Head Dress Designs in 2009

2009-03-29T16:29:00.013-04:00

Where have the last 3 months gone? We can't believe how quickly time has flown this year already. We've had the great pleasure of working with some amazing bride's as well as incredibly talented photographers.

Krystal and K-Gallery have taken our designs to another level. She is not only amazingly talented but offers an awesome program to other photographers who are interested in learning from the pros how to shoot for weddings. Check them out at

http://www.k-gallery.com/ or http://www.schoolofrad.com/ if you're a photographer.

Here's some of her amazing work...

Another uber-talented wedding photographer is Garrett Nudd. He shares residence between Orlando and Chattanooga. If you're planning a wedding and want a top notch photographer he's the one to contact...

www.garrettnudd.com

He was the photographer for a Central Florida Bride Magazine shoot that used several of our designs. His work is beautiful and classic and edgy all at the same time. He shot both bridal head pieces for us as well as veils and we were blown away. Check out the spread in the current issue of Central Florida Bride. It's an amazing resource for any bride getting married in Central Florida or anywhere for that matter.

Here is just a sampling of Garrett's amazing work taken for Central Florida Bride Magazine using some of our Head Dress Designs...

We're in the midst of creating some incredible avant-garde designs for an Orlando Style Magazine shoot...we'll keep you posted!

We are so looking forward to all of the excitement that 2009 will bring!

Head Dress Designs has been picking up alot business with all the lovely wedding bloggers out there talking up the cause. Katie and I are so blessed and feel so humbled by the love.

On another note, the lovely Jean Patteson from Orlando Sentinel has just put out a brillant article on hats and hairpieces coming of the newest accessory and rage. Why I mention this article?? Only because Head Dress is prominently featured on the cover of the Style and Trends page!!! Of course, it is a great article on fashion trends but, the added coverage of Head Dress surpasses all of our dreams! Thanks so much to Jean!

Finally, I will be getting around shortly to post pics of all our brides who have gotten married and their custom Head Dress veils or hair pieces. They are all amazing if I do say so myself.

Being in the bridal industry can be both exciting and overwhelming when you see all of the many wedding sites out there. Although we are very new to the industry we have had the good fortune to be included in many exciting events this year and still have a few more up our sleeves before 2007 comes to a close.
This week we were so excited to come across a very cool blogger/graphic artist/jewelry designer, Kelly De Luca, who has included us in her Celebrity Wedding Blog. Needless to say we are both thrilled and grateful to her for finding us and including us in such great company as Ramona Kaveza and the girls from Sex in the City (who wouldn't, right?) You can check it out here...

So thank you so much Kelly. And the rest of you need to check out her site as well. It's a fun resource for all things wedding including invitations, photographers, bling and more!!
