With Halloween just around the corner, and inspired by the dress in this stunning editorial, I thought we would celebrate with something a little seasonal today. A black wedding dress is the perfect choice for a spooky celebration on All Hallow’s Eve. It is also the beautiful choice for all of you bold and fashion forward brides wishing…

Weddings are all about love and romance, and what material represents that more than lace?? With its delicate threads, often woven into floral fancies, it is a long loved favourite for brides. And although the wedding world might be seeing a shift more towards understated minimal dresses, for the vintage loving bride lace will always…

I think I may have a new favourite designer! If you’re a regular visitor to Chic Vintage Brides you may remember his 1930s inspired 2019 bridal collection, well Zuhair Murad has done it again and utterly wowed me (and the wedding world) with his offering for 2020. His royal wedding worthy bridal gowns have been…

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…

For the last couple of years, as well as unveiling the latest collections from the likes of Claire Pettibone, Jenny Packham, Pronovias (designers I LOVE), I have also each year searched out some of the most breathtaking budget-friendly wedding dresses (take a peek if you missed those I found in 2014 and 2015) Because I know what…

This is my 5th year of blogging, and yet seeing the new bridal collections sashay down the catwalk never gets boring! Every year I look forward to the latest lace, silk, and tulle fantasies being unveiled, and ever year they wow me more and more; but never more so than the exquisite offerings for 2017. Today,…

For some time now there has been one name synonymous with utterly romantic lace wedding dresses, and its none of the ones you might expect – I am not talking Monique Lhuillier, or Elie Saab, or any of the big designer names you see grace the runways of New York each year! Oh no, this is…

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…

If you have been a visitor to Chic Vintage Brides for some times, or are a follower on Pinterest, you will no doubt have glimpsed the gorgeous bridal gowns in Katya Katya Shehurina’s 2016 collection ‘Venice’ (if you haven’t though, you will most definitely want to!) Well today I am beyond excited to be sharing…

It seems my obsession with, and your love of, long sleeve wedding dresses is going nowhere! And so, with a year having passed since my last post, I thought it was about time I indulged again, and took a look at what bridal designers have created for 2016 – yep, all of these dresses will be in…

If you are a regular visitor to Chic Vintage Brides you may well be familiar with the beautiful bridal gowns by Rose & Delilah (you can see past posts featuring their beautiful designs here) I make no secret of my love for their exquisitely delicate and timelessly elegant wedding dresses, and so I couldn’t be any more delighted to be unveiling…

If you are a regular visitor to Chic Vintage Brides, then you probably saw the glamorous rustic wedding of Anna Campbell Rowlands, Founder and Creative Director of Australian bridal label Anna Campbell; and I have no doubt if you saw it you would have swooned over her 4 (yep you read that right, FOUR!) wedding dresses! Its…

If you are one of Chic Vintage Brides regular visitors, then you will no doubt be familiar with the beautiful bridal gowns by Claire Pettibone. I make no secret of my admiration for her quite simply exquisite design style (in fact, you will find all of her past collections of recent years here); I just adore the way she draws inspiration from the Edwardian era…

Following on from yesterday’s romance filled engagement shoot, we are continuing the romantic theme with the most stunning shoot capturing the beautiful new bridal collection from one of my favourite designers, Karen Willis Holmes. If that name is new to you, you won’t have to scroll much further to see why she is one of Australia’s…

As we’re approaching the end of this series of 1950s themed Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons, I thought it was about time we focused on the most important detail of any wedding, 1950s inspired or otherwise. I am of course talking THE dress! And with many of the fashion details so popular back then on trend again, you lucky brides looking to…
