Hello lovelies and happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed safe and healthy holidays and are now feeling, as I am, glad to see the back of 2020 and hopeful for 2021. Whether you’re a regular follower of Chic Vintage Brides, a friend, new visitor or fleeting passer by, it really is lovely to…

Summer may be the season of choice for most couples, but I don’t believe there is a prettier season than Winter to get married: beautiful light, the snowy backdrops and long nights for celebrations to continue into…. Having said that of course they aren’t without their challenges, and staying warm yet elegant in falling temperatures…

Quite a few of the weddings and inspiration shoots I have shared on Chic Vintage Brides of late have included Vow Books, it is one of the biggest, and most delightful, trends in weddings over recent years: couples writing their own vows. And I absolutely love it, because what makes a wedding truly memorable isn’t…

The most beautiful part of any wedding is when two people commit to love each other for life. So why make it about anything else? That’s exactly how Valerie and Jesse felt when they decided to elope to the stunning Tuscan Countryside of Northern Italy. The couple exchanged their vows in the most romantic ceremony…

The last post before breaking for the holidays, and what a stunner it is! Because when it comes to describing Magdalena and Sebastian’s wedding, magical would be an understatement. From the couple’s timeless style and their historical church ceremony, to the chandelier & candlelit palace reception, not to mention the  snow dusted backdrop of Salzburg, it…

Before we all turn our attention to Christmas and get lost in a Winter Wonderland I wanted to take one last look at Fall with some of the most fabulous (both traditional, contemporary and unconventional) color palettes for couples considering a wedding at this time of year. Whilst I was a Winter bride myself, if…

With Halloween just around the corner, and inspired by the dress in this stunning editorial, I thought we would celebrate with something a little seasonal today. A black wedding dress is the perfect choice for a spooky celebration on All Hallow’s Eve. It is also the beautiful choice for all of you bold and fashion forward brides wishing…

Oh yes, in this romantic Spring wedding inspiration board it is easy to see why we still love greenery so much! It is such a purse-friendly way to create a lush look on your wedding day (and bring the outside in, if you’re planning an in door celebration), and I thought its organic touch would be heavenly for…

Today’s fairytale wedding takes us all the way to Phuket, Thailand. Tammy & Kenneth’s beautiful celebration at Paresa Phuket is an elegant, and oh-so-romantic, floral filled affair that shows an exotic destination wedding doesn’t have to mean beaches and palm trees….. oh and the palette of soft purples and pinks couldn’t be any prettier! I always say…

Envisioning a wildly romantic wedding, inspired by nature, Jenn & Teague set about planning a woodland celebration in the grounds of their venue Rigmor House, with strong greenery elements and little touches of Celtic tradition throughout as a nod to the couples ancestral roots. Of course almost 2 years of planning couldn’t stop mother nature from…

Choosing the perfect photographer to capture your wedding can be a daunting task. Your photographs last a lifetime, a much loved reminder of one of the most magical days of your life, long after the day is over. So getting your choice of photographer right, is quite possibly the most important decision you will make…

Alex and Amanda planned an intimate wedding filled with meaning; and to say their day was perfect would be an understatement. From the palette of berry pink and charcoal grey, to the succulent filled florals and elegant mismatched bridesmaids, the couple considered every detail, whilst not forgetting what was really important – becoming husband and…

Set in the sleepy trees at Stonebridge Weddings (previously Lange Farm), this impossibly romantic styled wedding shoot is the perfect combination of vintage and contemporary. Cassandra from Ever After Vintage Weddings took intricate lace as her inspiration and infused it throughout, layering seasonal blooms in the softest palette of pinks and cream, an elegant tablescape and a…

Now you’re engaged your head must be spinning! And thoughts will have already turned to wedding planning, but before you jump into choosing color palettes or planning seating arrangements, take a moment to tick off one very important task. For when it isn’t sparkling away on your finger, you will definitely be wanting somewhere befittingly…
