Rosebud Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Got the dress (yipee) now I'm starting the search for a hat for my daughter's wedding!! I had hoped to get the complete outfit in one shop but that wasn't meant to be. Could anyone suggest where to begin my search? Would prefer to shop local but I'm not against travelling if necessary. I also need to find shoes and a handbag. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophiec1979 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 are you looking for a full brimmed hat, a fascinator....or is it a "ill know it when i see it" idea at the mo? when is the wedding? have you given any consideration to the materials you would like it to be made in, for example a straw or sinamay for a summer wedding or a felt for cooler temperatures. are you a feathers or flowers lady...or are you thinking a bit of both? does your dress have any pattern in it? are you wanting to keep the outfit all in the same colour tones or would you like to introduce an accent colour? i may not be able to recommend a high street shop, but i hope this provides some useful things to consider when making your choice x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a hat rather than a fascinator, other than that I'm quite open-minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiec1979 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's a Spring wedding. I'm looking for a hat rather than a fascinator, other than that I'm quite open-minded. although i dont have the necessary blocks to handmake a brimmed hat, the most cost effective option would be to use a bought in undecorated hat. this would allow you choose exactly how you want the hat to be decorated to tie-in perfectly with your dress. i have several suppliers who supply these if you would like a hat made to order. these are all in a lightweight sinamay which would be the perfect material and they come in a huge range of colours. i have only done one so far, also for a fellow forum member, and there are photos of this piece in my custom order and happy customer albums on FB if you want to have a nosy. if you have any questions, please do feel free to email me x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My mum went to a place on Middlewood rd for her dress, hat, shoes and bag. She got a bit carried away I think, but actually the shoes, bag and hatinator were pretty reasonable considering. Anyway the ladies there were really nice. http://www.new-image.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
