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 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!

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.

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.

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.

It was the weekend of the Whimsical Occasions Wedding Event and make-up, hair, make-up, hair. We had a great time and we wanted to share with you some our great looks for the up coming season.

Braids on Braids~Rolled Ellegance~Carnation Love~Hot Bun

Braids on Braids~Rolled Elegance~Carnation Love~Hot Bun

Braids on Braids~I was super excited about this looks because I took her braids that already existed and re-braided everything back and high. Rolled Elegance~Is a shorter version of a look I did for a wedding where she wanted to drop her rolled up curls later for her reception. Two different looks but and still very beautiful. Carnation Love~Loose flyaway curls and carnations. I usually hate carnations but Martha Stewart Weddings had a magnificent cake on her cover that made me want to create this carnation love. Hot Bun~That should say it all! It’s stunning large and looks magnificent with a veil over it. You do need a lot of hair for this one but that is what “extra hair” is for, no worries.

We love our models and they looked fabulous! Check out our small picture on the bottom of our goofy lip pose. It’s from our clip with Shutter Booth, the photo booth company that comes to your event. It was so much fun, I think it was the highlight of our day. Come visit us at our next event with Whimsical Occasions at The Inn at St John’s Plymouth, MI.

Thank you Imagine Three Photography for all the great pics!

Will you be attending a wedding event this year?

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!

I found LoBoheme on Etsy and they have been featured in magazines such as Well Wed Magazine, Southern Weddings Magazine, Exquisite Weddings Magazine.
