Natural Knots for the Indian Summer

2010-08-16T11:44:00.000-07:00

Looking for a natural upsweep for late summer early fall? Here are a few ideas.

This time of the year calls for romance! It's a time that reminds us of sunset walks on the beach, warm summer breezes, and road trips with the top down. As fall approaches we want to hold on to that feeling of freedom that summer gives us and hair, clothing and makeup should reflect that. Go with something loose, and romantic. For an extra special touch, add a flower from your bouquet or a small pin, but keep it simple.

You can wear your hair up or down but be daring! If you plan to wear it up go really glamorous and if you choose to wear it down,go with big waves or curls and add long extensions to make it look dramatic. It's also important to choose a great hair clip to accentuate the style. Here are a few ideas for holiday hair up-do's and half up-do's.

Green Weddings

2009-09-30T12:25:00.000-07:00

I was talking to a friend (an event planner) recently about environmentally friendly weddings and parties, and she was telling me that she is getting so many requests from brides that are wondering how they can plan a wedding with a lower impact on the environment. I'm not an event planner. However, living a more eco-friendly lifestyle is something I am interested in, so I thought I would share some of my ideas about the many ways you too can go green! There are an endless amount of websites that offer advice on green planning but there are a few that stuck out for me the most. One website that offers advice on planning a green weddings is Eco Wedding. This website offers ideas and advice on everything from invitations and favors to reception menus and recipes. You can also find local vendors in the Green Wedding Directory. Another website that I found is Portovert. This website boasts ideas on everything green! You can view photos and stories from others who have planned a green affair or you can consult with the green experts right on the site. Last but not least, Eco Chic Weddings offers so many crafty ideas and inspiration for the creative at heart. While I was doing some of my research on green wedding planning, I stumbled across this great website for green invitations called Earthly Affair. Not only do the invitations look beautiful, but the site also offers little green tips right on the front page. If you are thinking of planning a green and eco-friendly wedding, try looking over some of these websites and check out some of the links to the right. You'll find some great stuff from eco-friendly products to green travel planning. You can also pick up Mireya Navarro's book on green weddings (pictured above). One place leads you to the next and you just never know what you can find. Have fun searching and good luck!

Spring Wedding Slideshow

2009-08-17T15:14:00.001-07:00

Here is a g r e a t slideshow of a bride I took care of last spring. The bride wanted a natural look for her wedding day and since her hair is very fine, I recommended putting a few highlights in the week before to give her hair more volume. For the wedding day- I simply placed some natural looking waves in her hair using the blow dryer and curling iron and she did her own makeup! The result was a natural fresh style that lasted all day. This beautiful garden wedding took place at the Meadowlark Botanical Garden in Vienna,Va and Lori Spiker Photography took these great photos.

It's a great time to be getting married! Of course, any time of the year is a wonderful time to plan a wedding, but from a beauty and fashion perspective Fall and Winter offer some beautiful and creative options for the bride who likes to experiment. For the Fall and Winter 2008- 2009 season, hairstyles are loose and textured. They have the feel of an undone sweep. Twists and braids are big this season, and many brides are opting for a half up half down style.

Hair accessories are a great addition to any up or down style. Flowering clips,pins, and sprays are a great option for Fall. So, if your confused about what to put in your hair for your wedding, try a small clip or pin and see for yourself how it makes you look and feel more natural for your special day!

Some Wedding Hair Ideas

Searching for the perfect style, here are some very pretty and elegant styles that I love working with.

Wedding Hair Accessories

2008-04-16T16:11:00.000-07:00

For all you beautiful brides out there that are confused about what you should wear in your hair, I have the solution! We all know those big tiara's are out and simple is in. Why not try wearing a flower from your bouquet, or a beaded clip that matches the beading or detail in your dress. If you opt for a flower from your bouquet, many florists will attach a clip or comb so it can be easily placed in your hair.

If you are the more elegant type you may want to add sparkle. You may want to choose a clip that accentuates the detail in your dress. Some of these clips are absolutely stunning, they add drama and completely transform your style to a whole new look.

Where do you find some of these clips? You can find them through your bridal boutique, some department stores carry these clips,and of course you may want to surf the web and see if you can find something unique. Most of the bridal sites also give you links to places where you can find useful things for your wedding.

Latest Trends In Hair Design

2008-04-03T17:32:00.000-07:00

Are you confused about what to do with your hair for the big day? Not to worry. Periodically, I will be posting pictures on the latest trends in Hair Design. Don't we all want to look as beautiful as the celebrities on the red carpet? Browse some of the pictures, and see if you find something that you like. But remember, I always customize styles based on the individual needs of each person. I can create the perfect red carpet style for you!

Things to Consider:

1. Hair style should accentuate facial features and overall face shape of the individual.

2. Hair should compliment your dress, personality, theme of your wedding, accessories etc.

3. Hair should look soft and sexy with tousled waves and curls, or straight and smooth. Hair should be soft and feminine, and should bring out your best features.

4. I will offer advice based on my expertise and customize a style that will last the entire day.

5. Gone are the days of overdone up do's. Don't be afraid to wear your hair down or partly down with soft waves, and natural curls. Up do's can be soft with some hair framing your face. I know from experience it looks amazing in photos.

I am here to make the process of planning for your hair and makeup just abit easier, and that is why I started this blog. I also have a website, and a WeddingWire page where you can contact me with questions, concerns, or if you would like to schedule a complimentary consultation so we can sit together and discuss all the details of your wedding day needs.
