If you follow Chic Vintage Brides on Facebook you may have seen how I have been whiling away my lunch times this week – looking at the most wonderful vintage wedding dresses; and I certainly stumbled across some absolute beauties. So this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons (my Friday fab 5) is dedicated entirely to…

Good morning lovelies! With Summer just around the corner for so many of you, and feeling all inspired by that breathtaking beach inspiration shoot from Kirill Bordon Photography (if you missed it do take a peek here, it really couldn’t be any prettier!) I couldn’t resist a beach wedding inspiration board incorporating those lovely shades of blue and…

I have long had an obsession for all things bling! (doesn’t every girl?) Mine started at a young age, when my Nan lovingly allowed me to play shop with her treasured collection of jewels. In fact on the long hunt for the perfect accessories to complete my bridal outfit I bought in the lead up…

It has been quite the week here at CVB! If you follow on Facebook you will already know why and I won’t bore you by repeating the stories of my blogging woes. Instead I will wave goodbye to the last 5 days with a smile on my face and look forward to the brighter and…

Morning! And welcome to Wednesday, hump day, and of course Chic Vintage Bride day! Clarissa Tennant was said, by Dame Barbara Cartland no less, to have been the most beautiful woman she had ever seen…..

Good morning lovelies! Whilst my days are getting shorter and colder here, and I am spending more and more of my time dreaming of warmer climes and white beaches (you may have noticed CVB’s Honeymoon Pinterest board being filled with images much like this one) I know many of you are looking forward to the…

Morning lovelies and welcome to the end of the week! Not quite the weekend, but almost, and what a week it has been! It hardly seems possible that I was sharing Noaki’s beautiful new brooch bouquets with you just 5 short days ago (have you made the most of that exclusive discount yet by the…

No post could be more perfect to brighten a cold, wet and windy day like today, than this romantic Winter Love Shoot from Kirill Bordon. Snapped at a hidden beach in Vancouver, it is filled with gorgeous floral arrangements from Our little Flower Company in the prettiest Winter palette (including my favourite – a flower crown!) and graced…

Eeek, I have such an exciting post for you this morning – so exciting in fact that this post is more than a little unexpected and unplanned (you’ll have to wait until later for the post I actually had planned for today, but believe me it is one inspiration shoot that is worth the wait!)…

I think this morning that it is well past time we looked at another Aisle Style (it has been a while). So far, in this series of posts all about how to decorate your aisle to wow your guests and create the all important perfect backdrop for your photos, we’ve seen 20 of the most: lovely altar…

Hello, and how are you this fine Monday morning? I know Monday’s are never easy and so I have just the perfect post to perk you up. For what could be a better way to start the week, than a first glimpse at the latest, and most beautiful collection of heirloom bridal bouquets and accessories…

Now I love a designer wedding dress as much as the next girl – I wore Jenny Packham myself and Vera Wang never fails to wow me with her beautiful use of colour. However much I adore these designers and their gorgeous gowns though, I have a special place in my heart for independent boutique…

Is it just me, or do the weeks seem to be speeding by even more quickly? Honestly I don’t know where this week has gone, but gone it has and we now have a weekend to look forward to! Just before you pop off to start yours though, I have one last thing to share…

Today’s Chic Vintage Bride is no royal, screen siren or style icon (like the brides in yesterday’s post), but she sure made a beautiful bride….. (Image Source) Daphne Nixon married George Hamilton Brown on 18 April 1942 wearing a beautiful v-neck gown of ethereal lace ~ isn’t it lovely? Her bridesmaid, the groom’s sister, Edith Brown is wearing…

Hello lovelies! I have such a delightful hidden gem to share with you today. I seem to have spoken a lot recently about keepsakes and cherished wedding gifts. And I don’t mean those much appreciated items from your gift registry, but rather the personalised, heartfelt gifts from your nearest and dearest; because its these simple…
