Erica Gregory owner of E-vents: a wedding and event planning company.
I was given the opportunity to speak at the wedding workshop by Erica Gregory owner of E-vents. What a privilege and great idea to give local brides the opportunity to hear directly from the experts. If you are ever given the chance to attend a Bridal Luncheon, do so. You will find yourself hearing directly from Vendors you may want to hire or just hear their expert advice.
For my talk I covered how to prepare the hair prior to your wedding day. This plays a major role in your hair holding, the control of fuzziness & it will be the canvas on which your stylist will perform their work.
I prepared three models with separate looks and gave choices of veil placement, flower choice and pins. I am a firm believer that we all need visual aids & ideas, to help in leading us to the final look.
Giving an option with Model Bea~wearing a birdcage veil with her flower.
If you will notice Bea's hairstyle if very similar to The Bliss Book cover, it's just modified to fit her. The large flower is perfect for her daintiness.
Because Bea's features are so small I wanted to give her heights and bring it away from her beautiful face slightly.
This is one of my favorite choices. A bride at one time had me place at least ten Stephanotis flowers in her soft, loose up do. It was a perfect option to not wearing a veil.
Originally I had crystal pins but I decided to give a fun summer option with gerber daisies. This look is very structured and you can do many things with it. Veil, pins, flowers.......
I have done this look on several occasions take a look at the blog post for other options with this style:

Kendra’s name was chosen from a random drawing of all entries. Her comment said:
“I am marrying a wonderful man on July 3rd, 2010. We have about 20 people in our wedding party, so I would love to have help with picking the hairstyles for so many different women, as well as myself. I am not the really girlie type so when it comes to things such as hair I have no clue which direction to go in. I would love to have a little help with making me the star of the day. Thanks”

HI! Im a Hairstylist and that book would be a HIT at the salon! we love to do weddings they are such a happy time for everyone in the shop! I also am engaged and my wedding date is set for Dec 5, 2010, exactly 2 yrs to the date of our blind date… allthough we had gone to high school together freshman year and knew who each other was…. we didnt see one another but twice since. now at 43 both of us are reconnected and it is especially nice to know that there is LOVE out there for us women that have gone through Breast Cancer/ Mastectomy. I didnt think anyone would find me attractive enough.. I was clearly wrong Tim has been my strength and inspiration. You know the saying doing a hairdressers hair is the worst?? well my golden locks have come back in full force!! I NEED THAT BOOK!!LOL
I met the love of my life 6 years ago, he ministered and encouraged my cousin who had just lost her new born little girl named Angel. As a result of his geuniness she said, you know, you will be great for my cousin. We were introduced in August of 2002 and began chatting that Christmas Eve and became a couple the New Year of 2003. Our relationship tragically ended July of the same year, but it was not over for him and me either. He called me last year October 15, 2008 and re-connected with me. It was obvious our love never ended it was just foolishness that tore us apart. We now want to be together forever and we have decided to do that on December 19, of this year. We both have been married before, but i NEVER had a wedding, bridal shower nothing, and this time I am having it all and I would like your book to help me with it!
Our wedding is going to be at sunrise on the beach on July 18 2010. I have short hair and I have no idea what I want to do with it. I would love to have this book!!!
My wedding in May 15, 2010, and I am completely lost as to what I want to look like!

I was recently at a bridal show and had recommended a bride, who was looking for a birdcage veil, to search on Etsy.com. Etsy is the place to buy and sell all things handmade. I have found a lot of beautiful things on Etsy and some very talented individuals. I am all about supporting those who use their talents to make beautiful things. So here are some suggestions for hair adornments from Velvet Owl I love what she does and they are beautifully done. Click on any one of the picture and it will take you directly to the item.
Custom Birdcage veil, blusher veil, teaser, French netting
Persephone- peacock fascinator and black netting veil
Giselle- Ivory flower fascinator and detach birdcage veil

Imagine Three~Whitney Keeler, Hannah Butler, Julie Hill
Our tag team prep...9 models in 2 1/2 hrs Yikes!
Check out the dress so pretty the color and design. I wish I could have worn this dress as a bridesmaid. The dress can be found at Elegant Lady Bridal Oak Park, MI.
The structured hair even went perfectly with the softness of the dress.
This is a look straight from The Bliss Book...little girls with curls are my favorite and most practical. We placed a braid at the bottom back for fun. Look how pretty and sweet she looks.
Who ever thought of parasols is genius what a beautiful idea. I love them you can even get them personalized.
A great style for a bride, bridesmaid or for a formal event. This is the back view of the parasol bride.
A fun way to place your curly hair~pile it high let some trail. Another inspired look from The Bliss Book.
All of the flowers, including the bouquets, were provided by Uniquely Yours flower shop in Northville, MI.
Gwen's cakes are yummy...I was at another event with her, love her white cake with vanilla creme. She is located in Saline, MI check out my vendor tag on a more detailed blog post about her.
She was so fabulous, I just had to take a picture with her. The veil was so perfect with this hairstyle, so grand and elegant.
Perfect match the straight cut dress, high structured hair, striking birdcage with pizzazz. Even in the back the pins were left. Girls your Bridal salon will be so helpful in helping you choose your veil/pins and your stylist will be helpful in placing them. No worries we will help you make your decisions.
She was so beautiful. This is a veil choice I am loving right now, with the flower or you can choose other options such as a brooch or hair pins. Her hair was very structured but it allows her face to show, the flower to be showcased and her veil to flow. The look is so soft and elegant.

We had a fun and busy weekend at the bridal show at The Hilton Garden Inn Perrysburg, Ohio. This was our first time at this show and we were able to do some of the hair and make-up. I must say I had a great time and it’s always fun to create and then watch it walk the runway.

This is a great show for brides that are looking for vendors and want a not so overwhelming meet and greet. This was a bridal show that was on a smaller scale. Maybe 200-250 attended which allowed everyone to browse and talk with the vendors. If you are in the area there will be another show with U and I bridal show December 27th. If you are not in the area brides, look for a smaller shows that will cater to your needs.
This was fabulous!
I loved this flower, I almost used two.
