Hello lovelies! Those of you who have been visiting Chic Vintage Brides for some time, may remember back before Christmas, after you all loved my 5 Perfect Palettes for an Autumn Wedding so much, that I promised the perfect palette posts would become a more regular feature. Well, after a long cold Winter for many…

Just in case Tuesday’s gorgeous Parisian love shoot wasn’t enough to get you feeling all inspired for Valentines Day and in the mood for romance, today I have the sweetest inspiration board in a palette that is utterly gorgeous. So on trend and with a retro edge it is perfect for a Valentines Day surprise, a…

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…

Whilst here in NZ the summer is a scorcher, meaning lots of lovely lazy days in the garden and dining outdoors (which always makes me feel a little Mediterranean?!) I know many of you remain in the midst of Winter, so I am starting the week with a Winter warmer for you! A romantic Spring wedding inspiration board in…

I know I’ve said it before, and  I am sure I will say it again, because there really is no better time of year to get married than New Year! Naturally, as a New Year’s Eve bride myself I am completely biased, but NYE is all about celebrations and what better excuse for a big bash…

Good morning lovelies and Merry Christmas Eve’s Eve. I don’t know about you, but I can definitely hear the sleigh bells ringing! Our presents are all wrapped and sitting under the tree, the sherry is open and I think it could be time for the customary annual viewing of Love Actually (its just not Christmas…

Good morning lovelies, and say a big hello to December! It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here, and this weekend I could resist the urge to decorate no longer. So, after a quick dash into town for a few extra decs Mr E and I spent yesterday afternoon putting up our tree,…

Hello lovelies! You may remember I promised some weeks ago, after you all loved the Autumn wedding colour palettes I shared, that these perfect palette posts would become a more regular feature and today I thought it was about time I delivered on that promise (OK, so I confess, I rather loved the post too and…

Good morning! With the start of November already upon us (can you believe it? I don’t know where this year has gone – our little pickle turns 1 this week!) I thought it was time for a more wintery wedding inspiration board. There is one colour palette always perfect for any Winter (or Autumn) wedding…

Good morning lovelies! Don’t worry it is definitely Friday, so I apologise for the absence of the usual Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons. It is simply that in celebration of today’s date, I thought an Inspiration Board was called for. Halloween would be such a fun time of the year to get married (just imagine the…

Hello lovelies! It’s been rather a perfect start to the week here, with nothing but blue skies, the birds singing in the trees and yesterday’s gorgeous glamping engagement session. I hope you didn’t miss it because with a teepee, a flower crown and the most magical dusk light it really was something special. It made me wish, even more than ever,…

Good morning lovelies! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was sun filled and fabulous, and left me feeling all inspired! As my last inspiration board was distinctly Autumnal (full of gorgeous jewel shades take a look here if you missed it) I decided today’s should have more of a lighter summery feel. And nothing says…

So, yesterday I shared 5 of Pantone’s Top 10 Colours for Spring 2015 Weddings- if you missed it, you can see it here (and read all about who the heck Pantone are and why you should care what colours they picked!) I promised then that you wouldn’t have to wait long for the second 5, so without…

Good morning! A couple of weeks ago Pantone released their colour picks for Spring 2015 and it has me, and indeed the whole wedding world, rather excited. Now you may be wondering who the heck is Pantone? And, why on earth should you care what colours they pick for next Spring? Well, remember last year how…

Hello lovelies! It’s been a rather beautiful beginning to the week here, with the sun out, the birds singing and yesterday’s breathtaking elopement. I hope you didn’t miss it because with a flower crown adorned bride in a Claire Pettibone dress,  and a stunning backdrop it really was rather special. Proof that elopements can be just…
