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!

Playful Adventure Themed Wedding… with a Husky Ring Bearer!

Chris and Luana met completely through happenstance: Chris was on his way home from a pool party with friends, when they decided to stop for food. Luana happened to be working the counter that fateful evening, and the rest, they say, is history. They had their rehearsal dinner at the very same restaurant nearly 10 years later.

Anna and Ben's woodland wedding was captivating (geddit?) and enraptor-ing (double geddit!?) All puns aside, their beautiful dinosaur-themed wedding day was a riot of colour and fun, featuring loads of handmade games and outdoor decor to make you properly swoon. Plus, peep the seriously cute bridesmaids' outfits!

We feature a lot of Friday the 13th and Halloween weddings on Rock n Roll Bride (and we love them!) but Alexis and Jeff took it to the NEXT LEVEL with their DIY Halloween themed wedding, where they were made up as Frankenstein's monster and his bride. Yep, you read that right.

When the couple met via an Instagram account called "The bearded pantie droppers", you know it's going to be a good wedding. And you'd be right - Rose and Matt's rockabilly pub wedding day was a glorious melee of everything they loved including donuts, tattoos and Sailor Jerry. Not only that, but it was all done for £2000. TWO. THOUSAND. POUNDS!

Succulent-Filled South of France Themed Wedding… with a Rice Krispie Wedding Cake!

Although they’d gone to the same school and have family members who’ve known each other since they were tiny, Kirsten and Jack's paths didn’t cross until a Christmas Eve pub visit in 2013. They had their first date that same Boxing Day and have been together ever since! As it has a way of doing, life tried to throw a spanner in the works when a month into their relationship, Jack was offered a job in Nice. They did long distance for a year and then Kirsten followed her heart and moved to France to be with Jack. It’s there, after three years, that they got engaged, so it made sense for the South of France to feature heavily in their Glaswegian wedding!

Dark Boudoir Bridal Shoot With Greenery and Florals

July 1, 2018

When we hear the phrase 'boudoir shoot', there have been enough bad ones gone before to throw up connotations in the mind of something tacky, pandering to the male gaze, and overly sexualised for the wrong reasons. Today's editorial couldn't leave this further behind with its strong female subject who isn't looking for anyone's approval or attention, fresh and contemporary greenery, and a bright palette of whites, greens and pinks. And if that entire sassy black underwear range isn't in your online shopping basket by the time you're done here, we need to have words.

When you think of "bridal lingerie", what comes to mind? Ivory lace? Strapless bras? Shapewear that flattens more than it flatters? Yeah… same. But if you're here, reading Rock n Roll Bride, chances are you’re not looking for “tradition” wrapped in tissue paper. You’re planning a wedding that’s unapologetically you. Which means your lingerie shouldn't be some beige afterthought, it should be part of the fantasy.

Feminism, Equality & The Meaning of Your Wedding Flowers

Do you ever play the people-watching game in big train stations? As somebody who first met my now-husband under the clock at Waterloo, I love giving back-stories to strangers as I wait. My favourite time to do it is when I spot somebody carrying a bunch of flowers. I wonder if those ranunculi mean “congrats on the new job”, or if those red roses mean “I’m sorry for being a prick”. Whatever the meaning, when it comes to flowers, there is always a message being sent. And, sometimes, there is even a whole secret language in bloom. So, why not use your flowers to help send the messages you want to on your wedding day?

When Mariela and Mat, who met in 2018 at a tattoo convention, decided to tie the knot, they knew that while they didn't have a particular theme or vison in mind, they wanted something that incorporated their love for the desert, retro decor and tattoos. They found the perfect spot in downtown Las Vegas at the Sure Thing Chapel, featuring an officiant with a twist: Hellvis, the chapel’s resident 'spooky and campy Elvis' evil twin'. Everything else just fell into place after that.

Monica and Dominic’s wedding at The Grove in Las Vegas brought a medieval touch to a venue known for its romantic almond orchard. While most couples embrace the venue’s natural elegance, Monica and Dominic transformed the space into a scene filled with gothic magic and Celtic traditions. “We are both ‘Elder Emos,’ and I have an Irish/Celtic background,” Monica told us. “So we wanted something that really reflected our roots and personalities.”

Byron and Rose's wedding was the ultimate blend of laid-back rebellion and deep personal style - think shotgun wedding energy meets backyard house party, with a punk twist. Hosting it at the a family home kept it intimate and unruly in the best way (but did mean it was a lot of work to organise!)

When they first met at the Brighton Tattoo Convention in 2015, Lauren and Glyn never imagined they’d one day be getting married - for the second time - under neon lights with a rock’n’roll Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas. But to mark five years of marriage, that’s exactly what they did: a vow renewal and the honeymoon they never had, all rolled into one.

Justin and Kelsey didn’t set out to throw a wedding for anyone but themselves. "It’s for us, not them," Kelsey said, and they stuck to that from start to finish. They had a limited budget, so did everything from the cake, flowers, props and decor themselves. "The theme was forest goth... basically using all the decor from our home!"

Melanie and Daniel got hitched on Halloween at the Sure Thing Chapel in downtown Vegas. The chapel handled everything for them—the officiant, the flowers, and even recommending the photographer—making the whole process completely stress-free, even as Vegas first-timers. They didn’t technically invite any guests; the people who came kind of invited themselves!

Moody November Wedding at a Gothic New York Mansion

January 22, 2025

Meghan and Chris’s November wedding was held at a gothic style mansion in the Catskills, New York. They were entranced by the venue, which was filled with rich history, and stunning woods surrounding it. They really tried to make it their own; the first dance, for example, was done behind a curtain with a spotlight so their 75 guests could only see their silhouettes. They also had a tarot card reader as an option for guests who didn't want to dance in the evening.

When Lauren, a self-described couponer and DIY enthusiast, married Michael, she knew they'd be doing a lot of the planning themselves. They stuck to their strict $4,000 budget by buying decor items from craft stores and not wearing traditional wedding outfits. Their venue was a restaurant which worked out a lot cheaper than going for a wedding venue.
