Victorian Hats for Civil War Period Weddings

A U.S. Civil War period wedding, generally speaking, is a much simpler affair that the weddings that we have today.  This particular period of wedding is usually held at a Civil War reenactment or a place that's noted for its historical importance (especially to the couple who are getting married). 

 This Civil War period wedding took place at Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, August of 2016.

In this case, the bride, who's a reenactor wanted her wedding hat to be versatile, so I made the veil detachable and now she can wear her wedding hat that matches her dress for any reenactment.

East Angel Harbor Hats will be happy to design a hat for your wedding too!

Kentucky Derby Hat - Spirit of Barbaro - Week 2

A hat that measures up to it's name! 

I enjoy the Edwardian style, so I design a lot of my hats with that era in mind.

Spirit of Barbaro is dedicated to Barbaro, who was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who decisively won the 2006 Kentucky Derby,

but shattered his leg two weeks later in the 2006 Preakness Stakes, which ended his racing career and eventually led to his death. - Wikipedia
