Introduction To Themed Rock Weddings

Themed rock weddings can include a vast array of different features, including:

Venues: The venue can be customized to resemble a concert stage where you say your wedding vows. You could even have a concert stage design for your ceremony, complete with giant speakers, lasers, and more.
Entertainment: A rock ‘n roll wedding usually has a live band playing, but it is also acceptable to use a DJ to play your favorite rock songs.
Transportation: You will want to choose vehicles for the wedding party that fit your theme, such as 1950s cars for a 1950s-themed rock wedding.
Decorations: You should match your decorations, flowers, invitations, and other props to fit your specific theme. For example, you could get invitations that look like actual concert tickets.
Rock star officiant: You should choose a licensed officiant dressed up like your favorite rock star that also fits with your themed rock wedding.
Wedding attire: Your wedding dress, bridesmaid’s dresses, the groom’s tux, and groomsmen’s tuxes should all fit with your rock wedding theme.

Exploring Rock Bands and Sub-Genres for Wedding Themes

Now that you have decided you want a rock wedding, your next step is to explore the various options, from rock bands to sub-genres and alternative wedding themes. The theme is pivotal for setting the tone of your wedding ceremony and receptions. Whether you like punk rock, glam rock, or indie rock, each offers different inspiration and ideas to customize your special day.

Punk Rock Wedding: Edgy and Raw Inspiration

For couples who are into punk rock, a punk rock wedding provides edgy and raw inspiration. Imagine walking down the aisle with a runner covered in graffiti art. Your flowers can be spray-painted in different colors. You and your beloved could wear leather jackets, ripped jeans, choker chains, dangling earrings, and other clothing that is reminiscent of punk rock.

For your ceremony, you could decorate tables with black lace tablecloths with skull centerpieces and flashing neon lights. You should have a live band for your entertainment, perform songs from the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Minor Threat, The Ramones, or your favorite punk rock bands.

Glam Rock Extravaganza: Sparkle and Glamour for Your Big Day

Glam rock offers a world of sparkle, glamor, and glitz and is perfect when you want a lively and upbeat wedding theme. You can draw inspiration from David Bowie, Queen, Twisted Sister, Elton John, Adam Lambert, or KISS. Your wedding attire should feature richly designed dresses, gowns, and tuxes complete with sequins and studded rhinestones in vibrant colors.

Your wedding decor could feature disco balls, flashing lights, and shooting stars. You can use metallic-colored tablecloths with strobe light centerpieces and faux furs draped over the chairs. You can have a live band dressed up like your favorite glam rock band performing your favorite glam rock songs. A DJ would also be acceptable, but they should be dressed up like a glam rocker.

Indie Rock Romance: Intimate and Authentic Wedding Ideas

Indie rock wedding themes allow for a more intimate setting with more unique and authentic wedding ideas. Imagine your venue decorated with handcrafted items made by local artists, such as mason jar lanterns sitting atop vintage vinyl records as centerpieces and rustic wooden chairs. You can use mismatched plates and table settings to make your wedding even more unique.

Your venue could be decorated with elements from various music festivals, such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, the Firefly Music Festival, or Burning Man. Your music choices could feature a live indie rock band playing their own songs, as well as songs from Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, or your other favorite indie bands.
