Private millinery & Mad Hatter teas

Formé Millinery / The Hat Shoppe
Jenny Pfanenstiel’s linked hat businesses offer private millinery experiences, from blocking a hat or making sculptural embellishments to a faster decorating workshop using pre-made hats. The Hat Shoppe separately invites private Mad Hatter tea-and-fascinator parties. Custom-made guest hats and a hat-reveal celebration are also offered for weddings.
