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!

Mini Top Hats - The Dupioni Silk Collection

Bonjour jolies! I am very excited and proud to present my latest collection of tiny hats! Inspired by my favorite lady rock star in history - Marie Antoinette. I have always been enamored by the luxury and details of French fashion, decor and pastries.

We can't give Marie all the credit though, Dupioni silks are my most favorite and most inspiring fabrics to touch or simply look at. It makes me want to sew fourteen foot curtains and ball gowns. Like all of my French net for birdcage veils, my silks have been imported from France ensuring complete authenticity and quality.

Featuring Olive, Tan and Grey Blue Silks offset in gold trims, lush bouquets and vintage brooches. These hats are perfect for brides, tea party throwers and goers or anyone who appreciates the finer things. And lets get real - The finest should go atop your head.

They are being offered at a special introductory price for the Holiday Season only. Please check out my SHOP for purchasing information or click on the images below for listings.
