Written by the company

Open by appointment at my Rose Garden Studio in Winchester, Hampshire, I design and hand-make bespoke and ready-to-wear wedding hats and fascinators for Mothers of the Bride, Mothers of the Groom and elegant wedding guests. My opening hours are flexible, so I can usually arrange a fitting at a time that suits your plans for the big day. Over the years, many clients have kindly left 5-star reviews on Google, Facebook, Yell and Trustpilot, often commenting on my calm, friendly manner and the care I take with every detail. They value the reassurance of a personal, made-to-measure service and the pleasure of wearing a hat created especially for their daughter’s or son’s wedding, Royal Ascot or special occasion. On my website, you can see a wide selection of designs, including large picture hats, graceful saucer hats, perching styles, pillbox hats, cocktail hats and wedding fascinators. During your appointment, you can try on a variety of samples while we look closely at your outfit, shoes and accessories. I work with extensive colour charts and thousands of possible shade combinations, blending tones so that the hat I create for you is completely individual, beautifully balanced and coordinates perfectly with your special occasion outfit.

Simon is so much more than an expert milliner…

Simon is so much more than an expert milliner - he's a thoughtful and kind fashion advisor, encyclopedic source of fabulous designers and a great confidence booster when you're doubting yourself. He helped talk me through all aspects of my outfit for my Big Day as well as making the perfect hat to match my outfit. I can't recommend him highly enough - you will be in the very safest of hands.

I loved the whole experience of meeting simon to discuss my hat for my daughter’s wedding. It was great fun and so easy to decide with Simon’s guidance. The hat was a roaring success and I loved wearing it feeling comfortable, glamorous and confident.

Thank you so much for your very kind words! I’m thrilled that your hat was received so successfully, and to hear how special it made you feel on the day.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Wow, how special!

I just had to buy another headpiece from Marvellous Millinery for my Goddaughter's wedding in Upwey in Dorset. It goes without saying that yet again Simon created a masterpiece!
After lengthy discussions about colour and style and the possibility of adding some of my pearls from Egypt and Turkey, Simon came up with something which exceeded my expectations.
His headpieces really do make you feel special; it was much admired and I look forward to wearing it again at another wedding in August. 🤩🤩

I’m so pleased that the new addition to your millinery wardrobe received such positive reactions for you, and I’m thrilled to hear it will enjoy another outing later in the summer. It has always been such a pleasure to design headpieces for you, long may it continue!

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough. As a millinery novice about to under chemo I was daunted by the task of choosing my Mother of the Bride hat. Simon was wonderful. He guided me through the whole creative process with such brilliant insight into what would work for me and what wouldn’t. The hat that emerged is beautiful and has received so many compliments. I cannot thank Simon enough for his contribution in making my daughter’s wedding an even more special occasion for me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartwarming review. I’m so pleased to hear that you received all those compliments on such a significant family day. Sending you many congratulations, and wishing all the very best for the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Spectacular hats!

Simon made me the most beautiful and bespoke hat for my daughter’s wedding in Tuscany. I could not have been more thrilled with it and certainly felt like the most glamorous Mother of the Bride which I will never forget. I received so, so many compliments on the day as everyone said it was the most gorgeous and unique hat!
Simon is so friendly and super helpful. I wasn’t sure what I wanted but he was just brilliant with his suggestions and I could not have been more happy with the finished hat! He also provided me with a special ‘hand luggage’ hat box and made sure it was safely packaged for its trip to Italy! In summary, I felt a million dollars as the Mother of the Bride so thank you so much Simon!

Mother of the Groom bespoke hat

Simon really is the most intuitive and talented milliner. I visited his studio and changed into the actual outfit I was going to wear for my son’s wedding. Simon was able to curate the hat to suit the outfit perfectly!
Commissioning a hat from Simon is an absolute must! Thank you 🙏

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough…

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough - he made me the most wonderful hat to compliment the outfit I wore for my son’s wedding. His design, but particularly his idea on the colouring for the hat, were completely spot on. He quoted me a reasonable period of time for making the hat and then completed it two weeks earlier than quoted. Additionally it was a marvellous price for a ‘marvellous millinery’ creation. Simon is friendly, professional, attentive and gifted. I could go on with my superlatives but would rather suggest that you contact him if you are looking for the perfect hat

Simon - Simply the Best

Today, I have collected the most beautiful fascinator and jewellery from Simon at Marvellous Millinery.
I am absolutely thrilled to bits with the bespoke arrangement that complements my hair style and outfit.
Simon has perfectly matched the colour of my outfit and accessories to the fascinator. With added crystals and pearls the effect is a real wow!
I cannot speak highly enough of the perfection that Simon sets himself and the finished results are exquisite.
Thank you, Simon for your happy and helpful disposition. I shall be so proud to wear these beautiful pieces at the wedding of my son.

Simon at Marvellous Millinery designed my hat for my daughters wedding

Simon at Marvellous Millinery designed my hat to wear to my daughters wedding on September 15th. I cannot say how much fun is was visiting his design studio and trying on so many fabulous creations ! After nearly 90 minutes I had decided on the style, colour etc. When I went to collect Simon’s creation I cannot express how delighted I was with the final result. I rarely (if ever) wear hats but he created something so perfect for me I cannot wait for an occasion to wear it again! I also left with a very cute and fun fascinator to wear in the evening !
Please do not hesitate to go and see him - 2 things for sure 1) you will have so much fun 2) He will create something wonderful for you
Thank you Simon 🙏

Having purchased my hat

Having purchased my hat, a joyous experience, I initially trotted off to Epsom Races. Simon actually remembered I also had another occasion when I would be able to wear my beautiful hat again. If you want to feel fabulous with confidence a hat from Marvellous Millinery is definitely for you!

Even if you haven’t got a date in your diary, it’s worth choosing your favourite frock and making an appointment to see Simon.
He is absolutely delightful and the time we spent choosing a hat was so special.
Right from the prompt response to my query, to the time spent considering all the options and I came away with the most perfect hat.
I was so grateful for his opinion and advice.
He is superbly talented and has an array of the most beautiful hats on show.

Simon is a magician ….

Simon created the most exquisite hat for my mother of bride outfit in only a matter of weeks. I was thrilled with it particularly as Simon had to conjure up my hat from a photo as my outfit hadn’t arrived and it was very late in the day… he only had my vision to go by and of course his expert guidance, he’s a magician, just fabulous and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, thank you Simon, you’re a complete star ⭐️

Wonderful hat and fascinator!

Thank you for the wonderful journey you gave mum whilst creating a stunning hat!

Mum looked gorgeous on our wedding day, and the matching fascinator for the wedding breakfast was a wonderful touch! Given how much she talked about the hat in the run up to the wedding, It was wonderful to see her finally wearing it!

A pleasant experience

Simon was such a nice Gentleman to do business with, from my initial telephone conversation to finally collecting my hat, incidentally earlier than arranged He was friendly and professional throughout the process. He guided me towards the best hat for my outfit. He even suggested I bring along my wedding dress to help decided on the hat style to compliment my dress. I was extremely grateful for his expert opinion and knowledge. I recommend Simon without hesitation.

Beautiful hat provided at very short notice

I asked Simon, at very short notice, to make a hat to match my outfit for a wedding in Scotland. Despite the tight schedule, Simon reviewed photos of my dress and provided sound advice on the shape, style and colour to best compliment the dress. The result was a beautiful hat that was perfect in every way. Thank you so much, Simon. You are wonderful and I will be back.
