Today’s wedding inspiration shoot is a 1920s vision, in fact it could have come directly from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, it is so opulent and dripping in Art Deco details. From the imagination of Sue Gallo, whose work you may remember from this romantic wedding inspiration shoot, and beautifully captured by Ally Kristensen,…

For today’s wedding inspiration board I was inspired by the colour picks recently released by Pantone, and in particular the gorgeous golden yellow you may remember Oak Buff. A stunning shade inspired by nature and with a distinctly vintage feel I knew, as soon as I saw it, it would look so elegant mixed with grey and a dusky pink……..

Good morning, and I do hope you’ve had a wonderful start to your week. It is a rather wet and miserable day here in the usually sunny Hawkes Bay, the sort of day that makes you feel like snuggling on the sofa in front of an old movie! Luckily, I have just the thing to brighten…

If you have visited Chic Vintage Brides before, then you will have almost certainly stumbled across the gorgeous gowns of Claire Pettibone and know that I am a huge admirer of her inimitable design style (you can see her past collections here).

It was Marilyn Monroe who once said  “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” And on what day could it be more important to have the right shoes than your wedding day? To some people (let’s be honest, mostly men!) wedding shoes only glimpsed beneath your bridal gown seem a big,…
