Good morning, I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I am just stopping by today to introduce you to one of my favourite finds of late, and one of Chic Vintage Brides newest sponsors, Bella Belle.

Recently I’ve been starting the week with an oggle at some of the stunning new collections for 2016, sharing the latest lovelies from top bridal designers such as Claire Pettibone, Jenny Packham and Ersa Atelier. Whilst these names and their dresses may have us all swooning, I’m all too aware that for many brides (and I…

Before I leave you for the weekend, there’s just time for one more thing. Continuing our Summer stroll, after looking at 5 of the most perfect palettes last Friday, for this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons we’re turning our attention to our dapper grooms with 5 of the most stylish looks for a Summer groom….. Don’t get me wrong, there…

Today’s wedding inspiration shoot is a 1920s vision, in fact it could have come directly from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, it is so opulent and dripping in Art Deco details. From the imagination of Sue Gallo, whose work you may remember from this romantic wedding inspiration shoot, and beautifully captured by Ally Kristensen,…

For today’s wedding inspiration board I was inspired by the colour picks recently released by Pantone, and in particular the gorgeous golden yellow you may remember Oak Buff. A stunning shade inspired by nature and with a distinctly vintage feel I knew, as soon as I saw it, it would look so elegant mixed with grey and a dusky pink……..

Good morning! If you have been a regular visitor of Chic Vintage Brides, you will by now be familiar with these 5 perfect palettes posts. They have become a bit of a popular and regular feature since you all loved my 5 Perfect Palettes for an Autumn Wedding so much. To date we have looked at Winter…

Whilst many of you are looking forward to Summer, here in New Zealand we’re coming to the end of my favourite season, Autumn. Although it marks the end of the Summer, there is nothing I love more than nature’s last smile. From the turning of the leaves to the gorgeous golden light, to me there…

Good morning, and I do hope you’ve had a wonderful start to your week. It is a rather wet and miserable day here in the usually sunny Hawkes Bay, the sort of day that makes you feel like snuggling on the sofa in front of an old movie! Luckily, I have just the thing to brighten…

Last week I shared 5 of Pantone’s Top 10 Colours for Fall 2015 and I was chuffed to see you love them just as much as I do – if you missed them, you can catch up here (and if you’re wondering who Pantone are and why the heck you should care what colours they picked, then pop across…

Good morning lovelies! Well today sees the start of a new month (I can’t believe we’re in May already?!) and the end of another week, but before you head off for the weekend I have a post packed full of pretty for your delectation. In this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons we’re continuing the bridal accessories theme…

It feel likes only yesterday that I was sharing Pantone’s pick of colours for Spring 2015 and yet, they have already released their favourites for fall – and if you thought the Spring palette was pretty, just wait until you see the beautiful array of colours they chose for Autumn! Here’s how Pantone, the global authority on…

I don’t know about you but I was quite sad to come to the end of the series of Spring themed Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons last week! Or at least I was until I started thinking about what I could share with you this week!! And I decided that I have been somewhat neglecting the all important bridal…

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…
