beautiful Brides

For women wanting to express their unique style and daring to be different

 

Bridal Trends Hollywood glamour seems to be happening - The long veil seems to have disappeared and headpieces have jumped to the top of the style list. Alternatively, a long veil is worn only to the ceremony and is replaced by a specially designed headpiece that is worn throughout the reception.

Beading, jewels, crystals, lace and feathers have been adorning the heads of my Sydney and overseas brides. Feathers are soft and vintage or brightly coloured. It's always a pleasure to work with these women who have a distinctive style of their own and it's very important that they outshine everyone on their wedding day.

The latest sumptuous bridal fabrics I have been working with range from incandescent champagne to dusty pink and antique gold. I have been lovingly dying feathers, lace and sinamay…having flowers especially handmade from matching fabric, and finding the perfect pearls or beads to complete the whole piece.

Contemporary brides are daring to be different.

Garden weddings with 1950's style hats or headpieces in vivid jewel colours with exotic feathers.

 A wonderful experience for me as their milliner!!

I can’t wait to have another piece created for me"

from Gemma

'My lace headpiece was the most important part of my wedding day! I wanted something in the same style as my 1920s gown and Wendi's creative talent, infectious enthusiasm and attention to detail made the whole experience fun and so easy. I received so many compliments on my wedding day that I recommend all brides have a Wendi creation on their wedding day!"

"Your beautiful headpiece was the pièce de résistance of my outfit. It was better than I could have anticipated. Your work is fascinating, and I loved the way you developed the headpiece from my vague idea. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

from Robyn "I had been offered diamantes to embellish my nanna's vintage

hat by a so called "hatmaker" - perish the thought!

Wendi understood my needs and created it perfectly. I felt part of the whole creative process by choosing from her boxes of vintage treasures & shown how to care for & how to wear the hat.

 My HAT was the most talked about part of my wedding!

 It will remain truly special to me. Thanks again" 

 

From Camille - Adelaide SA

"It was such an amazing experience working with

 you and I cannot believe

 how absolutely gorgeous

 the piece was, the colour perfectly matched with my gown. I got so many compliments and people

 are still talking about it.

 The headpiece was a VIP guest at that party,

 let me tell you!"

 

from Julie "I was truly amazed with what you created for my wedding..

I’m not used to wearing a hat but was determined to look and feel my very best at my only daughter's wedding.  Wendi's friendly manner and the relaxing ambiance of her studio made the whole experience an utter joy. I am truly grateful for Wendi's priceless styling tips. Her creativity and patience resulted in a whole new...and stunning...me from top to toe!  I can't wait to repeat the experience when my sons finally take the plunge!”  from Vivienne

 

from Elizabeth

Fabulous Grandmother of the Groom
I knew I simply couldn't attend a wedding in the UK  

without wearing a hat or a fascinator. So naturally I went 

to Wendi to make me look gorgeous, and feel 20 years younger!
