With a name like ‘Chic Vintage Brides’ you would be forgiven for thinking these pages are all about the girls. But I know there are just as many vintage loving guys out there and today’s fabulous styled shoot is for you! Inspired by the imaginings of the inimitable Wes Anderson and given a distinctly vintage…

Florist extraordinaire and Chic Vintage Brides‘ resident flower expert Toni from Magdalen Hill is back for another Bouquet Recipe. And today she has identified and jotted down the blooms for one of your favourite bouquets on Pinterest. And it is SUCH a stunner, I can completely see why it made you weak at the knees!…..

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…

Good morning lovelies! It’s almost time for the weekend, but just before we wave goodbye to another week there’s time for one more post! After swooning over Mondays roundup of the most fabulous floral wedding dresses (all 20 of them!) and Tuesday’s incredible cascading bouquet recipe; today’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons continues this week’s somewhat floral theme with 5 lush…

What I love about weddings today is how they reflect the style and personalities of the bride & groom. Modern weddings aren’t bound by meaningless traditions, today’s brides don’t conform to the conventional – you want your wedding to be as unique as you are! And this desire for the different doesn’t have to end…

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…

It has been something of a bouquet themed week here on CVB – there was the DIY bouquet in Monday’s lovely vintage country chic wedding, the bouquet recipe on Tuesday (for the stunning floral arrangement from the Secret Garden inspired shoot I shared with you a couple of weeks ago); and then Wednesday’s Chic Vintage 1920s Bride carried…

Good morning lovelies! Now I have no doubt that all of you who saw this seriously stunning Autumn wedding inspiration a couple of weeks ago will remember it clearly (oh and if you missed it, you can take a peek here – it is definitely one NOT to be missed!) It was a once seen never…

It might be thanks to last week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons, or all the pretty pins on Pinterest or just because it has been distinctly un-Spring like here this last week, that and the fact that it is of course my favourite season, but I am feeling very Autumnal at present and loving all of the…

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…

I think it is fair to say that in all of our excitement Mr E and I somewhat overlooked our ceremony room and aisle decor. I can’t say it is a regret, because there is nothing about our day that I regret; however if I had the chance again I might try to look at…

I remember with such clarity the emotion of seeing my soon to be husband, standing at the end of an aisle lined with everyone we love most, waiting for me! And no memory is more magical than when we were finally pronounced ‘husband’ and ‘wife’; and we waltzed back up the aisle hand in hand as Mr…

Two years of Chic Vintage Brides has gone so quickly it hardly seems possible, yet so much has happened it seems a milestone worth celebrating and celebrating it we are! That’s right, we, for without you there would be no CVB, so its only right Chic Vintage Brides birthday presents are shared with you! (I…

Gosh this morning’s cold snap was a shock to the system….. it is however a good excuse for a cosy and quiet weekend at home. A weekend much needed to re-create some posts and inspiration boards I lost when I accidentally stood on my, oh-so-fragile as it turns out, USB stick a few weeks back. So I will be…
