Brides who don't want a white wedding

I will be attending the  Yeppoon Wedding Expo is on 9 March 2014 and I will have a range of classic and contemporary headpieces for brides and her ladies.

I am looking forward to meeting some gorgeous brides to talk about what is new for 2014.  While I love creating beautiful and classic white and ivory pieces I also know that not every bride is looking for a white wedding...

A lot of brides are not choosing to have a veil so it is important to have something interesting on the head to make sure that the whole "look" is just right for that special day.

This is a wonderful option - gold sinamay feathers on an easy to wear headband.

Not every bride dreams of having their bridesmaids with flowers in their hair.  Rockabilly brides are looking for a headpiece that is sure to stay put while they are dancing the night away.

Great for a rockabilly bridesmaid and perfect for the days after.

Not every wedding is a white wedding.  Here is a little black number made from folded ribbon and mounted on a headband and finished off with a pretty upcycled brooch.  I can see that this would be lovely for the bride that has a little black trim on her gown or equally magnificent for a bridesmaid as a pretty hair accessory.

All these pieces are available on my Etsy site https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/LillianLoveHats

Wedding Expo

I recently attended the CQ Bridal Expo here in Rockhampton.   This was my first time exhibiting any of the bridal headpieces I had learnt to make in France earlier this year. I met some wonderful newly engaged gals and their Mums and bridesmaids... there were even a few prospective grooms in the room.
