Today I am bringing you the third in a series of 5 DIY posts from the brilliant (and lovely) Haley of The Bride Link, and after a decor DIY and an edible DIY, today’s is a beauty DIY – in every sense of the word! A romantic updo, with a loose and relaxed feel that makes it not only…

Good morning, I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I am just popping in quickly today, to share with you the latest collection of beautiful veils and delicate bridal hair adornments from one of Chic Vintage Brides much loved sponsors Elibre Handmade. If you have been a follower of CVB for some time, you may remember her…

Last week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons wrapped up our look at all things Deco, so this week we are moving on to the 1950s (as voted for by the followers of CVB on Facebook) Which means for the next few weeks, every Friday, I’ll be looking at a key part of styling your day –…

I might have mentioned it before (once or twice) that, when it comes to fashion, the Art Deco era is one of my absolute favourites, and it’s the hairstyles in particular that always get me swooning! Being both sexy and chic, glamorous and sleek, it is no wonder that almost 100 years later these looks are…

In this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons we’re continuing the bridal accessories theme…

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…

Hello lovelies! I am starting the week this week with some bridal beauty inspiration (something you will be seeing much more of on Chic Vintage Brides in the coming weeks and months) by taking another look at fabulous and fun bridal braids. It hardly seems possible that it has been almost 2 years since my first post on this…

This week is starting to look as though it might have a distinctly Spring feel to it! Did you see yesterday’s Spring wedding inspiration board? Aren’t those pretty shades of blue and greyed jade just the most fab alternative to the traditional pinks and pastels of the season. Today I am continuing our stroll into Spring…

The sight of the lovely Miss Knightley skipping to the town hall to become Mrs Righton inspired me to revisit one of my all time favourite wedding trends, the flower crown! My Whimsical and Wonderful Flower Crown post remains one of your favourites and I can so see why! Beautifully bohemian, relaxed and pretty, super…

In 2 short weeks Chic Vintage Brides will be celebrating its official 1st birthday 🙂 It continues to amaze me that after a year I can still come across somebody so talented, and whose work is so beautiful, I wonder how I could possibly have not discovered them before! Today, I am super excited to…

Ever since my post on Floral Crowns I have been a teeny weeny bit obsessed with Mignonne Handmade, so you can imagine my delight (and how quickly I jumped at the chance) when the incredible lady behind the brand, Jennifer Wood, said she would love Chic Vintage Brides to feature her Winter/Spring 2012 collection and offered a super offer for all you lovely readers….
