The Best Thing Rock My Wedding Ever Did (Again.)

Cover-Image-quote

When we decided to create an on-line boutique we really didn’t know what to expect. As with anything you’ve never done before, it’s a steep learning curve complete with daily challenges and constant surprises.

We wouldn’t have it any other way though, there is never a dull (or even vaguely quiet) day at RMW HQ. “Boredom” doesn’t feature in our vocabulary.

Launching Rock My Boutique was a huge project for us, we hosted our biggest industry event to date and spent a significant amount of time scheming, dreaming and designing our first campaign “Big City Love“.

Those of you that have already seen AW12 will know it was very urban, quite…… edgy.

And so for Spring/Summer (let’s face it – we’ve kind of um…by-passed Spring already (!)) we decided to do something very different. Actually, we decided to create what might be considered the polar opposite of our disused-nightclub based Autumn/Winter shoot complete with a zillion spray-painted tins and break dancers….

2013-05-22_0001

Our new campaign is called “Coco” after one of Lolly and I’s favourite icons of all time…..Coco Chanel.

Think super super polished. Think sophisticated and clean and timeless. Think mercuried glass, sequins, feathers and an abundance of beautiful blooms. Think Provence in July with a generous dose of Parisian chic thrown in for good measure.

Think pretty. Really REALLY pretty.

We love the outcome of our latest adventure. And we’ve got everything crossed that you gorgeous lot will feel the same way.

The full shoot will be appearing first thing in the morning along with details of our new product range and the official collection shop launch.

For now we’ll leave you with our campaign film by the very talented Simon Clarke – he did such an awesome job of the last one how could we ask anyone else?

Plus frankly, he might be the only person on earth who could put up with my Miss bossy-boots director ways and verging-on-the- ridiculous requests.

With special thanks to a whole host of unbelievably creative Love Lust List suppliers who made this whole thing possible, you can find links to their websites in the credits below.

Enjoy lovelies.

RMW Rates… Louise Adby Photography.

cover

Louise Adby is a London based photographer but finds herself travelling all over the UK to cover beautiful weddings.

adby_0027

Combining photojournalism and fine art photography, Louise aims to record an authentic story of your wedding day by unobtrusively capturing candid moments as they unfold without intervening or directing.

adby_0028

This approach allows Louise to reveal some of the unique characters of your guests and your selves. But just as a traditional wedding photographer would, Louise will also take some time to do a series of fun and informal posed portraits in and around your venue, creating romantic images of just the two of you that you would be proud to display on the walls of your home.

Hello Fern…

Cover-Image-quote

You may be aware that Madame Becky is due to have a teeny tiny person any time like…..NOW. And this means she will be off enjoying motherhood for a while whilst we miss her loads and bombard her with requests for cute baby pictures.

Covering Becky’s maternity break is a little lady called Fern whom we were formally introduced to at The National Wedding Show after she sent us her CV (and witty covering email) some months before.

Fern has previously assisted us backstage at Pretty Naughty (you can spot her in the pretty black and white frock dressing one of the models) and we have sporadically kept in touch since. When we needed a new member of the team it made perfect sense for her to climb aboard this high speed blogging train.

If you’ve got a few minutes to say “Hello” lovelies then please leave a little bit of community spirit welcome-ness in the comments box below.

Fern: Good Morning Rock My Wedding readers!

I’m extremely excited to be joining team RMW while Becky is on maternity leave….I probably shouldn’t admit this – I’m not actually getting married anytime soon, nor am I engaged (although I’m sure there are numerous readers out there who are in the same camp!!) I do have a lovely boyfriend though and hopefully one day he will get my very unsubtle hints…then maybe I can attend Wedding Fayres with organising a wedding in mind, rather than hunting down Charlotte and Adam and asking them for a job.

Ever since I was tiny I have dreamed of getting married, I love the romance of finding your soul mate and forming a team – you and your partner against the world for ever and ever.

2013-05-21_0002

I used to waitress at weddings and have been known to sit in the kitchen tent on a crate behind the marquee listening to the wedding speeches of total strangers with tears in my eyes – I know, I’m a hopeless romantic.

On a more shallow note, I am a true girl’s girl and love pretty things. I could gaze at images of flowers, shoes, dresses and accessories for hours on end. I’m definitely in the right place!

2013-05-21_0003

My dream wedding used to be Coleen and Wayne Rooney’s – I’m not even joking – she definitely led the way with two dresses! (Don’t worry, my tastes have definitely matured since then). Today, it would involve a slinky bohemian dress, bare feet and a beautiful deserted beach in South West France. Tomorrow it will probably be a Vera Wang dress with Louboutins in an English stately home. But it always involves flowers in my hair, lots and lots of candle light and my beautiful sisters as bridesmaids. Oh, and my lovely boy waiting at the end of the aisle.

Looking forward to getting stuck into the crazy world of weddings.

Lots and lots of love,

Fern x
