When it comes to being inspired for your wedding day look, you can find it anywhere. When I have brides that choose directly from The Bliss Book I am always excited.

in·spi·ra·tion: the act of influencing or suggesting opinions.

Like I always say inspiration can be your beginning point of communication, a stepping stone to your ultimate goal. You may come to your stylist with three inspirational looks that you will want to turn into one. My most recent bride wanted a look from Bliss, but altered to suit her as a person. We changed it to fit her dress, personality and hair type. Lowering the height, leaving some down on the side and no bang.

Use your inspirational photos as references they will be your perfect communication tool for you and your stylist.

Transformed into a picture perfect prom, Nia is a classic beauty. She had consulted and deliberated on her perfect up style to match her vintage dress. I am proud to say she had chosen her style from the pages of The Bliss Book. She has also adorned our pages as one of our models. I am glad to see her day of prom approach and be able to give her inspiration from the pages she helped fill.

The style that was chosen is a more retro vintage style with a modern twist. The Bliss Book is meant to be a guide to help you reach your ultimate style. Some alterations were made to fit Nia, her hair and what she preferred. So in the end we have a beautiful girl ready for her prom.

Thank you Nia for sharing your pictures and choosing Bliss for your inspiration. I hope your look inspires others!

She chose her inspiration from the pages of Bliss pg 116-117.

Where will you find your inspiration?

I love this piece from ban.do it has a soft, vintage feel which can be added to your look for that light glow of color. Even if your look is modern you can add this adornment for added touch of softness. The colors are great, it will show beautifully in any hair color. Be adorned with creativity!

Calling all MOB’s and MOG’s this post is dedicated to you in honor of Mother’s Day and your up coming event. We celebrate you with some inspirational styles that may help you in your decision making. Often I hear from mother’s they do not have choices and they do not know what to do with their hair for the event. You are often the person running around tying up loose ends. As the mother you are one of the most important people at the event so sit down, relax and beautify yourself for this grand moment.

The chignon is perfect a soft loose bun at the nape of you neck sometimes leaving things out around your face. The chignon can be deciphered in many ways but is always elegant and age appropriate. The french twist is perfect for putting your hair up and looking elegant. Again you can have multiple interpretations of the twist. Down can be loosely pulled back from the face with loose wave so that it will not look like a prom do but more of an elegant red carpet style.

If you would like to be more you on that day and not do an up style or a formal style, my suggestion is to see your normal stylist or a stylist that will do a trial. Have your normal every day style but pumped up. Get a blow dry that is full of life add a few loose waves. Short hair add a little bended curl to your everyday style. Whatever you do represent yourself and be proud.

What mom will you be the formal style our the normal style?

I have the great privilege of being the matron of honor in my friends wedding this coming year. I have already started in my head preparing the beauty regimen for my bride and I cannot wait. But as the matron of honor and her stylist I have to set my plan well ahead because the duties are high and the job will be busy.

I have been given the opportunity to choose a black dress of my liking. The venue will be Las Vegas. Elegant, party and fun should all be wrapped up in the look. So today I decided to blog for myself as a matron of honor and for bridesmaids who have choices and looks to achieve.

I found this great dress on Etsy from Isadora Clothing. It has a multitude of options for style and color. I love the feel of the shoulders, the softness and cut. For myself my hair is always a deli-ma. I feel you either know your dress style then your hair follows or your have a visual of your hair and you need to find a dress to match.

My brides hair will be down, so it’s my rule to not match brides with her party. She should stand out and be the focus. So my hair shall be up and I am feeling a larger french twist for some reason. I found a picture of inspiration for starters. This may change with time, but for today we are going to play match the dress with style and accessories.
