Claire Pettibone has long been a favourite of mine! Her collections, with her distinctive signature style, are always so full of the most feminine and ethereally elegant wedding dresses that it is quite simply impossible not to be charmed and captivated by them. Designed with a hint of the Art Nouveau era, and not lacking in beauty or…

Hello lovelies. Well, New York Bridal Fashion Week has been and gone for another year! NYBFW is just about my favourite time of year – I love seeing the talented designers of the wedding industry raise the bridal beauty bar each and every season. Just as I think they have achieved perfection, the next collection somehow wows even…

It has now been over a month since I teased you with that first glimpse of Gwendolynne‘s latest collection The Modern Muse (if you missed it you can see it here). So I thought it was high time I unveiled the full collection as I promised. If you saw the post, or are a regular visitor…

Hello lovelies! It’s been rather a perfect start to the week here, with nothing but blue skies, the birds singing in the trees and yesterday’s gorgeous glamping engagement session. I hope you didn’t miss it because with a teepee, a flower crown and the most magical dusk light it really was something special. It made me wish, even more than ever,…

Oh my goodness, to say I am in love with today’s gorgeous, glamping engagement session would be an understatement, and I just know it is going to steal your heart too! With its oh so pretty (but quite DIYable) styling, and super sweet couple Susan & Alfred whose smiles light up every frame, plus breathtaking…

Three years ago today I sat down, with a mixture of trepidation and excitement, to write my very first post. I can’t quite believe it, honestly it only feels like yesterday, and there’s not a day goes by that I am not grateful for all that has happened since then. So today I am taking a moment in celebration of…

With tomorrow being Chic Vintage Bride’s 3rd Blogiversary (I know, I can hardly believe it either – it seems impossible that 3 whole years have passed since my very first post, and it only seems like yesterday that I sat down to write this post!) I thought it only fitting, before I go off to do…

I adore beautiful stationery and so today I am super excited to be sharing a new collection of Wedding Essentials from eco stationery experts, and lovers of the historic craft of letterpress, Smock. There is so much to love about this little eco print shop, the sister company of Bella Figura (who, if you follow CVB, you will know is…

The heirloom vintage velvet ring boxes from The Mrs Box are a must see for any vintage loving bride-to-be (or romantic beau planning a proposal) – and will be topping my Christmas wish list this year too! I am so completely smitten with these precious little parcels – I want one in EVERY colour! The creation of the…

Good morning lovelies! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was sun filled and fabulous, and left me feeling all inspired! As my last inspiration board was distinctly Autumnal (full of gorgeous jewel shades take a look here if you missed it) I decided today’s should have more of a lighter summery feel. And nothing says…

Mill Crest Vintage may have started life in a small boutique (in a seaside town just outside Boston in fact, almost 30s years ago now) but today their Lambertville store is literally brimming with the most beautiful vintage wedding and bridesmaids dresses you will ever see. Owners Erica and Paula pay exquisite attention to everything from the…

After finishing our Autumn amble last week, I think its time to take another look at some of my (and yours) favourite Pins from the last week – especially as I so enjoyed my first Pinterest post, and I have added another 3500 pins to my burgeoning boards since then! Mind you it is easily done, Pinterest is…

Newcomers to Chic Vintage Brides may not have heard of Karen Willis Holmes, but as a designer of some of the most exquisite and glamorously feminine wedding dresses I’ve ever seen, I promise she won’t be a designer you forget! Especially once you have glimpsed her gorgeous latest collection….. English born but based in Sydney, it…

Good morning! I have such a beautifully down-to-earth vintage wedding to share with you today, planned by the sassiest of brides with some must read pearls of wedding wisdom! Full of fun, little DIY details, retro styling, big smiles and Scottish heritage Tineke & Sean’s relaxed Summer wedding is anything but traditional, and everything a wedding should…

Much as I can’t wait to see the new wedding dress collections for 2015 (NY Bridal Fashion Week isn’t far off and the glimpses of the latest designs never fail to make my knees a little weak!) there is nothing quite like the glamour, elegance and history of a vintage wedding dress. I don’t think there is…
