A Head For The Hat Season

It's a busy time of year for milliners, the wedding season's in full swing, garden parties are taking hold, race meetings galor and the one and only Royal Ascot just around the corner!

Here at Sara Gadd Millinery it's no exception and we are in a creative frenzie every day!

In addition to creating headwear, Sara has been spreading the 'hatty word' appearing as guest speaker for many local groups...it's been a busy season!  It's been great fun meeting lots of new faces, handing our hat advice, oh and sampling many a wonderful cake!

Last month Sara Gadd Millinery teamed up with Pink Tulip Photography in a wonderful vintage bridal boutique photoshoot.

Make up featured by Bridget Foster and our bequtiful models were Jeni Banks of Mayfifteen and Michelle Serrechia.

Here are a few images, they will also be featuring on the updated website soon!

Warwick Hall was our stunning venue for the shoot and we were so lucky with beautiful weather!

A collection of my family vintage pieces helped with styling the shoot which also included this wonderful vintage bike!

The shoots really created excellent results and I look forward to working with Pink Tulip again in the future.

New Year, New Hats, New Hen Parties - New you!

At Sara Gadd Millinery I am currently sewing away making new hats, headdresses and fascinators for Spring/Summer 2010. With beautiful hand made silk flowers, frivolous feathers and luxurious silks there's something for everyone!

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.

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.

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.

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

We also offer ‘Hattie Hen Parties’ for a hen party with a difference from our studio in Corby Hill, Carlisle, Cumbria.  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?!

We hope to see you soon!
