Get  Your  Prom  On!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

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.

~Hair Wonderland~

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

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!

Topsy Turvy Design’s costume accessories for stage, film & play.  I’m not going to lie I want to wear these hat’s everyday!  You have to visit Topsy Turvy’s Etsy and look at the rest of her designs to appreciate her creativeness.  Kim Brown-Dye passion for creativeness and where she finds it inflames my own passion.  She looks to the tops of the buildings for details and in paper lanterns in china town to give her inspiration. These details and such creativeness allows her hats to pop with fun and her hair accessories to be detailed like no other.  Just because these are for play and film doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate them into everyday or your special day.  I have picked several to match with some Bliss looks.

Kim Brown-Dye:
All of my hatties are a theatrical in nature, a bit bold & a whole lot of fun! I build each one from scratch using buckram & wire construction which is then covered & trimmed using the finest materials & hand finishing.
OLDE school all the way & custom made to fit you!

~Your Inner Girl~

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I have been eyeing Mikiye forever on Etsy.  I love her diversity in her creations and the pop of color she brings.  I am such a huge fan of the skeleton feather.  What a fun night, party spark.  It could be your Goth girl, Pinup girl or Halloween wedding look.  Pull out your inner dark girl and run.

Check out our Bliss inspired looks below to pair with Mikiye’s creations.

About Mikiye:

I guess I can say I’m lucky since it seems all the women in my family have been very creative. My Great Grandmother was very much into craft making and as long as I can remember my Grandmother was making something. When I was young I spent most of my spare time drawing, painting, or trying to make something with Playdo!

I was written up in W Magazine and featured in magazines like Essence, Teen People and Shape. My accessories also made appearances on the popular television shows: The O.C. and The Simple Life. Some of my celebrity clients include Rock Star Kimberly Cole, Kelly Osbourne, Paris Hilton, Lacey Chabert and Shaun Robinson to name a few.

~ban.do Love~

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

It’s time again for the love of ban.do, YESSS!  The ban.do fav of the month is the no. 12 satin headband coming in four different colors.  Big flower love I must say!  You don’t even have to be a bride to wear this one but we did give you a Bliss inspired option below to wear the ban.do band with.

Have a happy hair day and fill it with accessory love!

~Pieces of Silk~

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

ThreadRare caught my eye on Etsy when I came to their opening page where handpicked item’s are featured.  Out jumped one of her hand sewn flowers.  I love the versatility of these flowers because they can be worn with your casual outfit for fun, your wedding day, prom for pizazz and the little flower would be perfect for little girls & flower girls.  I think the flowers also caught my eye because the workmanship is such great quality.  My favorite is BALLET.

Check out the Bliss inspired looks below for some options to go with ThreadRare’s featured hair adornments.

ThreadRare:

I have a degree in textiles and clothing design and formerly owned a business designing custom bridal and special occasion gowns. Now that I stay home with my toddler son, I’m channeling my creative energy into designing accessories.

I still have a deep love for luxury fabrics which is why I make many pieces out of silk. Vintage has always had an appeal for me as well, and I incorporate elements of the past into my pieces as much as possible.

~Something Special~

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

If you haven’t noticed yet, headbands are all the rage right now.  So why not have one of a kind and made by hand just for you. They are easy to wear and for the most simple style you can make it look sassy in one-second flat. When my pony is not cutting it I throw headband in and off I go.  You can find Be Something New on Etsy and you have to check out their large assortment of headbands not just for “bridal” as I have featured here.

Check out the Bliss looks below, we have chosen to go with the bands. Whatever you do, have fun with your look.

Be Something New:

I have been designing and manufacturing Bridal veils and headpieces for over 25 years. Be Something New is a new line I have started with my daughter. We have something for every occasion, your wedding, your prom, or just for everyday. Some of our pieces are one of a kind, made from vintage supplies, and some are made to order. I hope you enjoy our line

get_convo_imagephpOh,  to be adorned with veils…so romantic.  I found Veiled Beauty on my favorite place Etsy.  So, how much better can it get for your veil to be handmade with love and be at a great price.  Kathy even will make you a custom veil.  I love her mission:  To please every bride with a tear inducing, breath taking, mother-in-law gasping VEIL!

From the age of 6 I have been windng bobbins and designing in my dreams.  I stumbled upon my first veil creation when I was working for a wedding dress shop in Santa Barbara California.  I made some mock veils forthe mannequins as displays when…low and behold my veils kept selling.

Check out our paired looks below,  from The Bliss Book.  Veiling is the best way to add to you look and feel extra beautiful on your day.

~Hair Perfect~

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

When should you schedule your trial

• A month before the event would be perfect (but always confirm with your stylist).

• A stylist will be more likely to remember and replicate more easily with such little time between your trial and your wedding day. There also will be more time to make changes, if necessary.

• Always take a camera to your trial appointment so you have pictures to remind your stylist.

• Don’t forget your veil, flower, or anything you might be wearing in your hair the day of your trial so that you and your stylist can practice placement.

• If you can, try your dress on to see if your look is complete.
