how to recreate this rock and roll wedding look
no boho!
It’s really easy to water down a rock n roll theme by adding boho elements so if you want the edge, avoid the macrame!
more, more, more!
More is always better when going rock n roll, so don’t be afraid to be unique, ‘out-there’ and outrageous!

Rock and roll wedding wear
Can we talk about how friggin’ great this bride looks?
Claude Bridal Studios created the bespoke veil and bow for this shoot and we are LOVING it. The bow was hand embroidered with a tattoo style design and sat beautifully on top of the pink wig from Le Keux Essex. The pink pom pom veil is fun and unique, shimmering beautifully alongside the stunning Bowen Dryden sequin wedding dress. To finish off the rock and roll wedding look, this bridal babe is wearing accessories from Everything But Sprinkles with a hand-painted bridal leather jacket and personalised Doc Martens by Inanna Bespoke Shoes. SO gorgeous!
Alternative Wedding Venue Styling
Here’s what wedding planner & stylist Lily Jones Events told us about styling this unique wedding venue:
“We were inspired by our beautiful venue, Ruffynes Barn, which naturally is home to lots of rustic, vintage, and boho weddings but we wanted to show how an alternative theme can also rock in what on the outside seems like quite a traditional country wedding venue. We wanted to show couples that they can make their big day edgy and alternative without having to hunt around for a really ‘out there’ wedding venue”
Liz from Bizzy Lizzy Flowers created the stunning floral arrangements and installations for this shoot that incorporated bright colour and brilliant textures for a truly alternative look.
Lou at Bake to the Future created a rock and roll tattoo look on her amazing wedding cake using edible paper and some fabulous skull chocolate treats and biscuits as well! Yum!
We’re digging this bold table styling with the striking red of the tablecloth and candles with the black skulls, napkins, and wedding stationery by Ribbons And Wren. Rock and roll, baby!
Cocktails & Motorbikes
Wait, it gets even better!
Purple Fizz created some EPIC bespoke cocktails for this shoot. What perfect inspiration for couples wanting their bar company to create something unique and memorable for their big day.
And here’s the cherry on top…
Invicta Hog brought along this incredible custom painted, one of a kind, Elvis inspired Harley Davidson! This would be the most amazing addition to any rock and roll wedding and would definitely make heads turn!
A Rock and roll wedding band to end the day
We loveeee a bit of wedding entertainment – and this styled shoot even had it’s own live music! Here’s what Lily Jones Events told us:
“We wanted to create a stage area for our band, FNKHAUS, to perform from to show a relaxed festival vibe that can be created at your wedding but with more of an edgy theme than the usual boho. This staging area and the lighting & lanterns were created by Christopher James Events and MD Marquees – we think it looks fab!”
What a way to finish off a rock and roll wedding! We love this shoot and hope it’s got you feeling inspired! Remember to come say hi on Instagram for daily alternative wedding inspiration!
