Rock n Roll Bride Magazine Issue 68: Start With What Actually Matters

Kat

April 30, 2026

There’s nothing like a wedding to bring your core values sharply into focus. You start by thinking about dresses and flowers and end up asking yourself much deeper questions: Why does my father ‘giving me away’ not sit right with me? How do we know if our suppliers are actually supportive of our queer relationship? Does it make me a ‘bridezilla’ to be specific about what we want our day to look like? It can hit you like an unexpected steam train and can be a lot harder to navigate than finding the perfect outfit. But it’s also where Rock n Roll Bride magazine is really here to help! We will show you all the awesome alt dress ideas and unique florals while also hitting you with the answers to all your big, existential questions.

Rock n Roll Bride Magazine Issue 67: The Freedom to Be Yourself For Your Wedding

Kat

March 1, 2026

If there’s one thing Rock n Roll Bride magazine will always champion, it’s the permission and freedom to be yourself on your wedding. So, an issue dedicated to freedom felt like a beautiful way to embody that. Freedom shows up in different ways for different people. Sometimes it looks bold and visible. Sometimes it’s just in the small, personal choices that you make. It can mean setting boundaries, changing your mind, opting out of expectations, or simply remembering to trust your own taste and instincts. This issue is about all of that.

Of Colour and Hue

January 2, 2026

tradition around here which feels ironic for a brand that exists to question tradition at every turn. But here we are. Whether you got engaged over the festive period, or you’ve been engaged for a while and the arrival of a new year has finally made you get your arse in gear and start thinking about this whole wedding thing properly, we’re really glad you found us.

Rock n Roll Bride Magazine Issue 66: So, You’re Engaged… Now What!?

Kat

January 1, 2026

You’re engaged! Cue the confetti, the group chats, the congratulations… and all the questions. When’s the wedding? Who’s invited? Have you picked a dress? What’s your colour scheme? It’s wild how quickly the magic of that “just engaged” moment can turn into a to-do list. Suddenly everyone has an opinion on what your wedding should be. This issue is your reminder that there’s no rulebook you have to follow - and if there were, we’d probably set it on fire anyway.

Rock n Roll Bride Magazine Issue 65: Rage Against the (Wedding) Machine

Kat

October 30, 2025

Weddings have always been marketed as the pinnacle of romance, but let’s be real: the industry runs on capitalism. The “perfect day” is a product, and you’re the target audience. Big venues, luxury brands, endless upsells… you know the script. What you don’t hear often enough is that you don’t have to play along.

Rock n Roll Bride Magazine Issue 64: Welcome to the Dark Side (We Have Weddings)

Kat

September 1, 2025

Some of us were born to wear black. We were the weird kids, the eyeliner-in-year-eight kids, the ones listening to Evanescence while everyone else was into N-Dubz. If that was you too, you’ll know that darkness is where we find our power.

Rock n Roll Bride Issue 63: Because Your Wedding Still Matters

Kat

July 1, 2025

Do you ever feel like yelling “stop the world, I want to get off?” Same. Between the relentless scroll of bad news, the cost-of-living chaos, and the pressure to somehow still pull off a ‘timeless wedding’ (can this trend just f-off already, thanks) with matching signage and a seven-tier cake, it’s enough to make even the most chill couple want to elope into the sea. But here’s the thing: your wedding still matters. Even (especially) when the world feels heavy.

Rockstar Vendors: The Alternative Wedding Directory That Doesn’t Suck For Everyone Involved

Kat

May 15, 2025

One of the questions we get asked the most is: “How do I find this sort of supplier for my wedding?” And yeah, we get it. While we might feature real wedding stories almost every day, linking to the suppliers in the article and tagging the suppliers on social media, you’re busy. You’ve got a million tabs open, and you don’t have time to sift through endless Google results or scroll past 100 pages of chair cover ads. You want answers and you want them fast.

Behind the Scenes of the Rock n Roll Bride Rebrand: Why We Did This

Kat

May 2, 2025

When Rock n Roll Bride first launched, it wasn’t just about weddings - it was about rebellion. It was about creating a space where love didn’t come with rules or limits. It was about standing against what we didn’t like when we planned our own wedding (way back in 2007!) - the elitism, the unnecessary expense, the cookie cutter way of just doing things because someone says you “have to”. Over the years, we’ve broken traditions, championed individuality, and built an incredible community of weirdos, outsiders, and people who felt the same. But over time, something started to feel… off.

Rock n Roll Bride Issue 62: We’ve Got a Hot New Look!

Kat

May 1, 2025

WAKE UP, we have news! No, your eyes do not deceive you: Rock n Roll Bride has a hot new look! This change has been a long time coming (we've had our previous branding since we started the magazine in 2015!) and we could not be more thrilled with how it turned out! Another big change is that from now on, every issue of the magazine will be limited edition. It's a more sustainable approach that means we will only need to print what is actually being ordered. The difference to you is that you will now need to pre-order yours when they drop (or subscribe) to guarantee getting a copy.

Issue 61: Florals, for Spring? Groundbreaking

Kat

February 26, 2025

Flowers are great but let’s be honest, when it comes to weddings, floral trends can sometimes feel like they’ve been done to death. In this industry, trends tend to stick around for a while, and we’ve seen it all: lush moss and greenery dominating one season, dried flowers or bright pops of monochromatic colour taking over the next. There was even the surge of faux florals and reusing what we already had, such as houseplants, when budgets tightened during the pandemic.

Celebrating a Decade in Print!

Kat

January 9, 2025

I can’t quite believe we've reached a whole decade of Rock n Roll Bride in print! What started as a blog to document my own wedding (back in 2008!) evolved into a yearly print annual, then was taken over by a major publishing company while we launched the bi-monthly version. I quickly realised I liked being my own boss too much though so that didn’t last long – I’m proud to say this has been a self-funded, self-published, completely independent magazine since mid-2015!

December 26, 2024

Wake up babes! It may be Boxing Day but the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY edition of Rock n Roll Bride magazine just dropped! When we launched the first bi-monthly issue in January 2015, NEVER, EVER could I have imagined that we'd get here! I'll be sharing more about the journey we've had soon, but this is just your reminder to pre-order your copy of issue 60.

Issue 59: DIY Wedding Special – Design Your Dream ‘I Dos’

Kat

October 26, 2024

Anyone can have a beautiful wedding if they have an endless budget, but only when you have less to spend do you truly have to flex those creative muscles. Creativity on a budget has always been our jam; we’ve championed a DIY, ‘you-centric’ approach to wedding planning since the inception of our magazine. But – can you believe it? – we’ve never actually had a fully DIY-focused edition! It is time to remedy that immediately.

Issue 58: Express Yourself – Create a Wedding That’s All About You

Kat

August 26, 2024

Rock n Roll Bride has ALWAYS been about encouraging you to have a wedding that truly reflects who you are, to choose and do things that feel right for the two of you, and to ignore the rest. This sentiment has deepened in recent years with the increasing awareness and conversations around gender. It’s certainly something I’ve learned a lot about and continue to strive to be more aware of. This was our inspiration for the newest edition of Rock n Roll Bride magazine, which is available for pre-order now (they will start shipping on July 3rd). You can order just this single issue or subscribe here.

Issue 57 – Vibrant Vows: Colourful Celebrations for Creative Couples

Kat

June 26, 2024

An issue dedicated to colour was well overdue, so when we were invited to Las Vegas by P3 Events to shoot the editorial for this edition to celebrate the opening of their new downtown wedding chapel, we knew we needed to go neon. Hot, sexy pink and eye-gauging green are such an unusual combination for a wedding but I think you’ll agree it absolutely, definitely works!
