Ru and Matt's wedding perfectly reflected them. The bride wore a striking Jenny Packham dress with messy, boho hair and they both had their tattoos proudly on display! Their epic cake played homage to their favourite 80s movie, Lost Boys, and they used lots of deep colours in the flowers and decor to show their love of all things Moroccan.

Traditional Meets Modern Rock n Roll Wedding

Kat

Bridgwood Wedding

October 19, 2015

There were parts of Becky and Stewart's wedding that were traditional - the grand manor house, the toastmaster, the order of the day, and others that couldn't have been more Rock n Roll. The bride wore an incredible blush pink wedding dress and veil, their portraits featured smokebombs, and there were nods to their mutual love of music throughout. This wedding goes to prove that you can intertwine the wedding traditions that you like with the alternative elements that you crave and it will still totally work!

Five Reasons Why Our Wedding Entertainment Sucked (& How You Can Avoid Doing the Same)

Kat

October 7, 2015

There's very little I would fundamentally change about our wedding. Sure, the styling would be very different if Gareth and I were to get married now, but in terms of how the day played out, it was petty much faultless. Except for one big thing - our entertainment. Having never booked a live band before in my life, I had no idea what we were looking for. So when a friend of my mother's said she went to a wedding recently where the band we're "great" and they came in under the budget we'd set aside for them, I was sold. "Easy", I thought, "that's another thing ticked off our ridiculously long to do list."

Steven Dray

September 4, 2015

Nicole and Steve were married at Stage AE, a concert venue in downtown Pittsburgh. Getting married at a venue as iconic as this obviously had a huge influence on the theme of the wedding! "Music has always been a big part of our relationship", said the bride. "We wanted our family and friends to share in that important aspect of our life together, which is why we chose Stage AE. We faced many objections and difficulties with such an unconventional wedding venue, but we knew what we wanted and were determined to make it happen."

Matt Ethan

March 6, 2015

There's something ever so special about a retro themed wedding. The timelessness yet quirkiness always lights me up! Alex and Sean clearly feel the same because they had a gorgeous throwback bash in October at Whalton Village Hall.

"As an artist, Lor loves colour, and since this is part of her job she was keen to take care of the décor herself". began the groom. "She did the invitations and the entire venue set up. I play and sing in a Rock n Roll band so we also wanted an element of Rock n Roll in the day."
