I hope your Monday morning hasn’t started as wet and miserably as mine has. But if it has, I have just the thing to brighten your day! Do you remember the gorgeous Autumn wedding colour palettes I shared a couple of weeks ago? Well, it seems you loved them as much as I did. In fact…

Hello lovelies! I hope you have had a marvelous start to your week. I have to say we kicked the week off with something of a bang here on Chic Vintage Brides with yesterday’s super stylish vintage inspired wedding! I don’t know about you but I love how the bold and beautiful bride wore red –…

Whilst we are looking forward to the start of Spring here in NZ – warmer days, later nights, gardens filled with flowers and BBQs with friends; I confess Autumn remains my favourite season! In fact, I am more than a little envious of you starting to see the leaves turn and planning trips to the…

Good morning lovelies! And how was your weekend? Ours felt decidedly Spring-like with warm sunny days, lambs in the fields and daffodils raising their sunny heads in the garden….it’s a lovely time of year! I realise that whilst I am looking forward to Spring many of you are shuddering at the thought of Autumn. So,…

Good morning! I have something a little seasonal, and special, for you today. What could be a better way to see in the first day of July, than with a romantic yet fun wedding inspiration board in honour of the upcoming holiday weekend for all of you US-based brides-to-be! (don’t worry though, I haven’t forgotten those…

Good morning lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine was busy and mostly spent clearing out our spare room – I am finally going to get an office, yay (cue big cheers, fireworks and a celebratory dance) It has only been a year since we moved into our new home! Now that the room is clear,…

Good morning lovelies! With Summer just around the corner for so many of you, and feeling all inspired by that breathtaking beach inspiration shoot from Kirill Bordon Photography (if you missed it do take a peek here, it really couldn’t be any prettier!) I couldn’t resist a beach wedding inspiration board incorporating those lovely shades of blue and…

Good morning! Monday, Monday, not usually my favourite day of the week (is it anyone’s?) except when I’m doing an inspiration board – and this week’s is a beauty! Mr E and I were lucky enough to have the most wonderful lavender blooming in our gardens all summer, filling our home with its lovely scent…

Welcome to the weekend lovelies! Don’t you just love a short week and a long weekend. I hope you have some wonderful plans for your Easter weekend. My weekend is going to be particularly long as Mr E and I are away on a mini holiday next week; our first ‘family’ holiday with Bodie. Don’t…

Good morning, and how was your weekend? Mine, I spent feeling all inspired by the turning of the leaves in the park and that low, warm sunlight that can only mean one thing – Autumn is on its way! As with my Spring wedding inspiration from a couple of weeks back, I decided to look past…

Hello lovelies, another Monday is upon us. But despair not, because do I have the loveliest inspiration board for you today! Especially for all those of you coming to the end of Winter, I have mixed shades of blue with the greyed jade to create a bright and pretty palette just perfect for a Spring wedding……..

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…

Hello lovelies! I’m afraid so, yes, it is Monday already – where did that weekend disappear to so quickly? I feel as though I hardly had a chance to greet it when it was gone. Anyway, to brighten this Monday morning, and especially for those of you shivering and suffering in the polar vortex, I…

Tomorrow Mr E and I celebrate our 3rd anniversary! That’s right New Year’s Eve 2010 (2 months before we moved to the other side of the world) in the late afternoon of a snowy December, as the sun started to set we were exchanging our vows. Words can’t describe the joy of that day, even…

So, it isn’t just me then that thinks Christmas is the most romantic time of year, because apparently Christmas Eve is the most popular day for proposals! Which means many of you are newly engaged, super excited brides-to-be coming to Chic Vintage Brides for the first time, and so let me say a heartfelt congratulations…
