To be veiled

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

There are many stories of the origin of a bride’s veil.  Some say that the veil was introduced in ancient Rome. People of that era believed that evil spirits would be attracted to the bride, so they covered her face with a veil in order to conceal her features and confuse them. The definition of veil is to “obscure, shroud, mask or cover, so perhaps that is how the bridal “veil” got its name.

But wherever the bridal veil received its name it’s become beautiful in it’s ability to conceal or adorn a bride.  Introducing I Do Wedding Veils on Etsy, exquisite ready to wear and couture wedding veils.  Just for you straight from Sydney, Australia creating heirlooms for your family.

Made from the most luxurious soft French silk tulle, this couture chapel length veil features faintly scattered Swarovski crystals, which gently catch the light as you walk down the aisles.

Classic Beauty

Friday, August 13th, 2010

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.

Accessorize that dress!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

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!

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.

Hair Adornment of  the Week

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.

Birdcage…Handmade…Birdcage

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

I was recently at a bridal show and had recommended a bride,  who was looking for a birdcage veil,  to search on Etsy.com. Etsy is the place to buy and sell all things handmade.  I have found a lot of beautiful things on Etsy and some very talented individuals.  I am all about supporting those who use their talents to make beautiful things.  So here are some suggestions for hair adornments from Velvet Owl I love what she does and they are beautifully done.  Click on any one of the picture and it will take you directly to the item.

She was so beautiful.  This is a veil choice I am loving right now with the flower or you can choose other options.  Her hair was very structured but it allows her face to show, the flower to be showcased and her veil to flow.  So soft and elegant.
