Rock Wedding Décor
If you can, choose a venue that will fit a rock them vibe. Ideas include theatres and nightclubs where you do not have to add too much to the décor.
At any venue, you can incorporate elements of rock in your wedding day décor. Ideas include guitars and vinyl for a unique guest book for your guests to write their wishes on. Other ideas include use amplifiers as stands to display desserts and wedding cakes. Whisky bottles will be cool favours, and empty bottles can be used for vases or candle holders. Use the names of your favourite bands for décor or table names whether it be ACDC, Rolling Stones or others. Your cake can have guitars as toppers or the name of each of your favourite bands on the tiers of your wedding cake.
Rock Themed Wedding Stationery
When sending out your invitations to the wedding, share your ideas for a rock themed wedding and invite guests to dress up for the occasion. Elvis Presley may just turn up! Ideas for your invitations include having them in the style of a concert ticket, with a tear off section for the RSVP or a pass into a Hall of Fame. Incorporate the motif from your favourite band for added impact with a personal touch to be really creative. You can use this same design across all your stationery and into the décor of your venue.
Rock Themed Wedding Vows
Take inspiration from the rock n’ roll songs that you love. If you want to, you can sing the entire lyrics for ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ by The Darkness as your vows. For those who can’t hit the notes, here are some other ideas from some of the most romantic lyrics from the most beautiful rock love songs.
‘Iris’ by the Goo Goo Dolls
And I’d give up forever to touch you
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight
‘Real Love’ by John Lennon
Thought I’d been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Don’t need to be alone
No need to be alone
It’s real love
Yes it’s real, yes it’s real love
It’s real, yes it’s real love
‘Everlong’ by the Foo Fighters
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
