JUST A LITTLE REMINDER…

Behind every message, consultation, hire appointment, parcel, design and finished hat… it’s just me.

I’m the one replying to enquiries, helping customers choose the perfect piece, carrying out consultations, creating bespoke designs, preparing postal hires, organising collections, updating social media and somehow keeping everything running behind the scenes too!

As we’re now in the middle of the busy wedding and racing season, replies may occasionally take a little longer than usual. Please don’t worry if you haven’t heard back straight away.

If you’re waiting for an update, the quickest way to reach me is simply to send me a message. I don’t always have time to proactively update everyone individually, but I will always do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience, your support and for choosing to support a small business. It genuinely means the world.

I can’t stress enough, that you do not have to have your outfit to book. So many have done this and been disappointed that i was already fully booked by the time that they contacted me.

You can secure your spot now with a £20 non-refundable deposit and just the date.

Something a little different ……
I started out making bridal headwear many moons ago and although I mainly make for Mothers, guests and race goers these days, I still can make bridal headwear.

When Kirsty asked me to make something; I of course said yes. She had inspo photos of her vision and I got to work.

The leaf shapes I made from off cuts from her dress. So it was a perfect colour match . The photos don’t do it justice and she looked absolutely stunning.

“I trust you completely.”

Those were the words Andrea said to me when she brought her Mother of the Bride outfit to me.

This is the second Mother of the Bride hat I’ve created for her over the years, and she’s also hired pieces from me in the past, so we’ve built a relationship based on trust and understanding. I know the styles she loves, the things she don’t, and most importantly, how she wants to feel when she walks into a special occasion.

The moment I saw her outfit, I knew we needed something completely different from her previous design while still feeling elegant, flattering and unmistakably her.

I had a vision for the shape and style, and after trying it on, she simply said, “Yes, that’s it. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

From there, the creative process really began. I hand-dyed the sinamay to create the perfect colour match for her outfit and then brought the design to life. Colour matching can make all the difference to the finished look, and I was delighted with how beautifully the shade turned out.

That level of trust is never something I take for granted.

Many clients worry about commissioning a bespoke piece because they’re putting their faith in someone else’s vision. The reality is that bespoke millinery is a collaboration. I listen carefully, get to know your style, and guide you towards designs that will work beautifully for both you and your outfit. And if something needs adjusting along the way, that’s all part of the process.

The end result? A completely unique piece designed especially for Andrea, and she was absolutely thrilled when she collected it.

Thank you for trusting me once again. I can’t wait to see the photographs from the big day.

Introducing a new shape….
I’ve named this Tracey after the 1st person to wear it.

It was a huge honour to make this for Tracey as she was a work colleague from my days working for Powys County Council. Tracey travelled down from north Powys to see me and it was lovely to see her again.

I absolutely loved her outfit and this new style was just perfect for her classic timeless look.
