Bridal Carnival Mad Hatter Top Hat


Weddings. I love em all. Brides. Love them too. They're all wacked out on pretty things 24-7. I can relate. But once in a while a a bride comes along that blows even my mind away. 


 Firstly, when a bride says she's making her own wedding dress I, basically, buckle my seatbelt. This girl is cool. She's cooler than me. L created a dress somewhere between these two dresses. Lace sleeves, full skirt, le sigh*




Then comes a pinteresting message chock full of vintage carnival / circus inspiration! I die! Bowls of carnival tickets, photo booths, chalkboards! 







Oh and btw she says! These are the SPIKED HEELS I'll be wearing with my wedding dress. I danced. In place. I did a real dance. I had JUST found these teeny tiny spikes and was so excited to use them on  a hat. What better hat than this one!!!?


I had also recently purchased these A-MAZING vintage carnival tickets from Modern Poetry on Etsy. I was clearly meant to make this hat! 


Tiny spikes!!


L's wedding date is October 6th!! Hello Mad Hatter tag! I assure you...it does not stop there. This hat is so full of hidden treasures that it is a FEAST for your eyes from every angle. 

Monochromatic pink stripes, ivory satin, a modern orange calico fabric. Orchids! Lilies! Popcorn! You name it. This hat IS a carnival! 


So much love to Leesie on her wedding week! Thanks for being such an inspiration and trusting me with your headpiece! Hope you love it as much as I do!

Large flower headpiece hat headband

Every time I make a new style headpiece, I think its my favorite ever. Can't stop making them. Can't stop looking at them. Can't stop thinking of places to wear them. I dont know. These silk flower headbands may just stay on top for a while. I love every little thing about them. The exaggerated size, the height, the dimensions...all of it! 

Enjoy and shop for the sake of Jesus! 




I wanted the flower to still look like a hat but be easy and flattering for any person in the entire universe; so they are built to be worn on a super thin silver headband. 


They look totally different worn different ways. Oh huge floppy flower. I heart thee. 
This is created with a white silk dupioni and a very light silver satin. 


 LOVE the purple as well. Made with a dusty lavender satin. (Think Julia Roberts a la My Best Friend's Wedding) Grey satin and a dusty mauve silk dupioni. Click any photo for the listing to purchase!)


Anyone else seeing a couture ghost costume?!
