Your wedding stationery should get you excited. As creators of a print magazine, we think there’s something so extra special about seeing something beautifully designed and printed rather than just in a digital format, and your wedding stationery is no different. Sure, you could just sent a group WhatsApp, or invite people to a Facebook group, but where’s the magic in that?!

If you’re looking for something to truly knock your guests’ socks off (after all it will be the first thing they see to give them an indication of what your wedding day will be like) then look no further than these companies, who are all offering something really unique with their super cool creations.

There is a huge misconception that the wedding world is a money-hungry, price-jacking, unscrupulous industry dominated by big companies who are just out to swindle you out of your hard earned cash. And while, yes, there are plenty of big businesses around, they’re not in the majority.

Almost exclusively, here at Rock n Roll Bride we champion the small, independent brands. These brands are run by people who who love being creative, who love their clients and who are lucky enough to earn a living doing something that enjoy. These businesses care about their customers and the quality of their products because their work is a reflection of them.

If you want to support small business and work with wedding suppliers who truly understand your vision for your wedding day outfit, then look no further. Here are six of our favourite independent bridal designers.
