I am a little ashamed it has taken me so long to post about ‘Gwendolynne’, particuarly as I fell in love with her designs the moment I saw them. It is no surprise that through her beautiful bridal gowns Gwendolynne Burkin has established herself as one of Australia’s fashion purists; she works with intuition, avoids…

Wow I can’t believe it’s just 1 week until we go on our hols?! I have made a promise to Mr E that is going to be so hard to keep….. but for the last almost a year my lovely supportive husband has had to share me with my laptop, and he has never so…

I am so excited today to be sharing the latest collection of a Chic Vintage Brides favourite (and something of a regular) – Mignonne Handmade. And as if that isn’t exciting enough, I also have a CVB exclusive offer from the lovely Jennifer! Since discovering this little Etsy store and becoming enamoured with their wonderful…

This week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons is a wink at pink 🙂 Regardless of trend, era, theme or religion, there is one colour guaranteed to lend an air of romance to any wedding and that is pink! 1. Where do I even begin with this magical sunrise wedding from Green Wedding Shoes – the incredible amphitheater…

It’s official, much to Mr E’s dismay I have a new favourite Etsy store and my oh my is it pretty  – before sharing, I should warn you that reading this post could seriously affect your bank balance! Erstwhile Jewelry Co is a fine Antique & Vintage jewellery shop on Etsy. Founded by Jared and Alisa, newly…

Another week gone, in a flash… good grief, today it is only 3 weeks until I go home to England and I have yet to finish a single post for whilst I am away! So, it seems this weekend I will mostly be spent on my laptop! How about everyone else? Anyone with a wedding this weekend? Many…

I can’t tell you how excited I am today to bring you a Chic Vintage Brides first – the first inspiration photo shoot post, and my, what a truly magical bridal inspiration photo shoot it is! The result of a beautiful collaboration, of some of the most talented and creative industry professionals this is the photo shoot of wedding…

Now officially Winter I love the cold, crisp mornings and evenings snuggled up with a hot chocolate. I can’t quite get used though, to the fact that the nights drawing in doesn’t mark the commencement of birthday and Christmas celebrations! 1.  I don’t know if it’s a from the Royal Wedding last April, but I have…

Aren’t long weekends the most marvellous and this evening we have a whole 3 days of no work to look forward to! I for one can not wait, as after reaching 3,000 followers on Pinterest this week I am feeling more than a little inspired and enthused, so this weekend I am immersing myself in CVB….

After weeks of planning, it was my sister’s baby shower last weekend and it was something of a triumph, even if I do say so myself 🙂 Of course I can take very little credit for it, really all I did was pull the pieces together, the rest was achieved through the online marketplace marvel that is Etsy!…

This weekend is my sister-in-laws baby shower. After weeks of meticulous planning, DIYing and secret keeping it all comes down to 3 hours tomorrow afternoon……..I can’t wait, it is going to be SUCH fun (if everything goes to plan)! Wish me luck everyone and enjoy my pick of this week’s wedding posts…. 1.  New Antipodean…

Didn’t Prescilla Chan look radiant when she married Mark Zuckerberg this week?! For their surprise, back yard ceremony the bride opted for, who else but Claire Pettibone! The exquisite gown was style ‘Sky Between the Branches’ (from Claire’s continuing collection), which features the most beautiful cut out embroidery, creating a stylishly elegant bateau illusion neckline….

Wedding blogs the world over were as ever awash with inspiration this week – honestly, whittling Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons down to just 5 is an ever increasingly difficult task! 1. This Mad Men Inspiration Shoot on Wedding Chicks may just have swayed my preference of the 1950s over the 1960s….. 2. From CVB’s Chic Vintage…

As a Jenny Packham bride, there will always be a little piece of my heart devoted to her. This lady has such a way of designing and cutting a gown that makes it impossible to describe the instant sense of glamour and grace you feel as the soft, sumptuous fabric of one of her designs slides down…

It’s that time of the week again and this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons has more than a hint of fuchsia to it, as well as a fun walk down memory lane with a wedding shoot inspired by a film that this year is 25 years old….25 years, I can’t believe it. 1. This pretty…
