Just doing what I love ...
I previously worked making costumes for the film industry, and through that I was able to work with many beautiful antique dresses and accessories. This has been very influential on my work. I've also studied fine art, and painting has been an important influence as well.
I took a break when my children were small, and as they grew I started to develop my range of hats, headpieces and veils, and my business also started to grow. My husband Paul now helps me and uses his skills with metalwork to produce the tiaras and combs I design.
I'm now lucky enough to do something I really enjoy and fit it around my family life.
I consider what I do to be quite different from whats on offer from the more mainstream bridal fashion, and I do everything myself, from answering customer questions to packing the orders and going to the Post office, so this is a small and personal family business
I really love it when I see my pieces being worn by customers and they style things in their own,very individual way.

I am active on Instagram, and there you can see lots of extra pictures , including 'behind the scenes and photos from real weddings an styled photo shoots featuring my pieces. You can find me there at @agnes_hart
I am always thrilled when a bride sends along a picture and I have an album on my shop Facebook Page so others can be inspired by their different styles of wearing my veils and headpieces.
'LIKE' my Facebook page to see lots of beautiful 'Real Brides'.
I have now moved into a small communal studio in London,and everything in my little shop is designed and carefully made there only by me. (Except for my metal pieces which are designed by me and assembled and wired carefully by my husband ).This does mean that I can get very,very busy and sometimes (during 'peak wedding season' times like spring) I occasionally have to close to new orders until I've caught up!
Do bear this in mind if you are considering placing an order,(and of course,its always good to allow as much time as possible before your wedding.)
Best Wishes
