Jan Overton from Get Ahead Hats, Stalham near Norwich, had a wedding of her own to attend recently. Her son, Will got married to Robyn on 24th July, and held the reception at the family farm.

Jan had a hat made by Vivien Sheriff escpecially for the occasion, and it went perfectly with her outfit, with a handbag by Artico to match. Robyn's Mum, on the right in the picture, wore a Richard Designs percher, also made to match her outfit. Both ladies looked fabulous and had a wonderful day. Best wishes to Will and Robyn for the future.

Okapi a big success

Pictured in Pam Cockerill who knew just where to go when she needed a hat for her daughters wedding. Pam visited Sam Abbey's York showroom, and with advice from Sam, chose to have an Okapi exclusively made by Aurora for Get Ahead Hats. Although Pam's outfit was not an easy colour, Aurora created the perfect match and Pam was delighted.

Short notice - no problem!

Last minute ladies are always welcome at our showrooms as one of Sue Bell's customers discovered. Jeanette Walsh visited Sue's showroom at Westhay less than a week before her daughter's wedding. Sue had the perfect hat to match Jeanette's organza jacket who was delighted with the result. After the wedding Jeanette sent Sue this lovely photograph and wrote, "very many thanks for all your help and helping to make my outfit complete - and at such short notice!"

If you would like to visit Sue's showroom please telephone 01458 839335.

A very happy customer

A very happy customer

It's always lovely to receive photographs and comments from our customers, and here is a wonderful example sent to Sharon Caton from Get Ahead Hats Saffron Walden.

"As promised attached is a photo of me in your hat at my son's wedding in the USA. It was the star of the show! Everyone seemed to comment on it. They do not do hats there so I certainly stood out! They all loved it especially my son and his bride.

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of getting it made up in the perfect colour. Putting in the dark gold feathers definitely finished it off and made it just perfect.

Thank you again for taking the time and trouble to making my outfit perfect."

If you would like to visit Sharon's showroom please telephone 01371 832025 to make an appointment.
