Good morning! If you have been a regular visitor of Chic Vintage Brides, you will by now be familiar with these 5 perfect palettes posts. They have become a bit of a popular and regular feature since you all loved my 5 Perfect Palettes for an Autumn Wedding so much. To date we have looked at Winter…

Whilst many of you are looking forward to Summer, here in New Zealand we’re coming to the end of my favourite season, Autumn. Although it marks the end of the Summer, there is nothing I love more than nature’s last smile. From the turning of the leaves to the gorgeous golden light, to me there…

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). There is no doubt that Claire is a designer whose creations once seen are…

If you have been a visitor to Chic Vintage Brides for some time, you may recognise the subject of today’s post for this will be the fourth gorgeous collection from Petite Lumière I have shared, and they just get better and better! The very latest collection of sophisticated bridal separates and accessories, called The ‘Music Room’,…

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,…

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…

Following on from last Monday’s glimpse of the gorgeous tea length gowns in House of Mooshki’s 2016 Bridal collection (which, if you missed it, really is a must see), we’re starting this week with something a little extra special from designer of the moment Jenny Packham and last month’s Bridal Market. If you love art deco decadence and ethereal elegance…

Good morning lovelies! Well today sees the start of a new month (I can’t believe we’re in May already?!) and the end of another week, but before you head off for the weekend I have a post packed full of pretty for your delectation. In this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons we’re continuing the bridal accessories theme…

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…

Those of you who enjoyed last week’s post packed full of the prettiest tea length wedding dresses (and I know there were lots of you!), are simply going to swoon over today’s collection of bridal beauties, because no-one does tea length quite like the House of Mooshki! Epitomising the glamour and grace of the 1950s with their…

I don’t know about you but I was quite sad to come to the end of the series of Spring themed Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons last week! Or at least I was until I started thinking about what I could share with you this week!! And I decided that I have been somewhat neglecting the all important bridal…

I must admit this is one of my absolute favourite times of the year! Not only because of the beautiful change in season, but also because its around this time we start to get early glimpses of the beautiful new bridal collections. I can’t help it, there is little I love more than perusing the latest exquisitely…

I am a little bit smitten with today’s inspiration board! The elegant neutral colour palette was inspired by the beautiful old buildings of Tuscany, and a stunning image by Kristin La Voie Photography. Dramatic, glamorous and the epitome of elegance it is my idea of heaven!….. Kristin La Voie Photography Mixed with a splash of gold,…

Good morning lovelies! We are going to start the week right this fine Monday morning, with quite simply the most gorgeous intimate Autumn wedding. Featuring hints of Art Deco, gorgeous hues of blue and beautifully captured on camera by husband & wife duo Chadwick & Jenika of Gantes Co., Amelia & Mark’s celebration brims with romance and…
