Today I am beyond excited to be sharing the utterly dreamy vintage (and I mean real vintage) wedding dresses of Authentic Vintage Bridal. I have spoken before of my love of vintage wedding dresses, not only because of their inimitable feminine style, that hints at a time of romance; but for the glimpse they offer of…

Today’s post is a slight spur of the moment change to what I hand planned to write about and share today. But when you (and I) all got a little crazy over the glimpse on Facebook of the 2015 collection from Rue De Seine, I just knew I couldn’t wait any longer to share it in its…

Claire Pettibone has long been the queen of ethereal elegance and romance – who could forget her Still Life and Decoupage collections? Breathtaking Edwardian inspired visions; brimming with gowns of lace, adorned with fancy floral appliques. ‘Romantique‘, her 2015 collection however, channels a far more free-spirited, dare I say 1970s vibe? Think boho with a hint of…

As someone who started blogging after getting married, as a way to sate my appetite for wedding dresses, without frightening my poor hubby; it is fair to say that there is little I love more than stumbling across a new bridal collection. Especially, when it is as spectacular and utterly breathtaking as Siren Song from Terry Fox…

If you have been following Chic Vintage Brides for a while then you will know just what to expect from Gwendolynne, one of Australia’s leading bridal designers (and favourite of mine – you can see more of her work on CVB here, here and you absolutely must see this!) If you’re new to the blog…

Oh I am so excited about today’s post! You might have glimpsed over the last few weeks, if you follow Chic Vintage Brides on Facebook and Pinterest, some of the most exquisite vintage wedding dresses you ever will – I mean seriously, seriously stunning! (and at a steal of a price for their age and…

If you follow Chic Vintage Brides on Facebook you may have seen how I have been whiling away my lunch times this week – looking at the most wonderful vintage wedding dresses; and I certainly stumbled across some absolute beauties. So this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons (my Friday fab 5) is dedicated entirely to…

Now I love a designer wedding dress as much as the next girl – I wore Jenny Packham myself and Vera Wang never fails to wow me with her beautiful use of colour. However much I adore these designers and their gorgeous gowns though, I have a special place in my heart for independent boutique…

Who could forget Belle & Bunty‘s 2013 collection, with its feminine, flirty and flattering designs of sumptuous silk and satin (so reminiscent of that Atonement dress) Well, as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as it was, I do believe it has nothing on their 2014 bridal capsule collection! The Belle & Bunty brand has long been synonymous with understated elegance, and…

Aaahhh Jenny Packham. A designer who has long had my heart (and of course I am in good company – didn’t the ever chic DoC look just lovely in that bespoke black dress on the recent trip to NZ?) I was a JP bride myself and her modern take on the enduring elegance of eras…

Now, I love a designer wedding dress as much as the next girl (I was a Jenny Packham bride after all) but I am also firmly of the belief that as magical as your wedding day is, and as much as it should be everything you dreamed of and more, it should not break the bank! Nor does it…

Morning lovelies! And how are we this fine Monday? No, no, don’t let the M word get you down for I have the prettiest of posts to start the week. It was somewhat inspired by Friday’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons – did you see it? Picking just 5 favourite wedding dresses from last week was no…

Whoop, whoop for the weekend ladies, not long to go now – get that Shiraz open and breathing! And what a week it has been! Starting with some Spring Wedding Inspiration in an alternative palette to the traditional pastels and pinks (what did you think?), more Spring wedding ideas with Mignonne Handmade‘s new beautiful Silk…

Much as I love vintage inspired wedding dresses, I can not help but feel more than a little envious of brides lucky enough to wear a truly vintage bridal gown. I get a touch of the green eyed monster every time I gaze upon a bride bedecked in a dress lovingly handed down from their…

Ah Friday, fabulous Friday, where have you been all week? I am so pleased to see you! All these early morning wake up calls of a puppy desperate for a play are beginning to take their toll! I am looking forward to a long lie in tomorrow (thanks to Mr E who will be on…
