and watercolour cakes. We also had a bit of southwestern influence from the groom and bohemian style from the bride. It was great to see all these different ideas come together to form a single cohesive look for the wedding!"Read more...

There’s something magical about saying “I do” under twinkling lights in your own backyard. A backyard wedding can feel warm, personal, and unforgettable, but only if it’s done the right way.

As a wedding planner who has designed backyard celebrations for high-end clients, I want to set the record straight.Read more...

From the post-pandemic engagement gap to the ever-mounting cost-of-living crisis, it’s hardly surprising that the wedding industry is having a tough time. It’s also not a shock to find that more and more couples are opting out of having the big wedding they always dreamed of, perhaps due to the rise in rent, mortgage rates, or the endless instability caused by the current state of global affairs. But just because it isn’t shocking… doesn’t mean it isn’t sad. So, from one rock ‘n’ roll bride to another, I want to offer you a great big hug and tell you… I get it. Planning a wedding when the world is on fire is really, really hard…Read more...

We all know the truly chilling/hilarious and deeply ironic 'no ragrets' tattoo. A permanent mistake the wearer must live with that not only is so cringe and embarrassing but maybe more importantly, flies in the face of the tattoo's intent; to live a life of freedom without the weight of regrets. Alert, alert, you fucked it. Your life is now reduced to a monumental 'ragret' that you cannot escape (the ‘No ragrets’ guy is actually a character from a movie, but you get the drift!)Read more...

I thought putting on 'the' dress would be a magical moment. The moment all the rom-coms promised. My mum crying and all the “Oh, you’re such a beautiful bride” comments. But when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t feel like one at all. I just felt like me. In a slightly ill-fitting big white dress. I guess it was 'the one', I didn't hate it... but wasn't I supposed to feel something else?Read more...

Sarah and Spencer wanted their wedding to feel like an extension of their home, their shared obsessions, and the places that shaped their relationship. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art became their ceremony venue, not just because it is an iconic space in Fort Worth, but because Sarah’s own story as an artist is tied to it. In 2019 she held a Carter Community Artist Residency there, a project that shifted her career and cemented her love for bringing art into public spaces. To marry there was less about grandeur and more about circling back to a place that had given her so much.Read more...
