Selection of bridal millinery images

The inaugural event at the stunningly renovated Assembly Rooms on Fenkle Street, Newcastle On Saturday and Sunday 27th and 28th April, will be a spectacular wedding fair.

I am delighted to have been asked as one of the Assembly Rooms’ preferred suppliers, to be part of this very first event and will be their resident milliner for the weekend. I am looking forward to talking to the Assembly Room visitors about their millinery plans. At the event, I will be showing a selection of wedding headpieces as well as headwear suitable for Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom. Hope to see you there!
