The weather's acting rather strange of late but the morning sun shine reassures me that Spring is just around the corner!<br />
With that in mind it's the perfect time for turning thoughts to the seasons coming weddings and what to wear!<br />
When ever clients visit my studio looking for headwear, I encourage ladies to try on as many styles as possible to get to know what suits then and in turn style that aren't so complimentary! There is a right hat for everyone and when you find it you should feel and look confidently wonderful in your chosen creation!<br />
<br />
The same can be said for choosing your entire outfit and to help you on your way Phase Eight have some wonderful wedding outfits to choose from! I find their website is easy to follow and what's more they are currently running a wonderful competition where you can style your own wedding outfit! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0HMgYY6y99g/URIyrSOHuII/AAAAAAAAAfQ/5nh5mdaemSA/s1600/13+-+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0HMgYY6y99g/URIyrSOHuII/AAAAAAAAAfQ/5nh5mdaemSA/s1600/13+-+1" /></a></div>
<br />
It's great fun, all you do is choose your desired wedding outfit to be in with a chance of winning a £250 voucher!<br />
<br />
Here is my chosen outfit. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nGi_ium6js4/URIyrXe4CQI/AAAAAAAAAfc/h4wYWcoPK5g/s1600/13+-+2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nGi_ium6js4/URIyrXe4CQI/AAAAAAAAAfc/h4wYWcoPK5g/s320/13+-+2" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And the reason I have chosen this particular look?<br />
<br />
I simply love the bold colour combinations and attractive print in this dress; there are so many accent colours that could be picked out for your accessories. I have opted for the vivid, fresh green tones that lift the over all look and black to balance and compliment the stronger black at the bottom of the dress! This outfit would be the perfect way to brighten the day come rain or shine!<br />

The UK seems to be embracing what it means to be British. Hats of course are a great British tradition and go hand in hand with the British monarchy. I thought there were some wonderful creations on display during the weekend and I simply loved the Duchess of Cambridge's vibrant red outfit!<br />

With this in mind I am proud to be a part of this traditional British craft! To work as a hatter is both challenging and rewarding. It's been a busy month at Sara Gadd Millinery and hats have been flying off their blocks! I love this time of year when there is many a Hatty occasion and weddings are of course in full swing.<br />
<br />
<br />
With the Jubilee in mind, last month I took part in the Talent House Dillon Wallwork and Hatalk competition to design a hat inspired by the Diamond Jubilee. <br />

<br />
This was my creation "Jubilation" which was inspired by the UK flag.<br />
Although the hat didn't win, I was thrilled to see "Jubilation" was well received and constantly remained in the top 15 throughout the voting period! Thank you for your support and kind comments!<br />

Sara Gadd Millinery has been out and about and recently during a beautiful weekend, when the sun was shining gloriously, Sara travelled to Whitehaven, the pretty little port town on the west coast of Cumbria. Here she teamed up with Anita Collow Photographer and Laura Wilkins MUA for an out door photo shoot. Having met a couple of months earlier at a wedding fair in Carlisle, it was suggested the three meet for a collaborative shoot and here are a few of the results!<br />

</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When choosing your outfit remember to dress for a formal day time occasion and not an evening party.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Full hats and larger headpieces are perfect for race meetings whilst fascinators too can look wonderful worn to a wedding.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Try on as many different styles of hats as you can, this will help you find the right hat shape for you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A hat should compliment the wearer not over power the look, the right hat should accentuate your features making you feel confident and happy to stand out from the crowd!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Detailed outfits work well with simple shapes and styles, try teaming a floral dress with a simple yet striking floral headdress. A plainer, less detailed outfit can take a more elaborate hat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For classic timeless style, team a smart suit with a sharp elegant hat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Add a twist to your look by choosing a contrasting coloured hat or choose a complimenting colour that draws upon details within the style as the trim.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When wearing a hat, exaggerate the eyes wearing slightly more eye make up than usual.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Remember you should wear your hat, your hat should not wear you! It’s all about balance and complimenting your overall look. </span></li>

<br />
Dreaming up new ideas I usually look to both contemporary and historical headwear, flicking through magazines and online images for inspiration, this helps to get ideas flowing. I rummage through boxes of feathers, fabrics beads; generally make a mess, and the ideas start to come! <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">January...a fresh start, a new out look...time to focus on all the things you've been putting off...time to try new things.<br />
</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I find being a milliner a rewarding job, getting to meet all kind of new people each week, helping them the find the perfect headwear for their special day.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I often hear people have been searching all over for something special to finish off their outfit. People are looking for an individual unique creation, something a little more chic than the traditional Mother-of-the bride look or high street design. <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">If that's you then you've found the right place! I can create an original design to compliment your overall look. We welcome you into the studio in Corby Hill where there are hats and fascinators to try during a relaxed, private consultation. Here we discuss your ideas and find a style you are happy with. Alternatively if you are further away, designs can be ordered through the website and arranged over the phone and via email. Visit www.saragadd.co.uk<br />

They are suitable for groups of six in the room pictured below. You can choose colours and styles before hand so you can match your outfits for the big day or the party before. Why not try something new and alternative?!<br />
