Planning a wedding often feels like herding kittens. You send out beautiful paper invites, cross your fingers, and hope people actually show up. But hoping isn't going to help you sleep at night. A wedding website is the central hub that turns "maaaaaaybe" into "yes!". It gives your guests all the details they need to feel comfortable and excited about attending your wedding. Using a great wedding website template also makes it so easy to build a site that looks amazing and works perfectly - no advanced technical know how required!

Wedding planning is fun AF... until you forget about the boring admin tasks and it suddenly becomes more like an exam you forgot to study for. This is the stuff most couples forget. Not because it’s hard, but because nobody really talks about it. So hopefully this will save your sanity and any last minute panics!

Cleaning & Preserving Your Wedding Dress

Guest Contributor

February 9, 2026

After the wedding, a lot of dresses are shoved into the back of a cupboard without so much as a second thought. Whether you want to sell it, save it for your children, or even have it reworked to wear again, its really important to get it cleaned first. Even if it looks pretty clean, it probably isn’t. Sweat, sugar, alcohol, make-up, and dirt don’t always show up straight away, but they can cause discolouration and fabric damage over time. Times this by a thousand if your dress is white or ivory.

Look, we need to address the elephant in the reception hall: weddings have gotten totally out of hand. Somewhere between “I do” and Instagram, we lost sight of the plot. The typical wedding now costs almost as much as a good car, and frankly? Half of it ends up being stuff nobody remembers anyway.

A wedding is a day full of emotions and expectations, both for the couple as well as their guests. A somewhat unfortunate side effect is that everyone will have an opinion. Couples will often find their choices in regards to how they’d like to celebrate this day scrutinised. And one such choice invites even more scrutiny: when they choose to have a child-free wedding. Reactions to this decision can be tricky to navigate, as they combine the emotions surrounding weddings with protectiveness and fear of exclusion.

It’s no secret that we love a Vegas wedding here at Rock n Roll Bride. We’ve been lucky enough to shoot in Las Vegas multiple times over the last few years, so without blowing our own trumpet too much, it’s fair to say we’re pretty clued up on how to do a Vegas wedding well.

Not everything around your wedding has to be “Pinterest-worthy”. In fact, we’re here to champion something we’re calling the anti-aesthetic wedding movement. Reject the curated feeds, the staged set ups, and the endless pressure to make your wedding look like somebody else’s.

Getting engaged between Christmas and New Year hits in its own ridiculous, sparkly way. Fairy lights, leftover stuffing and suddenly you’re staring at a ring thinking "OMG this is it!". Welcome to the newly engaged bubble. It’s sweet. It’s surreal. It’s the only time you get to sit in the glow before the wedding machine tries to drag you in by the ankles.

A wedding without alcohol is like fish without chips. Or is it? Many couples are rethinking the culture of boozy weddings, and for good reason. More and more wedding guests are swapping their wines for cokes, whether they’re tee-totalers, Dry January participators who never went back, or simply casual drinkers who would rather avoid the headache the next day.

Diamonds tend to arrive in our lives loaded with meaning. Engagements, anniversaries, milestones, moments you want to mark properly. But once you start shopping, the conversation often turns into numbers, grades, and price brackets. What gets lost is how a diamond actually looks and feels when you wear it.

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.

Your Ring, Your Rules: The Lab-Grown Diamond Takeover

Guest Contributor

December 18, 2025

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.

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:

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.
