Think Beyond the Wedding Favour: Personalise Your Wedding with My M&M’s®
June 11, 2018
Wedding favours get a bad rap but they are a great way to personalise your wedding tables. M&M's offer an amazing personalisation service, where you can choose the colours of the chocolates to match your theme and then add a logo, phrase or even a photo to the top of them! I obviously had to try it out and I think our logo looks so cute on the pink M&Ms. Even Gareth was like "Oooh these have our logo on them!" when he saw them. Crowd pleaser all round.Read more...

The First Bridal Collection from Collectif: Wedding Dresses for Under £70!
April 6, 2018
One of the thing I'm most proud of with Rock n Roll Bride is our position to encourage brides to do whatever they want for their wedding. We're not in the habit of passing judgement on who you marry, how you marry, and definitely not on how you spend your money. Want to drop £3000 on an incredible designer gown? Do it! Prefer to get something handmade by an independent British designer to your exact specifications? You go girl! Or maybe you're the kind of babe who wants to run out to the high street and grab the first dress that takes your fancy? This is your wedding and you do it your way!Read more...
A Brand New Way To Honeymoon: Blind Experiences
March 30, 2018
Now I don't know about you, but when I book a holiday I LOVE to research everything: All the best places to eat, the sites to see, and find out what the weather will be like so I know what to bring. Gareth, on the other hand, tends to leave packing to the last possible second, and doesn't like to do much research, preferring to be surprised when he arrives somewhere. But what if I told you you could go on a holiday with your partner and BOTH know nothing about where you were going or what you were doing until you got there? Introducing: Blind Experiences - a brand new way of holidaying!Read more...
OMEDELBAR from IKEA: Gothic Meets Hollywood Glamour for your Home!
March 1, 2018
There are two great life lessons I've learnt since embarking on our renovation project: Everything will take 1716 times longer than you hoped it would, and IKEA is basically brilliant. OK so I knew the latter already, but when you have people coming around for your first attempt at hosting Christmas Eve and you realise that morning that you haven't got enough chairs for everyone... Well let's just say I thank those Swedish home gods everyday that they decided to open a branch in Reading.Read more...

Why You Should Have a Wedding Website
January 12, 2018
Setting up your own wedding website (or "wedsite" for short) is pretty much a must-do for today's technologically-savvy couples. You might think it's a little narcissistic or TMI to create a webpage specifically to talk about your wedding, but they're actually really useful for your guests too.Read more...

Affordable Bridesmaid Dresses Your Girls Will Actually Love
January 3, 2018
Finding that one perfect wedding dress can be a stressful task. There are so many shapes, styles and colours to consider. So is it any wonder that finding a single bridesmaid dress that four, five (or more!) of your best girls will all love equally can be an almost impossible task. Not only do you have their different tastes, styles and body shapes to consider, but the costs can really add up too. Stress City, population: YOU.Read more...

Enter a Magical Shoe Heaven Wonderland: Irregular Choice on Carnaby Street
November 25, 2017
"There's a magical place, we're on our way there With shoes in their millions all under one roof..." Seriously, Irregular Choice should totally steal the Toys 'R Us theme tune because never has anything more accurate been written about how I felt walking into their flagship store. Last week I was invited by their head office to go visit the Carnaby Street shop and pick out some pretties to take home with me! Well, they didn't have to ask me twice.Read more...

November 22, 2017
The guest list/ invitation/ RSVP process is arguably one of the most stress-inducing parts of planning a wedding. Whether its the costs involved, the general logistics or the fact that people seem incapable of RSVPing on time... its enough to turn the coolest cucumber of a bride into a raging monster.Read more...
Five Regrets You’ll Have If You Don’t Have a Gift List
November 17, 2017
If you're one of the growing number of couples that opt not to have a wedding gift list, did you know you'll actually be missing out on more than just the 'stuff'? I suspect most people that don't have them either think they already have everything they need or they don't want to appear 'rude'. Now I don't like to be a Negative Nancy, or the voice of impending doom, but I do think that if you forgo a gift list you will regret it. Here's why:Read more...
Find The Perfect Wedding Band Without Ever Leaving Your Sofa
November 13, 2017
Picking a wedding band that you know you're going to love can be tricky. While all the experts recommend you do as much research as possible and try to go see your potential band play before you book them, we all know that's not always practical for a busy bride and/ or groom-to-be!Read more...

If there's one thing that makes a wedding go off more than anything else, its the right music.

Their aim is to make the job of compiling your perfect wedding playlist much easier - and it's totally free to use!Read more...
Eternal Beauty from the Inside Out AKA How I Transformed my Bleach Damaged Hair
November 3, 2017
Around five years ago, after way too much abuse from DIY bleaching, my hair was in a bad place. It was dry and brittle and wouldn’t grow past my shoulders before breaking off. Naturally, my hairdresser wasn’t impressed and helped me to see the damage I was doing to it through over-bleaching. If you’re partial to a splash of unnatural colour in your hair the chances are you can totally relate to this problem.Read more...
