I collect vintage hats and rework them to be wearable today. Silk flowers, ribbons, feathers, baubles and pearls are some of my favorite things. I turn them into beautiful and flattering headwear to beguile and charm everyone who sees you!
Girl’s nights out are enhanced immeasurably by appropriate headgear.
Here’s a beautiful chapeau from a past Fall collection: an Italian tweed bucket hat with Victorian-era feathers and velvet berries, Edwardian mother-of-pearl tie-tack and petersham millinery ribbon.
I hope you saw the spread about me at Verve Magazine.
AND the Spring 2012 Style feature in the Mountain Xpress!
A beautiful bride in a lovely fascinator at her reception; she changed from her long veil into a fun and easy headband adorned with ostrich feathers, vintage pearls and a luxurious silk rose, all coordinated to the colors of her wedding.
If you are a bride-to-be, we can work together to create a stunning and personal look for the ceremony, reception or showers. I just got a sizable (and awesome!) collection of vintage bridal headpieces and tiaras that I am deconstructing (click here for photos and woo-hoo!s) and I’d love to create something gorgeous just for you and your special day! Tiaras, hats, bridesmaids accessories, corsages, bouquets…the possibilities are endless! *faints from creative overload*
Okay, I’m back. Wheeee!
Members of the wedding party and guests will get a secret “your wedding” discount code if they’d like a chapeau to wear to the wedding. Let’s work together to make your wedding day fashions elegant, unique and full of the glamor of yester-year!
