So I was going through old pictures looking for an image and here I found our very first practice shoot for The Bliss Book. Left to never be seen these pics, hair, make-up lighting, we felt were all so very wrong. You have to understand, where we (Imagine Three) started from and how far we have come and what we have learned. We started from not knowing anything and the purpose of this was to learn. That we did.

As I go back, I love these pictures. They tell the story of us, learning…but I love them. I actually like her hair & make-up as I look back now. A lot of what we did was scrapped. It’s sad because pictures to print are so different and can be so, can I say disastrous.

I still find inspiration in my mistakes and I have learned from what I have done. Practice & learning makes you stronger and better. Try it!

It’s time again for ban.do love! The fav of the month is no.92 crystal encrusted scalloped trim with ribbon ties. I love ribbon ties they are so romatic, especially attached to crystals. This is a perect addition to a down style and an up style, so the ribbon can show.

Feel the ban.do love and check out the Bliss do we have paired with the accesory.

I didn’t know the greatness of what I found until I read more. True Blind Faith: their inspiration pieces are previously loved vintage jewels and findings that originally began life as brooches, bracelets, earrings or other adornments. I have to tell you my love for this because I have adorned so much with vintage brooches and earrings. But to see the artistry that True Blind Faith has combined with vintage makes me happy inside. I don’t even try to pretend to create mine, I just attach them to the head so I am in awe of the creativeness.

Vision Statement

True Blind Faith was created to help brides define their personal style on their wedding day. We believe that every bride should be adorned with original creations to allow her own unique style and personality shine through. New designs are consistently born into our collections which include various styles of tiaras, vines, combs and headbands.

Calliope~This delicate tiara has been carefully fashioned from a set of vintage earrings.

Wednesday~is part of our Gothic Collection

Brink~Sparkle and shine with a hint of color!

Amaranth~This versatile vine is the culmination of various jewels

Check out the styles that are paired with suggestions for ideas and inspiration. Our looks are straight from The Bliss Book or are inspired from Bliss, we hope that you find you way or have fun doing it. Happy Hair!

Love, Bliss

PS. Tell me your happy hair story.

fas·ci·nat·ing (fās’ə-nā’tĭng)

adj. Possessing the power to charm or allure; captivating.

I am so in love…I found One Little Dove and her wonderful handmades on Pip Pip and All That . To my amazement found that she had been featured in The Brides Guide from the Editors of Martha Stewart. To die, die, die to be featured in anything Martha Stewart and she should be featured because they are beautiful. If anyone knows me and my love for my dear Martha, oh to be Martha…ok enough. While in love with the fascinators created by One Little Dove she hit the spot with her bridal flower fascinator. I have been looking for something this perfect and this scale to match a particular style I had created. She has embellished this flower perfectly and it’s just the right size, because the large flowers are so pretty to adorn with.

Be in love with One Little Dove and her sweet, pretty adorned creations.

I found another talented artist on Emmaline Bride, where you can find all things handmade for your wedding. Nyjole also is featured on Etsy where I found the rest of the wonderful collection beyond handmades to showcase your hair.

Nyjole is from Queensland, Australia. ”I love creating beautiful jewelry for the modern woman. My designs are original, and have a mixture of classic vintage, glitz, and old fashion glamour and sophistication.”

The Elegance headpiece was my favorite and that is what caught my attention. It could be worn in the center or to the side, there are so many options for position in your hair. It could also be the main feature to your hair. Or go out all our with elaborate hair and beautiful head piece. Oh the possibilities, I hope you enjoy and visit Nyjole’s Etsy to see more creations and check out the options we paired with looks from Bliss.

I wanted to share with you one of my brides who found inspiration with Bliss. I met Lauren when I did her best friends wedding this past summer in Key West, she swore up and down that her hair would not stay. But even in the Key West humidity we got it to stay and our beautiful relationship began.

A lot goes in to preparing yourself for your event and it all begins with the right stylist. Communication about what you want and don’t want. Finding the right communication tools to be able to visualize these looks. The job as a stylist starts by digging deep and knowing who that person is on a daily basis, the look of their dress, what their hair is like and what the bride is visualizing in her mind.

Lauren had given me pictures of her dress and she had gone through The Bliss Book and had chosen several looks. She liked the idea of all of them. We needed to pick what would look the best on her, what would allow a veil and look the best with her dress. By using these examples and why she liked them, because they were up controlled and they still had texture, we could together reach her look with ease. You can see her choices below.

The ending was perfect…She was an elegant beautiful bride. Her hair complimented her, who she is, her dress and completed her look. Congratulations Lauren & Dave!

Where do you find your inspired beauty?

Imagine Three, creators of The Bliss Book had a great opportunity to do a photo shoot for Travelhost of Flint and the Thumb Magazine. The shoot is supporting a bridal issue, so we did what we do best.

I have a sneak peek, of the non-professional shots, and where I found my inspiration for her hair.

When I am working on finding a look I always try to find something or someone that might inspire me. This time I found it in Katy Perry. I never copy the exact look, I use it as base starter or boiling thought to a great finish. With this look I wanted to originally have a full strong bang, but my model did not have bangs and I was not going to cut her hair. So we compromised and did somewhat of a fake bang.

Note on bangs right now: These strong large sections are big and hot…be brave, do it!

Image found on www.starpulse.com

I wanted to embellish the hair with large flowers and honestly it’s really hard to find fresh flowers that I felt were perfect and would fit the look. There were several other options but this was I felt stunning and clean. She was ivory and white.

I wanted her “bun” to be not so perfect but swept, large and dramatic. I guess strong would be the word, like her flowers. Model Megan then turned from rocker Katy Perry to icon beauty Audrey Hepburn. Can you visually see it though, how the strong bang can work with this look.

Where do you find your look….Where do you find your inspiration?
