Wedding Mini Top Hat with Birdcage Veil

I felt like making a hat that was sexy and dramatic but subtle enough to be versatile. Computer screens do not do this shade of purple any justice. It has grey hues like wisteria. 


Gaspppp* The Jill Andrews Gowns studio
Honestly, photos dont do this shit justice either. Mantels and sunlight and soaring ceilings, couture and lace and feathers. And of course Jill, herself!  Ugh. Never ever want to leave.


I swear we didnt even plan my hat and Jill's stunning purple gown. Welcome to my world people. The gown is actually from The brand spankin new Jill Andrews Studio Line. Get fricken excited. Click the photo for more info.


The materials from this hat came from a nice little hoard per usual. The "ombre" peony. Ha. Back in school we use to call that monochromatic. But whatevs. I'll be hip. Grey goose feathers and grey French netting almost became a hundred different things before they found their home on this gal. 


Meow. Magic face: Erica Von Lindberg of A Second Glance Salon. 
Makeup by the gorgeous, wonderful Maureen Flynn of Tom Ford. "I want to make her lips look like she was sucking on a lollipop." Umm ok. Yes. Do THAT.

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.
