If you have been following Chic Vintage Brides for a while then you will know just what to expect from Gwendolynne, one of Australia’s leading bridal designers (and favourite of mine – you can see more of her work on CVB here, here and you absolutely must see this!) If you’re new to the blog…

Hello lovelies! I hope you are enjoying better weather than we are here, in the usually sunny Hawkes Bay. What a wet and miserable week it has been, and it is showing no signs of improving! But hey at least it’s the weekend, and I know just how I will be spending mine! (when I…

Hello lovelies and welcome to the weekend. I just had to stop by today to let you in on a fabulous competition that is running for the next 7 days! If you are a regular reader of Chic Vintage Brides then you will know all about long time CVB sponsor Jannie Baltzer and her couture bridal…

Good morning lovelies! It seems that all too often the hunt for the perfect bridesmaids dress is as stressful and time consuming as the search for THE wedding dress – apparently finding a colour and style to suit all, loved by bride and bridesmaids alike, and at a price that is affordable, is more elusive…

It has been quite the week here at CVB! If you follow on Facebook you will already know why and I won’t bore you by repeating the stories of my blogging woes. Instead I will wave goodbye to the last 5 days with a smile on my face and look forward to the brighter and…

Good morning lovelies! Whilst my days are getting shorter and colder here, and I am spending more and more of my time dreaming of warmer climes and white beaches (you may have noticed CVB’s Honeymoon Pinterest board being filled with images much like this one) I know many of you are looking forward to the…

Morning lovelies and welcome to the end of the week! Not quite the weekend, but almost, and what a week it has been! It hardly seems possible that I was sharing Noaki’s beautiful new brooch bouquets with you just 5 short days ago (have you made the most of that exclusive discount yet by the…

I think this morning that it is well past time we looked at another Aisle Style (it has been a while). So far, in this series of posts all about how to decorate your aisle to wow your guests and create the all important perfect backdrop for your photos, we’ve seen 20 of the most: lovely altar…

Hello, and how are you this fine Monday morning? I know Monday’s are never easy and so I have just the perfect post to perk you up. For what could be a better way to start the week, than a first glimpse at the latest, and most beautiful collection of heirloom bridal bouquets and accessories…

Today I have a post and a half for you! It is positively brimming with some of the prettiest ideas for lighting your wedding reception. Did you see the post on ceremony lighting? If not, it is worth a read because for all the reasons lighting is key for your ceremony, it is just as…

Good morning! Monday, Monday, not usually my favourite day of the week (is it anyone’s?) except when I’m doing an inspiration board – and this week’s is a beauty! Mr E and I were lucky enough to have the most wonderful lavender blooming in our gardens all summer, filling our home with its lovely scent…

Who could forget Belle & Bunty‘s 2013 collection, with its feminine, flirty and flattering designs of sumptuous silk and satin (so reminiscent of that Atonement dress) Well, as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as it was, I do believe it has nothing on their 2014 bridal capsule collection! The Belle & Bunty brand has long been synonymous with understated elegance, and…

Hello lovelies! We’re starting the week with a post packed full of pretty. Having looked at Wedding, Bridal and Groom‘s trends for 2014 I thought it was well past time attention was turned to your sisters, cousins and besties; the most important women at a wedding (after you and your Mom of course) your maids! Gone are…
