The Wonderful Art of Updos

post from Bridal Talk on 12 March 2011 01:10:38 PM. © Bridal Talk

Have you ever though of hair as an art? What if you could create a series of curls and twists and combine the design with beautiful flowers and pins, all with the simple threads of a woman’s hair? Ask any hairstylist with a background in up-dos, and they’ll inform you of the beautiful complexity of hair design. Colors are the supplies for a painter, coffee and foam are the supplies for an artistic barista, and hair, curls, and pins are the supplies for a hairstylist. You must consider the wonderful artwork of updos!

The beauty in up-dos is not only in the endless possibilities of curl sizes and decorative flowers, (even though they are so fun :)), but in the uniqueness of each individuals look. Two women could receive the entirely same up-do, but can look completely different due to the difference in hair. Because most women have different hair from one another, your up-do is your own. That is something worth considering! picture-2

Even while talking to my fellow recently-married friends, we decided that taking the time during your wedding day to properly have your hair done is a great element to experience in the big picture. Yes your mind is running on that big day, and you probably can’t tell your best friend from your mom, and you’re thinking about the possibility of tripping down the aisle, but what a wonderful thing to look back in pictures, and see all the effort you really did put into your wedding day! It’s just another “keepsake” moment to have hold of.

Some women are mistaken in the truth of up-dos. Yes, there are more extravagant styles than others, but it really is all about your own customized hair style. Whether it’s a higher up-do, with more curls, twists, and turns, or one with a milder grace about it, perhaps lower and with light curls and a simple flower.

Your entire wedding has the sole purpose of reflecting you and your spouse as a couple, meaning it should be customized down to the smallest details. Likewise, your bridal image on your special day is entirely based upon your own desire!

Dancing under the...umbrellas

post from My Splendid $10,000 Wedding by Vera Devera | budget wedding on 12 March 2011 04:17:00 AM. © My Splendid $10,000 Wedding by Vera Devera | budget wedding

A friend of mine gave me 20 red parasols last year when she moved and I've always wanted to do something like this with them...

If you fancy this look as well, you can rent them; the Pagoda style goes for about $20 each -- some of the print ones are $10 each. Head over to Bella Umbrella and reserve your favorites today. [Lucky brides in the Seattle area can save on the shipping cost!]

And for extra credit, check out a 2009 post about Bella Umbrella's retail shop. It's gorgeous!
Photo by Gabriel Ryan Photographers; see Real Wedding on 100 Layer Cake This is one of my faves -- in green and silver with an amber handle This one is only $10 and would be perfect for an art deco look
And this would be perfect for an engagement session in the spring

Back in Business!

The wedding blogger has returned! I’m back, and SO ready for more wedding-blogging action! My previous blogs had been in-depth posts relative to the necessities and ideas for the best day of married woman’s life. This blog was my way to express my creative freedom in wedding planning, while following my own experience of planning my own wedding! I had discussed the importance of consistency in monthly planning, following through, and finally, following up after the vows. However, I’ve missed writing in this blog terribly!! I love the anticipation, participation, and consideration, (my rhythmic writing is getting really pretty intense I guess!), that goes into the stacks upon stacks of thoughts and actions that go into the best day of a couple’s life. Now that I’ve experienced what I’d orginially been talking about, I’m ready to pass on knowledge and tips to other brides-to-be!

I want to make a step back into this wedding scene…the place that I adore so much! And because I don’t know if I could actually handle carrying out the action of being a real wedding planner, here I am to be the talk of wedding planning! picture-1

I believe that planning should begin as soon as the engagement has occured, because you’d be so incredibly surprised to the amount of work and time that goes into this wonderful day. That is why I, along with many other wedding bloggers, am here to help and give advice, both from experience and how I learned from the errors that I ran into along the way.

I am so excited to get this blog back in action! Please say you will follow me along this journey (again) of everything that is critical into a rememberable wedding!
