Hats off with Katherine Elizabeth Millinery

I have a simple dress and would love to make an impact with a headpiece. What trends should I look out for?

As we've all been wearing comfortable and functional clothing throughout the pandemic, when weddings return, glamour will be coming back in a big way! Brides will want to be seen, have fun and dress up. The fact you have a simple dress is perfect, as it means you can go wild with your headwear.

Another trend that is coming in is a move towards more eco-friendly options: sustainable and vegan fabrics, ethically sourced feathers, recycled elements and vintage pieces. Consumers don't want to throw things away anymore, instead making choices with the environment, nature and waste reduction in mind. I love using vintage fabrics from family members. We've all come to realise how important and precious family is, and this is a great way to celebrate that.

It's a great investment to buy something bespoke and handmade from a designer, rather than off-the-peg. This means you will have a unique and special piece to treasure forever.
