Do you offer bespoke services for mothers of the bride and groom hats?

Yes, I specialise in creating bespoke hats and fascinators tailored to your individual style and preferences. Whether you have a specific design in mind or need guidance in creating a custom piece, I will work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

How long does the bespoke process take?

The timeline for creating a bespoke hat or fascinator can vary depending on factors such as design complexity and materials availability. Typically, I recommend allowing several weeks for the entire process, including consultations, design development, and final fittings. However, I strive to accommodate urgent requests whenever possible.

Can I choose the materials and colours for my bespoke hat?

Absolutely! One of the joys of opting for a bespoke piece is the opportunity to select materials and colours that resonate with your personal style and complement your outfit. Whether you prefer sumptuous silk, delicate lace, or vibrant feathers, I offer a wide range of options to suit your taste.

How do I schedule a consultation for a bespoke hat?

Scheduling a consultation is easy! Simply reach out to me via phone or email to arrange a convenient time to discuss your bespoke hat requirements. During the consultation, I will guide you through the design process, offering expert advice and recommendations to ensure your hat perfectly reflects your vision.

Do you also create hats for visitors of horse races and other social events?

Yes, in addition to the mother of the bride and groom hats, I design hats and fascinators for a variety of occasions, including horse races, garden parties, and other social events. Whether you're attending Ascot or a local race meet, I have the perfect headpiece to complement your outfit and make a statement.

What sets your bespoke hats apart from ready-to-wear options?

My bespoke hats are meticulously crafted to your exact specifications, offering a level of personalisation and attention to detail that sets them apart from ready-to-wear options. From the initial design concept to the final fitting, I ensure that your bespoke hat is a true reflection of your style, personality, and individuality.

Can I create a bespoke piece at distance/online?

Of course!! Many of my clients are based overseas and thus coming to my studio in Scotland is just not possible. But through close consultation over zoom and whatsapp we work closely together to create the perfect piece. I regularly send hat pieces all over the globe. If UPS delivers there, I can get a hat there!

I am short on time, how quickly can a hat be created?

As someone who rarely decides what she is wearing to an event until the last minute, I completely get it! I am always happy to work to short time scales if my workload has the flexibility. As you may expect, February to September is my busiest period and in the run up to major events such as The Kentucky Derby and Royal Ascot, I can get extremely busy. I always have some ready to wear pieces available for immediate dispatch. But if these don't suit, please do still get in touch and I will do what I can, subject to minimal sleep requirements and availability of raw materials!
