I love flamingos! I love them as mica sparkly swizzle sticks upright in a highball, as kitsch 1957 lawn ornaments and as talking croquet mallets in Wonderland.
Hell’s bells, I even like John Waters cult classic “Pink Flamingos”. These lovely birds receive the full Wizard of Oz treatment at Atelier Lil Jen. Nestled in organza dahlias and encrusted with peach glitter, false eyelashes, crystal necklaces, lace capes and enough ostrich feather to kit out a Crazy Horse show gal, you’ll fill your dance card super fast with these pretties perched atop your silky locks.

This gorgeous image appears in the current Spring edition of Cosmopolitan Bride. Shot in an artist’s studio these tulle and satin clad giggling Gerties are posing with glittered ivory ship hat “Alma” and the butterfly, blossom and jade bejewelled  extravaganza “Chinoiserie Cherry Blossom ” Confections.
As with all Lil Jen hatties these evergreen styles can be customised with your own bridal fabric.
