Maya and Collin chose Halloween season as the backdrop for their wedding. They kicked things off with a trip to Halloween Horror Nights, and wanted a day that was part goth, part fall harvest, part Day of the Dead. "We were thinking spooky romantic", Maya said. Their florist, The Little Branch pulled their styling ideas together with dark plums, branches, moss, and skulls. The look felt old-world and atmospheric without needing much direction.

When Iris and Zack started planning their wedding, it was of the utmost importance that they played homage to the bride's Mexican heritage, so they chose November 2nd (Dia de Muertos/ Day of the Dead) as their wedding date. It's something they celebrate every year anyway so having their wedding on that date seemed entirely fitting.

Although Gina and Mark's autumn wedding included some seasonal details - skulls, pumpkins etc - most of all they wanted their day to reflect them. They included their love of Mexico (and Mexican food!) and DIYed a-plenty to make their day feel their own

Daniela and Thomas's wedding day was a mixture of Rock n Roll, psychobilly and Dia De Los Muertos, which the bride describes as a "Happy, loud and without any conventions" kind of day. They had 'first look' photos taken and also stopped in at an Oreo pop-up store on their way to the ceremony, which was held in an old circus tent! Their reception party was in a rockabilly club in the middle of Berlin where they had a live band playing so it was like a gig - they first met at a psychobilly concert in the bride's hometown of Munich, so this was a lovely nod to that.

One of the most frequent things you'll hear on Rock n Roll Bride is to have the day YOU want, one that incorporates anything and everything you love: your day, your way. Holly and David, who married in the spring at Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel, did exactly that with not just one or two motifs, but more like four! And why not - I mean, just look at their wonderful day and the sea of smiles!

Mel and Lee met through mutual friends at a car show in 2010. They got talking about their cars and that was it! They wanted their wedding to reflect their day-to-day style and interests so, although Day of the Dead was their underlying theme, as far as everything else went, if they liked it they put it in the wedding! The end result was a Mexican fiesta, meets Day of the Dead, meets rockabilly wedding.

Amber and Chris were married in October and took inspiration for their wedding from Amber's vintage skull engagement ring. They wanted their wedding to feel old worldly, and described their wedding theme as a 'Memento Mori Romance'. Roughly translated, 'Memento Mori' means 'remember you must die' and Memento Mori jewellery was given to loved ones to remind them that life is fleeting so to live each day to the fullest.

Although they got married on Halloween, Charlie and Chris decided they wanted their wedding to have a different feel to most themed Halloween weddings. With the groom's father being from South America, a Day of the Dead theme made way more sense. "Chris’ dad is South American and he’s always loved day of the dead", explained the bride. "We both absolutely love autumn with all its vibrant copper tones and Halloween is our favourite holiday. We always celebrate it in a big way so it was an obvious choice for our wedding. We also wanted the whole thing to reflect my heritage too so the Asian influence throughout our venue, The Matara Centre, was really important."

Robert and Katy's Scottish wedding was themed around lots of different things but skulls and 80s movies played a big part! "The wedding theme turned out to be a bit eclectic, with elements Robert loved like 80s films (they were our table names), a pork pie wedding cake and elements that had a slightly gothic feel such as a skull centrepiece at the head table and 'til death do us part' favour boxes."

Juliana and Forrest were married at the bride's parent's home in California in October. Their inspiration was the time of year, so they had Halloween and Day of the Dead references mixed in with other things they both love such as the theatre and music from the 1920s-40s. They also wanted to play homage to their Latin heritage.
