Wedding blogs the world over were as ever awash with inspiration this week – honestly, whittling Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons down to just 5 is an ever increasingly difficult task!

1. This Mad Men Inspiration Shoot on Wedding Chicks may just have swayed my preference of the 1950s over the 1960s…..

2. From CVB’s Chic Vintage Looks on Pinterest it is obvious there is one piece of makeup essential for any vintage look, from the 1920s all the way through to the 1960s - ruby red lips! And the delectable Franky (the lovely lady in photo 1) over at Love My Dress got all dolled up and with the help of makeup artist extraordinaire Lucy Baker showed us how it’s done….

3. Wedding tables quickly become so full, with names, menus, favours, candles, cutlery, plates not to mention wine  it is a wonder there is ever any room for centre pieces, let alone guests! Ruffled had the solution this week with some truly incredible and imaginative suspended wedding flowers….

4. I wish I had read something like this article on Polka Dot Bride before I went Wedding Dress shopping for the first time – it really is a must read for all brides-to-be before they go in search of The One….

5. This Australian wedding on 100 Layer Cake (at The Boyd Baker House, which you may remember from the Fabulously Retro Wedding featured here on CVB) is a perfect example of a bride finding exactly the right dress for her….

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
