A bit of a quick unexpected post today because I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer!….I have been sharing my love for all things stationery and particularly Bella Figura…. well, since the launch of Chic Vintage Brides actually (they were the subject of one of my first posts); and for almost as long I have…

Be prepared to be wowed! Chic Vintage Brides has shared a fair number of inspiration shoots but never one so breathtakingly beautiful! These photos are like pre-raphaelite works of art, as dramatic and romantic as a John William Waterhouse painting; collectively creating a shoot that is like a walk through the Louvre….. It may look a little…

My love of all things Claire Pettibone is no secret (you can see all the Chic Vintage Brides posts showcasing her fabulous creations here) so just imagine my delight when I spied a nothing short of spectacular inspiration shoot on the lovely Kristy from Momental Design‘s blog, using CP’s delightful designs as her muse…. and then I discovered…

Woo hoo for the weekend, which starts here!!  I love Fridays, not only for the aforementioned obvious reason, but also because it is the day I allow myself some blog surfing freedom! The rest of the week I walk the fine line between my daily dose of inspiration and maintaining focus on the task in hand,…

Did everyone catch the Chic Vintage Brides first yesterday? Two posts in one day, including some limited edition lovelies from Mignonne Handmade. And today I have another post packed full of beautiful bridal accessories for you….. SIBO Designs, founded in the Netherlands by creator Sheila Bobeldijk, creates combs, corsages, sashes, veils and hair pieces that are beyond…

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, this IS today’s second post!….. I think it could be a CVB first?! But I just had to bring you this post after the overwhelmingly talented and sweet Jennifer at Mignonne Handmade shared a dreamy motion picture of her enchanting limited edition pieces exclusive to her Etsy store.  My love of all…

There is not much I love more than looking at vintage wedding photos – all the romance, glamour and grace of a bygone era, the beginning of a new life in a time when it couldn’t have been more different…. I love to lose myself a little in each Chic Vintage Bride post I write imagining the fate…

There is nothing more inspiring (or flattering) for me than hearing from you, the readers and followers of Chic Vintage Brides. Whether it is a comment on a post, a message through Facebook, a quick hello, a thank-you or to ask for my help, it never fails to make me smile! And it was a reader’s request that…

It is amazing how, dare I say it, I enjoy returning to Chic Vintage Brides after a holiday. Usually the end of a holiday is something of a shock to the system but this week I have positively revelled in catching up on all I have missed and immersing myself in everything vintage and wedding;…

Evening everyone! Regular visitors to Chic Vintage Brides may have noticed it has been an incey bit quiet on the post and Pinterest front recently but after a much needed, not so sneaky break, I am back and normal service will resume! And do I have a treat for you today, with this glorious real…

Following on from my recent Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons dedicated to the most dapper of Grooms and fabulous of Bridesmaids, this week I have decided to turn my attention to the detail that creates one of your guests final impressions of your big day – the wedding cake! 1. It was, as always, an impossible…

My love of all things Monique Lhuillier, is no secret. Her signature glamorous red-carpet-ready gowns and ethereal wedding dresses have been the ones to look out for many a season and I for one have waited for each collection with bated breath. With her Fall 2013 collection unveiled at this month’s New York Fashion Week…

Last week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons was one for the boys, this week it’s  one for girls, the special ladies in any brides day – the bridesmaids. Now I really should have thought about it when I started this post, because limiting my selection to 5 was an almost impossible task, but here goes, my pick…

I think it is fair to say I have been a little obsessed with all things heeled ever since I slipped on my Mum’s scarlet court shoes, with their pointed toe and 3 inch heels, at the age of 4 and sashayed (or more accurately slopped) around the house in them – when I most…

Happy Friday everyone! And after Valentines Day I must say a big welcome, and congratulations, to all those newly engaged brides-to-be coming to Chic Vintage Brides for the first time. I woke up yesterday all excited at the thought of all the lucky ladies (and gentleman) who this year woke to a surprise proposal…or even…
