Becoming Bloom Handmade Derby Showstopper Featuring Handcrafted Feather Flowers in Bud to Full Blossom”

Becoming Bloom is a celebration of transformation — a true Derby showstopper that captures the moment a flower unfurls into full grace. Every petal and feather in this piece is entirely handcrafted, sculpted by milliner Lisa Maltese of Julep Hat Designs to illustrate the beauty of growth, renewal, and artistry in motion.

Each feather flower tells its own story, evolving from a delicate bud into a radiant blossom, symbolizing confidence and feminine strength. This couture fascinator is light yet dramatic, with movement that catches the light and the eye from every angle.

Handmade from start to finish in Florida, this one-of-a-kind design embodies what modern millinery should be — elegant, expressive, and forever in bloom.
