5 out of 5 starsThis veil is everything I hoped for. Communication was great. I asked for the veil to be a certain length and it was done. I can’t wait to wear it. I feel so wonderful wearing it.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful piece, not necessarily a super sturdy piece but that wasn’t what I was expecting. Beautifully crafted all the same!

5 out of 5 starsLOVED my flower crown for our tiny covid ceremony in a backyard. It looked so good with the bouquet and was just enough for our effortless-looking event that celebrated simplicity in the garden.
Great shop that made sure I got it in time.

I created Gardens of Whimsy in 2009 and through the years have handcrafted thousands of timeless hair adornments.
My designs are inspired by the wildness of nature and the aesthetic of bygone eras. I use the finest silk florals and vintage supply to create each piece with care for detail and craftsmanship.
Most of my creations are worn during important occasions, so I put my all into creating pieces that are intricate and long lasting -- that they may even become future heirlooms to pass on if you wish!
Never in my wildest dreams did I think my path would lead me to a life of designing whimsical headpieces for a living! Year after year, I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to be creative and of course to be surrounded by flowers on a daily basis.
Best wishes,
April

Shop policies
My crowns are made to fit 22" heads, but if you need a different measurement or would like a crown to be split and ribbons added just let me know and I would be happy to accommodate you free of charge!
As for combs, clips, or hair pins please note that these are adornments and work best as an addition to your hair style. They will be much more secure through your day or special event if you pin your hairstyle in place first, then adorn it with your new hair accessories.
CUSTOM ORDERS:
I love doing custom orders! Due to scheduling I only can take on a select number of custom orders each month, but please contact me with any ideas or visions you have!
If I am able to work with you on a custom piece, turn around time is usually 2 weeks.
Please take note that custom orders usually cost slightly more than my set inventory depending upon the amount of time/cost of supply need to create your order.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
I spend a great deal of time crafting each item to be as secure and long lasting as possible, so if you treat your adornments delicately they can last for generations and even become heirlooms!
Store them with care as some fabric florals can fade if left for long periods of time in direct sunlight and be sure to hang your veil someplace safe to avoid creasing or snags. I would recommend using a garment bag to protect your veil.
Wholesale availability
If you are interested in placing a wholesale order please contact me for information on pricing, availability, and production time.
Rush Orders
Please reach out to me before making your purchase if you need an item in a hurry!
If I have the time in my schedule to rush production of your order I am happy to do so.
My standard production time is typically 3-5 business days. If you need an item made and shipped out sooner than that, there is a $15 fee for all crowns, headpieces, and veils. Priority or Express shipping will be required.
