Pasquale Vaira photograper & friend As a milliner I have many photographers who shoot my work and they soon become friends. It is probably the case that artists/creatives are naturally attracted to each other. Pasquale sees the world in a very artistic way. Through his photographs his personality shines through as does his passion for those images which shows an interest for vitality of life. I thoroughly enjoy working with him and would recommend him for photo shoots from weddings to fashion, from fly-on-the-wall to fun shoots where a group of creatives have been brought together. I suggest if you are looking for a photographer with a lot of character in his or her photos take a look at Pasquale's websites, www.pazvaira.com  and www.vaira-weddings.co.uk

Bespoke Hats for Hire Now the Near Year is well under way we are blocking, designing and creating a selection of hats, cocktail hats, pillboxes and fascinators for hire, they will be for sale too if they haven't been worn. There have been so many enquiries about hiring our hats in the past asked so many times in the past and, after my business head finally woke up, we all agreed this would be a great idea. We have already had enquiries which has been very interesting as I have only advertised on social media. Perhaps a new website will have to be designed. As a milliner I am able to offer a service where no one else will wear the hat you have hired, we also will  customise a little, perhaps another colour to match an outfit in the decoration. Once our catalogue is ready clients will be able to order online. We have so many ideas and so much work to do. Bespoke hats made to order will still be available, www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk

Top Hats for those who love Steampunk! This year we have been working on some new Steampunk designs to feature on my daughter's new hat shop website www.arcadehatters.co.uk/steam With Christmas approaching, if you know someone who loves Steampunk, and you are looking for a gift that is a little bit different, come check out our hats, or even order one in your perfect size, colour, and accessory combination. If you would like to order one for Christmas please let us know as soon as possible. We have had a lot of fun creating these designs, all of which have hand stitched decorations, and all of which are bespoke one-off pieces. They are available to buy from the website or in our shop in Reading, Berkshire. All our Steampunk top hats come with it's own carry case and a pair of Steampunk goggles to accessorise your hat.

All our hats are made for clients, we design according to their needs, choosing the right colour, hat shape and style of decoration but from early Spring onwards the shop is filled with our sample hats, it is these with a few extra we are going to offer for hiring. At the moment we are working very hard in our small workshop creating new designs for Spring/Summer next year. As soon as they are complete we will be placing them on a new website and also on our current website:  www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk  .
