Mother of the Bride

I get a real buzz out of helping Mothers of the Bride and Mothers of the Groom especially, so, let’s settle one big question first – do you actually need to wear a hat? And the answer is – it’s entirely up to you! The decision to wear a hat, and its style, depends on the formality of the occasion, and this is generally discussed during the planning stages of the wedding. To generalise, for a church wedding followed by a marquee reception it’s still traditional to wear a hat; in a more relaxed setting – a barn wedding for instance a headpiece or halo would look great; and for a casual, tipi or beach style celebration something smaller and more informal say on a small comb, maybe more suitable.

Once your outfit has been chosen it’s time to start thinking about the accessories and a hat or headpiece is key to completing the outfit, it should be the icing on the cake so to speak! The most important thing is to choose a hat or headpiece that you feel comfortable wearing that also compliments and coordinates with your outfit. A good place to start is by checking out all the styles on my website, there are Ready to Wear designs in the Online Store too. After browsing the section there if you would like more details about commissioning your own couture hat or headpiece, capturing the essence of this very special day in your family’s life, please look at How it Works (below).
