Go Printed



When we first started this blog some 5 years ago, we took a leap of faith in shouting out to the cyberworld that we are "Rebellious Brides" and we sought out kindred spirits who have the same unconventional ideas as we do. At first, it was difficult and sources were very few. But we kept on going. One of our very first propaganda here in the blog was going for 
"Anti-White Gowns".  And again, back then, there weren't very many examples to feature. 

Fast forward to 2016 and we are so thrilled that we have awesome artists like Quirky Creatives who share the same vision as we do and who share the same beliefs that bridal gowns don't have to be white--nor do they have to be plain. 

Together with Tipping Point Collective, Jacq's Florals Design Studio, and REAL Makeup Artisty, Quirky Creatives collaborated with this rebel team to come up with printed bridal and groom looks that are definitely inspired.

Love, Colors, and Culture - A Rebellious Secret Wedding


It is always so wonderful and interesting to know how each and every culture celebrates weddings. It is a testament to the fact that there are so many ways to formalize and create a wedding - and that doing it in the church, wearing a white dress is definitely NOT the rule of thumb for everybody else in the world.

21 Rebellious Wedding Ideas from The Met Gala


Vogue's Met Gala is one of the biggest and most sensational annual parties in the world. But more importantly, it is the ultimate proof that breaking the rules can be very Vogue. As the ultimate mecca of fashion, Vogue has always had the most distinct power to remain both sophisticated and rebellious. It is an institution that continually raises the bar, creates the most over-the-top ideas, and inspires the world of its point-of-view. From the most fantastical party themes, to the most imaginative decor, to the most relevant of dress codes, the Met Gala is an amazing resource if you want to create a never-been-done wedding. Here are the top 21 rebellious wedding ideas that we can learn from the Met Gala through the years.

Kasalang Jay & Thea

First of all, "kasalan" is a Tagalog term for a wedding. Jay & Thea entitled it this way because their wedding was just that - simple and unpretentious. Secondly, being rebellious doesn't have to mean one thing (that's being a rebel within a rebel!). While some people in the world judged our Maleficent themed shoot to be too much or making a circus out of weddings, we here at RB are in fact lovers of all things we consider rebellious (doesn't have to have a theme involved all the time). That's why for this day, we've decided to show the more laid back and intimate side of weddings we love.


"They didn't need to come up with a theme for their wedding. They have an extensive vinyl collection which they share with friends on sound trips. They love the outdoors and go to parks, gardens & beaches as much as they can. They're beer drinkers and foodies. So they thought that instead of thinking of a theme, they just needed to highlight the things they enjoy & love. So it became a day of love, food, beer & music and when people were asked what they thought the theme was, they just answered: Jay & Thea" -Denise Nicole Tolentino, sister of the bride and photographer

Grace & Mark in Black & White


RB Mica and I have a pet peeve. Our pet peeve is when we see a rebellious prenup photo set that celebrates the rebelliousness of a couple--but then their wedding is as serious as it can get. We feel sad because to us, it means that the couple felt like they could only play and have fun during their engagement but come wedding day, they'd have to succumb to being traditional. That's why we love seeing couples who are brave enough to follow through with their rebellious streak, all the way to the wedding.

Tips from Holly & Denero's Wedding



We can all learn a thing or two from weddings from around the globe. I for one love American weddings because there's an understated coolness and chicness in how they plan their weddings.  Holly & Denero's Oregon wedding at the Jardin del Sol is an example of that. For one thing, brides there are rebellious enough to do their own makeup if they know how to. And brides like Holly are not uptight when it comes to their styling--they don't mind pairing their gowns with turquoise-colored necklace/bibs and they allow their bridesmaids and other members of their entourage to wear comfortable outfits that they want to. But most of all, to them, wedding ceremonies are ALWAYS important regardless of where it's done and who officiates it. I love weddings like this because it's just naturally rebellious. Simplicity and uncomplicated--that's the REAL essence of being rebellious because in truth, these are the hardest things to do.
