About Us
Kalee and Wendy have always dreamed of starting a business together but wanted to wait for
the perfect idea. Kalee has always been a regular traveller to the United Kingdom and would
always come home with a new “fascinator” that she would wear to weddings and other social
events. While helping a friend shop for wedding gown a few years back, her friend decided that
she didn’t want to wear a veil and asked Kalee if she could borrow one of her fascinators
instead. Kalee had a better idea; she made her friend a custom hair piece to go with her
individual style. On the day of the wedding, Kalee got so many compliments on her hair piece
that she knew this was the ideal business for herself and her Mom. While they started making
hair jewellery as a hobby, they became instantly hooked. Their pieces were so popular that the
passion turned into a booming business and thus, Frilly Bits was born.
Today Frilly Bits is still a relatively new venture but in that short time they’ve gained a ton of
momentum and have already created hundreds of custom hairpieces and birdcage veils for their
clients. Frilly Bits has also accessorized many bridesmaids, swanked up some grooms and
groomsmen, participated in various photo shoots, and outfitted bachelorette parties and
showers.
They also don’t mind bragging about the attention they have received by such t.v personalities
as the beautiful Dina Pugliese of Breakfast Television–who not only gave them a “shout out” on
BT, but wore one of their designs to her coverage of the Royal Wedding. Dina even noted in a
later conversation with Kalee that Barbara Walters was a fan of their creation! They were also
asked by April Kalloo, the segment producer of BT, to create a one-of-a-kind piece for her big
day. With such success in such a short time Kalee and Wendy dream that, someday, you will
find their works of art in some of their favorite wedding publications such as WedLuxe and
Martha Stewart Weddings.
Kalee and Wendy work with each bride to create custom hair jewellery to match the wedding
colours and style and work with any idea or theme to make the bride’s vision come to life. “What
we love most about our business, says Kalee, is the wide variety of people we work with. Our
creativity and flexibility enables us to create something understated and classic, like a simple
Dupioni Silk gardenia for the traditional bride one minute, to a hot pink birdcage veil for the rock
‘n’ roll bride the next! It’s what keeps us loving our job, we never know what type of order is just
around the corner! This industry is ever changing, so we make it our philosophy to embrace all
styles and themes!”
Frilly Bits is unique because they are able to take a bride’s vision and personality and translate it
into a show stopping, custom piece that celebrates her personal style. They don’t stop at
hairpieces though. They can create everything from boutonniere alternatives, bridal party
hairpieces and accessories, corsage alternatives, cake toppers, clutches with frilly bits on them,
custom sashes, shoe clips, rings, ANYTHING that will help the bride create a cohesive vision for
her big day.
Weddings are becoming less about tradition and more about giving the guests a glimpse into
what makes the couple so unique and special. Frilly Bits is a perfect way to emphasize that!
“We love when our brides open their Frilly Bits package, see their vision materialized, and
squeal with delight. It’s infectious and we can’t get enough! Not only have we been able to fulfill
our dream of someday working together, but we’ve created something really special in the
process”
