Bliss Book News & Chit Chat

While planning for a 1950s themed wedding we came up with some inspiration to fuel the brain fire and to give vision to our bride.  My sister and I came up with our suggestions separately and we have a beautiful palate of choices.  There are many staple looks in the 1950s but there are still many choices to be incorporated into one look.

The look was soft loose waves, with a swoops & sometimes a victory roll.  There were so many versions and a lot is deciphered by the texture of the hair.  If it was up it was defiantly elegant as Audrey Hepburn wore it in her classic french twist.

Women could get away with a more dramatic look, particularly for evening.

Eyeliner was liquid, making a sharp, highly defined contour. It was used primarily on the upper lid.

Pastels were the favored colors for day, especially for a younger woman.

Women could wear red by day and it was the most popular choice for evening.

Lips were colored lush and full.

Bringing back some old school inspiration. Classic beauties can never loose their luster.  I love old movies, the dresses, the hair.  She’s just beautiful and think of how not airbrushed this picture is.  The look of her hair is clean and elegant, perfectly framing her face.  Leaving a little opening at the top for an accessory or flower.
