If you have been a visitor to Chic Vintage Brides for some times, or are a follower on Pinterest, you will no doubt have glimpsed the gorgeous bridal gowns in Katya Katya Shehurina’s 2016 collection ‘Venice’ (if you haven’t though, you will most definitely want to!) Well today I am beyond excited to be sharing…

Today’s inspiration shoot with its soft, blush-hued palette is sheer perfection!

The Happy Bloom documented the beautiful affair perfectly, so get ready for some serious swooning!….. Here are Justin & Amanda of The Happy Bloom with…

Wedding planning is stressful enough for any couple, so just imagine if in the midst of it all, after booking your venue, your vendors and finding THE dress, you were diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer. Well, that’s exactly what happened to today’s bride Tiffany. I can’t imagine the thoughts and emotions that must run…

After enjoying last week’s summery colour palette so much (it was just what I needed to warm me up as temperatures dropped and Winter finally arrived here in New Zealand) I thought I would take a look at a few of my other favourites colour combinations for the season. You see whilst I may have…

A magnificent country house with sweeping lawns is my idea of venue perfection! Add to it an elegant tablescape, a beautifully ruffled wedding cake and an understated yet chic colour palette, all inspired by heaven and earth, and well, you have today’s gorgeous inspiration shoot from Sharmila Photography and a garden wedding to die for….. To tell us a…

I could stay here all day, lost in today’s truly enchanting inspiration shoot from Bloemenmeisjes! With a fairytale feel it captures the romantic love story of Swan Lake in just the most heavenly way possible – with 2 stunning wedding dresses, the prettiest floral arrangements and a garden wedding scene that is utterly breathtaking. All captured, awash with…

Today I thought we would celebrate the start of Summer (for most of you at least – it has been frrrreezing here in Hawkes Bay today) with a bright and balmy inspiration board in a palette that features not one but two of Pantone’s Top 10 Colours for 2016 – Buttercup Yellow and Snorkel Blue….. Bride &…

Whilst it has been quite some time since this post, Aisle arches are still one of my favourite wedding details! And even more so when they were a little DIY project by the groom like the floral beauty in today’s vintage backyard wedding captured by Jessica Tremp of  Brown Paper Parcel. The whole wedding is awash with…

Today I would like to introduce you to one of my favourite finds of late, and one of Chic Vintage Brides newest sponsors, Edera Jewlery and their 2016 collection of bridal jewlery and hair accessories ‘Aquarelle‘. Featuring headpieces, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and garters it has every finishing touch you could want for your wedding day ensemble….. Edera Jewelry is…

These beautiful images from Rachel Solomon (whose photography you may well remember from this breathtaking bridal shoot) draw us into a romantic vision of olde world elegance – with floral designs that evoke the Dutch masters, an inviting tablescape brimming with texture, the most impeccably styled bride & groom, and the Sunstone Winery for a backdrop; it…

The most beautiful gingko tree in the grounds of an historic home was both the inspiration and setting for today’s lovely Autumn wedding inspiration shoot from Wendy Cooper Photography! Thistle blue and a splash of crimson was added to the gold of the fallen Gingko leaves to create a rich and warm colour palette perfect for an…

It seems my obsession with, and your love of, long sleeve wedding dresses is going nowhere! And so, with a year having passed since my last post, I thought it was about time I indulged again, and took a look at what bridal designers have created for 2016 – yep, all of these dresses will be in…

If you are a regular visitor to Chic Vintage Brides you may well be familiar with the beautiful bridal gowns by Rose & Delilah (you can see past posts featuring their beautiful designs here) I make no secret of my love for their exquisitely delicate and timelessly elegant wedding dresses, and so I couldn’t be any more delighted to be unveiling…

Sometimes an inspiration shoot lands in my inbox that takes my breath away with its beauty (like this one) and sometimes with its creativity (like this one); well today’s incredible shoot from Sue Gallo Designs and Nataschia Wielink floored me with both! With an historic backdrop, the most perfect vintage styling, lush green florals (greenery is such a…

After sharing 5 of Pantone’s Top 10 Colours for Autumn 2016 – you can’t possibly have forgotten those lovely blues and neutrals (if you missed them, or just want a reminder, you can see them here) – today I am back with Part II, which packed with poppy exotic shades that radiate warmth, couldn’t be more different….or more lovely!   Anything but muted…
