Testimonials
LISTEN TO WHAT BRIDES HAVE TO SAY
Her creations are simply gorgeous. Tracy talked me through fabric selections and we settled on something perfect. What was created was better than I could have imagined.
The time and care that goes into every hat is evident just by looking at her creations. I have recommended her to ALL my friends.
Tracy designed the veil for my wedding. She was so easy to work with, listened to what I had in mind and presented me with the most beautiful veil. I was a bit nervous as I live in Florida. She asked me to send her a picture of my dress and a sample of the lace on it so she could match it exactly. She asked questions that had not occurred to me, kept me informed of the progress and when all was done I had the most beautiful hand crafted, one of a kind veil I’ve ever seen.

HERE’S A LITTLE MORE DETAIL
Creating vintage bridal hats can take several weeks. The first step is to contact me to set up a bridal appointment. I’m reachable by phone or email and we can meet in person or schedule a video session. At the first appointment, we’ll talk and talk. Where will your wedding take place? At what time of day? What does your wedding outfit look like? Do you have a specific vintage bridal hat in mind? Is your wedding dress from a specific decade? Every bride is different so it’s important for me to understand who you are. One bride might be more comfortable with a small bridal fascinator or birdcage bridal veil, while another bride is looking for a dramatic silhouette.
It can be helpful to see hat samples and drawings to understand shapes, styles, and other options. You might want to use an existing design or create something completely original. If you use an existing vintage bridal hat design, I’ll provide a price to make the bridal headpiece. A 50% deposit is required to move ahead so I can create your piece. In a few weeks, I’ll present you with a preliminary design that is pinned or tacked so changes can still be made. After a few more weeks, we’ll have another appointment to work out any changes and discuss how the piece will stay on. Will a comb be enough to hold the bridal headpiece securely? Would an Alice band be better? What about clips? Once these details are decided, I’ll continue working on your piece until it’s perfect. When everything is ready, you can decide whether you want to pick it up in person for one last fitting or have it shipped.
