The Alternative Bridal struggle....

This week, all talk turned to bridal as one of the clan got engaged and will be tying the knot next year. The reason for this bridal talk, was not about the best wedding dresses or what shade of boring French polish to have - it was the alternative bridal talk.

As people with a lot of tattoos, piercings and weird hair colors - normal bridal looks really really silly on us. I think I would just look bizarre if it was me. So the conversation was, how alternative to go without looking too alternative!

All of us felt that going too alternative with a wedding makes it look a bit silly. We wondered how to best find something that suited us and our tastes without presenting a weird version of our usual aesthetic. I know myself, with my hair color and piercings that I would feel strange and not myself if I covered these things.

This isn't to say that normal bridal doesn't look good because it does, on the right person. It's something I have heard from a few alternative folk who are getting married because I've reached that age where it is happening now. Sadly.

So I've turned to the internet to help me with trying to sort out some alternative looks. I don't ever want to get married so this isn't a thing for me - besides I am happily single! But I do want to help. I came across Rock and Roll bride which is a wedding style blog dedicated to things of a wedding nature for people who have cool hair, piercings and are punk fucking rock.

I thought I'd provide a link incase anyone else alternative is having wedding panic blues. Also because I'm going to link my friend to it as well! http://www.rocknrollbride.com/
