I have (often, I’m sure) mentioned on Chic Vintage Brides my dream of owning a wedding dress boutique and my love of losing myself in the latest wedding dress designs, and so I am sure it will come as little surprise that one of my favourite emails to receive is one from a designer asking me to…

It was the unveiling of her Fall 2012 Collection a whole year ago that first drew me to the contemporary romantic designer Luisa Beccaria and her classically timeless gowns, but if that collection was beautiful, her Fall 2013 collection is absolutely breathtaking!….. Luisa chose the timeless elegance of the 30s as her muse and the…

I have talked before about my love of Alice Temperley‘s timeless, feminine designs; and last month the vintage, ethereal and bohemian London based design house showcased their latest beautiful collection….. The Temperley Bridal Spring 2014 Titania Collection conveys an elegance and sophistication with a selection of exquisite silhouettes that celebrate the female form; combining meticulous detail and embellishments…

How could anyone not adore the sight of Keira Knightley skipping to the Town Hall hand in hand with her beau looking oh so happy, not to mention chic and cute in her short tulle wedding dress and flower crown….. There is going to be many a disappointed bride-to-be hoping to buy the new Mrs…

No designer creates outfits for the modern-day goddess quite like Jenny Packham and her recently unveiled Spring 2014 Collection, inspired by the Belle Epoque, contained everything we have come to expect from this deco-divine designer – vintage-inspired dresses that simply ooze glamour and luxury, sleek sheaths and stunning gowns with plunging necklines, shimmering with embroidery and embellishments….. From the great lady…

Oooh it was going to be pretty tough to top yesterday’s post for gown gorgeousness – Karen Willis Holme’s 2013 Collection really is breathtaking….. but if any designer can be trusted to create a collection that exudes luxury and is packed full of wow, it is Monique Lhuillier! Monique’s innate sense of style and understanding of…

Today I am sharing the latest breathtaking collection from Karen Willis Holmes, one of Australia’s premier wedding dress designers (you may remember her wonderful modern designs with a hint of old world glamour from my first KWH post) Well, her latest offering features sophisticated and stylish gowns that exude femininity, and designs that mix old world…

Vera Wang‘s latest collection is ever the much anticipated event. You can always trust VW to push the bridal boundaries, and to create a collection of bridal gowns to make you gasp (who could forget this time last year, her beautifully bold exploration of red!) And her 2014 Collection unveiled this week at NY Bridal Market is no exception………

I am loving Chic Vintage Brides‘ new Wedding Wisdom posts, remembering all the little things I wish I had known when I was a bride-to-be and sharing industry insider top hints and tips.

Be prepared to be wowed! Chic Vintage Brides has shared a fair number of inspiration shoots but never one so breathtakingly beautiful!

It may look a little…

I don’t know about you but there are few dresses that have set my heart racing as much as THAT dress in Atonement. Now if like me some 6 years later (that’s right, 6 already!?!) it continues to be your idea of glamorous vintage perfection then you are just going to L O V E…

Oh where to even find the adjectives and superlatives to describe Johanna Johnson‘s latest collection?! So unforgettable was her last collection The Luxor that it hardly seems possible a year has passed since its launch. And if you thought, as I did then, that nothing could surpass it – just wait until you see ‘Still…
