"Works of art head attire created by a hugely gifted and talented young man with ideas beyond your wildest dreams, whose creations make you feel special. It was an amazing journey." Anne Sanson

"Getting married in one of London's oldest churches inspired me to try and wear something with a vintage look for a modern bride. A month before the wedding I still had not found a suitable headpiece and feared that what I had envisaged simply did not exist. Then I had the pleasure of meeting William Chambers. Visiting with my Mum to see her 'Mother of the Bride' commission (which was out of this world) my heart skipped a beat as a branch of shimmering bejewelled leaves caught my eye...

William's vision and creative ingenuity encapsulated everything I had hoped for and more. Only a week later my specially adapted head piece arrived and it literally took my breath away. It's beauty subsequently inspired my dress designer to replicate the beading for my dress and my florist to pick out the foliage and style of my bouquet. William was an utter joy to deal with and he is a talent on the brink of stardom. I shall treasure my headpiece forever." Fiona Sanson

"I knew I wanted something a bit different, and very special. William’s piece fitted the bill perfectly. On the day everyone commented on the originality of the design and it really finished off my outfit perfectly. William was friendly and professional and it was a surprisingly easy process. I only hope I have another big party to dress up for soon as I would definitely get another head piece made - they really make an outfit."

Zoe Campbell Summer 2009

"I can't thank you enough for my fabulous flowers. They are so beautiful and finished off my outfit perfectly! As for mum's, well, I think the pictures speak for themselves. She looked amazing, and your headpiece added to her fab outfit so well. Everyone admired your wonderful work! It was such a joy to meet you, you were so patient and really listened to what we wanted - the pieces truly were made just for us! Rest assured, anyone who needs a hat, we'll be sending them your way."

Margaret Semple Summer 2009

"I was struggling to find a hat which picked out the colours of my outfit. I visited William's premises after recommendation from a friend. I was looking for something special to wear to my daughter's wedding and was bowled over by his range of head accessories. My daughter’s wedding caused me a lot of stress, however thanks to Willie Chambers’ wonderful creation my hat was something I didn't need to stress about! He is such a nice person to deal with, he listened to my ideas, made suggestions, outsourced my amazing flowers and incorporated a piece of material from my outfit into my beautiful hat and it matched perfectly.
William is a true star and his designs make you feel a million dollars."

"I picked out my dress for my brother’s wedding about four months before the event. I wanted to go for a really outrageous headpiece which would make my outfit stand out as I felt that my dress was very plain. I shopped around and found it difficult to find a milliner in Central Scotland who produced anything other than the usual feather fascinator. I came across William by chance and called him up immediately to arrange an appointment. I visited William and brought along my dress and explained exactly what I wanted. William carefully picked out the feathers and created a show stopper. I liked the fact that I was guided throughout the process and updated regularly. I love my headpiece so much! I did not take it off throughout the wedding and the evening reception. I have worn it again to Ladies Day at the races and look forward to wearing it again soon. William is a very talented designer and an absolute joy to work with! "

"Thank you so much for the beautiful headpiece. The whole process from start to finish was great. It made my outfit really special to have the finishing touch specially designed and made. It was great fun to wear and I hope to have many more occasions for it."

"I discovered William's website a few weeks before my wedding, by which point I had almost given up finding the right sort of headpiece for my outfit. I wasn't able to make it over to Glasgow for a consultation in person, but William was very helpful and we managed to do everything by email. He even sent me samples by post to illustrate what materials he was planning to use. The end result was perfect - the headpiece was just what I wanted, and I received so many compliments on it. It really was the cherry on the cake and made me feel like a million dollars on our big day."

"I can't thank you enough for making my fabulous headpiece, I love it and it was well admired at the wedding. I couldn't bear to take it off so kept it on the whole night. The headpiece made my outfit and I can't wait to have an occasion where I can wear it again. It was so comfortable I forgot I had it on.

I have recommended you to all my family and friends and will definitely be in touch as soon as I require something special again."

Marie Macdonald, Summer 2008

"I had heard of Willie's reputation and read articles in the press so I was excited at the prospect of having him design my hat for my daughter's wedding.

My expectations were truly exceeded when I had my consultations with him. Willie knew exactly what I wanted and created the perfect hat for my outfit and occasion.

I so enjoyed wearing it and delayed as long as possible before removing it!"

Amy Kerr, Summer 2008

"Your headpiece was gorgeous and I got lots and lots of compliments. My outfit just would not have been the same without it. Loved every minute of it and wish I could do it all again, I can't thank you enough for the beautiful headpiece."

Jodie Arthur & Jen Paton, Summer 2008

"My little headpiece was just perfect - for me and my outfit!
William's envious flair & natural talent combined with a lovely character leaves me in no doubt that he'll always get it right no matter who the client or what the occasion. A rare talent based here in Scotland, what a find!" Jodie

"Whoever said you can't buy class obviously hasn't discovered Willie... his refined style is a gift and the pleasure of wearing a custom made bespoke piece is truly wonderful. For me...a William Chambers headpiece is the new black!" Jen

Sarah Wells, August 2007

'There's nothing quite as exciting as having a hat specially made for you. Willie designed the most perfect complement to my wedding outfit, both in colour and style, and its simplicity belied his attention to detail. I was continually asked by other guests where I'd got my hat and I was proud to say it was a Willie Chambers'.

Elle Gordon, April 2007

'Finding Willie Chambers is like finding the best kept secret in Scotland... which I am happy to share with all who wish to have the most memorable hat and exciting experience when putting that very special outfit together. Willie made me feel like royalty. His unique flair, creativity, and luxurious fabrics made for the perfect hat. Just perfection.'

Caroline McLelland and Doreen McGarrety, April 2007

“Thank you for designing my headpiece, it was truly stunning and the perfect finishing touch to my wedding dress. Your attention to detail, your patience, enthusiasm and vision resulted in a beautifully made and elegant headpiece. I received so many compliments and loved telling everyone that it had been designed just for me. I really enjoyed our chats throughout the design stages and all the extra wedding style advice you gave me.”
Caroline

“As Mother of the Bride I was a bit worried about finding a headpiece for my outfit as I did not wish to wear a hat. After discussing my initial requirements with William I knew I was in safe hands. I was over the moon when I saw the finished piece – an elegant, beautifully designed headpiece of the highest quality.”
