Bridal FAQ's

How does the couture/bespoke scenario work? 

Each year we release a new bridal collection ranging from elegant hairbands to statement hats. The collection pieces can either be bought ‘off the shelf’ exactly as they are or they can be re-created in your chosen colours with your chosen trims. 

When having a bespoke piece made you can either start with a piece from the collection or we can create something entirely new just for you. 

Do I need to book an appointment? 

Yes please. I am often busy making pieces and running around town for materials so making sure that I am in and have time to dedicate to you is always a great idea. Just drop me a message or an email and I will book you in. 

What should I bring to my appointment? 

I usually recommend choosing your dress or chosen outfit first so we have an idea of the full silhouette. Fabric samples and/or swatches are also really helpful when envisaging the whole look. 

How many appointments will it take?

Each bespoke piece normally takes two to three appointments. The first appointment will be to plan and design the piece, this is normally the longest appointment (around an hour) and I am always happy to spend some time trying on as many hats as you need in order to find the perfect shape and trims for your piece. I will take a deposit upon the first appointment and then invite you back for a fitting if need be or call you once the piece is complete for a final try on. 

You can then skip off with your hat box! 

Can I have something made if I'm not based in London? 

Yes of course! I am happy to correspond over email by sharing images of outfits and samples, or I can take video appointments from here in my studio over zoom and whats app.  I would ideally recommended a video appointment as I can then show you what I’ve got buried in the studio and get to visualise what will suit you and become familiar with your taste.

Can you match colours to my outfit?

Yes we can, If you are after an exact colour I can dye to match.

How long does the process take?

The process can take anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks.

Can I have something made quickly?

Yes, we can make something last minute but this will be subject to surcharges. We have been known to make something in as little as 24 hours, but of course for best results, please leave plenty of time. 

Can I buy something off the shelf? 

Yes of course, you can buy anything we have ready made in the studio or anything we have available on the website. We do still advise to book an appointment to try the hats on as these pieces are not refundable and it’s always best to make sure you have chosen the perfect one. 

Are there limits to what you can create? 

No! Well actually yes, we can’t quite defy gravity or physics yet. But we can pretty much make anything you have in mind. Just book an appointment and we’ll see what we can do. 

Can I hire a piece If I don't want to buy?

Some of our bridal pieces are available to hire. You can view the full selection of hire pieces here.
