Iconic beauty

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Bringing back some old school inspiration. Classic beauties can never loose their luster.  I love old movies, the dresses, the hair.  She’s just beautiful and think of how not airbrushed this picture is.  The look of her hair is clean and elegant, perfectly framing her face.  Leaving a little opening at the top for an accessory or flower.

Inspiration~Prep for Travelhost Wedding Guide cover shoot Imagine Three Photography

To die for hair!  Big bun was what I heard from my bride and no fear she had of it.  In fact, the bigger the better.  I was so excited to see the pictures and her photographer JCL Portraits so graciously allowed me to snag some of her great shots.  She has managed to capture the brides fun style,  but elegant hot bun love.

The inspiration from this look came from our Travelhost Wedding Guide cover shot.  Changed, altered and perfected to suit her on her special day.  Happy hair inspiration to you!

Visit JCL Potraits Blog to see more pictures from the wedding day.

BeautiFul Blessings

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Always excited to present a wedding that was photographed by my sister Whitney Keeler, Imagine Three Photography.  I am so honored and amazed when I get to work with my sister.

Looking through the pages, blogs, pictures what do you find? Your inspiration, what you desire to look like on your special day.

Our bride found her inspiration from a previous look created for none other than my cousin.  When you find your look it’s tailored to fit you and your hair.  Both women had very different hair texture & color,  so you will notice it creates slight changes in the look.  So always remember the look may change from pictures to reality because of the hair that your were blessed with.  Happy Inspiration!

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!

Twined Beauty

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

A little inspiration from one of our wedding’s, that my dear photographer friend had photographed.

The beauty and elegance of her hair holds a surprise.  Her “bun” was a more non traditional and  was twined with braids.  Her front swooped in a more old school classic look. She adorned with little flower like rhinestone clips throughout the back so that after removing her veil she would have a second look.  Her veil was supported beautifully by her fun “bun”.

Enjoy and I hope your inspired!

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.

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!

~Statuesque & Elegant~

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

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

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.

~Timeless Beauty~

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I received these images this past month and it’s been a long time since the event, October 2008 to be exact. The pictures tell a story of a classic bride who’s look can stand the test of time. Erin’s derise for classic & vintage has created timeless. This also was the beginning of my broach phase. Erin used one of our broaches that we used in The Bliss Book and it was paired beautifuly with her veil.

Enjoy her beauty and be inspired by her look. I found my inspiration through Bliss and it’s many timeless, classic looks.
