Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons

Happy Friday everyone! Are you ready for the start of the weekend? This weekend I will mostly be packing (again) and getting ready for the big move, but it’s not all bad, after all moving to our first NZ home of our own is pretty exciting!

This week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons is dedicated to all of you newly engaged brides -to-be out there!

1. Starting with a beautifully vintage and tropical Carmen Miranda inspired engagement shoot from Grey Likes Weddings to get your creative juices flowing (as a bride who didn’t have an engagement shoot, it is quite possibly my only ‘regret’)…..

2. After the initial celebrations and excitement of being engaged comes the wedding planning. Today there are so many clever sites and apps available to help make the process as smooth and stress free as possible, an essential 9 are listed in this must read post on One Fab Day – make the most of them!

(oh and you can follow Chic Vintage Brides on Pinterest here!)

3. Collate and focus your ideas in an Inspiration Board (be it on Pinterest or somewhere else) This chic and elegant feather inspiration board from Southbound Bride set my heart a fluttering this week…..

4. And with a bit of careful planning it all comes together to create the day of your dreams. This Romantic Outdoor Fall Wedding from Once Wed could well be the wedding of my dreams (or this week at least)…. oh the light, the flower adorned arch and that dress!

5. But if all else fails and it all gets too much, just remember what is important – you, the one you love and the vows you make to each other! Leave all the stress behind, find a beautiful spot and elope. Oh and if you think an elopement can’t be as beautiful or meaningful as a wedding, then this stunning elopement on Magnolia Rouge could have you thinking again…..
