Good morning lovelies, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! With Spring just around the corner, I want to share with you this morning one of my very favourite bridal trends of the moment, which couldn’t be any prettier or more perfect for the season – floral wedding dresses! A floral wedding dress makes a blooming (sorry,…

Yes, you read that right, our favourite bridal shoe designer Emmy London has created a stunning new collection for Spring 2015, including beautiful flats and kitten heels! With all the same exquisite embellishment and details we have come to expect and adore from Emmy’s designs they are sure to have you swooning and are guaranteed to outshine…

Good morning lovelies! We’re continuing the distinctly Spring theme to this week’s posts (I hope you didn’t miss Monday’s fabulous real wedding with that lush bridal bouquet, or the gorgeous Lavender & Lilac wedding inspiration board – do go and take a peek if you did) with today’s heavenly blossom filled inspiration shoot from Jen Fariello Photography! In the most…

Following on from yesterday’s elegant Spring wedding (did you see that bouquet?? *swoon*) today I have more beautiful ideas for a Spring wedding for you with a romantic inspiration board infused with delicate shades of lavender and lilac.

Good morning lovelies! I couldn’t be any more excited (or proud) to be sharing with you today an EXCLUSIVE first glimpse of Myra Callan’s new 2015 Bridal Collection for Twigs & Honey “Bodies of Water.” A collection that features stunning silhouettes, delicate lace, intricate beading and elaborate embroideries; and that encapsulates everything we love and look…

I have often spoken of my dream of owning a wedding dress boutique here on Chic Vintage Brides; and my love of losing myself in the latest wedding dress designs. So I am sure it will come as little surprise to you that nothing makes my day more than receiving an email from a designer asking me to share…

Despite the fact it is Summer here in NZ, it has been something of a wet and miserable day today. So I thought with this week’s inspiration board I would whisk us all away to somewhere lovely – and warm! Inspired by the charming stone houses of Provence, with their pretty shuttered windows, I chose a palette of soft blues, blush…

For those of you are new to the blog, Saturday’s posts are dedicated to those people who inspire and enable me to write Chic Vintage Brides.

Good morning lovelies. You may remember back in November I shared the beautiful new collection of bridal hair accessories by Chic Vintage Brides favourite Erica Elizabeth Designs (if you are new to the blog and haven’t seen it, do take a peek here because it is utterly enchanting!) and in it, there was mention of an…

Hello lovelies! Ahhh the start of another new week already, where did that weekend go? Really, is it just me or is January flying by?? Speaking of flying (See what I did there?? Sorry, we’ll have to agree to put that one down to Monday morning madness!), today’s vintage inspired engagement session is just too adorable not…

If you’ve been enjoying this week’s garden wedding themed posts (so far there’s been a romantic Garden wedding inspiration board, BHLDN’s Painted Garden collection for Spring 2015 and a beautiful Secret Garden inspiration shoot) as much as I have, you’ll be pleased to hear we’re finishing the week with a floral flourish and a Snippets, Whispers &…

Those of you who saw it will no doubt remember the early glimpse the lovely folks over at BHLDN gave us of their Spring 2015 Collection before Christmas (if you missed it, or just want a reminder, you can have a look here) Well, since you loved it so much (it was one of the…

Hello lovelies! Well its nearly the weekend, which, as those of you who are regulars will know, can only mean one thing – time for my weekly roundup of Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons. To those of you who are newly engaged and therefore new to Chic Vintage Brides  (Congratulations!! I hope you didn’t miss Monday’s post – it was a must…

Having looked at the most perfect palettes, gorgeous bouquets, dashing grooms, magical tablescapes, wow bridesmaids and the yummiest wedding cakes for a Winter wedding, I do believe we are coming to the end of our Winter wander – just in time for the holidays! For today’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons, to finish of the series (ready to start afresh with Spring in the New Year!)…
