A dramatic hair style that feels sophisticated yet loose enough to maintain a soft and lovely feel. I really love the hair AND the photo. Gorgeous!

How do you plan on wearing your hair on your wedding day?

Last week more than anything else we sold multiple sets of larger style hairpins. So I dug through my archive of photos and pulled out some photos from a shoot we did last summer in which we pulled long hair up into a side sweep and adorned with hairpins. The Plumeria flower below is actually attached to a very small comb but it’s essentially the same concept as a hairpin. I love the ear tuck here!

Below is the Anjou Bobby Pin a large star like shape made of large Swarovski pears. I love this design and wear the ring all the time!

Let me know if there is a particular hair style you are interested in seeing. We’ll be doing a photo shoot in a few weeks and would love to hear from you!

Well, hello! I’ve been MIA on the blog for about two weeks and I am sorry. We’ve been working on an exciting new project (hint- upgrading the blog)! I was waiting to post new entries until we’re ready for the launch but we’re just not quite ready, and that’s okay. Sometimes things just take a little longer : -) Here’s where I left off last…

I started making “back pieces” as custom requests many, many years ago as hair styles began trending toward low buns or chignons. Now back pieces are a regular part of each season’s designs and by far one of the most popular ways to accent the hair. I‘m not exactly sure how the term back piece emerged but it raises a lot of questions from brides about what it is and how to wear it. This is the first of a few posts about the different types of head pieces. So here we go!

Some pieces such as the Beautiful Girl Back Piece and the  Grape Flora Hair Ornament can be worn along side a french twist or tucked into the gathered section of hair that is half up/half down. The Grape Flora Hair Ornament is made so that is also works well in front, perhaps on the side. Others such as the Jackie Back Piece and the Syvie Back Piece are very rounded and more suited for the shape of a chignon. In general there aren’t many “rules” about where a particular piece goes. For instance the Jackie Back Piece is very dramatic and beautiful placed in front and off to the side. It’s all up to your imagination & hair style!

I’ve been completely amazed and slightly amused to see the combination’s and placements of headpieces over the years. Do you have a question about how to wear a piece? Do you have a picture of yourself wearing a piece that you would like to share (please I love receiving pictures of our brides :-) ? Email me- I’d love to hear from you!

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Jessica
