Featured Fascinators

(by kind permission….the utterly fab Archibald Photography)

There are trends that come and go fairly quickly….but I see no let up yet with the modern brides veil of choice …the Birdcage. Seen in many guises this cute, elegant, chic, dramatic little number is just running and running.

You’ve got to love it….it can any number of things to any number of brides and their chosen style of dress. I love the retro peek- a -boo look…worn with a fifties full skirt and a nipped in waist. The ever so chic 30′s brides with a bias cut silk column dress…all this girl needs is the whisper of soft tulle across her face, a strategically place vintage jewel and floaty ostrich feathers and you’re good to go.

I’m working on my new collection…needless to say the Birdcage will feature prominently….I’m looking at boho bride, sparkling bride, beach bride  amongst other……as soon as I have some pictures will let you see them.

In the mean time some tried and tested favourites!

Afternoon everyone

….another school year begins, another gorgeous Italian holiday is over and I have to get my head in gear to work and organise and design my new collection…mmmmmm.

If only it was that straight forward! I am still super busy with all my lovely couture wearing ladies…have been sending designs all over the world…America, Australia, Brazil, Germany etc etc. The world appears to have gone fascinator mad!! My order book is still full and there aren’t enough hours in the day…hence my complete failure at blogging!!

Although I’m already moaning about the weather and the cold..(.is Cheshire the wettest place on earth?  Not far off I reckon!!)……I am excited about Autumn and Christmas occasions, the excuse to wear something fabulous and sparkly…as many of my customers are doing….and wrapping ourselves in the richest of fabric, velvets, jewel like silk and  shiny new leather boots!!

There seems to be the annual serge towards all thing country…lots of pheasant feather requests, either long and dramatic or short feathers covering a pill box……give me some tartan and some heather and an open fire and we have the makings of a grand occasion!

Worn perhaps with…….
