I have often spoken of my belief that on your big day, it will be your accessories that complete your look and make you feel like a bride, as much as your dress. And when you start looking for the pieces of pretty to state your chosen style you will find there is a veritable…

The fabulous Twigs & Honey was one of my first blogging (and Etsy) discoveries, I only wish it had been a discovery I made before getting married. Myra Kim, the lovely lady behind all of the adornments and accessories, with a taste for earthy natural forms and architectural structure, and a soft spot for both…

The Birdcage Veil, exuding sophistication with a playful edge and a little bit of vintage quirk, is an increasingly popular alternative to the more traditional  chapel, cathedral and shoulder length veils. Harking back to the 1940s and 1950s, where the classic merry widow netting was attached to pillboxes and hair discs; the glamorous birdcage veil has now…

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…

Did everyone catch the Chic Vintage Brides first yesterday? Two posts in one day, including some limited edition lovelies from Mignonne Handmade. And today I have another post packed full of beautiful bridal accessories for you….. SIBO Designs, founded in the Netherlands by creator Sheila Bobeldijk, creates combs, corsages, sashes, veils and hair pieces that are beyond…

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, this IS today’s second post!….. I think it could be a CVB first?! But I just had to bring you this post after the overwhelmingly talented and sweet Jennifer at Mignonne Handmade shared a dreamy motion picture of her enchanting limited edition pieces exclusive to her Etsy store.  My love of all…

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…

I am so excited today to be sharing the latest collection of a Chic Vintage Brides favourite (and something of a regular) – Mignonne Handmade. And as if that isn’t exciting enough, I also have a CVB exclusive offer from the lovely Jennifer! Since discovering this little Etsy store and becoming enamoured with their wonderful…

After weeks of planning, it was my sister’s baby shower last weekend and it was something of a triumph, even if I do say so myself 🙂 Of course I can take very little credit for it, really all I did was pull the pieces together, the rest was achieved through the online marketplace marvel that is Etsy!…

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….

The exquisite vintage bridal headwear of Twigs & Honey was the subject of one of my first posts, so I could barely contain my excitement when I discovered, through the inimitable Claire Pettibone no less, that not only was a new collection being launched but that it was being captured by Elizabeth Messina, and would feature…

I am so excited about todays post I can hardly stop my fingers from trembling enough for me to type! Thanks to Helen Rodrigues, who is soon to be stocking the London based fashion house, Australian and New Zealand brides can join the long list of admirers of  Alice Temperley‘s delicate and feminine designs (a list…

When I stumbled across the chic and understated wedding of Alex and Ryan on Australian Wedding blog Love Wed Bliss I was instantly drawn to it by the bride’s perfectly vintage birdcage veil, then I swooned over her lovely modern-with-a-hint-of-vintage wedding dress and gasped with joy at her choice of gorgeous green shoes! So of course I had…

One of the best things about Chic Vintage Brides is that it gives me the excuse to spend hours (upon hours, upon hours…) browsing gorgeous bridal gowns, from the very latest collections of the most fabulously talented designers – like Mariana Hardwick!

After my post regarding the flawlessly chic, vintage wedding of Kate Moss and her absolutely stunning veil, I had a mini Juliet cap veil infatuation! As a bride I chose not to have a veil – now I wonder why?! (although I still adore my deco inspired asymmetric hairband!) The incredible Vera Wang says “The wedding veil is at…
