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!

I have the great privilege of being the matron of honor in my friends wedding this coming year. I have already started in my head preparing the beauty regimen for my bride and I cannot wait. But as the matron of honor and her stylist I have to set my plan well ahead because the duties are high and the job will be busy.

I have been given the opportunity to choose a black dress of my liking. The venue will be Las Vegas. Elegant, party and fun should all be wrapped up in the look. So today I decided to blog for myself as a matron of honor and for bridesmaids who have choices and looks to achieve.

I found this great dress on Etsy from Isadora Clothing. It has a multitude of options for style and color. I love the feel of the shoulders, the softness and cut. For myself my hair is always a deli-ma. I feel you either know your dress style then your hair follows or your have a visual of your hair and you need to find a dress to match.

My brides hair will be down, so it’s my rule to not match brides with her party. She should stand out and be the focus. So my hair shall be up and I am feeling a larger french twist for some reason. I found a picture of inspiration for starters. This may change with time, but for today we are going to play match the dress with style and accessories.

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.

We had the magnificent opportunity to do a photo shoot for Travelhost Wedding Guide for Genesee County, MI. Our excitement is that we are in print again after publishing our first work The Bliss Book, now we are proudly on someone else’s cover.

I wanted to share our shoot details with you because we had some great vendors involved and honestly it was a fun time and you might be inspired by the look we created. We had some major last minute venue changes, time restrictions and little time to do this but we pulled it together and rocked.

The venue was the Woodfield Banquet Center in Grand Blanc, MI. This is the location where My Big Fat Genesee Wedding ~ Wedding Show will be held this year, the date is January 24th. It’s a very unique and beautiful facility to have a great wedding. Check it out!

Stay tuned because we will be brining you the details as to where we found our inspiration on how we created both the hair and make-up looks. Don’t forget to share the love and comment!

We had two dresses to choose from~compliments of Davison Bridal http://www.davisonbridal.com/

The flowers we decided on white, cream & greens. A mix to go with either season. My girls and Thrifty Florist are awesome Shelly or Angela (734) 973-5585 http://www.thriftyflorist.com I threw the vintage brooch on, YAY!
