‘Bridesmaid’ Articles
She’s just popping in for a teensy little nightcap. Is it her fault heads turn, conversations cease, and the bartender forgets what he’s pouring? Well…yeah, kind of. She knew this sexy little hat of cognac-colored satin with its jagged veil was a hearts-stopper when she put it on. Oh, she knew.
There’s so much going on here, all of it hot: satin hat edged in black ribbon, matching handmade flower with a center of smoky Swarovski crystals, mysterious little veil. It all attaches securely with a comb and a tiny bit of Velcro, just to make sure it behaves…even if you don’t.
Don’t rule it out for a bride. We could even make you a matching sash for your gown.

Where are you going with that flower in your hair, girl? Salsa dancing? Wedding on the beach? Outdoor concert? Wherever you go, eyes will follow.
A comment on this site suggested that we make a patterned flower. Why not? This one is black chiffon with white and metallic gold dots, with a beaded center detail–light and sheer for summertime, with just a speck of glitz for evening. As always, it comes with a hair clip and a brooch pin. When you wear it, you’ll appreciate our trick of making these flowers with the bottom layer curved to hug your head…or shoulder, or wherever you might pin a thing of such beauty.

These flowers come with a clip for the hair and a brooch pin. They make great bridemaids’ gifts. How about letting your ‘maids decide for themselves which way to wear them–in their hair, on their shoulder, at the waist, or…?

“Good-bye, Mama! Don’t wait up.” And she’s off , careful not to turn around because she knows the rhinestones on the sheer brim of her hat take
things in a whole other, decidedly less prim, direction. Because even a good girl needs to have an adventure now and then.
Shown here in black satin and horsehair, the hat is right in step with a retro bridesmaid look. Inquire about other colors.

Ah, those languid days by the water…she thinks there might be somewhere she’s supposed to be, or something she should be doing, but really, how important could it be? All that matters is the sun, the lake, and how incredibly hot she looks. Her fascinator is made of grassy green feathers and paper flowers with a sweet vintage feel. Tucked into the most casual of ‘dos, it turns the simplest sundress into an ensemble that could go straight to dinner and dancing. Or just sit right here. Mmmmmm…………

On a headband with 3 flowers: $25

Sure, this glossy black hat is sophisticated, but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t get her giggle on when she wears it. And when she does, wherever she
goes, the party follows. All she needs is a martini (or a martini glass) to round out the look.
A hat that won’t be accused of age discrimination, this one’s as appropriate for the mother of the bride as it is for a bridesmaid. A comb keeps it secure, no matter how hard you laugh.

A mini version of Onion Top. It’s kind of punky with the frayed onion-bag netting; a version with millinery netting could be more refined, if you prefer. This one comes on a small barrette, perfect to pop into your ‘do wherever it looks best. Works great with jeans… shown here with a bridesmaid’s dress. What would you pair it with? What wouldn’t you?
