BEAUTIFULLY ELEGANT, AND TOTALLY PUNK ROCK.

Introducing a Pop-Punk Wedding at Shack Revolution Hereford!

A punk rock wedding is a rare and beautiful thing. Because for those of us old enough to remember the golden years of Blink and Green Day, punk rock isn’t just a style. It’s a part of who we are. And a genre packed with iconic songs that bring back memories of who we used to be. 

But for all its reminiscent romance, punk isn’t known for its beauty. And that’s why punk rock weddings are so rare. Because so many couples put aside their love of the genre in exchange for something more “pretty”. 

But this wedding in The Shack Revolution showed you can have a stunning wedding, whilst still celebrating all things rock & roll. By blending beautiful details with effortlessly cool nods to the genre, they bridged the gap between beautifully elegant, and totally punk rock.

The Shack Revolution is THE alternative Hereford wedding venue.

The Shack Revolution is the perfect venue for a Pop-Punk Wedding.

As a DIY wedding venue, you basically have a blank canvas. And complete creative freedom to make the space your own. And if you’re planning an alternative wedding, a DIY venue like The Shack Revolution is ideal. Because you get to make the whole day completely yours.

The Hereford wedding venue is right in the city centre, so it’s already buzzing with the energy of the city. And with its black metal beams and corrugated iron, exposed brickwork and concrete floors any wedding here is immediately cool. 
And the atmosphere is awesome. I mean, you’ve got a table tennis table. And I can’t remember any wedding I’ve done where that hasn’t turned into beer pong! There’s a cocktail bar, a mad party space, and loads of room in the courtyard for everyone to hang out. 

And just look at the size of their f*cking beer glasses!!

ALL THE SMALL THINGS.

Ieuan and his groomsmen looked awesome, with matching black and white Vans, checked blazers and collar bars. They trod the fine line between ‘ready for the occasion’ and ‘ready to party’! And I’m not gonna lie, when you turn up to see the groom getting ready and he’s drinking whisky and smoking cigars you know it’s gonna be a great day!
But the wedding had the perfect blend of punk and pretty. Molly wore a stunning dress with a beautiful bouquet of delicate white blooms and eucalyptus. And the bridesmaids’ forest green dresses tied in with the rest of the details.
But after the ceremony, it was as though the two worlds collided. Molly changed out of her blush pink heels and into her Nike Air Max for maximum chill, ready to party the night away!

THE MIDDLE.

After the ceremony at this Shack Revolution wedding, Molly’s bridesmaids all did a speech, nicely framed in the doorway.. Everyone gathered in the courtyard, laughing their ass off at the speeches and drinking signature craft cocktails and giant beers. And the food was bloody amazing, provided by Hereford’s famous The Beefy Boys, a really cool burger shop in the city. This is another great thing about DIY venues, because you choose your own caterers. So you can eat whatever food you want! Want burgers? F*ck it, why not? It’s your wedding!
The rest of the speeches were on point, including one from Molly’s dad, wearing possibly the coolest FOTB outfit ever. I mean, can we just take a second to appreciate that jacket?!

Couple’s portrait photos in The Shack Revolution.

Whilst cocktail hour was on, my second shooter Steph shot some candids. And I took Molly and Ieuan off for some cool couples portraits against The Shack Revolution’s geometric wall. After that I wanted us to do a champagne spray shot. So I brought some non-alcoholic champagne and we did that against the black corrugated metal of The Shack. Leuan decided to pour it all down himself after doing the spray. What a lad.

Later on in the day, we disappeared into the car park for another portrait’s session. And d’you see what I mean about the place having so many cool photo spots?! Even the frickin’ car park is cool! 

As night fell, the cobbled courtyard was lit by festoon lights strung up overhead. With the party still raging inside, the dulled punk rock beats filled the courtyard and Molly and Ieuan had themselves a moment.
