Pop Punk / Metal / Non-traditional brides?

Jess, on March 12, 2021 at 6:38 PM Posted in Planning 1 5

I had been really struggling to feel like I was fitting into most bride groups I've found... my fiance and I are both former "scene" kids and grew up with music heavily shaping who we turned out to be as adults.

So, when it comes to style inspiration, jewelry tastes, hairstyles, make-up styles, and music recommendations... it's been hard, since I'm trying to buck tradition JUST A LITTLE in every decision I make.

I'm finding that there are A LOT of brides who feel this way - so I started a Facebook group for us to all connect with each other called Pop Punk & Metal Brides .


It's been super helpful for me to finally feel like I'm connecting with the right people and getting recommendations from people who "get" me, so I wanted to share this here in case it's helpful for anyone else who is trying to plan and is trying to find other brides in this little niche to help get opinions, recommendations, and ideas from.

    Omg there are people out there like me? Is it really too much to ask to have Rob zombie played at my wedding? My mom is quite upset that I want to play some Korn and Zombie lol

    MY PEOPLE! FINALLY!!

    While on the outside my deeply rooted emo personality is not shown, on the inside my little black heart is absolutely dying for a moshpit at my wedding lol.

    We have to put song request lines on our RSVP cards, cause if FH and I picked the music no one would have a good time lol.

    My FH is walking down the aisle to a piano version of Bad Girls Club by Falling in Reverse, Our Wedding Party is walking into the reception to Chop Suey! and FH and I are walking in to Downfall of Us All

    Hello! My fiance and I are also emo and pop/punk kids. We met in high school and he played guitar in a band and I had a crush on him. We always hung out and he took me to my first concert at the Glass House in Pomona and that is also where he proposed to me. We grew up liking and seeing bands together such as Escape the Fate/ Falling in Reverse, Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, Simple Plan, Yellowcard, New Found Glory etc. When I walk down the aisle the song "Smother Me" by The Used will be playing.

    Its nice to see other brides here with the same taste and passion of music Smiley laugh
