Having shared some of my favourite, and most vintage infused, of the latest bridal collections (you can see them here, here, here and here if you missed them), and the Top Ten Wedding Trends for 2017, I thought it was time to unveil the Top 11 most beautiful (and wearable!) Bridal Trends for the coming year. From the very…

Ever since Vera Wang opened my eyes to the beauty of a bold colour with her 2012 and 2013 collections, I have been more than a little obsessed with brides abandoning tradition and eschewing the conventional white gown for something a little more dark and oh so decadent. And as the nights draw in and…

Following on from our look at stunning colours for a Fall wedding, today we continue the colour theme with the most beautiful inspiration shoot – because I couldn’t let 2016 disappear without one last nod to the prettiest palette of all! Pantone’s picks for colour of the year, Serenity & Rose Quartz. And this could be…

We may be only half way through 2016, but bridal designers are already unveiling their offerings for 2017 brides, and I couldn’t be more excited! Today I am sharing the Spring 2017 collection from Jenny Packham, ever a favourite here at Chic Vintage Brides (I was a JP bride myself afterall!). Whilst it was presented in a…

A wedding described as ‘vintage in pastels with a high tea reception’ is my idea of perfection, but that is just the start of the loveliness of today’s English Countryside inspired wedding from Jac & Heath Photography…… Add to the high tea reception, the quaintest venue, a marquee decked out in DIY bunting, a rainbow wedding…

Albert Camus wrote “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” And inspiration shoots like this elegant beauty from Rebecca Rose Events and Archetype photography, full of turning leaves and gorgeous golden light, capture the essence of that sentiment perfectly…… The historic Twickenham House in Jefferson, North Carolina, was the perfect backdrop to this opulent Autumn wedding…

Ooh do I have something special for you today! You may remember, if you saw it, the boho-vintage wedding inspiration shoot I shared a couple of weeks ago in that lovely palette of lavender? (If you missed it, do take a peek, because it was a beauty!) Well today, the same creative team are back with…

Ooh do I have something special for you today! Something seriously swoon-worthy; with an air of magic and positively brimming with romance. Ladies, this gorgeous elopement not only features beautiful heels by Chic Vintage Brides sponsor Bella Belle Shoes, but also a bespoke red wedding dress by one of my very favourite designers Joanne Fleming; and with images from…

It has been bitter cold here this week, Winter has well and truly arrived! So preparing today’s post and dreaming of Summer has been the perfect way to warm and brighten my day. Having looked so far on our stroll through Summer wedding ideas at some beautiful Rose stationery, the most elegant Summer tablescapes, stunning…

Following on from last Monday’s glimpse of the gorgeous tea length gowns in House of Mooshki’s 2016 Bridal collection (which, if you missed it, really is a must see), we’re starting this week with something a little extra special from designer of the moment Jenny Packham and last month’s Bridal Market. If you love art deco decadence and ethereal elegance…

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…

We are kicking off the week with some serious style! If you loved the perfect styling of Kate & Andrie’s Speakeasy inspired wedding soiree, then you are going to love Ursula & Chris’s bold and beautiful Sydney wedding. Who wouldn’t love a wedding that features a bride wearing red, a Vintage VW Camper, an icecream truck, a rocking…

Good morning! How was your weekend? Fabulous I hope! Ours was wet and windy so I spent much of yesterday working, although it hardly felt like work at all – did you see my first Style Icon post of 2014? I enjoyed writing it so much, I think it is going to be the first of…

Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous weekend and is ready for the start of a new week. I was strangely eager when my alarm went off this Monday morning, thanks to today’s post. I LOVE wedding dresses! Now, that may be considered something of an obvious pre-requisite for a wedding blogger, but I…
