Much as I love vintage inspired wedding dresses, I can not help but feel more than a little envious of brides lucky enough to wear a truly vintage bridal gown. I get a touch of the green eyed monster every time I gaze upon a bride bedecked in a dress lovingly handed down from their…

I like to keep Chic Vintage Brides fresh and mix it up a little, keep you and myself on my toes (just wait until you see what I have planned for 2014) So, starting this week, Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons is going to take on something of a new guise as my fabulous Friday five….

Honestly, holding off posting Part II of this absolutely dazzling wedding from Lara Hotz Photography until today was almost impossible! It took all of my willpower not to get up in the middle of the night and click ‘Publish’! If you saw Part I you will have some idea of the gorgeousness in store for…
