"Award-winning millinery that preps you to be papped."

It’s easy to grab attention. Wear a neon leotard. Attach bells to your bag. But Elise Gustilo is in the business of making sure you stand out for the right reasons, operating out of Central London.

Serving brides who are seeking something different, Elise specialises in crafting elegant sculptural headwear and understands that standing out takes more than having the biggest brim or feather.

So whether you’re looking for a sparkle of delicate hairpins or a grand showstopper hat, Elise has got you covered. Wearing a veil? How about topping it off with a romantic headband of your favourite flowers? And why stop at one look? Double it up for your second-evening reveal.

Combining craftsmanship with sensitivity, Elise will help you achieve your bridal goals and find the silhouettes to complement your face shape and the hero colours to make you shine.

Unsure about headwear styles? She’ll guide you. Not already wedded to a colour palette? You can pick one together.

A master at incorporating sentimental embellishments, Elise can craft a truly personal headpiece to treasure. Remember the cherry bacon doughnut you shared on your first date? Or the lavender you brought home after your anniversary weekend together? Work with Elise to hide a meaningful easter egg in your headwear - a secret message shared just between you and your loved one on your special day.

Elise has worked in the heights of couture fashion and trained with the legendary Rose Cory - Royal Warrant holder to the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. So you can be assured that every Elise Gustilo headpiece will be executed with the utmost attention to detail, leaving you to focus on what’s important - looking incredible!
