Ascot Hats Crystals And Leaves

This week there are a few last minute hats for Ascot where everyone wants to look fabulous.

I have a selection of hats ready to go and there is still just enough time to have a hat made to order.

The lovely little Bell Hop hat with antique veil and tumbling smoky crystals is great to wear all day put really cuts a dash in the style stakes.

As you may know I love flowers and at the moment my little pots are all flowering beautifully.

Toady I am going to make a hat for my display during the Tour De France it will be very round.!

Soft Golds And Mad Hatters Tea

I'm a little behind with my blog posts at the moment so here's a selection of whats been happening in the workroom lately.

Soft Gold tones look great with cream bridal gowns so this week there has been a selection of head wear with that in mind.

A bell hop hat with an antique gold veil secured with smoky gold swarovski crystals that tumble across the side of the left eye and a couple of smaller cocktail hats, plus the cloche hat with the ripple brim is now finished and on show in the shop.

Also this week one of my lovely interns left and gave me the most thoughtful gifts including the Mad Hatters Tea.! Melissa has been working with me for 11 months so I will miss her but she returns to uni in Sept to finish her degree and she'll have a few new tricks up her sleeve when she starts making her costumes again.

Today is the Hebden Bridge Hand Made Parade which is a little like the Rio Carnival but in Yorkshire and I can't wait to see the amazing parade and hear the Samba band.

Disco wedding shoot

 

A couple of weeks ago I was involved with a disco wedding shoot that my pal the very clever Shelly Mantovani pulled together with many other talented people to create this Disco styled wedding shoot for the The Faversham in Leeds.
Like all shoots there are many hiccoughs along the way but on the day it all came together in one glorious glittery bang.
I made a bell hop hat with a cherry trim, Disco headdress, a red visor, sinamay crown and a bridal martini froth.
We had a lots of laughing throughout the day and this is a small selection of images.
