Dressing the Bride, 1890's
Of interest to brides, too, I should say. It’s actually funny that there are so many wedding-relevant pictures of Louise Brooks. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
For those interested in Louise Brooks Halloween costume: it’s all in the makeup! Do horizontal eyebrows, china doll wig, long string of pearls, you’re golden!

There’s always the moccasin’d huntress style to consider. A shredded leather gown? Bouquet slung over shoulder in a quiver, or bundled inside a roadworn pack?

Murky, Dank Gorgeousness
One of the best ideas for wedding art direction I’ve ever heard came from my friend Vanessa while planning another friend’s wedding: SWAMP THING. (Amanda ended up going with a different theme)
Now years later I’ve happened on this picture. Is this what you had in mind, Vanessa?
A daily dose of wedding design inspiration, furnished by the “public domain.”
Erianna, shot for Heeb Magazine spread on eyebrows….
Heeb Magazine commissioned me to shoot a fashion feature story on undercelebrated types of Jewish beauty. Erianna graciously posed for this celebration of eyebrows au naturel.
A recent shoot I did of film producer Marieke Oudejans for a Dutch fashion magazine, Elegance. Makeup by Mandy Perez, who is wonderful.
Brides: you are in a rare position to be able to rock Ozma’s enviable Art Nouveau headdress style! Bonus points for using giant poppies as your earmuffs, especially meaningful in a California (or an Oz) wedding.
I did this calligraphy for a friend’s menu, inside a found art nouveau border. It was printed by letterpress on beautiful creamy-coffee Rives paper.
Birdcage Wedding veil bought on Etsy
I loved Millie’s Birdcage Veil.
Her sister was also rocking a drop-dead 1940’s makeup look:
Why do we never see this? Hmmmm…. gorgeousness.
