Spring Weddings

 

 

 

 

 

Spring weddings have been planned many months ago but not everyone buys their head wear at the same time as their dress. In fact I see many brides who choose their head wear much closer to the day.

It can be sometimes tricky to find just what you're looking for and of course no two weddings are the same so the scope for design is very wide.

This is great for the milliner as it gives a full rein to make a wonderful range of various shapes out of many types of materials.

Here are three very different styles that would appeal to quite different styles of brides.

Which would you choose.?

Black is Back

 

Two different styles of bows. The top one is made from crin a synthetic mesh,  the bottom one vintage gross grain ribbon.The crin bow is sat on a black sinamay base edged with black raw silk with a small vintage petersham ribbon bow to secure it into place. The black gross grain ribbon has been wired so that it can be twisted into position and anchored with two buttons one sitting on top of the other. There are lots of black tie weddings at the moment so theses pieces are now in the shop waiting to be whisked away.

Black Lace Pumpkins

With a pair of Lacy black tights, three pumpkins and a little brim reed [plastic wire] Josie who is on placement with me gave me a hand this morning to whip up a quick Halloween window display.
 I showed her how to create a headpiece with brim reed and a pair of tights. The brim reed is held together with brass Ferrel and stretches out the lace tights to help create a sculptural shape. A little knotting, pumpkin coloured birdcage veiling and a clip and it was ready to wear. I wonder if anyone will want to try it on.?
