Marie took my mother's wedding dress from the late 80's and turned it into a stunning veil for my wedding day. She explained every step of the process, and treated my mother's dress with such care and respect. You can tell by speaking with her that Marie has such a passion for her craft. Her ability to turn vintage heirlooms into modern pieces, while still respecting the original work, is magnificent. Would highly recommend to any bride interested in incorporating antique or vintage pieces into their wedding day.

Marie's talent, attention to detail, and quality of work is absolutely unmatched. When first meeting Marie I had a few ideas, but no real vision of what I was looking for to use some pieces from my mother's wedding dress and veil. Marie used her creativity to make my few ideas become a reality. Having the stones from my mother's headpiece included in my hair pins and earrings was exactly what I was looking for to honor my mother on my wedding day. They were stunning and the perfect statement pieces. What makes me even happier is that I have worn my earrings on several occasions since and they were a standout on our honeymoon. Marie was also so accommodating when I went back to her months later wanting to style a hairpin for my mother to surprise her with on our wedding day. As you would guess, another gorgeous piece was made and it also included stones from my mother's own hair piece, making it even more special and sentimental. Marie, we cannot thank you enough for making our vintage, timeless pieces that we will treasure forever.

From the moment I walked into the shop, I felt I had a special connection with Marie. She was warm, welcoming, and you could tell she does this because she loves it. My mother passed away recently, and Marie remade her Headpiece for me to wear on my wedding day. Beautiful is an understatement. It was breathtaking, and far exceeded my expectations. It was truly a pleasure to trust and work with Marie on something so special and important to me. I would highly recommend working with her, as it is evident that with each original piece she makes & repurposes, she does so with her heart.

I inherited a wax flower crown from my grandmother that I wanted to incorporate into my October 2023 wedding. I found Marie through a Google search and she was the only person I found that was semi-local (2.5 hours away from Philadelphia) and was knowledgeable about antique wedding pieces. When I reached out, she was very responsive and quickly setup a consultation call to discuss my wishes. Upon sending pictures, she immediately knew what kind of material my crown was made of and had a vision about how it could be re-designed. I met her in her studio, and she was so sweet and had extensive knowledge about wedding pieces of the time. She was so diligent about how to re-image my heirloom and it turned out beautifully. She also made me a custom veil which matched my dress. My crown was made into hairpins with added pearls and crystals that matched my aesthetic while remaining true to the original design of the wax flowers. She was also able to retain most of the crown, so it can remain in its original form. Marie is very passionate about her work and it shows in her craftsmanship and attention to detail. I am very pleased with the way my pieces turned out, and I can even wear them as hairpins for other special occasions. Overall, a really great way to have "something old" while maintaining the beauty and originality of a family piece.

Marie truly made my dream a reality by restoring and restyling my mom’s headpiece. I worked with Marie virtually over FaceTime and email. Marie did an excellent job explaining her process and providing example pieces to help with visualizing my final piece. We worked together to decide on the fine details of the final outcome. Marie is attentive, caring, and incredibly creative. Marie reconstructed my headpiece into three separate pieces so that I can easily rewear my headpiece without needing to wear the entire piece all together. Now I have an accessory that I can continue to wear from my wedding to other events. I highly recommend working with Marie for your wedding accessories as she is truly the subject expert in vintage restyling.

I had the pleasure of working with Marie for my recent wedding and couldn't be happier with the experience! She restored pieces of my moms 1991 wedding headpiece and added it to a modern day piece. I wanted a mixture of modern/vintage and Marie achieved that in my headpiece. She is very passionate in what she does and is friendly and professional. Thank you Marie for restoring parts of my moms headpiece and creating such a special piece that I hope to pass down one day. It truly made my wedding day so special!

I went to Marie with my mother's vintage '87 tiara, which was a two tiers and made of Swarovski crystals, but a little dated/not my personal style as well as a bit old. She carefully listened to my preferences and was able to formulate what I was looking for exactly. She artfully transformed (created, actually, as she deconstructed it and then re-formed it) the tiara into a beautiful one tier piece, took the time to clean it meticulously...I just could not have been more pleased with the craftsmanship and the creativity. Her gorgeous work meant so much to my mother and I, and thanks to her we gave 2 heirloom pieces that I hope I can pass down one day. I also purchased my Cathedral veil from Headpiece.com, and couldn't have been more pleased with that as well.

Highly recommend for brides seeking a unique, elegant touch to their wedding ensemble.

Marie was my favorite part of the wedding planning process. She truly made me feel like a princess. She took the time to listen to my vision, and boy did she deliver!!!! Her work is the most unique and special out there. She was able to make me a headpiece and earrings out of real seaglass, cracked shell, and fresh water pearl for my beach wedding. Plus, she communicated and involved me every part of the way to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Headpiece.com!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Marie and I couldn't be happier with the results. I entrusted her with a family heirloom, my mother's wedding crown, which had been gifted to her by my great-grandmother and worn by all of my aunts. When I got married, my mom was excited for me to use it, but it needed a transformation to suit my style.
Marie's creativity and expertise were truly remarkable. She not only redesigned the headpiece to match my very vague vision but also preserved the essence of my mother's original piece while adding a modern twist. This involved disassembling it into smaller components and meticulously cleaning the pearls and crystals that had accumulated years of hairspray damage. I was amazed to see the headpiece sparkle like new. Marie even reconstructed my veil by disassembling the comb and creating multiple smaller attachment points so the veil would cascade seamlessly under the headpiece.
What touched me even more was the last-minute request I made for a surprise gift for my mom. Marie effortlessly crafted the most adorable pins for my mom's hair. Her dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of her work.
Marie's excellent communication, enthusiasm, and passion for her craft made the entire experience such a joy. I couldn't be more grateful for the special touch she added to this sentimental family heirloom and it will be cherished for many more years thanks to Marie. Thank you, Marie, for making my wedding day even more special!

If you are a bride looking for help with a hairpiece and/or a veil, look no further. Marie is the best of the best. Not only is she incredibly caring and treats all her brides like her daughters, she is one of the most talented people I have ever met.
Marie redesigned my mother's vintage 1990s headpiece and transformed it into the most beautiful heirloom. I also worked with her in picking my veil. My veil was one of my favorite things on my wedding day - it flew in the wind and was truly magical.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Marie. She restored parts of my Mom’s headpiece from 1989 into hair pins. At our first meeting, Marie examined the piece and asked what I was looking for her to create. When I described what I wanted, she had some suggestions as to what she would make, and wanted to ensure that all of my favorite elements of my Mom’s piece remained prominent in the pins. I put all of my faith into Marie - you can tell by her passion, the beautiful pieces she has displayed in her shop, and all of her reviews that she makes the most wonderful bridal accessories. I am over the moon with how my pieces turned out, and they were the perfect complement for my wedding look. Thank you Marie for restoring my Mom’s headpiece and turning it into cherished pieces that I hope to pass down some day. It was so special to wear a piece of my parent’s wedding at my own.

Marie is amazing! She made my veil for my wedding in September 2021. I loved it. It was perfect. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law and her husband were not able to join us for our wedding due to health concerns, which was pretty devastating for all of us. To make us all feel better, we decided to schedule a post-wedding photo shoot with them to recreate some of the moments we would have gotten together on our wedding day. It took quite a while to schedule this shoot, but we finally settled on April 20, 2023 as the date! As we started to prepare for the shoot, I realized that my veil was in an empty house across the country from where I live (long story!), and I had no way to get it before the shoot. I spent a few days considering my options - not wearing a veil, buying something cheap and local, etc. - and ultimately decided I didn't want to wear any other veil than what Marie had designed for my wedding day. Since the actual original veil wasn't an option, I reached out and asked if there was any way she could make me a duplicate. She responded incredibly quickly, with such a lovely and accommodating message, and said she would absolutely do it. She made and shipped it within days, packaged it with delicate care, and left thorough instructions about what to do with it when I received it. The entire process was truly a pleasure! If I ever had the opportunity to work with her again, I would take it without question. She is a wonderful professional, a skilled artist, and a kind person. Hire her for your wedding headpiece needs! You won't be disappointed.

Growing up, I lived on the same street as Marie. I always admired her headpieces and veils and knew the day I got married, I would ask her to make my special pieces. Here we are 20 years later, and it was time for my big day! Marie had gone above and beyond to create the most beautiful veil, headpiece, earrings, and pins for me. It meant so much to me that she took the time to make sure the veil matched my dress exactly, was the perfect length, and I love how the light weight of it allowed to it fly so beautifully. Due to how my hair falls, I asked Marie to add a few diamonds in my headpiece. Not only did she add them in the areas I asked for, but even added extra where she thought would suit me best. To match the headpiece, she made my gorgeous earrings, and surprised me with matching pins that my mother and sister could wear. Her thinking of an extra way for us to connect on my wedding day meant so much to me. Overall, I would give Headpiece.com 100 stars if I could! Marie truly loves what she does, cares about her brides, and it shows! Her work is nothing short of perfection.

Working with Marie at Headpiece.com was such a great experience starting from the very first email. At the first appointment, I learned so much about the different veils, fabrics, etc. and never felt rushed as I decided on what fabric and design complemented my dress best with Marie's help. The fabric I chose has just the right shimmer, clear as glass, and the way the veil lays, it doesn't take away from the details of the dress. When it was time to pick up the finished products, my finace came by and I anticipated it would be a drop in appt. However, I was blown away by the time Marie spent to let me try on the veil, thoroughly explained how and where to position so it looks best and how to care for the veil before the wedding, during and after. I am very excited to put on the dress with the veil and blusher next weekend and share pictures with Marie from our special day. PS - rumor has it that she's working on some jewelry pieces....and they're beautiful! This was truly a highlight of wedding planning and would do it all over again! Thank you, Marie, for an excellent experience creating such a beautiful custom veil and blusher!

Marie is the best. She worked with me to design the most perfect headpiece and it looked absolutely stunning with my dress. I also last minute asked her to make my sister and mom hair pins that would match my headpiece and they came out perfect! In addition to her headpieces, her veils are are the most beautiful shape and the softest around.
If you are thinking about working with her DO IT.. I’m so happy I did. Her one-of-a-kind pieces made my bridal look!

Marie with headpiece.com is downright incredible! She not only does incredible work, but she is an incredible human being. She is truly a visionary, and working with her was so easy and fun! Marie turned my moms vintage headpiece into a modern work of art. It would have been hard to trust a family heirloom with most people, but after a few phone call consultations Marie felt like a friend/family member. The headpiece she created for my wedding day was stunning and made my look so glamorous. I got so many compliments on it, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Marie is an absolute gem, and I'm so happy with the headpiece she designed for my wedding. She had designed several fabulous and unique headpieces for people I knew, including my future sister-in-law. Our first appointment was through FaceTime, which was great since I don't live in the area! Talking to Marie on Facetime was easy and comfortable; I felt an instant connection with Marie. She is truly an expert in designing headpieces, and I always trusted her during the design process. She is passionate and patient, with great attention to detail. She went above and beyond, and I would recommend her to any bride who is looking for a stunning headpiece for their big day!

As mother of the Bride I cannot speak highly enough about Marie. Working with her was the most pleasant experience throughout the entire wedding planning process. When my daughter and I walked through her door we knew that we had come to the right place. Her quaint and nostalgic shop made us feel right at home. And her passion for her work was evident throughout. At our first appointment we began discussing ideas and what my daughter had envisioned for a veil and Marie immediately knew precisely what she wanted. Having the dress in hand also made it that much easier as she was able to study the gown and create a veil that complimented the gown perfectly. And the end result was the most incredibly unique and beautifully elegant 140" veil which consisted of Marie's own French lace along with extra lace from my daughters gown. The materials that Marie uses are of the highest quality and so delicate and light that if you are lucky to have a slightly windy day like we did your veil might just fly on its own and make for amazing pictures. Marie really outdid herself and went above and beyond to make my daughter's vision come to life. To say that my daughter was extremely happy is an understatement. Marie was such a pleasure to work with and is beyond talented. Not only was she personable and warm but treated us as if we were family. She was always available for questions as busy as she was and always professional and attentive. Her passion for her work shines through in everything she does. If you are looking for a one of a kind creation then look no further than Headpiece.com. I highly recommend Marie and look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you so much Marie.

Marie restored (and really improved) a beaded, crown like, headpiece from the 1940s that my grandmother and mother wore at their weddings. The piece had lost its shape, it had been crushed at some point, lost beads, and browned. Marie remedied all of these issues, returning the crown to a like-new state, without losing any of its vintage feel. She also restructured it so that it now has a wired, instead of brittle plastic, base and so I am confident it will last for decades more. Marie is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and completely enjoyable and easy to work with. I’m so glad I found her.

Where do I begin?
Marie, or should I say my mother :), is the perfect combination of skill, passion, and vision. She nails it every time. She has designed for me since I was a young girl, whether it was school concerts, Halloween and Musical costumes, photoshoots, special events, and even my World fitness modeling competitions the past 3 years. I trust her above anyone to create something spectacular and of pristine quality. It was only natural that for my wedding day, I had complete trust in her to create something out of this world and unique to me.
Aside from my white wedding dress, everything about my wedding experience was non-traditional.
A little about the “wedding:” We had 13 guests - just parents, siblings, and grandma. We surprised our families with every detail of our intimate wedding weekend in Southern California. From the Airbnb we stayed at in Hollywood Hills, to our wedding destination on a 87’ luxury yacht in Newport Beach. Even in the limo rides to our location, our guests had no idea where we were going! :)
But more about the designs: I told Marie I didn’t want a veil. And of course, she had a better idea! “What if we created the illusion of a veil but it wasn’t a veil sitting on your head? Let’s attach it to the dress! Let’s saturate the hair with gorgeous pins”, and because my dress was so simple, she designed elegant arm jewelry to accent the simplicity of my gown. It added so much beauty to my unique, non traditional wedding look.
But amongst all the excitement, adventure and surprise, there was one constant. My mother making sure that her daughter (and last one to be married) had the most beautiful designs and accessories, made by her own two hands, on her special weekend.
With me living in California and Headpiece.com located in New Jersey, Marie and I worked on designs, fittings, and details through FaceTime meetings. The process felt seamless and stress-free. Marie is an amazing communicator and wants to make sure your masterpiece is everything that you want.
From her creativity of design, the materials used (including hand-painted Italian lace and fresh water pearl to name a few!), the time invested, the vision illustrated, and the love dedicated… I feel not only like the luckiest bride in the world, but also the luckiest daughter, too. I never fail to let my mother know how grateful I am for her and all she pours in to whom and what she loves.
For 23+ years I’ve witnessed her make her dream of Headpiece.com a reality, become a successful entrepreneur, use her own two hands to create beautiful accessories for women around the world, and help thousands of brides feel elegant and timeless on their big day.
If you ever have the opportunity to wear or own something made by Marie Hunt, consider yourself one lucky woman ♥️ there is no one else like her.
Ps. I learned a big lesson in my wedding experience that I’d love to share to future brides. Do what makes you happy. A wedding is meant to celebrate the love of you and yours and the new chapter you are about to embark on together. The process of planning your amazing wedding does not have to be stressful and chaotic. Take it one step at a time, ask for help, dream with your partner, and have fun with it. Make it what you want, regardless of what others expect of you. It’s your special day. Remember that.
Doing our wedding “our way” was the best way to do it! 10/10 recommend following your heart and 11/10 recommend going to Headpiece.com.

It was a pleasure to work with Marie! Her custom design for my daughter was stunning! Beautiful lace, remarkable attention to detail. Marie is creative, professional, attentive, and personable. She is truly an artist and takes tremendous pride in her creations. She also personalizes each bridal experience. For example, since my daughter's wedding occurred during a full moon, she recommended a moonlight photo shot wearing the veil, which was incredibly beautiful! I would highly recommend Marie Hunt. And she is worth the trip if you do not live nearby.

If you're looking for amazing work on your wedding day headpiece this is the place to go. I really wanted to wear my mom's veil for my wedding day and Marie did an amazing job fixing a hole in the veil and then reinventing the old fashioned crown into hair pins to make a more modern look. I'm very impressed with all the work and also doing the whole process virtually was so simple. We accomplished everything I wanted without me ever having to go to New Jersey.

I really wanted to wear my mom’s veil on my wedding day but it really wasn’t my style. I was concerned that due to the age of it, it would be impossible to redesign.
After doing A LOT of research about restoring vintage pieces, I found Marie. I had a consultation and immediately I knew I was in good hands. She handled the veil with white glove treatment and reassured me that it would be exactly what I envisioned. And it was!
I was so proud to walk down the aisle wearing such a special “old” piece.
Highly recommend Marie!

Marie’s talent is one of a kind. Our first appointment together was so detailed and I can’t thank her enough for taking the time to truly get a feel for my vision and what I wanted. The final headpiece came out so beautiful and I now consider it an heirloom that I will pass down to my future daughter or granddaughter. The combination of Swarovski crystals and white opal made for a truly magical headpiece that made me feel like such a princess! If you truly want someone who takes pride in their work and is committed to making you feel like the most beautiful you’ve ever felt I would highly recommend working with Marie!

I reached out to Marie way later than I should have for a headpiece and veil to "upgrade" my grandmother's gown from 1963 that I would be wearing. Not only did Marie help me with the items I came to her for (with an extremely busy schedule, shortened timeline, etc), she wildly exceeded my expectations and helped elevate my grandmother's dress in ways I couldn't have imagined. She has the best eye and skills to make your dreams a reality.

When you really want to stand apart and create lasting images and memories, you need the right piece of jewelry and veil that says perfection. Marie created that for me. What seemed overnight, she turned a bride into a princess, just like a fairy godmother. My only regret is that I can't think of another event to do the same, because the experience, the moment and our endearing new relationship is worth repeating!

I really wanted to wear my mother's veil on my wedding day, and though I had found Headpiece.com a while ago during my research for veil restoration, I didn't reach out to Marie until a few months before our wedding date. Marie was unsure if she would be able to squeeze me in due to the pent up demand from the first year of COVID but we had a consultation and she didn't rush the appointment and was very thorough. Luckily, we were able to work together and she was very attentive and available, even though she was so busy! She took her time and care with me and the veil and I so very much appreciated all the details she helped with! She always made the time to answer questions or get on a call with last minute needs. Yes, it can be expensive to restore a veil but it honestly costs the same amount to buy a new veil and it meant so much for my mum to put her veil in my hair. I really hope that my sisters or future daughter/daughter in law can wear this piece in the future! Thank you, Marie!

Marie was amazing from start to finish! She took my vision (which was very vague) and put together a beautiful work of art. Not only did she make me the perfect veil she also made it out of my moms veil and was meticulous about every detail. I would highly recommend her!

Marie designed a beautiful set of headpieces and veil for my wedding and I could not be happier with how everything came together! It was exactly the vision I was going for and I received so many compliments on how stunning my hair and headpieces were! Marie was such a pleasure to work with as well. She truly treats all of her brides as if they are part of the family, and her dedication to her craft really shines through! Even with postponing my wedding due to COVID, Marie was easy to work with and available if I had any questions. If you are looking for a unique, high quality headpiece, I highly recommend Marie and Headpiece.com!

Marie was an absolute pleasure to work with! We had postponed our wedding 4 times like many other "pandemic couples" and so some things fell off my radar because the constant start and stop was too overwhelming. I had wanted to wear my grandmothers headpiece since I was a little girl but it was WAY too big for my head and the color become yellow due to years of incorrect storing. I brought my piece to Marie a little over 2 months before my wedding and she worked her magic despite giving her zero time when weddings were back in full swing! She looked at my grandmothers piece and my mother's 1980s veil and was able to dream up a more modern piece that was more appropriate for my dress. She spotlighted the details that were beautiful about grandma's piece and added the right amount of shine to make it really stand out. Marie checked in with me along the way which took any stress out of the picture! Highly highly recommend and would trust her with any vintage piece!!

I was referred to Marie and headpiece.com by my sister who had her veil made there the year prior so I really didn’t want to go anywhere else. I had a great experience and Marie really takes her time with you coming up with the veil you envision for your wedding day. Although my veil was much simpler then my sisters I loved her work!

I can't rave about Marie enough! She was able to take my mom's vintage veil and turn it into something that was modern and absolutely stunning. The way the veil turned out surpassed my every expectation. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and she was able to work with me and communicate so well with me even though I lived four hours away. I honestly didn't think it would be possible and I'm so grateful that I found Marie! Having this veil was made was one of the highlights of my wedding day, I don't think I can recommend her enough!

Marie created a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, statement headpiece for my June 2021 wedding. Before my consultation, Marie asked me to send her pictures of my wedding dress. At the consultation, the first headpiece Marie showed me I fell in love with. She shared a few other options, but I felt that first option really checked every box that I was looking for – sparkles, pearls, unique design, soft and fitted to my head, and a thin accent piece. Not to mention she included functional loops for the hairstylist to clip without ruining the piece. Moreover, she recommended a cathedral length veil which I absolutely loved the day of. The headpiece and veil really pulled my whole look together, not only giving me that wow-factor I was looking for, but also made me feel as special, unique, and beautiful as the pieces were themselves. I recommend Marie and her creative talents to any bride that is looking for one-of-a-kind jewelry on their wedding day.

I was fortunate enough to know of Marie through going to school with her daughters. I actually wore a piece of hers to my prom, which I saved and she was able to clean (sorry for all the hairspray!). She then added some extensions to the headpiece, combined with gorgeous matching accessories to be weaved throughout my hair design. Even more stunning was the one piece cathedral length veil/blusher that made me feel like I was floating on air. It was the perfect match to my dress, and made me feel ethereal, especially during photos. Marie is a true artist and will help you design the perfect look(s) for your day(s)! 9/5/20 and 8/28/21

Marie is kind, caring, and in my opinion a beautiful fairy godmother that recreates the love and beauty every woman should experience on her wedding day. She is a woman who loves what she does with passion and wants to invest in creating the memorable love stories we all grew up thinking was only a fairytale. It isn’t a fairytale. It’s real. Love is real and women like Marie exist. She heard my story and she carefully crafted the one item I had from my mother. An item I thought would be lost to us due to age and found crumbled in a box. I lost my mother as a teenager and my deepest desire was to have something meaningful of hers during this momentous occasion in my life. Every girl wants their mom to be there for moments like this and I’ve lived a life without her there. Without her touch, words, or influence Is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But here I am today proud of the woman I have become and excited to create a life I know she would be proud of me for living. I found Marie after searching for someone to restore my mother’s veil. I thought oh boy…she must be in France! There is no way this is going to be easy. How is this going to work? After a few clicks I viewed her website, her Instagram -“and read all the beautiful love stories she helped complete! I saw her talents played out and was blown away. I am blessed to have contacted her and so unbelievably grateful her hands touched my mother’s veil. Little did I know she was just a town away from me in New Jersey! She’s not millions of miles away? Amazing. My hearts desire was to be able to have something significant and as impactful as wearing my mother’s veil as I say the words “I do” to the man I have chosen to love for the rest of my life. My Mother never met him, but I know she will be with me as I walk down that aisle on my wedding day. And it is all due to Marie. Thank you is not enough to express my gratitude. Having this veil on my day means she will be there as I take this huge step forward in my life. I am wearing something she also wore and in better condition than the way it was left? How in the world Marie carefully crafted my mother’s poofy 90’s veil into this sleek modern stunning Beauty that I will be able to pass along for generations to come? With great love that’s how. Her skills are unmatched. She re-crafted this veil with great meticulous attention, you feel safe knowing she will do her very best to give you the best opportunity to wear something meaningful, unique, beautiful, and what you never knew to be possible! I am wrapped in beautiful memories and flooded with emotion today. Thank you Marie for gifting me the ability to look feel positively stunning on my day. As every bride should. This is a work of art and I am forever grateful. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a piece of my mother on my wedding day. I have never imagined being granted this opportunity and I feel truly blessed to have met you.

I can't say enough how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to have Marie create my headpiece for my wedding. There aren't enough words to express how in love I am with the headpiece she designed for me. It is absolutely beautiful! Marie is truly amazing at her craft. She also has the sweetest and most engaging personality. She always made me feel so comfortable. I really appreciated her patience and kindness as she worked with me after having to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. Marie made rescheduling so simple, and she made me forget about all of the wedding-planning stress each time I met with her. Her attention to detail and the time she spent with me to make sur the details were just right, made me feel extremely special. I am very much looking forward to wearing my headpiece on my wedding day! Marie is the best and I highly recommend Headpiece.com!!!

Marie was amazing from start to finish. She was kind and really listened to my story and what I wanted.
My mother passed away 15 years ago and It has always been a dream of mine to wear her veil when I got married. The veil was from the 70s and very yellow and fragile and Marie’s talented hands brought it back to life and transformed it into a work of art! Marie lightened the veil and redesigned into one of her signature styles. It came out absolutely stunning!
Marie cared so much about the project, I felt safe leaving this precious heirloom with her. She walked me through the process and updated me as work went along. She is 100% professional and also so inviting- she felt like family by her end of the process! I would recommend her to anyone looking to restore or design a veil or headpiece!

Marie was absolutely amazing and talented when it came to designing a custom veil and headpiece to match my wedding gown. Our first meeting was before the pandemic hit and we had to cancel our actual wedding reception due to it. However, Marie was extremely sympathetic and made sure to check in on her brides! Even though I did not have a rescheduled date for my wedding reception, we scheduled a photo shoot quickly to be able to wear my wedding gown and veil. Marie was more than accommodating to amp up production time so that I would have my veil in time for pictures. The veil is amazing and made with love and care. The details are unique and all handmade. Highly recommend Marie and headpiece.com for any bride that is looking for a custom piece that will have a special place in your heart and can be passed down for generations to come!

There are truly no words to describe how amazing my experience was with Marie at Headpiece.com! I now refer to her as my “fairy godmother” and here is why. Four weeks before my wedding I received a veil I had ordered from Etsy (Yes, I know.. I still cringe thinking about it!). Unfortunately it was poorly made and not what I wanted at all. Then panic set in, I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to get another one in time. So the calls began to every bridal shop I could think of. As I anticipated, no one could fulfill an order in that short amount of time. Finally, I called Marie. She could hear the heartbreak in my voice as I explained my situation. Although she too was unsure if she could get it done in time, she squeezed me in that day for a consult. The second my mom and I walked in, Marie made us feel right at home. She was so warm, kind, and gracious- it felt like we had all known each other for years! She took the time to talk with me and look at my wedding dress to find the perfect veil. In the process she cried with us, laughed with us, and, most importantly, made me feel so special and beautiful. Not only did I leave with most perfect veil, I left with a new friend. Marie makes a genuine investment in every bride that walks through her shop doors and all leave feeling a part of the Headpiece.com family. I am forever grateful for all that Marie did for me those four weeks leading up to my wedding as well as giving me the honor of attending my wedding. Because who can get married without their fairy godmother?!

I am a former employee of Headpiece. Com, which I worked under Marie for years and learned so much about weddings and creating custom pieces for brides. When it was my turn to wear a white dress, I did did not hesitate when thinking of where I was going to get my bridal accessories. My wedding date is 10/9/20 and I got my custom veils, headpieces, earrings and even garter from Marie. It was so amazing to be on the other side of the counter and have a personalized appointment where I was the focus. Marie takes appointments with her brides very seriously and helps you envision what you want to look like on your big day. When COVID made us postpone our original large reception, Marie came to the rescue and helped me come up with a second look for our small ceremony still to take place 10/9/2020. She helped me understand that I wasn't the only bride going through this and to look on the bright side of things - now I can have two different bridal looks on two different days! With only deciding to postpone our original plans a month out from the date, Marie didn't hesitate to help me come up with a second vision in order to help me still feel like a bride. Now, I have a total of 3 veils (2 for one day, one for the other), earrings for both days and a headpieces. The quality of product and service offered by Headpiece.com is unmatched and I will only recommend to this shop to brides for bridal accessories. If you can think it, Marie can do it! You will not be disappointed!

Marie is an amazing individual who simply does amazing work. She is so personal and you feel that immediately with your first contact with her. It is very apparent that her work is her passion. You will see this with her detail and excitement.
I am considered a covid bride. My wedding has been changed three times. Marie made this process of changing dates as easy as possible. She also had a heart to heart with me to ease my up and down feelings that come with the unknown. She is simply amazing and went above and beyond.
If you are interested in a head piece or an amazing veil. Marie is your person. Give her a call... you won't be disappointed.

There's something truly special about working with someone who has found their calling in life. Simply put, she is a creative genius. Just in case you needed any additional proof of what an all around incredible person she is, knowing that my wedding has been postponed due to the pandemic, she has reached out to me numerous times just to check in on me. Her attention to detail and customer service are unmatched. Of all my vendors, nobody cares for their brides quite like Marie. I'm so proud to be one her bride groupies!

From the first day I met Marie, I knew she was going to put her whole heart into the pieces she designed for me. As a bride whose wedding was postponed several times due to COVID-19, it meant the world to me to have a vendor who was there for me every step of the way. While I didn't get to showcase my headpiece as planned, due to a much smaller and more casual wedding, Marie made me pieces that could be worn together or separate, allowing me to still have a part of my original plan still with me. Marie is not only a talented artist, but she is truly a wonderful person. Can't recommend her enough to brides who want a unique and special headpiece for their day!

Marie worked miracles with my mother’s/grandmother’s headpiece. Not only did she modernize it to go perfectly with my dress but she kept the same pattern and look of the old crown. She also used extra pieces to make a small headpiece for my sister to wear as my maid of honor and when it comes time for her wedding we will swap! Marie is very caring about her clients and will listen and execute any idea you give her! I had no issues trusting her with this priceless heirloom and undertaking its revival.

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful an experience it has been since meeting Marie from Headpiece.com. I was in the search of finding someone to restore my aunts wedding crown that was from 1950's. My aunt and I are very close and it meant the world to me to wear this crown. I came to Marie one month before my wedding. The store that had it prior to her ruined the whole crown. After crying for 3 nights straight Marie called me and asked if I can come to her store in New Jersey. I was coming from Long Island so it was a little bit of a hike, but I was more than happy to go. From the first email she sent me to meeting her in person she put my nerves at ease. You can tell she cares about the piece itself and she cares about each of her clients. She treats you like family and the piece itself is part of her family. She truly cared about the relationship I have with my aunt and the reason why I wanted to wear it. She went through the whole processes of restoring it and what she needed to do. She took on a HUGE project just one month before my wedding and promised she would get me the crown before my wedding. After leaving the store I knew I could trust her and I knew it would be beautiful. During this process Marie did something she normally doesn't do for her clients. She sent me 2 updates that the crown was being worked on. She did this because she knew how upset I was that the other shop ruined it. She called me 1 week before my wedding that the crown was ready. She finished the crown in 3 weeks! When picking up the crown Marie made me feel part of her family. The crown was absolutely stunning and looked just like my aunts 1950's wedding crown but better. I cried because it was so beautiful and because Marie herself is a beautiful person inside and out. She took on someone elses mistake and disaster and restored the true beauty of the crown. She also spent more time on the crown because she was looking at the long term life of it. This is something I will want to pass down in our family and now we will be able to do so because of the choices she made when restoring. When showing my aunt and the rest of my family there was not one dried eye in the room. She even give back all the old pieces from the crown so we are now able to make something else out of those pieces. My family and I are forever grateful for having her in our lives. You can tell this isn't just a job for her that this is her passion. We can't wait to go back to Marie when we have kids to have beautiful pieces made from them and even their christening suits or gowns.

Marie was an absolute GEM to work with. At our first consultation, she took note of my wedding vision/theme to incorporate into my custom headpiece. Marie's attention to detail and making each appointment personal is what makes headpiece.com stand out from generic bridal stores. My final product turned out even more beautiful than what I was expecting. It was the perfect piece to complete my wedding look. Marie makes every bride feel special and it definitely shows in each unique piece that she produces!

We traveled 2.5 hours to Marie so that she could help my best friend design a headpiece. The drive was totally worth it because Marie was so patient and clearly knew her stuff. We are thrilled to have her design a headpiece for a short hair bride and appreciate her professionalism, patience, and creative eye.
