beautiful Brides

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

Bridal Trends Hollywood glamour seems to be happening - The veil seems to have disappeared and headpieces have jumped to the top of the style list. Beading, jewels, crystals 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.

A wonderful experience for me as their milliner!!

from Nikki Peterson, USA

"I want to get married all over again just so I can wear my headpiece and birdcage veil you created. I felt so amazingly beautiful. You knew exactly what I wanted & created something even better than I expected -

I will be back for more!

You are THE BEST "

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 was so thrilled with the result and received so many compliments on my wedding day that I recommend all brides have a Wendi creation on their wedding day!"

from Michelle
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 Marina-gorgeous Aunt of Stephanie, a new Bride,

"Wendi, you are the gem. Thank you for your beautiful creation - very chic, very European. It pulls everything together emphasizing the beauty of the bride and the elegance of the dress. We will definitely be back with a bottle of champagne and some photos."

from Robyn...I had been offered diamantes to embellish my nanna's old

hat by another so called "hatmaker" - perish the thought! So finding Wendi,

a unique milliner who understood what I wanted for my wedding, was amazing.

I was made to feel part of the creative process by choosing from boxes of vintage treasures. Wendi also demonstrated how to care for the hat & how to wear it correctly. My HAT was the most talked about part of my wedding!

It will remain truly special to me... Thanks again"

mother of the Bride/Groom elegant sophistication with a twist!

It’s just as important that she looks elegant and feels fabulous too!... A styling session and a gorgeous hat or headpiece to compliment her outfit will make her look 10 years younger.

“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!”
