Bride To Be
Bridal Headpieces
Each handcrafted Bridal headpiece I have designed tells a story and I love to see the photos from all of the Brides who have worn my headpieces and made them theirs on their wedding day. It is so rewarding to have played a small part in their memories of a special time in their lives. Brides have told me they have kept my handcrafted headpieces as heirlooms which they hope to pass on in the family.
But what is my secret? How do I help a Bride to choose the right Bridal headpiece? How do I design and make something that she’ll love to wear, will make her feel fabulous and look out of this world in her photos?
IT STARTS WITH YOU
Are you a bride who wants to look classic and timeless on your wedding day or maybe you really relate to the boho style. Or you might be the type that wants to stand out and be unique.
Defining what type of bride you are will help you understand what headpiece will portray the right look for you.
An Appointment with Ailish
I always enjoy meeting my Brides To Be in my studio in East Clare where a warm and friendly welcome awaits. This first appointment is a crucial part of the design process. It gives me the opportunity to study in detail the wedding outfit my Bride To Be has chosen which is already likely to be a reflection of their own personal style.

My Bespoke Bridal Design Process
I will consider the color and shades of the dress, the materials, embellishments and fabric that make a big difference – (like silk shantung, taffeta, guipure lace, delicate floral lace or tulle), and silhouette – (does it have an open back or special sleeves). And other characteristics of the dress, such as; is it a clean – simple dress or is it an elaborate busy gown. All these characteristics will help me understand what are the headpieces you should be looking at.
The personality of my Bride, the silhouette of the dress, the fabric and the planned hairstyle… I will take all of this into account when sourcing materials and before sitting down to begin the creation process.
The headpiece provides the link between your dream wedding outfit and you and it needs to enhance and compliment you as well as your dress ensuring you look elegant and beautiful on your special day.
Wedding Atmosphere and Location
I have handcrafted Bridal headpieces to suit every style. From rustic barn weddings to beach destination ceremonies; country house elegance to chic hotel events… I have designed for every type of celebration. My job is to create a bridal headpiece that will suit your personal style and will look absolutely jaw-dropping on your big day.
Of course the general theme and atmosphere of the event you’re planning can also help you choose your wedding headpiece. Consider your venue; is it out door country style or garden party (choose maybe something romantic), or maybe more of an evening ball party (choose something fancy or blingy). Select a headpiece that is coherent with the mood you are setting. Perhaps you’re on a fun exotic destination wedding and you’d like a beautiful floral piece that will match the scene!
