Shooting Day

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Imagine Three, creators of The Bliss Book, are always creating new images to promote, keep ourselves fresh and give our brides inspiration.  Tomorrow is our shooting day and I have created a little board of inspiration.

I am so excited and thankful to our vendor’s who allowed us to borrow and shoot on location.  So stay tuned for more updates on the shoot, our vendors and the look created for the up coming bridal season.

Choosing With Honor Part 2

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I have started this story in a previous post about my choices as a matron of honor this coming March.  When I first blogged I had not chosen my dress yet, but I have found one and my shoes.  Now its time to accessories, choose make-up and hair.  The location my friend has chosen is viva Las Vegas!  So to me traditional can be taken a little more to the edge but being respectful of the brides wishes.

I have approval of the dress and shoes so now my mission as my own hairstylist will be to perfect my do.  As any normal girl,  I think I might have an idea.  But when it comes down to it who really knows what might look good on paper may not look good on me.  So I will be consulting my sister, Hannah Butler Make-up artist, for the make-up and trial it out.  I will probably do a couple of practices with my hair just to get it down and it may all change on the day of but I need to have a base plan.

So here are my thought…I want the smokey sultry look of Angelina, she is to die for…I think my hair should be up and high, it’s Vegas!  The collar on the dress is a little high so hair down is a no.  I am thinking if I have this strong of an eye look my hair should be pulled back to let it shine.

Hair adornment of the week

Put a pretty bow on it!  This piece is special and one of a kind, with a little vintage flair.  I love how it’s simply placed in her loose waves.  Another suggested loose wave option from The Bliss Book, shown below, would go perfectly with the ”Celeste” Hair Clip.

Accessorize that dress!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

I just wanted to stay on Peppermint Pretty’s site to listen to the great music while I drooled over dresses.  I love playing the game of matching hairstyles, dress & accessory.  The center of inspiration for this post, is the dress.  You usually always begin first with your dress then the accessory & your hair most of the time will follow.  You can go full fledge vintage with this dress choice or throw in a bit of modern.

The hairstyles of choice range from swept back with softness, classic french with a twist, straight up victory roll with pin curls & down with an edge of vintage.  Adorn any one of these hairstyles with fun choice pics below of some of my favorite artist.   Click on the pic to visit their sweet adornments and Peppermint Pretty to find your dress!

~Hair adornment of the week~

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

I love Stumbling upon beautiful adornments for special brides. I picked this flower with a special someone in mind who will be getting married this next year. It has the perfect sparkle right in the middle.

You can find the gardenia at Londonxox on Etsy. The gardenia is especially elegant & beautiful, but tender.  So fresh are usually not an option for your hair.  So adorn with a sparkle.

Sakura - Cherry Blossom Hair Comb with Swarovski Crystals and Seed Beads

Sakura - Cherry Blossom Hair Comb with Swarovski Crystals and Seed Beads

So delicate and pretty!  I love cherry blossoms so I couldn’t pass up the color or delicate look of the flower.  Each blossom is hand crafted utilizing CLAYCRAFT by DECO Soft Clay to form lifelike flowers one petal at a time.  It has pink Swarovski crystals for extra bling.  You can find this beauty and so much more on Dk Designs Hawaii on Etsy.

I have added a style suggestion from The Bliss Book.  This flower comb would also be a great option with a veil. It would also be a great option for bridesmaids.   Happy adorning!

Made For a Princess

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

When I am looking for the best of the best hair adornments I often find myself thinking how I can wear this, where were these hair bobbles when I needed them and can I get married again. No not really again,  but can I stick a pretty something extra in my hair.

Fit For Her

Monday, May 31st, 2010

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.

Picture PerFect Prom

Monday, May 17th, 2010

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!
