July 22, 2014

Ryan always wanted to get married in Vegas and luckily for him, when he ran it by his fiancé Beth she was up for it too! They travelled from New Zealand with 20 of their closest friends and family - 8 of them even went with them on the honeymoon to Hawaii! "Beth is a full time burlesque entertainer and lounge singer and my background is in theatre too, although I'm now mainly a web designer", explained the groom. "I really wanted to get married in Las Vegas, so Beth chose the date to fall on her 25th birthday, I think so I couldn't possibly forget either event ever."

Helena and Laurent

June 30, 2014

Ben and Roo wanted their big day to feel like 'them'. So they enlisted the help of friends and family to hand craft the wedding of their dreams! "Our theme was 'nature meets colorful meets elegant meets comfortable!" began the bride. "I was a circus performer for ten years and Ben has been a rigger for his whole professional life. Our friends are eclectic and multi-skilled and they all pitched in. It made a blank slate of a venue become a colorful tapestry of strings of circus lights, people on stilts, colorful guests, chandeliers hanging from trees and an amazing electro-swing dance party!"

Being a florist, Becky knew as soon as she and Daniel got engaged that flowers would play a big part in the décor of their wedding. The day had a retro and Rock n Roll theme and was held at The Redbury Hotel in Hollywood.

After their ceremony at Lothian Chambers in Edinburgh, Will and Rowan hosted a low key reception at St Columba's by the Castle, which was walking distance for all their guests. In the evening everybody moved on again, this time to The Caves. They chose this for their evening party because it is one one Will's favourite venues for gigs.

For the photo shoot at the latest Photography Farm workshop, photographer Lisa Devlin knew she needed to do something big. After all, at the last Farm Gareth and I got married again! After seeing Megan and Grant's gorgeous wedding on Rock n Roll Bride, and reading how much Megan loves Disney (and just so happens to resemble a certain crimson haired mermaid) the ideas started bubbling away. She wanted to put a different twist on the mermaid idea though and eventually came across the story of Rusalka, from which The Little Mermaid movie was based. Luckily Megan and Grant also loved the idea and we're thrilled to model for her!

Jessie Lou

May 15, 2014

Travis and Erin challenged themselves to spend no more than $5000 on their wedding - and they did it! One of the key things about this wedding was that they kept it a secret from their guests. That's right, they had no idea they were going to a wedding that day... they all thought they were just there for an engagement party! The day was held at The Briars Homestead Garden, Mount Martha, Australia.

Tropical Punk Rock Wedding: Renee & Micky

Renee and Micky met while backpacking around Australia. They love the beach and so wanted their wedding to reflect that, but alongside the punk rock edge that defines them both. I don't know about you but looking at these glorious pictures from Curly Tree Photography makes me really long for Summer!

How I Rescued My Bleach Ravaged Hair

Kat

Made U Look

April 17, 2014

I've been bleaching my hair on and off since I was 16. I started doing it myself at home, and then progressed to getting it done at a salon every six to eight weeks. Not really knowing any better I was going to a well known chain (one that rhymes with 'phoney and pie'... ahem) for around three years, and unwittingly allowing them to ravage my fuchsia tresses more and more with each visit!

I’m Actually a Mermaid…

Heline Bekker

April 9, 2014

There's nothing that evokes childlike wonder quite like mermaids. I don't think there's any girl who watched The Little Mermaid as a kid and afterwards didn't wanted to be one... So when this shoot, although not strictly wedding inspired, landed in my inbox, I knew I wanted to share it with you. It's pure fantasy but that doesn't make it any less fabulous.

Face and Body Paint Botanical Gardens Wedding: Kristin & Ky

March 13, 2014

I have something really beautiful and unusual for you today, I just know you're going to love it! Kristin and Ky were hitched at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens in Florida. Their outdoor wedding was made as colourful as possible with the addition of paint... lots of paint! The bride wore a full face of geisha-style face paint, her dress was splattered with it (which she did herself), they painted each other as part of the ceremony and they had an artist on hand to do their guests too!

Skateboard and Travel Themed Cornish Wedding: Nicole & Jon

February 3, 2014

British babe Nicole met Canadian Jon at us stop in Byron Bay, whilst both travelling in Australia in 2006. He was a skateboarder and so she tired to impress him by going on it... he nudged her and she broke her ankle! Far from being a disastrous first meeting though, Jon then changed his travel plans to be with her, aww!

Budget-Friendly Wedding in Ukraine and a Bride with Blue Hair: Annie & Evgeniy

Kat

Max Timofeev & Alex Botsman

January 14, 2014

Annie and Evgeniy were married in October in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. They were determined not to spend a lot of money and managed to pull the whole thing off for just $2500. To do this they kept the guest list small (they only had 20 people), DIYed a lot and eliminated a lot of things that they didn't care about.

Crazy-Good Alice in Wonderland Wedding: Cat & Craig

Kat

Chris Barber

January 9, 2014

Pink haired brides always have a special place in my heart (it's not difficult to see why!) and so when wedding photographer Chris Barber submitted Cat and Craig's October wedding I didn't hesitate to say yes! The wedding took place on Sunday 20th and was held at New Hall Hotel and Spa in Birmingham.

Epic Las Vegas Elopement: Ainsley & Sebastien

Kat

Janneke Storm

January 2, 2014

When I featured Ainsley and Sebestien's engagement shoot in September I dubbed it "the coolest engagement shoot to date". I was pretty sure that their wedding would be suitably kick ass too but nothing (and I mean nothing!) could have prepared me for this. While I was hanging out with their wedding photographer Janneke Storm in Queensland, she started to tell me more about their upcoming elopement in Las Vegas. I made her promise then and there to send me the photos to blog afterwards. Luckily for me (and you!) she did.

You are going to love Beckie and Paul's wedding. From Beckie's amazing pink and teal corset and skirt combo to her purple and green hair, and their amazing DIY details including the knitted faux taxidermy bust centrepieces (!!) this really is a crazy creative wedding with a difference. The ceremony was held at Blackfriars Priory in Gloucestershire and the reception at the quirky Over Barn which came complete with farm animals and a bowling lane!

So, We Got Married… (Again!)

October 2, 2013

One of the questions I get asked over and over again is what Gareth and I would do differently if we were getting married today. Of course my answer is always "so much!" Both of us have changed a considerable amount over the past five and a half years and our style and tastes couldn't be more different to how they were back in 2008.

The Real “Non Wedding”, An Elopement at Home: Alicia & Phill

September 25, 2013

A lot of you will no doubt remember Whit and Colby's 'Non Wedding' shoot by the incredible Brooke Davis. It was one of my most popular wedding features of all time, and weirdly, sparked quite a bit of debate. But to those that said it was an irrelevant shoot with no real meaning to actual brides and grooms - today I present to you Alicia and Phill. After seeing those images not only booked Brooke to shoot their elopement, but went for their very own 'Non Wedding' theme - a secret ceremony and a party in their own back garden. Inspiration is everywhere.

Elegant Rock n Roll Casino Wedding: Danny & Victoria

Danny and Victoria didn't have a grand plan or theme in mind for their wedding. They started with the colours red and purple and then simply picked things they liked - luckily it all came together brilliantly. The bride even dyed her hair purple to match!

Tina and Dave were married at The Grand Pier, Weston Super Mare. Their wedding was a colourful mix of all the things they love. "Tina and I met in the summer of 2010 on a booze cruise organised by our workplace", wrote Dave. "She arrived with her pink hair in curls wearing a 50s polka dot dress, tattoo print shoes and red lipstick. I fell in love that night."
