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!

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.

Look inspired by Bliss.

Tell me what your using as a reference.

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.

We look to our icons to set the trends. I was so happy to see so many up styles this past Golden Globe and Oscar season. My most favorite one so far has been Sandra Bullock’s from the Golden Globes. So perfectly waved and that piece of hair dangles just right. I wanted to pick some of my most favorite styles for the season that can fit almost any dress style, age bracket and festivity.

Sandra Bullock Golden Globes Tendril, loose wave beauty.

Penelope Cruz 82nd Annual Academy Awards The classic bun is so elegant. Its position can be changed to create different looks.

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.

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?
