MOTHER OF THE BRIDE OR GROOM
Rachel Skinner Millinery is a go-to whenever the Mother of a Bride or Groom is looking for the perfect hat to wear on this special day. Rachel’s jewel box of a boutique, formerly found in London’s Primrose Hill and now located in the Sussex Market Town of Lewes, has been catering to a loyal and vibrant clientele of bridal families for over 25 years.
Rachel understands the stress of weddings, having designed hundreds of bespoke wedding hats. The RSM Bespoke Wedding Millinery Service is a finely tuned process, perfected over many years. Customers are invited to a private personal consultation, which can also be conducted virtually for those unable to reach the boutique in person. An expert at designing pieces that compliment a customers face shape, hair style, and wedding outfit, enhancing their confidence, Rachel also never fails to consider the practicalities of the big day:
BESPOKE MILLINERY - HOW IT WORKS
Customers are welcome to bring a friend or family member with them to their design consultation. Following the consultation, a fitting will be scheduled.
There is usually a space of between four and six weeks from the Design Consultation to the Fitting. This time is essential because Rachel is a traditionally trained professional milliner. She uses intricate millinery techniques taught to her by Sir Frederick Fox - Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved ‘hatter’ in whose salon Rachel received her apprenticeship. Rachel honors traditional methods of millinery craft and is an advocate of preserving traditional techniques, part of her mission as co-founder of the British Hat Guild.
Every Rachel Skinner Bespoke Bridal Millinery design is hand blocked, shaped and sewn. Pieces can be optically dyed in custom colors to suit your outfit, and enhanced with individually cut, colored, shaped and sewn silk petals and adornments, and custom finishes such as hand manicured and dyed feathering, individually embroidered crystal and pearl beads or vintage brooches..
