Kat

January 27, 2026

Going to a wedding fair is a bit of rite of passage when you get engaged. There are some incredible ones (and, let’s be honest, some not-so-great ones), and it can be quite confusing to know which ones are going to be worth your time as an alt couple. But fret not, we are here to help. Avoid the big, bland, corporate shows and check out these little beauties instead!

We’ve had a lot of you sliding into our DMs lately asking, “When’s the next Rock n Roll Bride Live?” And the honest answer is... not this year. We’re hitting pause on our own show in 2025 to focus on other projects (and maybe catch our breath - turns out producing a wedding fair is a lot). BUT we’ve got some juicy news, especially for our European readers: instead of hosting our own event, we’re heading to the Lobsters for Life Wedding Fair in the Netherlands this October! Yep, you heard that right - Rock n Roll Bride is going continental!

New York Bridal Week, Spring 2025: Why Wedding Trends Are Fun (But You Don’t Have to Care)

Kat

April 14, 2025

Wedding trends are not really our thing. We’ve always been of the opinion that they’re fun to look at, but they’re not gospel. Trends should inspire, but not to dictate, what you do for your wedding.

Going to a wedding fair is a rite of passage when you get engaged. There are some incredible ones (and, let’s be honest, some not-so-great ones!), so we’re here to help you figure out which ones are truly worth checking out! And before you ask—we don’t have a date for the next Rock n Roll Bride Live just yet. So, if you’re tying the knot this year, these fairs are definitely worth a visit!

Much like with regular fashion weeks, bridal fashion weeks take place twice yearly all over the world. New York Bridal Fashion Week has got to be one of the best, and we were so thrilled to attend the Fall 2024 presentations. From catwalk shows to private viewings, drinks receptions to brand-new boutique openings, we certainly got our steps in!

With 200 attendees, 25 exhibitors, 10 inspiring speakers and three packed-out workshops…this wasn’t a wedding show – it was so much more than that! Our attendees flew in from Austria, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and came from all over the UK to descend on Hackney Town Hall for a magical day of connection, inspiration and making new best friends.

A Jewellery Making Party with Tatty Devine!

Kat

October 12, 2017

I have been a massive fan of Tatty Devine ever since I discovered them as a teenager. I dreamed of one day being able to adorn myself daily with all their pretty plastic creations. That love affair has continued well into adulthood and the Tatty pieces I own will forever be some of my ultimate faves. So when the babes at Tatty Devine got in contact to ask if I wanted to visit their Brick Lane store to do a Halloween themed jewellery making workshop it felt like all my Christmasses had come at once.

If you've been following the blog for a while you'll know that for the last couple of years we've done a LOT of wedding fairs. They're super fun (I will ALWAYS love meeting you guys!) but also super exhausting. So this year we've decided to just do ONE and that one is, in my humble opinion, the best one out there - the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza in Birmingham! So why is it so great? We'll I'm glad you asked...

Did you know that Lush do private parties after hours? I know right, how amazing is that!? When I made this discovery I knew I had to find an excuse to book one, and Sophie's hen do a couple of weeks ago was the perfect opportunity!

We've done a lot of wedding shows this past year and its one of my favourite things. I love getting out of the office, meeting you guys, seeing what other wedding suppliers are offering, swooning over pretty dresses...

Which is why I am thrilled to let you all know that Rock n Roll Bride and Crown and Glory (we come as a package deal now it would seem!) will be taking part in the London A Most Curious Wedding Fair next Spring!
