It is looking like February and March this year are shaping up to be some of the busiest two months I've ever had because we are hitting the road and exhibiting at no less than FIVE wedding fairs in seven weeks! Oh lord, please help me.

I usually do an introduction type post at the start of every year, where I tell you who I am and show you around the blog... just like a digital tour guide. But this year, my TENTH as a wedding blogger, I thought it would be fun to try something new.

If you've been reading Rock n Roll Bride for a while, you'll know how important I think having a great wedding photographer is. You may also have seen how devastating it can be when it all goes wrong and the photos someone ends up with are either really terrible or, in some truly awful cases, never delivered at all.

To get the best wedding photographs it's important that you and your photographer communicate. Disappointment is almost always a result of both parties expectations not being well aligned beforehand. As well as letting them know what you want, it’s also really important to listen to their advice and to trust their expertise.

How to Get Married in Las Vegas

August 22, 2016

There are always a lot of questions in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group about getting married in Vegas - how to do it, if its legal when you're not from the US, recommendations for suppliers that will do a good job... So I thought a post going through all the ins and outs of the process would be helpful. In the interests of keeping things simple, I'm going to write this in a Q&A format. If you still have questions after reading this article, or you have any of your own advice or recommendations, feel free to pop them in the comments!

Dear Kat, I’d love some advice on how to get my fiancé more involved in the wedding planning without being accused of harassing him or being a bridezilla!? Essentially, I want to know how we can make it fun for both of us and not appear to be a chore. I’m happy doing most of the organising, but when it comes to the stuff I can’t really do (such as his suit) or things I need his input on (the guest list, the music, the food) he just rolls his eyes, huffs and gets annoyed! Help!

My favourite kinds of articles to publish are the ones where I can give some really practice wedding planning advice. It was the kind of content I really craved when I was organising our own wedding because wedding magazines didn't ever seem to delve any deeper than "How to choose the right wedding dress for your shape" and "10 things he does that proves he really loves you" (give me strength!)

I’m a Bridesmaid & I’ve Been Asked to Dye My Hair & Lose Weight For the Wedding…

Kat

Rhapsody Road

December 3, 2015

Hi Kat My best friend is getting married really soon and I'm a bridesmaid. She has asked me to dye my hair dark brown or black, and to lose 10kgs for the wedding. Now I know that may not seem like a big deal but since leaving high school I have always channelled my personality into my hair. I've had pink hair for the last five years and switch it up occasionally with purple, blue, or green. I really don't want to have my hair coloured darker as its such a pain in the ass to go through the whole bleaching process again. Am I being over sensitive? Or is the bride's word the law? As for the weight loss I understand she wants me to look thin in the pictures, but I like the weight and body shape I have now. I feel like if she knew me and loved me she'd accept the way I look and the way I am. This is seriously stressing me out and making me quite depressed. Any advice?

When you get engaged, inevitably your mind quickly becomes encompassed by things such as guest lists and table plans, dresses and shoes, flowers and cake. Of course all of these things are important to pulling off a beautiful wedding, but what are you doing to make sure you pull off an even more beautiful marriage?
