Event Headwear - professional hand-made hats and fascinators
My name is Georgina Macauley I am a professional creative milliner. I studied at Huddersfield Technical College for 3 years and have qualified in millinery and art with the city of guilds in courses 1,2 & 3. I believe that I am passionate about what I do and proud of my work.
I can provide a wide range of styles as I like to create a hat / fascinator that suits the person that is going to wear it. Although I do have two styles that I like to follow, you as the client may have your own ideas about your creation which I would interpret for you individually.
1. Modern / Sharp look hats and fascinators
For this look I use distorted feathers that are stripped, or burnt quills. Fascinator size may vary but you will always look striking, bold & beautiful. These fascinators are popular for events such as the races.
2. Romantic / Vintage / Delicate look hats and fascinators
To achieve this look I use millinery materials such as silk & organza flowers, feather flowers, veiling, soft netting, lace, headbands, slides and soft feathers. These fascinators are suitable for events such as weddings, christenings etc...
3. More headwear creations
I also create fascinators for brides who want an alternative headdress for their wedding day using feathers, wirework, swarovski crystals & pearls. I also design similar head pieces for bridesmades as a collection.
