Sponsor Saturday – Primrose & Finch Bridal Boutique
I think I have mentioned before that I long dreamed of owning a wedding dress shop, under the delusion that it was all wedding dress modelling and quaffing champagne. Whilst Chic Vintage Brides for the most part satisfies my lust for all wedding loveliness, just occasionally I still dream….. especially when I see beautiful boutiques [...]
Runway to Reality with Claire Pettibone’s Beau Monde Collection from Momental Designs
My love of all things Claire Pettibone is no secret (you can see all the Chic Vintage Brides posts showcasing her fabulous creations here) so just imagine my delight when I spied a nothing short of spectacular inspiration shoot on the lovely Kristy from Momental Design‘s blog, using CP’s delightful designs as her muse…. and then I discovered [...]
Intique & Co. Bridal Stylists and Wedding Designers – and Australia’s Only Stockist of Claire Pettibone
Today I am super excited to be able to share with you the launch of the first boutique in Australia to stock some of the beautiful Claire Pettibone wedding dresses – so excited in fact that I just couldn’t wait until Monday.

In Love with Claire Pettibone’s Fall 2013 Bridal Collection
After yesterday’s classic ivory bridal Fall 2013 collection from Vera Wang, I have something a little different, but equally dreamy, from New York Bridal Fashion Week for you today…..

Adorned with silk flower crowns, corsages and necklaces; in gowns of gossamer fit [...]
Magical Illusion Necklines
Didn’t Prescilla Chan look radiant when she married Mark Zuckerberg this week?! For their surprise, back yard ceremony the bride opted for, who else but Claire Pettibone! The exquisite gown was style ‘Sky Between the Branches’ (from Claire’s continuing collection), which features the most beautiful cut out embroidery, creating a stylishly elegant bateau illusion neckline. [...]
Twigs & Honey’s Flawless New Vintage and Whimsical Headwear
The exquisite vintage bridal headwear of Twigs & Honey was the subject of one of my first posts, so I could barely contain my excitement when I discovered, through the inimitable Claire Pettibone no less, that not only was a new collection being launched but that it was being captured by Elizabeth Messina, and would feature [...]
The Most Distinctly Stunning Long Sleeved Wedding Dresses
I have always thought sleeves on a wedding dress give a blushing bride a demure air of elegance, creating a sleek silhouette and immediately evoking reflections of a more graceful and refined time. After so many years of strapless bodiced bridal gowns, I do believe it is time for a sleeve revival! The beautiful Toile Francais from [...]
Claire Pettibone’s 2012 Beautiful Beau Monde Collection
Previously, I have refrained from sharing the glorious creations of the Wedding dress designer of today’s post, because sadly she is currently not stocked in Australia or New Zealand - it would be cruel to tease you with such beauteous bridal gowns as these, if they are not available here….. However, with her simply breathtaking 2012 collection, [...]
