There is a part of wedding planning that rarely makes it onto moodboards. It is not about budgets or dresses or venues. It is about waiting for grown adults to reply to a simple question and realising how strange and draining that experience can be.Read more...

Luxury is a bit of a buzzword in bridal. Brands love to slap it on their website and Instagram bio and think that means they can charge above the odds. But real luxury doesn’t shout about why it’s the best. It’s in the experience and the undefinable reason why something feels extra special.Read more...

We love a Spotify playlist, but really, nothing beats live music at a wedding. A great live musician will change how a room feels rather than just filling the silence. The key to choosing the best performers for your day is is knowing why you want them there and where they’ll actually add something. Before you start booking, there are a few essentials worth thinking about:Read more...

Getting engaged is the most exciting time. What’s less exciting is when you actually start planning the wedding and realise you might need to remortgage your house to pay for the damn thing. It’s no secret that weddings are expensive. No matter the size or style, they’re a luxury - and luxuries always come with a hefty price tag. It’s not that there are vendors lurking in the shadows waiting to rip you off. It’s just that this shit is expensive. It just is.Read more...

Alternative brides customise everything. Dresses. Accessories. Playlists. Ceremonies that make your nan raise an eyebrow. But one detail often gets forgotten, even though it hits harder than any piece of jewellery: scent. The right women's perfume doesn’t just smell good. It becomes part of your day and brings you right back to it when you smell it again afterwards.Read more...

Maximalism is finally having its moment in weddings, and nowhere is this more apparent than with flowers. Couples aren’t interested in shrinking themselves into tradition anymore. They want colour, attitude, drama and a bit of glorious chaos. Florals are the fastest way to take a blank space and turn it into something loud, expressive and unmistakably you. And with online flowers services making big ideas easier than ever to pull off, maximalist wedding florals have officially gone from “maybe one day” to “add to basket”.Read more...

Let’s be honest, no one wants another bottle opener with someone else’s initials on it. This rising trend isn’t really a favour at all; it’s something your guests will actually want to keep.Read more...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an engaged woman in possession of a good wedding plan must be a bridezilla! Well, here at Rock n Roll Bride magazine, we don’t believe in such a thing. We don’t think you’re the villain at all. We think it’s all those bossy, nosy, old-fashioned relatives who keep sticking their oar in and trying to tell you what to do! So, let me don my bonnet and ready my carriage… because I’m about to set off with you… into the land of obstinate, headstrong girls…Read more...

Planning a wedding is a massive undertaking. The venue, the decor, the guests, the reception– it can all feel like too much. And to do it all over again after losing your previous partner?

We are so excited to be having a gothic themed wedding. I am wearing black and we love skulls and Halloween! How do I find wedding suppliers who actually get the gothic vibe and won’t try to make me wear white, put my bridesmaids in blush pink or have centrepieces made of peonies?Read more...

You know that one table in your seating chart that’s kind of a wildcard? Maybe it’s your old boss with a heart of gold and opinions of fire… right next to your second cousin who, for better or for worse, always spices up family gatherings. Well. When you’re wedding planning, your mixed emotions are all sitting at that hodgepodge table in your mind. And some of them? You definitely don’t remember giving a plus one (rude!) But there they all are, in their creative cocktail finest.Read more...

New York Bridal Fashion Week has wrapped, and this season it was all about reimagining the bridal rules (something we are, of course, a huge fan of at Rock n Roll Bride!) One thing stood out to us the most: the next generation of brides are more focused on self-expression, comfort, and the meaning behind their choices. The biggest shift? Texture, tactility, and detail took centre stage. Designers are crafting gowns that feel alive with things like pleats, layers, feathers and even sculpture. There was pleasing amount of colour too! The modern nearlywed isn’t content with a plain white dress. She wants depth. She wants movement. She wants to feel something.Read more...

After you pick your wedding date and location, one of the first things you’re going to want to do is put together a wedding website. Traditional paper invites are awesome (we’re obviously huge fans of print at Rock n Roll Bride!) but having something online will make it SUPER easy for your guests to get all the vital info they might need before your big day.Read more...

For over 18 years, Rock n Roll Bride has existed to celebrate creativity, individuality, and honesty in weddings. We’ve never chased trends or played the popularity game, and we never will. This manifesto is our line in the sand, what we stand for, what we promise you and what we stand against. As the world feels like its going even more mad, as the wedding industry gets even more expensive to work in and be a couple in, we felt it was a good time to remind you exactly what we do - and don't - stand for.Read more...

The wedding industry can feel like a secret club with its own language. You start out thinking you’re just booking a photographer or buying a dress, then suddenly you’re knee-deep in terms like editorial coverage, flatlays, and off-the-rack lead times. It can be very confusing!Read more...

At some point in your wedding planning journey, it probably hit you: the internet lied. Not maliciously, maybe, but persistently. It told you a wedding had to look a certain way - curated, coordinated, colour-coded to the Pantone shade of the year. That the tablecloths mattered. That the signage had to rhyme. That you needed eight matching friends in identical outfits standing behind you or the whole thing didn’t count.Read more...

The boho wedding dress market has a problem. What started as a celebration of free-spirited, unconventional style has become just as formulaic as the traditional bridal it was supposed to rebel against.Read more...

Wedding planning messes with your brain. Even if you’re the most laid-back human alive, your subconscious will still find ways to throw curveballs at 3am. Don’t panic: pre-wedding dreams aren’t omens, they’re just your nervous system running dress rehearsals for all the big stuff - love, money, family, visibility, identity. Basically, your brain is binge-screening your anxieties like it’s Netflix.Read more...
