Russian Blusher Style No. V1606

This blog is very intentional, specific and maybe even a life saver for a few bridal boutiques :) We have a really great veil we call a Russian Blusher (a.k.a V1606) that is very versitile! We originally created the veil to be worn in the 1st direction you will see it, however it has been open to interpretation over the last two years.

In this first view you see the veil being worn in it's original design. Slightly smaller on top, the veil fits this direction when the flower is on the brides left side.
If you were to then turn the veil upside down, so the flower is now on the right side, you will acheive this look, which almost makes the veil look like a hat and the feather is facing downward.
To get the look completely out of the face, the combs can be arranged any way in the hair to create a Vintage look.
And finally at market last weekend as I was explaining the above arrangements to Debbie of Jennifer's Bridal, she says, " or you can wear it across the back." I like the way you think! And....Bingo!

Yes, I designed the veil, but I do not take credit for the many ways this veil can be worn, I just watch and learn. For a list of Retail locations where you can purchase this veil, click on Store Locations.

Lia Terni

There are so many great things to blog about after you have been to such an amazing bridal market. One of the greatest aspects of market is being surrounded by such creative talent and today I want to introduce you to one of amazing designers I met this year from Madrid.



Lia Terni's designs are so beautifully sculpted and designed, you have to visit her site to see them on her models, they are absolutely stunning!
A friend of mine, Jennifer Gray wore a different headpiece from Lia Terni everyday at market and raved about how comfortable they are to wear. She said they were very light weight and did not dig into her head which most bridal headbands tend to do.


I am not much of an accessories wearer myself, but I did wear this headband pictured above and I have to say, it was very comfortable and so cute!
Thank you Lia, for sharing your talent with us!
