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.Read more...

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.Read more...

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.Read more...

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.Read more...

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.Read more...

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!Read more...

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.Read more...

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.Read more...

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.Read more...

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!Read more...

The average number of guests at a UK wedding is 89* which, although lower than it used to be (pre-COVID it was closer to 100), is still a lot of people to feed and consider the opinions of! Speaking to thousands of couples over the years, they tell us that guest-related concerns at the wedding is the number one headache-inducing issue during the planning process.Read more...
