FEATURED ON THE WEDDING CHICKS!!!

When I was engaged in 2009 The Wedding Chicks had just busted out of the gates with their DIY wedding blog and needless to say - I was ALL over it. Here we are a measly 3 years later and my work is featured there?!?! This is so awesome I hadnt even dreamt it!! Thank you thank you thank you!

Headpiece Inspiration:

Invitation By Shel Silverstein in The Sidewalk Ends

                                                                                    If you are a dreamer, come in.

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .

If you’re a pretender, 

come sit by my fire,

For we have some flax golden tales to spin.

Come in!

Come in!

I love this color palette. Top hat was handmade using a grey silk dupioni, dusty pink satin and tulle. I love gold on anything! Vintage gold leaf found at a flea market in Vermont! The gold/brown goose feather makes it so subtly earthy.

 Could cry over this bouquet by Anthomanic. 

You may recognize the birdcage veil piece from the Cherry Blossom Collection. This thing seriously looks a-mazing on everyone!! 

This hat looks good at every angle. Mission accomplished.

Woodland Wonderland

I am so inspired by this woodsy, Autumn color palette for an Alice in Wonderland wedding.

Burnt Orange, Purple Plum, Coffee/Toffee, Antique Gold & Cream

(and some lace to top it off)

Remember this vintage cameo earring?? Perfect fit. There is one of the pair left!

Burnt orange, gold and ivory flower girl hats. De-light-ful.

So Victorian and romantic....sigh*

Dreaming of Fall (shh)

Oh the Madness!

Just when you thought you were the maddest, the owner of this mini top hat will come along and do something like serve you coffee instead of tea. Shannon was incredible to work with. "If you're gonna go Mad Hatter, go Mad Hatter, right?" Music to my ears....


Created from scratch using gorgeous hot pink and turquoise satins. Trimmed OUT in antique gold and amber trims, colorful foam and paper flowers, peekaboo gold damask fabrics, a pocket full of curled peacock feathers! Oh my!

Every single Mad Hatter tag is hand drawn and crafted with ridiculous amounts of awesome detailing..

I picked this vintage pin up from a Flea in Fells Point last summer. Im not entirely sure when it is from but it screams 50's to me with the painted metals and rhinestone bird eyes. Ooooo. I have been saving it until I found its perfect fit and Shannon was the one!!

As always... to have your own custom mad hatter hat made - message me in my Etsy shop

Have a Mad Monday in the best of ways!
Love,
Jas

Mini Top Hat - St Patricks Day 2011

Happy Saturday morning little Leprechauns! You didn't think I would forget one of the top hattiest days of the year, did you? With faeries and couture brides on the brain, The Patti, stands alone as an homage to my favorite whiskey drinkin', table dancin' people: The Irish.


Created from scratch using a Kelly Green satin, antique gold trim, peacock sword and goose feathers, oh my! Her round gold brooch makes her completely one of a kind, so only one lucky lady gets to take her out!


I see Patti with some knee high boots, denim jacket, and maybe some of this on your lips. My idea of St. Patty's day is taking it over the top...casually. ;)

M-A-C Tinted Lip Conditioner in Petting Pink - $15.00

And definitely some of this:

Mini Top Hat - The Bijou

All that glitters is quite obviously gold.

The ever delightful Tonya of Tonya Joy Photography held a carnival inspired photography workshop in sunny California last week. Tonya's vision was my personal circus dream. Among the pages of completely glittered fantasy inspiration, she included this:


Well, we all know how much I truly adore the carnival and working with glitter. I immediately knew I wanted to make the Bijou. A sleek, elegant, whimsical and delicate hat that is completely couture. But first! I had to get the ribbons and lollipops out of my system. Here is just a peek of other top hats inspired by Tonya.



(Jasika fact: I am a hoarder. I have had these colorful pastel ribbons since 2007 when Petite Four Couture was born. They were included on the very first PFC gift box. I may keep this hat for myself... See? Hoarder.)

I don't blame Tonya one bit for choosing The Bijou for the photo shoot. It looks right at home.

You must swing by to Tonya's blog for more breathtaking carnival photos from the day.

Mini Top Hats for the Nautical Bride

If you're anything like me, you love the outdoors, namely, any body of water. You think there is no better setting for a wedding than amongst nature. Well, outdoor weddings are no longer limited to bare feet and picnics. (Although, bare feet and picnics are, hands down, 2 of the greatest joys in life.) But, if you want to marry the lavish, natural, and the unique lets start at the top. Your head.

I was inspired by this fabric. Period. This series of nautical prints was my biggest fabric splurge of 2010.


They jumped out at me from across the room. The unexpected shades of gold and blue, the pattern, the depth, the stitching...

I want to thank Tiffany Elizabeth Photography for the striking models and stunning photographs. Another great joy in life is being surprised by amazing photography.

The blues and golds were so French to me. I wanted to channel Marie Antoinette for "The Voyage" hence the pop of dusty pink and the natural white ostrich plume. This color combination is my all time favorite and was the palette for my wedding.

This hat stands alone in its more subtle, whimsical tone. I love any bride who is not afraid of gold (or tiny hats). I can also see this as a sister hat for a seriously fashionable bridal party.




I hope you love these as much as I do. They are pure joy! Thanks again to Tiffany Elizabeth. Please go swing by her website. It is full of pretty!
