Having shared some of my favourite, and most vintage infused, of the latest bridal collections (you can see them here, here, here and here if you missed them), and the Top Ten Wedding Trends for 2017, I thought it was time to unveil the Top 11 most beautiful (and wearable!) Bridal Trends for the coming year. From the very…

At the start of this year I rounded up some of the key trends for weddings in 2016, and ironically one of the biggest floral trends was the no flower trend – greenery! A modern take on the greenery (fern) obsession of the 1920s, it is great for creating a lush look without costing the earth; and is the perfect…

I’m sure you can’t have forgotten those pretty pastels from Pantone’s Top 10 Colours for Spring 2017 (you can see them here if you missed them and the inside scoop on who Pantone are and why you should care what colours they pick) Well, today I’m sharing Part II, a mix of bold tropical brights and understated dusky…

If I have neglected one thing on Chic Vintage Brides, it is the all important tablescape – and yet I remember all too well how difficult I found it deciding on the style, size, vessel and flowers for our NYE wedding back in 2010. And so I have decided to put this wrong right with…

Last weeks post on delicious alternatives to the traditional wedding cake (hope you didn’t miss it, it was a corker!) got me thinking about how else today’s couples can express a little individuality and create a wow with their wedding cake. And one of the easiest ways that came to mind was colour, and in particular…

I have been seeing lots of lovely new visitors to the site since New Year and much as Mr E would like to think it is all thanks to the swanky new look he gave CVB, I have a sneaky suspicion a lot of you became engaged over the holidays! Congratulations lovelies, what wonderful news!! At this…

Last week I shared 5 of Pantone’s Top 10 Colours for Fall 2015 and I was chuffed to see you love them just as much as I do – if you missed them, you can catch up here (and if you’re wondering who Pantone are and why the heck you should care what colours they picked, then pop across…

It feel likes only yesterday that I was sharing Pantone’s pick of colours for Spring 2015 and yet, they have already released their favourites for fall – and if you thought the Spring palette was pretty, just wait until you see the beautiful array of colours they chose for Autumn! Here’s how Pantone, the global authority on…

If you’re looking for an unconventional wedding dress, something chic yet flirty and fun; a wedding dress that is informal but still oozes glamour; a dress that you can really let your hair down in, or that perhaps Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn would have sashayed down the aisle in; then look no further! Nothing says vintage quite like…

Good morning! A couple of weeks ago Pantone released their colour picks for Spring 2015 and it has me, and indeed the whole wedding world, rather excited. Now you may be wondering who the heck is Pantone? And, why on earth should you care what colours they pick for next Spring? Well, remember last year how…

Hello lovelies! We’re starting the week with a post packed full of pretty. Having looked at Wedding, Bridal and Groom‘s trends for 2014 I thought it was well past time attention was turned to your sisters, cousins and besties; the most important women at a wedding (after you and your Mom of course) your maids! Gone are…

Morning lovelies! I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday’s post (it was Part I of today’s so it is here if you missed it) I certainly loved pulling it together – perusing the 2014 catwalks and collections of the very top wedding dress designers from around the world and choosing the top 10 wedding dress trends for…

Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous weekend and is ready for the start of a new week. I was strangely eager when my alarm went off this Monday morning, thanks to today’s post. I LOVE wedding dresses! Now, that may be considered something of an obvious pre-requisite for a wedding blogger, but I…

Apologies, this post is more than a little late, but if you follow Chic Vintage Brides on Facebook you know why 🙂 Now, I love New Year, and not just because it is our anniversary! I love the chance to reflect on the year gone by but more importantly to look forward to all the…
