I have a romantic treat for you today! In the form of the most lovely garden wedding inspiration board in a pretty palette of soft pink and lush green. I just love these soft shades against lush garden surroundings. Add a splash of palest yellow and a hint of blush, and you have a palette that…

I have a little something seasonal and special for you today. In celebration of the holiday, in a classic colour palette of red, white and blue, some chic Summer wedding inspiration just perfect for the 4th July! Bouquet ~ Carte Blanche Design, Photography ~ Rachel Solomon via Hey Wedding Lady You may recognise the colour palette from these…

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 &…

Autumn is my favourite time of year, and so as the leaves start to turn and fall here in New Zealand I couldn’t help but be inspired to use some rich seasonal berry-coloured hues in today’s inspiration board. Wanting to create a versatile palette though, one that would be just as lovely for a Spring (or Summer)…

I am more than a little bit smitten with today’s Spring wedding inspiration board! The fresh colour palette was inspired by those welcome first buds that let us know warmer days are on their way. Mixed with a splash of gold and a hint of sparkle, it is elegant, lush, utterly timeless and my idea of heaven!….. Photography…

Today I am back with the fourth, and final, post in this series of guest inspiration boards from a few of my favourite wedding bloggers, and what a beauty we are finishing with. Sonia from Want That Wedding has chosen a darkly romantic colour palette to create the most dreamy inspiration infused with Art deco decadence……..

Today in this series of inspiration boards from other bloggers I love and admire, I have something rather chic from the lovely Chelsea of Tidewater & Tulle. I have long been an admirer of her elegant, with a hint of preppy chic, inspiration boards, and have been lucky enough to get to know her over the…

Happy Valentines Day my loved up lovelies! Many of you will be stumbling across my blog today as an excited, newly engaged bride-to-be after saying yes this morning to your romantic beau – a hearty welcome and congratulations to you!! Do stop a while and have a look around, you might want to have a read of these…

Today I am back with the second in this series of guest posts from my favourite wedding bloggers from around the world. Whilst the first, from the lovely Tamika of Bajan Wed, was a Winter beauty (you catch up here if you missed it – it really was a must see!), today’s is a Spring delight in…

I am excited to be bringing you, over the next couple of months, some guest posts from some of my favourite wedding bloggers from around the world, in the form of beautiful inspiration boards. For me this is an opportunity to introduce you to the blogs and bloggers who are a constant source of inspiration (and…

It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here! Last night Mr E and I decorated our tree and today I placed our first presents beneath its branches – only 9 more sleeps to go, and I can not wait. Less so for the presents, as for the quiet time with family, relaxing and…

Today’s inspiration board was all about showing you how a few different shades of just one colour can create a clean and chic colour palette for your wedding – and that brown is anything but boring! I really think over the years it has had something of a bad rap, but in fact it can…

Happy Halloween! I couldn’t let today pass without popping in and sharing this year’s Halloween wedding inspiration board, especially after you all loved last year’s (which you can see here if you are new to Chic Vintage Brides or missed it) so much! Where last year I went with the traditional colour palette of orange…

As my last inspiration board was inspired by a shade from Pantone’s picks for Spring 2016, I thought for this week’s I would look back to their Fall 2015 palette for a colour perfect for an Autumn affair, and re-discovered the beautiful shade of blue-grey that is ‘Stormy Weather‘. But this time, rather than imagining…

Today’s wedding inspiration board was inspired by your favourite shade from Pantone‘s Top 10 colours for Spring 2016 (in case you missed them, you can catch up here and here), the lovely Lilac Gray. Of all the pretty shades I shared a couple of weeks ago, it was by far the most popular, with twice as many…
