This July I was tasked with organising a traditional English wedding for my son and his Japanese wife in just 6 weeks. I needed a hat for myself and one for the mother of the bride who was only to arrive in England 2 days before the wedding. She has never worn a hat before as this is not a custom in Japan but was adamant and excited that she wanted one. I didn't know where to start but Vanessa came to my rescue. During an extremely professional yet non threatening consultation Vanessa was able to put me at my ease and suggest the best options, despite not being able to meet the mother if the bride in advance. I was able to look at and try on a fabulous range of hats and fascinators myself and her suggestions were perfect.

My outfit was gold and she showed me how to add a splash of colour to brighten the whole outfit and even matched it with a beautiful hand made corsage which made the outfit. I have 2 more forthcoming weddings and Vanessa will be able to change the colour of the embellishments in order that I can wear the hat again with different outfits making it extremely good value for money. As for the mother if the bride, she literally squeaked with delight when she was presented with a beautiful piece that exactly matched her outfit. She couldn't wait to put it on and it made her day.

Vanessa's creativity and flair, as well as her personable and professional approach made the whole process easy and the hats she makes by hand are of exceptional quality and value for money.  I would recommend her to anyone
