Wedding

Garden Rose

Kat

June 30, 2009

I have something to say and it may be shocking to some of you...I don't 'get' Martha Stewart...what is they fascination? I'm just as crafty as the next geek but something about her repulses me just a little bit. Maybe it's because the first time I ever heard of her was when she went to jail (I'm in the UK, not Mars by the way) or because whenever I catch her on Wedding TV (yes I am that sad...) I feel inclined to run away. I mean, she's not very rock n roll is she? However, I just saw this wedding on her ridiculously kitch (although it pains me to know it's not even in an ironic way) wedding website, and despite the source this wedding is so uber gorgeous that I have to share the love. John & Lily married in Lily's parent's back garden which had great sentimental value for the couple. Lily's beautiful bouquet was made of bridal garden roses, dahlias, orchids, lily of the valley, jasmine, sweetpeas, and scented geranium, all tied together with a cute blue ribbon. She also ordered some custom Liberty fabric clutches for her Bridesmaids, each designed to fit the individual girl's personality. Clicky here for more images and info, and let me know - am I the only wedding obsessive that doesn't love the Stewart?

Polka Dot Bride

Kat

June 30, 2009

When Leslie & Steve got married they decided to all kick it with their Converse trainers (that's Chucks to you guys in the States), even the Bride got in on the action, rocking her green trainers under her beyond awesome polka dot dress (I am still waiting to find out where she got it from, don't worry I will let you know when I do!) The theme was glorious green which really brightened up an otherwise cold winter wedding.

A Vintage Masterpiece

Kat

If Ginny & Ed's vintage wedding isn't featured on every wedding blog out there I will eat my..well, hat. Does photographer Josh Goleman get the best clients or what?! Remember these guys for example? Yep...amazing! Although my automatic reaction is usually to be against the idea of asking guests to dress as per the theme of your wedding, I have to admit the effect of everyone vintaged-up together is phenomonal to say the least. I am literally dying of excitement to share these!

For Those About To Rock…

Kat

June 29, 2009

With a rock star Groom like Jeremy would you expect anything less than a wedding like this? The couple choose an awesome venue and had live music a go go! They walked down the aisle to Led Zeppelin and had friends playing an acoustic set during their ‘cocktail lounge’. The speeches sound like they were somewhat epic, with Alison’s brother even getting everyone shout “For those about to rock, we salute you" at the end of his toast! Jeremy’s parents rapped during their speech and Alison’s dad sang for his. For favours the couple made a ‘Rock Star Survival Kit’ including a custom guitar pick, a shot glass and bubble gum. The couple also got their wedding rings engraved with the words ‘you rock’ on his, and ‘you rule’ on hers (made by The Devil’s Workshop)…definitely not the usual soppy stuff! Alison’s dress was by Alfred Angelo, her hair piece by Etsy seller, GG Designs and her gorgeous bouquet & Jeremy’s boutonniere were made by Princess Lasertron.

Hat, Park, Dog!

Kat

June 29, 2009

I think this wedding is quite different to the style I usually favour, but I still love it! The hat reminds me of going to English weddings where all the ladies wear big adornments on their heads. Photographer Courtney, described this day to me: Megan and Norm were married on May 30, 2009 at Willow Park in Louisville, Ky. That had no attendants, except for their "ring dog" Misha. Megan didn't opt for traditional hand-held bouquet instead chose to compliment her outfit with a huge, gorgeous hat. The Bride and Groom opted to accent their wedding with fleur-de-lis, a symbol of Louisville. While the guests noshed away on vegetarian friendly fare, trashcans were adorned with signs informing everyone that all the serving ware was fully biodegradable. The music before the ceremony and during the ceremony was provided by local musician friends, and the guests danced during the reception to the musical stylings of a ragtime band, Rascals of Ragtyme.

A Broke Ass Wedding

June 28, 2009

After posting Dana (of The Broke Ass Bride fame) & Hunter's awesome 'Fresh Hubby of LA' wedding video I thought I was done. I saw their phenomenal photographs by Dan of Chennergy (who shot their wedding for free!) but decided to not share them straight away as I assumed photography as fantastic as this would pop up on all the wedding blogs. However it seems that maybe everybody else had the same idea as me, and while I've seen their video everywhere I look their photographs seem to have fallen to the wayside maybe just a little bit. That, my friends, is a travesty of utmost proportions. These must be seen and adored. Enjoy! Credit: Chennergy curtosy of The Broke Ass Bride

Princeton Wedding

Kat

June 27, 2009

Sara & Matthew have sent me their wedding along with 150 of their favourite images from the day – and nope you didn’t read that wrong! While this may be slightly over the top I have to say it is indeed a rather fabulous wedding The couple had their ceremony at an old brick house under a huge tree with a few leaves missing where they hung bird cages to tie in their bird theme. They had their portraits at Princeton University and then headed to their reception at a Brewery and instead of the usual champagne reception, the couple served samples of local beer! Sara’s dress was Selena by Maggie Sottero and her Bridesmaids were by Niteline. The Bride embarked on a DIY frenzy making the ring bearer pillows, the table numbers, the aisle decor along with the tree and the flower centrepieces themselves – phew!

Til Death

Kat

June 27, 2009

Jessie & Cat clearly love tattoos and even got matching skull & crossbones tats with the words 'Til Death' across their hearts - sweet! I am crazy in love with the baby Converse trainers used as a cake topper too, what a fabulous idea that is. Thanks to Molly for these - I will be sharing more of her weddings soon!

Rock Stars By Name Rock Stars By Nature

June 26, 2009

Alysha & Javi are one of those couples that just sound so rock n roll that I wouldn't expect anything less then a wedding just like this one.What is so great though is that despite the rock n roll persona, this wedding still has so many gorgeous and super personal touches. The car that took them to their wedding was actually the car they had their first date in and all the flowers were based on the same arrangements the Bride's Grandmother had at her wedding. The Bridesmaids look awesome in their sexy black jumpers and pencil skirt combo and the Bride looks seriously amazing..and her shoes..oh the shoes! They are by Betsey Johnson and are just gorgeous! Thanks to photographer Shannon for sending me these. I will catch you all tomorrow (or on Twitter later, I am crazy addicted!), have you entered the contest yet? There is always space for you!

Outdoorsy, Shabby Chic Gorgeousness

Kat

June 26, 2009

I am slightly reluctant to say this is one of my favourite, rustic, outdoorsy, shabby chic weddings ever as I seem to be saying things like that a lot..but I kinda can't help it. I adore every single details about this wedding, from the cute (almost kitch!) Mr&Mrs balloons to the Bride's stunning dress and shoes (shoes from Nordstrom, details on the dress to come once the couple get back from Honeymoon!) These will be popular with you all I'm sure of it. Sarah Yates you rocked this photography, thanks so much for all the sharing!

The Grass Is Always Greener

I am all about the love for this green wedding. The flowers, the cake, the Bridesmaid dresses and the umbrella (are umbrellas thethe new balloons!?) are just awesome and so so cute. I am particularly loving how the colour pops up in a load of different shades, don't be afraid to mix and match your colour tones, this wedding proves it looks absolutely fabulous.

Angelica Glass is one of those photographers that I wishI'd known about when we were planning our own wedding! Her style is so fresh and modern and she always makes her subjects look so flawless and model-like. Her attention to detail is beyond fabulous, there is something about the way she shoots these extreme close ups that just make everything pop! Well this post has turned into a bit of an Angelica love-fest right? What I was meaning to do was to share this new gorgeous wedding with you...the details from those sparkly blue Christian Louboutin shoes to the custom invitations, from the unique flowers to the Monique Lhuillier wearing Bride's awesome tattoos - everything is totally rock n roll fabulous, and the couple most definitely could be rock stars themselves! Oh... and the cake, and the Bridesmaid dresses, and the moustaches, and the Polaroid photo booth, and the fact the Bride is quite literally model-perfect... Smitten doesn't even cover it.

Nautical But Nice

Kat

June 24, 2009

Canadian photographer Tara McMullen told me all about this gorgeous day: Keira + Joe were married on June 13, 2009 on Algonquin Island in downtown Toronto, Ontario. The special part about the Island is that it is car-free and inhabited by just a small group of "Islanders" who live in the fewer then 300 homes on the Island. This is pretty remarkable considering it is located just a 15-minute ferry ride from the very busy downtown area of Toronto. It is a very intimate community :: an intimacy that was reflected in Keira + Joe's day - everyone felt like a friend by the end of the night. The ceremony and reception took place at the Queen City Yacht Club where Joe races boats in his spare time. A DIY-bride, Keira strove to save where she could - including creating her own centre pieces using potted plants. Every person wishing to attend the wedding was brought across Lake Ontario by a ferry that dropped them just outside the Club. The ceremony was held on the lawn, overlooking the Toronto skyline - it was stunning. The attention to detail was remarkable - the theme nautical. Their place cards were boating flags, and old fishermen figurines stood guard over the fruit trays during the cocktail reception. And it wasn't cheesy at all -- not an easy feat with a nautical/boating theme! One of my favourite parts was the kissing game during dinner. Guests were asked to create Haiku poems which were then read to the crowd. A poem earned a kiss. A memorable keepsake for the couple, and many good laughs were had over some of the poems! Keira's dress is an Alfred Sung, which she purchased from the The Bride's Project. The Bride's Project collects donated dresses from designers and sells them on behalf of several cancer charities. In Keira's words, "I got lucky, saw it as it was being delivered, and snatched it." :) What a stunning dress, and helps charity, too - amazing! Thanks so much to Tara for sending me these gorgeous images afor sharing all these great details!

A Seriously Amazing Wedding!

Kat

June 24, 2009

So you thought their Jess & Dana's engagement's were amazing right? Well check their wedding out. Ahhhh I am in love and lust all at the same time! The Groom's crazy cool suit was made from a vintage pattern and the couple said they were going for "a mix-mash of styles with a vintage feel" which I have to say totally works. Why on Earth do you have to stick on one theme?! The Bride didn't wear a wedding dress, she picked it up from her favourite shop in Australia. A ridiculously huge thank you to photographer/videographer extraordinaire Hailey Bartholonew of You Can't Be Serious. I am forever if your wedding debt!

Utterly Sweet Weddings

Kat

June 24, 2009

I have a couple of gorgeous sets from Sweet Monday Photography to share with you today, starting with the stunning, rustic wedding of Naama & Greg. What drew me to this wedding straight away was Naama's beautifully simple and cute dress but what kept me going through all the photographs was all the gorgeous little details they put into their day. The couple were married at Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles and Neema got her dress from Ebay, oh yes! It was a real family affair with all the flowers coming from her Mum's garden and her sister Melissa makingall the stationary. The couple also put all the favours and table numbers together themselves. The result is a completely gorgeous DIY soiree!

A Crazy Cute, Riduculously Gorgeous, Campfire Wedding

June 23, 2009

Is this anybody else's dream wedding or just mine? The crazy-gorgeous tattooed Bride with the ridiculously cute short dress, jumping into a lake with her cute cute husband, drying off by a campfire? Wow..much love. Mucho kudos to Matt Miller for this submission. I am smitten.

I Actually Squealed With Excitement…

Kat

June 22, 2009

Ever since Tim & Merrill's engagements, I have been waiting with bated breath for what feels like a lifetime for this wedding to happen and the photographs to be shared! Not only is Mark Brooke a photographer I simply adore, but the Groom is photographer Tim Melideo so I just knew the results would be nothing less than spectacular. I am quite frankly anything but disappointed! In fact I love these so much I could actually squeal. Tim & Merrill have got some style that deserves some serious envy. The boys are rocking their same look different tie thing and the girls just look ridiculously gorgeous in their pink dress/bright flowers combo.

Happy Sunday and a very Happy Father's day to you all. Posting will be slim today as I am cooking up the most amazing contest which I will launch tomorrow...believe me, it's worth checking back! The light, bright and fresh colour palate of this gorgeous wedding has been perfectly mimicked by Benj Haisch's gorgeous photography. The whole effect is a chilled out, cool and calm one and they seem to have had an absolute blast! Thanks to Benj Haisch for this submission - photographers, if you too fancy seeing your work on Rock n Roll Bride, drop me a little email why don't ya?

A Low-Key Party

Kat

June 20, 2009

Jess & Mike were really excited about having a really low-key party where their friends from all over and families could all be together and that's exactly what they delivered. The wedding was all in one place at the Valley Green Inn up in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. It was a quick outdoor ceremony officiated by Jess' uncle. The couple chose not to have rings and opted for a very simplistic approach to their flower, using little bundles of wild flowers for the bouquets. Jess made her own gorgeous red dress out of a vintage evening gown and also made all the decorations inside the restaurant which included tin can lanterns, string lights and a garland hung from the ceiling. Jess and Mike weren't too concerned with lots of family groups, but more with photos of everyone hanging out and having a good time. Colin Leaman came along to assist the main photographer Amanda and set up a little photo booth area for which Jess brought along tons of hats and wigs and other props for her guests to use in the funny photos. As an added touch, the couple requested friends and family write down three songs that they would love to hear at the wedding on their invitation replies so that evertbody got to hear something they liked at the reception
