I share a lot of beautiful and inspiring wedding shoots here on Chic Vintage Brides, but today’s is a little extra special. Not only because it is perfectly styled in autumnal hues and to evoke one of my favourite eras, the glamorous 1940s; but also because it comes complete with some super sweet and thoughtful…

Whilst many of you are welcoming Fall, down here in New Zealand Spring has officially sprung – the trees are heavy with blossom, ducklings swim the park ponds and all is looking lush and green. And whilst I am a little envious of you (Autumn is my favourite season after all), today I wanted to…

Any Gossip Girl fans out there? I don’t know whether to confess this or not….but I have never seen an episode! *gasp* After seeing this super stylish inspiration shoot from Kerry Jeanne Photography and Kaleb Norman James Design though, I am sorely tempted to seek out a boxset!….. Styled to perfection with all of the glamour those of you…

You may recognise today’s bride & groom Jennifer & Jason from their fabulous vintage diner engagement shoot, published right here on Chic Vintage Brides last week, it was a retro beauty – if you missed it, you can take a peek here. Well, if you thought their engagement shoot was stylish, just wait until you see…

It can be all too easy to lose sight of it when you’re busy excitedly planning every little detail of your day to be perfect.

I must admit this is one of my absolute favourite times of the year! Not only because of the beautiful change in season, but also because its around this time we start to get early glimpses of the beautiful new bridal collections. I can’t help it, there is little I love more than perusing the latest exquisitely…

Good morning! I might be reaching the end of another wet day here in usually sunny Hawkes Bay, but I know most of you will soon be waking up, hopefully to a bright and beautiful morning. Don’t be glum though if the sun isn’t shining where you are either, for I am about to whisk you…

Of all the eras, I always find wedding photos from the 1940s most poignant because they so rarely reveal the hardships endured at the time (I think that’s why I love this chic vintage bride so much) Their smiling faces never betray the feeling that their joy and happiness could end all too soon. There is…
