Be it the latest beautiful bridal collection or, like today the most exquisite inspiration shoot, it is impossible for me not to love Mondays and the excitement they bring! I have been simply bursting about sharing today’s elegant inspiration shoot with you ever…

I just know you are going to love, today’s bride, Sally’s style (for a start does she remind anyone else of the fabulous Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine??) and her beautiful sun drenched wedding from Goldsmith & Co. From the glam black bridesmaids dresses (with a hint of Audrey I feel) and wrist corsages, which are such…

I have long been a huge fan of luxurious letter press stationery extraordinaires Bella Figura (it is hard to believe it has been a year, or more, since I introduced their lavish 2012 collection) I truly adore this little artisan letterpress shop – the love and passion they have put into perfecting their craft the old-fashioned way; the way they use antique cast-iron…

I don’t know about you but I adore the work of art that is my fridge door – photos and magnets, memories and mementos making me smile every time I go in my kitchen for a cuppa! So I love that Minted have just launched a range of magnets created from their favourite and most…

I don’t know about you but there are few dresses that have set my heart racing as much as THAT dress in Atonement. Now if like me some 6 years later (that’s right, 6 already!?!) it continues to be your idea of glamorous vintage perfection then you are just going to L O V E…

Having opened its doors just days ago I am super excited to be able to share these beautiful images of Wellington’s newest and chicest bridal boutique Paperswan Bride.

Each with varying degrees of vintage but equally gorgeous and inspiring, so newly engaged lovelies and brides-to-be, take a moment to feast your eyes on these…… 1. The loveliness of this vintage…

I think I am hearing the call of the wild at the moment, because I simply can not get enough of outdoor weddings! There is just something about the natural beauty of the green landscapes and the dramatic skylines…… and dramatic and super sweet are the first words to come to mind when describing this…

I have such a treat of an Inspiration Shoot for you to start this week! Chic Vintage Brides photographer fave and sponsor Josie Richardson (you may recognise her from her Sponsor Intro) sent over this shoot exploring bridal wear from the last century and packed full of amazing vintage fashion inspiration….. The inspiration shoot originally came about after Josie…

I confess to having had something of an Emerald obsession for some time (long before Pantone named it their 2013 Colour of the Year) – it was the perfect hue for my Frosted Mistletoe Winter Wedding Inspiration Board, looking particularly gorgeous against the snowy landscape. This week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons is all about the lushest and…

There is no end to the ways your wedding can be made as unique as you are. It started with brooch bouquets and alternative wedding cakes and now we are starting to see our gorgeous grooms expressing their personalities by shying away from the traditional floral buttonhole, choosing instead quirky, daring or just darn cute alternative boutonnieres….
