As the self proclaimed 'Queen of Bows', as soon as I saw the mood board for this gorgeous french countryside inspired editorial, I just knew that I had to create a larger than life french blue bow and dusty blue veil. It just had to happen. Paired with Catherine Langlois' gorgeous new Elle gown in a large floral burnout organza, it was a match made in heaven!
Yesterday's editorial was pure magic that was created by such an incredible team and featured the cutest real couple. It literally had me yearning to jet set back to France. I cannot wait to share the final images.

I am so blessed that my adornments get to be a part of so many beautiful editorial shoots throughout the year. 2023 was no exception and the creativity this year was off the charts!
Half of the designs in this reel were made specifically for the editorial shoots which allowed me to really get out of my comfort zone and create which is what I truly love to do! (And some might be part of the next collection which I am currently working on!)
These are some of my favourite shots of the year captured both near and far. To all the incredible talents that I got to work with in 2023, thank you!

A new drop of colour feather headbands has just arrived to Hefter Collection Luxe Accessories in Yorkville Village! I had such a great time sourcing and curating this beautiful collection of new colours just in time for the upcoming holiday season!
Each feather is hand cut and shaped to create each unique and one of a kind headband and is finished with pretty sparkly Austrian crystals!
Available exclusively at @luxehairaccessories

This past Sunday was the first running of the King's Plate at Woodbine racetrack. Canada's version of the Kentucky Derby/Royal Ascots and what a delight it was!
As I do, I created some whimsical headpieces for my friends and I to wear to the event, to top off our pretty dresses!
The day started early with some bubbly as we cheered to the late Queen in her memory, honored our new King and then the festivities began!
A wonderful day full of good company, laughter and fantastical millinery! Can't wait until next year!

Recently, I went back to my roots and created a little mini capsule collection of feather headbands for our retailer Hefter Collection in Yorkville. Perfect for the upcoming King's Plate in August or outdoor summer weddings, these sweet headbands feature beautiful handcut duck feathers, peacock fringe, rooster feathers, birdcage netting and Preciosa crystal clusters.
#funfact the emerald green version is a replica of the first feather headband I ever made in 2008!
These colours are available exclusively at @luxehairaccessories with another new drop of colours arriving there soon!

I'm sure we've all seen Kate's stunning Coronation crown by now, and I for one am still totally enamoured by it!
I was so thrilled when @alisonmcgill asked me to provide my thoughts on her striking headpiece for an article she was writing for @thekitca and how this beautiful adornment will translate into wedding wear for the coming season!
The article is now live and we share our thoughts on all things royal crowns and features our beautiful Victoria Crown (recoloured in silver, available soon!)

Thank you to Alison for allowing me this wonderful opportunity!

Yesterday was such a dream!
I've been so lucky to be able to create for and attend so many beautiful editorial shoots recently! Its been a real treat to get out of the studio, see friends and meet new people!
Yesterday was a beautiful collaboration of friends and talents and some brand new accessories, including a few from our Wildflower Collection.
Cannot wait to see the final edits.

This weekend I had the pleasure of handcrafting our beautiful emerald green Katherine fascinator for a local client. This is only a quick snapshot of the many steps that go into making this headpiece which is completely made from scratch.
From blocking 5 layers of fabric, to cutting and pressing silk flower petals, to trimming it with feathers and finally making the veil. creating this piece really is a beautiful moment in time (or about 10 hours) and I enjoyed every second.

Wildflower. Our 2023 bridal collection couldn't have been possible without my incredible team and the support of those that are nearest and dearest (you know who you are). Thank you for always being there, thank you for holding up, talking me down and being my people. I love you all.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this collection. It takes a village.

Just another quick sneak peek of just a few of the almost 200 pieces that will be part of our sample sale next Tuesday!!
Holiday Sample Sale!
Our famous (!?) Sample Sale is happening this Sunday Dec 5 at 8pm EST right here on our page!
We went a little nuts (and stir crazy) during lockdowns and created wayyyy to many pieces for our 2022 collection. Some of these pieces didn't make the cut, but they are still fabulous and we want to share them with you!
We have over 160pcs in our sample sale with some never before seen designs as well as some well loved favourites that are being discontinued. We also have some brand new production pieces that were cancelled orders or returns and they are absolutely beautiful!
Check back here this weekend for more sneak peeks and updates on the big sale!
I am extremely excited to unveil this new secret project that I've been so fortunate to be a part of, in one week's time!
But until then, here is a little teaser...
Stay tuned!
