Morning! And welcome to Wednesday, hump day, and of course Chic Vintage Bride day! Clarissa Tennant was said, by Dame Barbara Cartland no less, to have been the most beautiful woman she had ever seen…..

Good morning lovelies! Whilst my days are getting shorter and colder here, and I am spending more and more of my time dreaming of warmer climes and white beaches (you may have noticed CVB’s Honeymoon Pinterest board being filled with images much like this one) I know many of you are looking forward to the…

Morning lovelies and welcome to the end of the week! Not quite the weekend, but almost, and what a week it has been! It hardly seems possible that I was sharing Noaki’s beautiful new brooch bouquets with you just 5 short days ago (have you made the most of that exclusive discount yet by the…

No post could be more perfect to brighten a cold, wet and windy day like today, than this romantic Winter Love Shoot from Kirill Bordon. Snapped at a hidden beach in Vancouver, it is filled with gorgeous floral arrangements from Our little Flower Company in the prettiest Winter palette (including my favourite – a flower crown!) and graced…

Eeek, I have such an exciting post for you this morning – so exciting in fact that this post is more than a little unexpected and unplanned (you’ll have to wait until later for the post I actually had planned for today, but believe me it is one inspiration shoot that is worth the wait!)…

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…

Now I love a designer wedding dress as much as the next girl – I wore Jenny Packham myself and Vera Wang never fails to wow me with her beautiful use of colour. However much I adore these designers and their gorgeous gowns though, I have a special place in my heart for independent boutique…

Is it just me, or do the weeks seem to be speeding by even more quickly? Honestly I don’t know where this week has gone, but gone it has and we now have a weekend to look forward to! Just before you pop off to start yours though, I have one last thing to share…

Today’s Chic Vintage Bride is no royal, screen siren or style icon (like the brides in yesterday’s post), but she sure made a beautiful bride….. (Image Source) Daphne Nixon married George Hamilton Brown on 18 April 1942 wearing a beautiful v-neck gown of ethereal lace ~ isn’t it lovely? Her bridesmaid, the groom’s sister, Edith Brown is wearing…

Hello lovelies! I have such a delightful hidden gem to share with you today. I seem to have spoken a lot recently about keepsakes and cherished wedding gifts. And I don’t mean those much appreciated items from your gift registry, but rather the personalised, heartfelt gifts from your nearest and dearest; because its these simple…

It’s Friday! That’s right, we’ve made it through another week and its nearly time to celebrate the start of the weekend with whatever Friday evening you have planned (mine will involve PJs, slippers, merlot and chocolate) Of course, there is just one thing I must do before my weekend can begin (and I can get cosy)…

Today I have a post and a half for you! It is positively brimming with some of the prettiest ideas for lighting your wedding reception. Did you see the post on ceremony lighting? If not, it is worth a read because for all the reasons lighting is key for your ceremony, it is just as…

How many of us grew up using dinner services or cutlery sets that our parents were given on their big day? Or even remember grandma making tea in beautifully ornate and delicate cups and saucers she had proudly been using since her wedding? I remember the most precious pieces being safely tucked away or displayed…

Good morning! Monday, Monday, not usually my favourite day of the week (is it anyone’s?) except when I’m doing an inspiration board – and this week’s is a beauty! Mr E and I were lucky enough to have the most wonderful lavender blooming in our gardens all summer, filling our home with its lovely scent…
