Morning lovelies! I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday’s post (it was Part I of today’s so it is here if you missed it) I certainly loved pulling it together – perusing the 2014 catwalks and collections of the very top wedding dress designers from around the world and choosing the top 10 wedding dress trends for…

Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous weekend and is ready for the start of a new week. I was strangely eager when my alarm went off this Monday morning, thanks to today’s post. I LOVE wedding dresses! Now, that may be considered something of an obvious pre-requisite for a wedding blogger, but I…

Christmas Eve Eve….. wow has Christmas come around quick this year! I am finally feeling more prepared for it after a weekend of shopping and wrapping (accompanied of course by Love Actually and a glass of sherry) – how about you, are you on top of everything for Christmas? Last Christmas I went with a fabulous…

Following on from last week’s post full of the most perfect bridesmaids dresses for the festive season (if you missed it, go take a peek, there are some seriously droolworthy dresses in a swanky palette of gold, black, silver and ivory) I thought I would turn my attention this week to the all important bride…

It has always felt a little unfair that Kiwi brides-to-be have to travel across the ditch or even further to sample the delights of designer bridal fashion. Well, no longer is that the case thanks to Wellington’s chic little bridal boutique Paperswan Bride (if you need a memory jog of just how chic this boutique is, take a look here…..heavenly!) who have…

It hardly seems possible that it has been almost 6 months since the wonderful Jessica Fontaine launched her first collection under the fabulous new label Rose & Delilah and even more hard to believe that she has already managed to design and create a beautiful second collection which she has so aptly named ‘Oh Lovely Lace’…….

Thanks to the much anticipated release of Baz Luhrman’s Great Gatsby on the big screen we have seen a return to favour for 1920′s silhouettes and everything Art Deco throughout 2013 (and long may it continue!) But Art Deco isn’t just a trend for Johanna Johnson, it is in her DNA, the designer never strays from this most inspiring era and few do Deco better…

If you follow Chic Vintage Brides on Facebook you may have already seen the fabulous ‘Ombre and Lumiere’ inspiration shoot from Gwendolynne, as I could not resist sharing it the moment I caught sight of it!! For anyone who missed it though, here it is in all of its glory…..

I was born in the wrong time! As nothing makes my knees weak quite like the golden age of Hollywood in all of its glamorous glory. And this Bridal Fashion shoot featuring the gorgeous, old Hollywood inspired designs of Melbourne based Bridal Designer Cathleen Jia, packed full of the sophisticated opulence of the era, has me completely…

There is literally no other Bridal designer on earth like Claire Pettibone (I love Vera Wang for her boldness, Monique Lhuillier for her romantic drama and Jenny Packham for her deco decadence) but Claire Pettibone with her entrancing wedding dresses, never fails to take my breath away – and make me wish I could get married…

Many of the world’s most stylish women have long been devotees of designer Naeem Khan. Committed to adorning elegant women in clothes befitting their refinement, since his eponymous collection in 2003, his glittering fan base of starlets and socialites includes Beyonce, Penelope Cruz, Emily Blunt, Michelle Obama and Queen Noor of Jordan, and his designs…

British born Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig’s Marchesa fashion empire, has been defined by elegant and extravagant designs  that fuse exquisite detailing with supreme femininity.

I am more than a little embarrassed that this is the first year Theia is being featured on Chic Vintage Brides, indeed I am hanging my head in shame as I write this post. For those of you who haven’t heard of Theia, it is the label of Irish Designer Don O’Neill, who trained at Christian…

The unveiling of  Jenny Packham collections are always special, the designer does deco like no other! She has a way of designing a dress that is unequivocally evocative of eras past and yet equally perfect for the modern bride. Each collection is met with eager anticipation – and speculation at which will be the next…

Whilst we can always rely on Vera Wang to push the bridal boundary in terms of colour, there is one designer who reigns supreme when it comes to evoking romance through exquisite embellishment; and that designer is of course Monique Lhuillier. Not one to shy away from colour herself, the designer’s Fall 2014 collection included shades…
