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. 

Photography by the one, the only, Leah Miller.

Garden Party Top Hat - Ob La Di

Hello loves! Remember this sunny, bright, colorful top hat? Yea - me too. I won't sell it ;) Well with so much interest and a dwindling supply of foam flowers, I have created a twin for her for sale in my Etsy shop.

This version is a little more dressed up using red, yellow, hot pink and purple silk flowers. Instead of the yellow bandana, The Ob La Di is sporting a navy blue satin sash and bow. Making this hat perfect for any tea party, garden party, or Alice inspired frolic.

The contrast of the pop of colors with the classic navy blue stripe makes me want to be on a boat. A really really fun boat.

Colorful Bridal Tea Hats of the Mini kind...

Hot Pink, turquoise, lime green, purple, yellow - OH MY!!! Really, there is nothing I can say about these bright, tiny top hats except - I've always wanted to live in a candy shop and for a couple weeks - I DID!

Bye bye - Foam Flowers. These went FAST and I wont lie, I am sort of sad about it.

Mini Top Hat - A Midsummer Night's Dream

I, for one, I am dreaming of summer festivals, backyard lanterns and bare feet. I am so glad C came along with her gorgeous wedding details in Persian purple and monochromatic blues. Mosses, branches, whimsical bow ties for the boys and, of course, tea pots! (A girl after my own heart!)


I am fairly certain that every mother secretly wants to see her daughter in a veil. I wore two veils as I walked down the aisle to appease everyone. True story. To me: this french net is the perfect compromise. It is tucked within the flowers to give it natural, full look then cascades along the side and bottom of the brim to give the illusion and certainly the feel of wearing a bird cage veil. (I tried this on and gasped. I am now planning my 678th wedding..)



I created a ruffle from both dupioni silks to keep with the elegant feel C is going for. It also acts as a little flower cone for the spray of purple flowers. Details! Details!

It shouldn't be a hard transition today to work on Faerie hats for the festival!

Mad Hatter Hats! And how!

Day 2 of Mad Hatter Week and I am here to tell you : You have all definitely not lost your "muchness"! I was blown away by the massive amounts of madness this Halloween. All of my customers who dressed up as the Mad Hatter this year did so exceptionally and with so much valor!

I wish you could have seen the studio bursting with laces and dates, satins and plaids in every color, feathers in every shape and size. You are ALL MAD and you rock my nation.

My favorite thing of all is creating a hat off of an outfit. While I love a girl who knows exactly what she wants, creating something as I go is how I come up with some of my best hats! Thanks for the faith <3

While we are on the topic: I want to thank everyone both local and national for making Two Back Flats' first Halloween such a huge success. It truly means the world. Best. Ever.
