Past, Present and Future

She’s a modern girl who loved to play dress-up with her glamorous grandma’s hats. A true fascinator in every sense of the word, this wee raw silk hat is a nod to the past as the bride looks to her future. The small bow gathers a wedge of ivory netting that has been hand-dotted with bits of chenille that are much finer than those on commercial dotted netting. Very old-school. Creamy feathers waft behind as the bride floats down the aisle.

Shown here in ivory with champagne trim. Also available in white.

As shown: $100

What happens when our designers spend a Saturday afternoon watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the movie where Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell have a double wedding, wearing identical dresses and little veiled hats? Well…this! A modern take on a retro hat with a wee tulle veil and a voluptuous handmade chiffon rose with a pearly center. The hat itself is covered in pleated ivory satin, very much in keeping with current bridal gown fashion, but equally at home with a vintage look.

Rock me like a hurricane

Here’s a headpiece that tells the story of a love like a hurricane–wild, dangerous, but totally peaceful at its center. It features a satin-covered base with a storm of hand-placed crystals and and extravagant swirl of feathers to catch the breeze. It attaches with an alligator clip, so you can place it just where you want it.

Feathers up, it’s a little more daring. Feathers down, a bit more of a hat. Either way, it pairs beautifully with a birdcage (sold separately).

**NEW DESIGN**

(Sometimes we’re so in love with a new design that we just can’t wait for a photoshoot with a real model.)

So have you noticed? Some of the most modern styles have a retro vibe, like this frothy little bridal hat that balances an up-to-date look with a romantic, vintage feel. It features a handmade flower of satin, lace, organdy and pearly details perched atop a small hat of ivory lace over white satin. We’re happy to do all ivory, all white, or any other colors that strike your fancy.

Do I!

**NEW DESIGN**

A very sweet bride with a teensy little rebellious streak asked us if we could put black dots on white netting. Boy, could we! We balanced those chenille dots with a pouf of black marabou and a retro button on this white feather hat. We’ve seen it paired nicely with non-bridal styles, too, from an LBD to jeans and a white shirt. Attaches with a comb so you can dance the night away.

Sequins and Feathers

OverTheTop — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:54:11 +0000

When a face is this beautiful, why hide it behind a veil? Last year, we’d have probably suggested a piece like this to go with a wedding suit, perhaps for a bride who’d been down the aisle before. And it’s still perfect for that. But as the new collections are coming out, these unveiled feather demi-hats are also turning up on the runway with full-blown bridal gowns and they look fabulous together. This one has a sequined flower that brings out the peachy undertone in both the feathers and your blushing cheeks. Not strictly bridal, by any means.

Fluffy, Not Stuffy

So you’re not a child bride. Maybe you’ve been down the aisle a time or two; maybe you are renewing your wedding vows. This retro feather hat is for the woman who’s sure of herself, grown-up and smashing. It’s secured by a small comb and is shown here with a chic veil that can stop anywhere from forehead to chin. Lovely with short hair, and not necessarily bridal, especially sans veil.
