Introducing Bethany Lorelle and so excited. Founded in 2001, Bethany Lorelle specializes in fine, handmade fashion accessories and has become known nationwide for its popular jewelry, hair accessories, and custom bridal pieces.

I get excited about designers like Bethany because she has given so many different choices fun, elegant, everyday. It stretches from bride, prom to bridesmaids.

Accessorizing can add that final piece and make you look like a million bucks. Put some hair bling in and feel like a princess!

oooohhhh la la Velvet Owl! What a magnificent creation and such a modern twist on the bubble veil. I love it, especially with the flower comb that creates such a beautiful contrast and a secondary option for later when the veil may come off. The Bubble veil is a favorite because to me is feels like and extension to your hair and adds such beautiful height. Be interchangeable and have two different looks for your ceremony to reception, this will give you the option.

Sunrise - Feather Headband

Headbands are hot! Be feathered lovely with TessaKim’s Sunrise-Feather Headband. The color’s are so creamy and soft, I believe the headband can look elegant but also be more laid back. Feathers themselves are beautiful and so artistically crafted on their own, but when put together by designer like TessaKim they blend beautifully like highlighted hair.

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.

ThreadRare caught my eye on Etsy when I came to their opening page where handpicked item’s are featured. Out jumped one of her hand sewn flowers. I love the versatility of these flowers because they can be worn with your casual outfit for fun, your wedding day, prom for pizazz and the little flower would be perfect for little girls & flower girls. I think the flowers also caught my eye because the workmanship is such great quality. My favorite is BALLET.

Check out the Bliss inspired looks below for some options to go with ThreadRare’s featured hair adornments.

ThreadRare:

I have a degree in textiles and clothing design and formerly owned a business designing custom bridal and special occasion gowns. Now that I stay home with my toddler son, I’m channeling my creative energy into designing accessories.

I still have a deep love for luxury fabrics which is why I make many pieces out of silk. Vintage has always had an appeal for me as well, and I incorporate elements of the past into my pieces as much as possible.

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.
