Some of the headpieces in the little teal corner of my studio. All handmade by me ❤️

From the back:

* Seed bead, bugle, glass and copper taira
* Seed bead, copper and lace tiara

I'm currently working on two pieces using some of the lace from this very special 50 year old wedding dress.

It's an amazing process, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

I'll post a picture of the pieces I made after the wedding ❤️

Teal is one of my favourite colours, and I now have a little teal corner in my studio with teal hats, headpieces and tiaras.

Everything completely handmade by me ❤️

Lovely delicate rhinestone leaf comb ❤️

Silver-tone metal and clear, sparkling rhinestones - a touch of vintage style.

I always love seeing images of brides on their big day.

We chat so much about dresses and hair when we first meet, and I spend a lot of time visualising, imagining and looking at details, but it's always a joy to see how everything has come together.

This is beautiful Gioia Mia bride Jillian, her hairstylist adding the final touches.

You can see Jillian's headpiece in more detail here: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=901920981951209&set=a.10151674795388706

Jillian's headpiece. Silver and copper-tone metal; sparkling clear rhinestones; Swarovski crystals in the softest vintage shades; and Swarovski pearls in a beautiful tonal colour. This was a gorgeous combination of colours and materials

'I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing work you did with helping bring my ideas to life. My headpiece was stunning.

The bridesmaid pins were beautiful. My mums fascinator was amazing.

Everything you created was perfection 😍

Thank you ❤️'

What a gorgeous shot!

Beautiful Gioia Mia bride Jillian has been married exactly one week ❤️

I'll post some pictures of the headband I made for her next week but in the meatime, happy weekend everyone - and happy one week anniversary Jillian!

Something small can still make a big impact ❤️

Jane was very petite and didn't feel comfortable in a larger headpiece, so she chose a small button as her base.

We picked out the colours from her amazing dress (ivory, pale blue and gold) and decided to use those in her headpiece. The natural-coloured sinamay adds a modern touch to a classic colour combination.

Jane's dress had blue and gold flowers on it, and she knew that she wanted a flower and some gold feathers included in her design. I added some sinamay curls for a bit of drama (she was the mother of the bride after all!) and a splash of pale blue millinery veiling for a bit of lightness.

'Thank you Sonia, my mums Fascinator was prefect. The quality of the materials and the love and passion to design such amazing work shone through 🥰❤️'

15/07/2024

Like lots of wild flowers in your hair ❤️

Jillian had picked a beautiful mid-tone blue as one of her wedding colours. She wanted her bridesmaid's hairpins to be only this colour, so I had a little fun playing with different finishes and textures: smooth and faceted; transparent, opaque and matt.

Each of the three hairpins are exactly the same, but I love the effect they give all together: like lots of wild meadow flowers on a summer's day.

I love making hats ❤️

Did you know I'm also a qualified milliner?

I really loved everything about my course. It was so exciting to learn new skills and to learn how to work with new materials as well.

I also went to London for a couple of weeks and took part in some really fabulous millinery workshops.

I'm really proud to have learnt from such inspiring, talented and warm-hearted people.

One of my favourite childhood memories is wearing some of my gran's beautiful 1930s and 1940s hats (she was very stylish and like a film star). And I'd wear her jewellery as well, all at the same time: all the rings, necklaces, bracelets and bangles I could get my little hands on.

So here I am, decades later, making hats and sparkly things...

New studio sample for brides to try on ❤️

Copper headband made with hand-coloured lace leaves, copper leaves, Swarovski pearls, rhinestone and glass.

More than a little in love with these colours!

13/06/2024

Something a little bit different from me...

Sam described her wedding vibe as 'dramatic fairy'. She knew that she wanted something for the back of her head that also draped down and added a little movement. Her colours were a cool sage green and silver.

Sam picked out some leaves that fitted with the woodland/boho feel of her wedding, some beautiful pale green silk, and some silver and pale green Swarovski crystals.

I dyed some cotton organza a pale green to tone in with the silk, and added some silver to those leaves to create a little contrast.

And here is Sam's beautiful comb: handmade leaves made from silk, hand dyed and finished cotton organza; Swarovski crystals ❤️

30/05/2024

Here's a closeup of part of the headband I've shared previously.

Beautiful roses in different shades of soft pink; green velvet leaves; Swarovski pearls in a range of delicate, vintage tones; and Swarovski crystals of different shapes and sizes in silver.

You can see the full headband here: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159958951638706&set=a.10151674795388706

I loved working with this combination of colours, and the final effect was gorgeous - so light and fresh ❤️

19/05/2024

Beautiful vintage rhinestones set in gold tone-metal, hand-coloured lace leaves and Swarovski pearls. What a gorgeous combination ❤️

I've got a bit of an obsession with gold at the moment.

And I absolutely love the colours on this too - not just the gold! ❤️

13/05/2024

And here are two of those lovely gold feathers in postition, in the headpiece I made - all hand blocked and hand stitched.

I've really loved working with this colour scheme, it feels so fresh and light ❤

08/05/2024

Love this effect so much!

I made some beautiful gold feathers for a mother of the bride headpiece. They tie in with the fabric on her dress ❤️

Another absolutely gorgeous image of Gioia Mia bride Alanah ❤️

Alanah's comb was a very classic, understated design of clear rhinestones and white Swarovski pearls.

'My gorgeous hair clip on my wedding day. Thank you for making it, I got so many compliments. We had the most amazing day. Thanks again. One happy bride.'

You can see a close up of it here: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=715612280582081&set=a.10151674795388706

...and here's a photograph of the completed headband!

Each one of those little seed beads are added by hand (by me), so this took a while to make.

You could wear this as a headband, or across the back of your head - it's very versatile.

If you'd like to try it on, or have a chat about your own colours of seed beads, pearls and crystals, send me a message ❤️

22/04/2024

Love these little seed beads flowers and leaves. And these colours and metals are gorgeous together!

It's part of a sample headband that's now in my studio for brides to try on ❤️

I'm back in my little studio after an amazing break in Italy ❤️

I was lucky to visit a couple of fantastic museums: the Museo Ferragamo, and the Museo della Moda e del Costume in Palazzo Pitti.

There's nothing more inspiring than being able to see handmade pieces, made with beautiful materials and made to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

I'm currently working with gold at the moment!
