Absolutely Fabulous Bridal Headwear

HT Headwear was created by British designer, Helena Talbot whilst on maternity leave with her first child in 2010. After leaving the world of luxury sales, Helena decided to return to her creative roots and put her degree and millinery courses to good use!

For her own wedding Helena struggled to find something she loved without paying a fortune, that didn’t compromise on style or quality.  So after the success of creating her own Bridal headwear and her Bridal party’s headwear, she set about creating a brand that would provide this service for girls like herself.
Since the launch of HT Headwear in 2010, the brand has become synonymous with style, quality and personal service at an affordable price. As well as private clients and online sales, HT Headwear is now available to buy in select stockists across the World.
All materials are sourced from British suppliers and all pieces handmade by Helena herself.

I have always had a penchant for feathers which is why these head pieces from HT Headwear caught my eye...

Created by British designer Helena Talbot after realising, for her Wedding, that it was so hard to find a head piece that didn't break the bank, HT Headwear is a brand that achieves exactly that... fantastic style and quality with prices starting from just £75 (which I think is great for a one off handmade work of art).

If you are looking to style yourself in the 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s eras it is definitely worth a peek on their website too.

I also love the fact that all of Helena's pieces are hand made by herself using materials sourced from British suppliers.

A Very Special English Country Wedding

Set in the heart of the beautiful English Countryside this Wedding has a very special place in my heart.  It is the Wedding of my little brother and his gorgeous new wife Becky.  From start to finish every single little detail was considered making the entire day very personal, both to the bride and groom and to their families.  The Wedding reception was held at the Bride's childhood home with the ceremony in the village church, just a short walk across the road... an absolutely perfect fairytale Wedding.

The Wedding itself was very traditional and romantic but the groom was keen to mix some madness into the day. You can see this in the choice of wedding vehicle above!

The marquee was decorated in pinks and purples and Becky bought hundreds of paper lanterns to attach to the ceiling of the marquee. On each of the place settings she placed a scented fan for the ladies and a cigar for the men. Small bags of her favourite sweets (flying saucers) were also placed at each of the settings.

A 'chill out' tent was created, a very popular area in the evening for guests to be able to take a break from the dancing.

One of the bridesmaids did the most amazing fire performance and absolutely stunned all of the guests.

Becky's Three Top Tips:

1. Make sure your photo session is really organised and timing is kept to a minimum. The photos part can easily take over an hour if you're not careful and you'll miss out on spending time with your guests and enjoying the atmosphere
2. Try and get someone to be a point person for all your suppliers on the day, otherwise you the bride or your mother will probably get landed with any issues which can really detract from the day if you have to run around sorting out silly things like champagne for the toasts
3. Keep the formalities as relaxed as you can. It's really great to cram the tradition in there but the more formal and rigid you make your day the less enjoyable it is for your guests. Just keep it flowing and there will be no chance for anyone to get bored!
