About AJ Gretton Millinery

From Royal Ascot to the Paris Longchamp Races, my bespoke hats and fascinators have turned heads at events worldwide. From stylish women to the Royal Family, these creations have adorned some of the most distinguished figures.

Based in Barnes, London, I design and handcraft wedding hats, race day fascinators and handmade headpieces that combine elegance with sophistication. Each piece reflects a timeless sense of style, crafted with care and attention to detail.

I trained under Rose Cory, the world-renowned milliner to the late Queen Elizabeth II. That royal heritage has shaped my work, ensuring that every design is more than a fashion statement. My handmade fascinators and popular mother of the bride hats are designed to celebrate individuality and make every occasion unforgettable.

Bespoke Hats and Fascinators for Every Occasion

My hats and fascinators have graced Britain’s most prestigious events. Carrie Johnson, wife of the former Prime Minister, wore my designs at the Platinum Jubilee at St Paul’s Cathedral and at Royal Ascot. She also chose my creations for the State Funeral of Her Majesty the Queen and the Coronation of King Charles III. My horse-themed Royal Ascot statement hat was even described by the media as the ‘best hat’ of the event.

My collections have also appeared in leading publications including Vogue and Hello! magazine. I have exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Private Preview in 2024 and 2025, raising funds for the Marie Curie Charity. In 2025, a headpiece adorned with 24k gold sold at a private auction, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship behind every creation.

Whether it is a wide brim wedding hat, a Royal Ascot fascinator or a handmade mother of the bride hat in London, I design with you in mind. I design and tailor every bespoke piece to perfection. Each creation showcases my craftsmanship, handcrafted with the finest materials so you look unforgettable and feel confident at every special occasion.

  • Absolutely love my new fascinator! I wore it to a wedding and received so many compliments. It looks completely bespoke and dealing with Anne was incredible. She’s so kind and really listens to what you want. The soft pink colour and delicate floral design are elegant and feminine. I can't wait to wear it again.
