Some important rules of thumb apply to wearing a hat/headpiece to a wedding:
You’re wearing the hat and not the other way around. Be confident but choose a style that ultimately you’re comfortable in and one that compliments your shape and height. If you’re tall avoid tall hats and go for wider brims. If you’re short avoid large hats and go for smaller structured creations.
The Mother of the Groom should always choose a wedding hat smaller than the Mother of the Bride’s. This is a set rule across all social situations that dictate that guests should never out-shine their hosts. The Mother of the Bride also dictates when other ladies may remove their hats and fascinators. Until she removes her hat, other ladies are expected to leave theirs on.
Women’s hats are fashion accessories and are part of their ensembles. Therefore, ladies are not required to remove their hats when going indoors. However, Never knowingly obscure anyone’s view and keep all of those pesky feathers at bay so they don’t poke anyone in the eye. When seated directly in front of someone at the ceremony, it is polite to remove your hat. If asked by a gentleman to remove your headpiece because it is obstructing his view, a lady is unfortunately expected to kindly oblige. These are just a few hat etiquette rules. Finally, smile and enjoy your wedding, It’s a special occasion.
