Imagine Three hair & make-up (creators of Bliss) had the opportunity this week to do a fashion show at a local high school. We pulled one of the looks from The Bliss Book and recreated it. We threw in a flower, stolen from a small child, for some fun. The make-up was changed to a more glowy bronzed look. I am excited about this post because I get to show you both the look from The Bliss Book the recreated look with a dress option.

All the dresses for the Milan High School Prom Fashion Show were provided by David’s Bridal.

Check out the different hair adornments chosen to create a pop of color. This white dress is great because the accessory options are endless.

This week we are going to dedicate to prom. It’s the season and everyone should be gearing up for the dress find, then the accessories, the right shoes and what the heck to do with your hair. So we are going to play match the dress with accessories and hair. A fun little inspiration palette to get your game on and look your best on prom day.

Everyone has their own individual style and it should shine on events like these. Face it girls these are the days we have to look forward to, looking beautiful and showing off the best. So show your style in your dress choice, hair and accessories.

The shoulder are out, so by wearing your hair up you will look stunning. But you can definantly have a down do with this dress. I would suggest making it a more dressy style than casual, because the dress is so red carpet. The picture shows a short style that is more of a sleek look which does look good. You can either go with a curly or sleek style with this choice of dress. But big and bold says it all with accessories and hair.

Click on the picture and they will take you directly to the accessory and dress.

We look to our icons to set the trends. I was so happy to see so many up styles this past Golden Globe and Oscar season. My most favorite one so far has been Sandra Bullock’s from the Golden Globes. So perfectly waved and that piece of hair dangles just right. I wanted to pick some of my most favorite styles for the season that can fit almost any dress style, age bracket and festivity.

Sandra Bullock Golden Globes Tendril, loose wave beauty.

Kate Winslet 82nd Annual Academy Awards Setting the stage with her classic waves. Perfect for any age and occasion.

Penelope Cruz 82nd Annual Academy Awards The classic bun is so elegant. Its position can be changed to create different looks.

Vera Farmiga 82nd Annual Academy Awards The height and softness creates a great view. Giving openness to her beautiful face.

Mariah Carey 82nd Annual Academy Awards Soft curly waves are always fun and say your ready for the party.

Helen Mirren 82nd Annual Academy Awards Stunning and beautiful. This look for any age is appropriate and beautiful. Adding detail around to the face creates subtle softness.

Kristin Stewart 82nd Annual Academy Awards HOT! This is a fun young look, adding edge to an elegant occasion.

Penelope Cruz 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards Simple soft waves can be easy and create such soft beauty.

Anna Kendrick 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards I love the tendrils around the face they add a little fun and whimsy to the look.

Kate Winslet 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards I am ending with Stunning! There is width at her neckline and then the softness around her face is beautiful. Hands down one of my other favorites.

Hair Bows Wonderworld on Etsy is a world full of fantasy, from the not so everyday bouquets to her trendy boutonnieres. Not to forget her unforgettable hair accessories, that’s why we are here.

Check out the boutonnieres I posted below. I think they would substitute as hair accessories perfectly. Don’t ever be afraid to take something, use it differently than its purpose and make it new. Many times we have made broaches into hairpins and bouquet fillers in to hair accessories. Use your imagination and make it happen, that is where your individuality will take place.

The boutonnieres could be used for a smaller scaled bride and less is more. Simple and just a little pop.

Don’t forget to check out the Bliss styles suggested for the accessories. Happy inspiration!

I received a phone call today from a friend who has decided to push her wedding date up to this weekend. Her and I have worked together for a long time. We have talked about how I would do her hair, about her wedding and so on. Until recently she would marry out of town and I was not going to assist in her beauty regimen. But here we are, plans in full swing. Only days to prepare and my brain is swirling. No trial here, we just shoot for it and go. So this is my way of digging for inspiration.

She sent me to the website where I could find her dress. I often have brides send me pictures of their dress to get an idea of what will work and look best. I decided to blog about a dress and what choice of hairstyle might fit. I chose not to post the Brides dress but a different one.

BCBG Maxazria~TIERED LACE GOWN

The BCBG Tiered Lace Gown has a vintage lace feel but a modern twist with the strong black sash, low back and high collar. Often I feel with the halter, high collard dress it looks best to wear the hair up. This dress opens your shoulders creating an elongated appearance. By adding an up do you would appear taller, statuesque and elegant. Leaving the hair down would take away from the gown and cover the open shoulder and pretty collar.
