Last Halloween, Mr. Sew and I had a party in which we donned some steampunk costumes.
My favorite part of the costume (other than swishing around in my bustled wedding dress skirt!) was the pillbox hat. I followed this video on Threadbangers to get the basic shape:
Now, that got me thinking, how cool would it be to have a bridal pillbox hat, too? Maybe not for the ceremony or anything, but just for fun? I could easily use leftover scraps from my dress, and they are just so fun!
How gorgeous is this?
Maybe with tons of lovely feathers?

This one looks a lot like that giant statement-star we made earlier!
Anyone else wearing a hat with their wedding dress? Are you wearing it shortly just for fun, or as part of your wedding-day attire?
Love it!
One of the (veeeerry few things I know for sure is that I’m doing a hat/birdcage veil combo. Exciting! But possibly my trickiest DIY to date…
ooh I loove pillbox hats! I wanted to stick my sisters in them and long gloves….but only one seemed to be on board with the idea 
I’m probably just doing a colored flower, maybe with some feathers 
So cute! And I totally see you working the photo-taking tips from your last post in the pic above. Looking good!
VERY cute. I’m planning to wear a white mini-top hat with royal blue ribbons and embellishments during the reception for our New Year’s Eve wedding (I’ll be wearing a veil for the ceremony).
those are adorable! yours is clearly the best, by the way.
Those hats are so fun looking! You should totally rock one on your wedding day!
The feathers would be fun!
As a side note, that paper lantern is awesome!
I’m not doing a hat, but I’d love to see a real bride who is! The first example you posted is cute!
