Voila, there it is! I was flipping through the pages of Real Simple and stunning is was I found. I have been looking for my inspiration hair for my role as Matron of Honor this coming up March. You can read more in my previous blog posts #1 & #2. But here I found classic and beautiful trends to lead us into fall.
Had to blog it, because it’s Big Bun LOVE! Hilary Duff’s bun is a little out of the norm and protruding but why not. Dare to be different.
This year for 2010 I have already swung in the direction for big buns (see below) and they come in all shapes and sizes. Different locations on your head and can be adorned in many ways or simply left alone. They change shape and form to fit whatever it is you like. So much fun! Enjoy the bun bonanza and be inspired.

I have started this story in a previous post about my choices as a matron of honor this coming March. When I first blogged I had not chosen my dress yet, but I have found one and my shoes. Now its time to accessories, choose make-up and hair. The location my friend has chosen is viva Las Vegas! So to me traditional can be taken a little more to the edge but being respectful of the brides wishes.
I have approval of the dress and shoes so now my mission as my own hairstylist will be to perfect my do. As any normal girl, I think I might have an idea. But when it comes down to it who really knows what might look good on paper may not look good on me. So I will be consulting my sister, Hannah Butler Make-up artist, for the make-up and trial it out. I will probably do a couple of practices with my hair just to get it down and it may all change on the day of but I need to have a base plan.
So here are my thought…I want the smokey sultry look of Angelina, she is to die for…I think my hair should be up and high, it’s Vegas! The collar on the dress is a little high so hair down is a no. I am thinking if I have this strong of an eye look my hair should be pulled back to let it shine.
Please excuse my no make-up phone picture.

When scrolling through images a couple of weeks ago I came across the first image of Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly at the Academy Awards. I saved it because I loved their classic swept back hair in “french twist” like styles. Showcasing their beautiful faces and the dresses…to die for.
I was then so excited to see the images of Chelsea Clinton in her wedding gown. Stunning! Her hair is beautiful and twisted with perfect height.
Its time we bring back the classic and the up do’s!! Be your own classic beauty.

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!

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.

I love Stumbling upon beautiful adornments for special brides. I picked this flower with a special someone in mind who will be getting married this next year. It has the perfect sparkle right in the middle.
You can find the gardenia at Londonxox on Etsy. The gardenia is especially elegant & beautiful, but tender. So fresh are usually not an option for your hair. So adorn with a sparkle.

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
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!

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!
