With only 6 more sleeps until Christmas it’s time we got seasonal here on Chic Vintage Brides! And whilst I may be a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas decor (red, gold & green all the way in our household!) I do love an alternative palette for a holiday wedding – and the colors in…

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…

As I remember all too well, choosing your wedding colors is not as easy as it may sound! There is so much to consider when picking your palette: you want one that not only suits your chosen venue, but also compliments your bridesmaids, one that’s not too feminine for your groom and his guys, but oozes…

I love all things paper and get so excited when I discover a new Stationery retailer I can swoon over. So you can imagine my delight when the folks over at Basic Invite asked me to share some wedding invitation inspiration with you. A quick peek at what they have to offer had me completely smitten, and I think you…

Today’s inspiration shoot is an enchanting ode to the elegance of simplicity, perfectly blending lush floral arrangements, with a restrained tablescape of muted greys, and beautifully feminine bridal looks. And whilst it was captured in the Spring, I can’t help but think the soft tones and silvers are just as perfect for Winter. You really won’t want to…

Ooooh today’s Winter Wedding is just so utterly gorgeous and romantic it is sure to have you swooning from the very first image. In a palette of soft neutrals, with more than a splash of gold, Bess & Austin’s snowy celebration is a Winter Wonderland brimming with rustic elegance and heart warming details….. After 8 years together,…

You may remember a few weeks ago wedding planner to the stars Mindy Weiss (one of the most sought-after party planners in the country!) popped in to see us and share her top 5 wedding splurges, well today she is back with more expert wedding advice for those brides on a tighter budget (I know I was one!)…

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…

I fell head over heels for today’s dreamy wedding from the very first image. In a soft palette of pastel blue and greyed jade, Tuchinca & Laurence’s  wedding (all the way from South Africa!), with its romantic outdoor ceremony and beautifully styled reception, is a picture of timeless elegance perfection!….. And its little wonder when you learn that…

Following on from yesterday’s look at Pantone’s top 10 colours for 2017, today’s inspiration shoot is a masterclass in how the simplest colour palettes are often the most striking. In rustic neutral shades, warmed by the most romantic of sunsets as well as the odd pop of red, and with just a few carefully curated and thoughtfully styled…

I look forward to the latest pretty shades from Pantone, our favorite global authority on all things color, more and more each year! This is in fact the third year I have been covering them here on Chic Vintage Brides (do take a peek at 2015 and 2016 if you missed them, they’re still just as lovely),…

Today’s boho-vintage, seaside wedding, celebrated overlooking the sea in Coogee Australia, is an absolute delight featuring charming nautical blues and splashes of coral, as well as bright and beautiful florals – including fresh flower crowns for the whole bridal party! Every gorgeous detail was documented by the fabulous Tamar Porter of Bless Photography…… It all started with…

After swooning over many of the beautiful new bridal collections for 2017: from the ethereal and elegant offering by Reem Acra, to the rustic and radiant delights from Jenny Packham and the stunning collection of new favourite Saiid Kobeisy; today is the turn to be charmed by Chic Vintage Brides sponsor Rose & Delilah‘s latest designs….. and I think…

Today’s inspiration shoot is just what is needed for those of you already missing the long hazy days of Summer. The indescribable beauty of the Australian coastline, alongside the lush blooms of Dominique Flowers and the exquisite bridal gowns of Chic Vintage Brides’ fave Gwendolynne, makes for some simply stunning inspiration. And every intricate and romantic…
