n Roll Bride Live has just taken place. It was a truly fantastic day, full of the most incredible suppliers, couples and speakers. The energy in the room was electric. People whooped, cheered and cried during the talks. There were tarot readings, people doing nail art and the queue for the photo booth went half way cross the room.Read more...

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.Read more...

Bethnal Green's Town Hall Hotel is a real hidden gem. From the original art deco interiors, the dramatic marble staircases, original wooden panelled rooms and their very own ceremony chambers, its the perfect spot for the wedding of East London-loving urban dwellers. The entire place has been sympathetically restored in its original art deco finery so stepping through those grand front doors really is a little bit like stepping back in time.Read more...

Going to your first wedding show can be a daunting experience. However, if you’re properly prepared and you go in with an open mind they are really, really fun! One of my very favourite alternative wedding shows is The Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza which is taking place on March 16th & 17th in Birmingham. I’ll be there signing books and showcasing our brand-new veil collection with Crown and Glory (it’s the only wedding show you’ll be able to see these beauties in-person this season) so I hope to see lots of your beautiful faces there!Read more...

I’m not gonna lie, one of the first things I thought about after getting my book deal last year was organising a kick ass party to celebrate its eventual release (#priorities). I really just wanted an excuse for a good old knee’s up and to get all of my favourite people in one room to drink and dance the night away. And oh boy, did we!Read more...

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.Read more...

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...Read more...

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!Read more...

Small business owners listen up! Did you know that you're 35% more likely to be outperformed by competitors if your business is not diverse?* Which is why I am so honoured/ excited/ exhilarated to be the key note speaker at Catalyst Wedding Co.'s {Un}Convention conference, an event dedicated to building community for equality-minded wedding professionals.

For the third season running, the Rock n Roll Bride Collection is coming to The National Wedding Show and today I want to tell you all about it! For those of you that don't know, last year we partnered with the UKs largest wedding fair to bring something altogether more alternative and eclectic into the mix. Not only is a visit to the show a rite of passage for any discerning bride-to-be, but now even alt babes can find ideas and suppliers that they'll want to use for their wedding!Read more...

Last week Gareth and I were invited to Urban Retreat, the spa in Harrods, to have their unique hammam experience and it was so weird/ awesome/ relaxing/ fun that I thought I'd share it with you! I also think it would be a super fun pre-wedding treat for either you and your fiance, or with a gaggle of hens. They even offer bridal and hen do packages too!Read more...

As much as I adore Marrakech (this recent trip was my third in two years!) it can be a very intimating and intense place. People yelling at you, motorbikes whizzing past you in narrow alleyways, donkeys pulling carts that look way too heavy for them, old men pushing enormous trailers full of everything imaginable... and all in 40°C+ heat! It's chaotic and buzzing all day and all night which is why having a calm oasis to retreat back to at the end of a long day isn't just advisable, it's a necessity!Read more...
