Under the Spotlight – AriaDress

When it comes to looking for your perfect wedding dress, a lot of Rock n Roll Brides are now heading online to see if they can get their dream gown at a fraction of the price. My worry with this has always been that you might end up with a substandard 'knock off' dress that isn't of the quality that you deserve for your big day. You know what they say, "pay cheap, pay twice..." However I'm excited to say that I've found an exception to this rule! I was contacted by AriaDress a few weeks ago and I have not only been blown away but the quality of work and design that goes into every one of their bespoke gowns, but at prices significantly less than you'd expect! Can you believe you can get a dress as gorgeous as these for under $500!? I got chatting to designer Tak Hau last week about his passion, his inspiration and his love of creating simply stunning gowns for brides and bridesmaids. I hope you enjoy reading all about it. He really is a wonderfully talented man and I'm so thrilled to be showcasing his brand new Spring 2011 collection on Rock n Roll Bride

Recycled, reclaimed and ethically sourced wedding jewellery is always popular with Rock n Roll Brides but often very difficult to come across. I don't know how long I've scoured the inter-webs looking for that perfectly rustic and charmingly unique ring. However I may have just discovered the answer to all your woes!

I know you all will have heard of David's Bridal (and a lot of my American readers will have bought their dresses from them) but have you ever taken the time to check out their bridesmaid dresses? These special occasion dresses really do make perfect sense as gowns for your maids, and don't think it's not Rock n Roll to shop here! It's all about what you do with it...

Every girl (no matter how Rock n Roll!) wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day, and when a company states their reputation on making you feel just like that, no matter what your style taste, well that's got to be one worth considering. If you really want to be spoiled, then Priscilla of Boston is the designer to consider.

Under the Spotlight – Ordination by The Universal Life Church

Kat

September 14, 2010

I've always been a huge fan of weddings where friends or family members of the bride & groom get ordained and perform the ceremony for them. Can you get any more personal? For our wedding, the vicar that married us was a family friend so I know exactly how extra special it feels to have someone you know and love marry you.

Under the Spotlight – Nick Tucker Photography

Kat

July 26, 2010

Today I'm chatting to a photographer whose style is classically elegant with a fashion-led twist. Nick Tucker's unobtrusive ethos would be the perfect accompaniment to a really awesome and and Rock n Roll wedding and I just know he'd capture it in the way it truly deserves to be shown. I am a great believer that wedding photography should be beautiful and classic (as well as awesome of course!) It should echo the mood and feeling of the day and not dictate the the day in any way.

Under the Spotlight – The Sage, Gateshead

Kat

July 12, 2010

When planning our wedding I found organising the venue the most stressful. As soon as we got engaged I wanted to get the venue sorted as, really, the whole day - the theme, the style and the ambiance - anchors around the setting. For the modern, urban bride, The Sage, Gateshead could well be the answer. Set just outside of Newcastle, The Sage offers a modern and affordable way to get married in style. The venue offers 3 rooms available for wedding hire.

Have you been dreaming about having a non-boring, non-traditional wedding video? Do you like the idea of having a friend or family member filming the wedding but don't want a disappointing amature looking result? Wouldn't it be great if your friend was a professional wedding videographer!?

Under the Spotlight – Olivia Soleto Weddings

Kat

May 5, 2010

You think of a wedding and you'll pretty much straight away think of the bride. Her flowing white dress, her impeccable make up, her perfectly manicured nails and her purposely selected flowers, jewellery, shoes - the lot. However there's one lady out there who wants to change this preconception and runs her wedding planning business with the groom in the forefront. So, if you're groom doesn't glaze over when you mentioned the 'W' word or if he's wanting to get his teeth stuck into the planning as much as you, then I may well have the answer.

Under the Spotlight – Lucy Ledger Designs

April 30, 2010

One of the many pretty damn awesome things about running my blog is the amazing wedding vendors I’ve met along the way. People I wish I’d known about when planning my own wedding back in 2007/08. Luckily for you though I’m here – still as wedding obsessed as ever to share my finds with you and I think you’re going to go nuts for Lucy Ledger and her wonderful retro and kitsch stationary designs. I was lucky enough to be able to interview Lucy this week. It went a little something like this…

I really really love doing my Under the Spotlight interviews as it's great to talk about the genius behind the lens for once. Today, I'm excited to share with you Shelly of Toast of Leeds - a fabulous photographer from - you guessed it - Leeds, who blew me away with her recent Punk Bride shoot. Enjoy! Who are you and what do you do? I’m Shelly Mantovani from Toast of Leeds. I shoot people. Where are you based and what cities/countries are you available to for work in? I’m based in Yorkshire but don’t let that put you off! I love to get on a plane or a train, it forces me to read books I keep buying and never get round to finishing.

Under the Spotlight – Newell Jones & Jones Photography

Kat

March 24, 2010

Anna & Aaron of Newell Jones & Jones Photography are one of those photographic teams you'll come back to time after time. As soon as I discovered them I scoured their website almost religiously, impatient to see what they were all about. The Denver-based pair's style is quintessentially Rock n Roll - fresh with a vintage, ethereal, nostalgic, organic, soft and dreamlike feel - subtle in its execution but dramatic when seen as a whole. I adore the photographs timeless feel, which will keep your memories alive for a lifetime.
