Good morning lovelies! Can you believe we’re at the end of January already? Next it will be Valentines Day and soon we’ll be thinking about Spring! Before all that though, this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons. After the confetti has been thrown, wedding cake cut and the sparklers have fizzled out, it will be time for you and your husband…

I have often spoken of my dream of owning a wedding dress boutique here on Chic Vintage Brides; and my love of losing myself in the latest wedding dress designs. So I am sure it will come as little surprise to you that nothing makes my day more than receiving an email from a designer asking me to share…

Good morning lovelies! My Chic Vintage Brides are always some of my favourite posts, but even more so when they are the much cherished family photos from you the reader. And so today I feel incredibly chuffed and honoured to be sharing with you the beautiful wedding of Shirley Schiff and Lawrence Weiner – the grandparents of lovely CVB regular Allison…… They…

Despite the fact it is Summer here in NZ, it has been something of a wet and miserable day today. So I thought with this week’s inspiration board I would whisk us all away to somewhere lovely – and warm! Inspired by the charming stone houses of Provence, with their pretty shuttered windows, I chose a palette of soft blues, blush…

Good morning lovelies! For all of you still shivering through the midst of Winter, I have just the thing to warm you up and brighten your day this cold Monday morning.

For those of you are new to the blog, Saturday’s posts are dedicated to those people who inspire and enable me to write Chic Vintage Brides.

After the Christmas holidays lots of you newly-engaged brides-to-be will be lucky enough to be shopping for the perfect engagement ring (perhaps there are a few romantic beaus planning a Valentines proposal too?) With an almost limitless choice nowadays of retailers, rings, settings, stones, size, gold – and price!; there can be few purchases more exciting, or daunting,…

Good morning lovelies. You may remember back in November I shared the beautiful new collection of bridal hair accessories by Chic Vintage Brides favourite Erica Elizabeth Designs (if you are new to the blog and haven’t seen it, do take a peek here because it is utterly enchanting!) and in it, there was mention of an…

Good morning lovelies! The super-talented, and very lovely, florist extraordinaire Toni from Magdalen Hill is back today with her fourth bouquet recipe – oh and if you missed the other three do take a peek here, the first one, a hand tied Autumn bridal bouquet, especially was a MUST see – it had a matching flower necklace!. For those of you who…

Hello lovelies! Ahhh the start of another new week already, where did that weekend go? Really, is it just me or is January flying by?? Speaking of flying (See what I did there?? Sorry, we’ll have to agree to put that one down to Monday morning madness!), today’s vintage inspired engagement session is just too adorable not…

If you’ve been enjoying this week’s garden wedding themed posts (so far there’s been a romantic Garden wedding inspiration board, BHLDN’s Painted Garden collection for Spring 2015 and a beautiful Secret Garden inspiration shoot) as much as I have, you’ll be pleased to hear we’re finishing the week with a floral flourish and a Snippets, Whispers &…

Good morning lovelies! I love a gorgeous garden wedding and I don’t know if you have noticed, but there is something of a garden theme on Chic Vintage Brides this week. It all started with that lovely Spring garden wedding inspiration board on Monday, followed by BHLDN’s Meet Me In The Garden shoot for their…

Those of you who saw it will no doubt remember the early glimpse the lovely folks over at BHLDN gave us of their Spring 2015 Collection before Christmas (if you missed it, or just want a reminder, you can have a look here) Well, since you loved it so much (it was one of the…

Whilst here in NZ the summer is a scorcher, meaning lots of lovely lazy days in the garden and dining outdoors (which always makes me feel a little Mediterranean?!) I know many of you remain in the midst of Winter, so I am starting the week with a Winter warmer for you! A romantic Spring wedding inspiration board in…
