16 Irresistible Mother of the Bride Hat Alternatives You’ll Love

The choice of the perfect hat or fascinator is an essential part of the mother of the bride's ensemble, adding the finishing touch of sophistication and elegance to her wedding day look. As well as complementing the mother of the bride's chosen gown, hats and fascinators can also enhance the personal style, giving the wearer an air of confidence and distinction. These carefully selected accessories have the power to enhance a graceful appearance and ensure that the mother of the bride stands out with poise and charm on one of the most memorable occasions of her life.

 

How to Choose the Perfect Mother of the Bride Hat?

The wedding day is approaching, and as the mother of the bride, you're tasked with finding that one special accessory to perfectly complete your look—a hat or fascinator that says elegance, confidence, and charm. But wait! Before you dive into endless searches and countless options, wouldn’t it be helpful to know exactly what makes a hat or fascinator the perfect choice for you? From complementing your dress to accentuating your personal style, here's your essential guide to discovering exactly what will make you shine on your daughter’s big day.

 

Matching the wedding theme

Every wedding has its own unique style and your hat should be in keeping with the overall theme of the wedding. If the wedding is very formal or black tie, you might opt for a structured hat with a wider brim or even a small veil for classic sophistication. If it's a casual or low-key affair, a less fussy headpiece might be more appropriate. A stylish fascinator or delicate headband might be more appropriate so you don't feel overdressed. Timing is also important - a huge, flashy hat can feel out of place at night, so many mums choose a more modest hat or fascinator for an evening ceremony. Think about the venue and setting too. A wedding in the garden or outdoors during the day is a great opportunity for a chic hat that also serves a purpose - a flattering, wide-brimmed hat can look right at home amongst the flowers and help to shield you from the sun. If it's a beach wedding, skip any hat that's too flimsy or has feathers that could catch the breeze. The last thing you want is for your hat to fly away in the middle of the ceremony!

For breezy locations, consider a tight-fitting hat (or use discreet hat pins). This will keep the hat in place. On the other hand, if your wedding has a theme (let's say the couple are going for a vintage or rustic theme), you can have fun with your choice of hat. For example, a 1920s pillbox or a slightly veiled fascinator would be charming for a vintage celebration. The aim is for your hat to look like it belongs in the atmosphere of the wedding, whether that means grand and traditional or relaxed and whimsical.

Considerations for different face shapes

Just like hairstyles or glasses, different hat shapes flatter different face shapes.When you're shopping or trying on hats, keep your face shape in mind for the most flattering look:

 

Round face

Look for hats that add a bit of height or angle to your face. High-crowned hats or high, angled brims help elongate a round face, and make sure the hat is wider than your face to create a slimming effect. You can also balance the soft curves of a round face with angular shapes or asymmetrical designs.

Square face

Soften these angles with a hat that is worn at an angle. A square face has a strong jawline and broad forehead, so try designs that can be tilted or have rounded elements. A high-crowned hat helps to lengthen your face and balance the width. Many square-faced mums love how a saucer-shaped or sloping hat can break up the symmetry and give you a graceful look.

Heart shaped face

A hat that sits straight across the forehead complements a heart-shaped face (wider forehead, narrower chin). This helps to 'balance' the width of your forehead. Medium-brimmed hats are often ideal. Not too wide to overwhelm your delicate chin, but just wide enough to add proportion. The soft lines of a heart-shaped face can also be echoed with soft details (such as feather accents or soft curves).

Oval face

The good news is that an oval face can wear almost any style of hat with ease! If you have an oval face, you can experiment with wide brims, cloches, fascinators, you name it. Have fun trying different shapes to see what works best with your outfit and personality, because your face is balanced. 

(A word of advice: if you're very delicate, even with oval faces, you might want to avoid extremely oversized hats that might overpower you - if not, there's no limit to what you can do).

 

Long or elongated face

Look for hats that provide some horizontal balance if your face is longer than it is wide (an oblong shape). A broad-brimmed hat worn fairly low can visually shorten the length of your face by adding width. You could also try a hat with a flat crown (nothing too high) and more emphasis on horizontal lines, such as a wide band or trim. Rather than looking up and down your face, this will draw the eye across your face.


Keep in mind that these are just guidelines - the most important thing is that you feel comfortable in the hat. But you can narrow down the styles that look naturally proportionate on you by using your face shape as a starting point.

 

Comfort and practicality

Weddings are happy, long affairs. And you'll probably be wearing your hat for several hours, from the pre-wedding photos to possibly well into the evening.

So comfort is key. Make sure that the hat is a good fit (not so tight that it gives you a headache, but not so loose that it slips down). You don't want to be tempted to take it off halfway through the day, so you want something light and balanced on your head. Make sure it sits securely: many formal hats have discreet loops on the inside to hold a hairpin or comb.


If you're attending an outdoor wedding (hello, wind!), consider using a hatpin or extra bobby pins to secure your hat. This way, a surprise gust of wind won't send it flying. The idea is that you'll almost forget you're wearing a hat at all, so you can concentrate on the enjoyment of the day. Practicality is important as well. Check that you have good visibility when wearing the hat - you want to be able to see the bride, not spend the ceremony peering around a giant brim! Hats with an upturned brim or a shorter brim at the front are popular with mothers of the bride, as they won't block your view (or your face) during the event.


A very large or dark hat can cast shadows on your face, so if photos are important, choose a shape and colour that allows your face to come out well when photographed.There may be times during the day when you want to remove your hat for comfort. For example, some mothers wear their hat for the ceremony and formal photos, then take it off for the reception or dinner. If you think you'll be doing this, look for a hat that's easy to remove without messing up your hair (headband fascinators are great for this). Ultimately, a comfortable, secure hat is one less thing to worry about, so you can laugh, mingle and dance without worrying about your headwear.

 

Hat-outfit coordination

You can create a vibrant yet coordinated look by choosing a hat in a complementary colour - like picking up an accent colour from your outfit. You want your hat to work well with your dress, shoes and other accessories, as it's part of your overall outfit. Many mothers of the bride choose to match the colour of their hat to the colour of their dress for an elegant, tonal look (for example, a navy blue dress with a navy blue hat for a cohesive ensemble). Others prefer to use the hat to add a pop of colour or an accent: you can use one of the secondary colours of your outfit in your hat, rather than the exact base colour. For example, if your dress has a beautiful floral print with hints of blush pink, you might choose a blush pink hat to emphasise this accent, rather than matching the primary background colour of the dress. This approach can actually look very chic and not too "matchy-matchy".


Another trick is for some mums to match the hat to their shoes and to their bag. For example, you could choose a soft grey outfit with a pink hat. You could then wear pink shoes or carry a clutch with pink trim to tie it all together. Whether you choose to match your hat to your dress or to an accessory, aim for a cohesive colour story that doesn't clash with the wedding palette. (The bride may have given guidance on colours to avoid, especially if there is a coordinated scheme.) As well as colour, think about the balance of style and scale between your outfit and hat. If your dress is very detailed - for example, with lots of lace, embellishment or a bold pattern - a simpler hat will often work best so that your whole look doesn't look too busy or compete for attention.


A simple, monochromatic fascinator or clean-lined hat in a matching colour can be the perfect way to tone down a busy outfit. Conversely, you can use your hat as a fashionable focal point if your outfit is relatively simple or monochromatic. For example, a statement hat with an eye-catching trim or interesting shape could be paired with a plain dress and jacket. Always take a step back and consider your ensemble as a whole: the hat should be a complement to your look, not an overpowering addition. Also consider how your other accessories will look with the hat. If you are wearing an eye-catching hat, you may want to keep your jewellery understated - perhaps avoiding a large necklace and sticking to simple earrings so that you don't have too many focal points in your outfit. The end result should be a cohesive look where everything from your hat to your heels feels like part of the same story.

 

Seasonal factors

The best hat for you will definitely depend on the time of year and the weather. You'll be most comfortable in spring and summer in lightweight hat materials. Think of sinamay (a lightweight straw material that is popular for formal hats), straw, or other breathable fabrics that won't make you overheat. Not only will these materials keep you cooler, but they'll also look seasonal. A pastel sinamay hat with perhaps some silk flowers is perfect for a summer wedding. You might also see mother of the bride hats for the summer, with features such as perforations or looser weaves to allow air to circulate.


In autumn or winter, however, a more structured hat in felt, wool or even velvet can be both stylish and practical. A wool or felt hat (perhaps with a cute bow or feather detail) will look great with the richer fabrics and colours of winter outfits. It will also keep you a little warmer on those chilly transitions between venues. Also consider colour and embellishment according to the season: soft neutrals and floral accents feel natural in spring/summer, while deeper jewel tones, metallic touches or feathered embellishments can shine in the autumn/winter months. Whatever the season, it's always a good idea to have a look at the weather forecast at the start of the day.


If it's going to be a hot summer day, you'll be grateful for a hat that offers some shade, and you'll know to avoid heavy fabrics. If there's a chance of rain at an outdoor wedding, you might want to bring an umbrella in a matching colour. That way, you won't ruin your beautiful hat. For a winter event, make sure that your hat can be paired with a warm coat or shawl when you are outdoors. (You can opt for a coordinating shawl or coat that will still allow you to show off your hat.) In short, choose a hat that not only looks and feels appropriate for the season, but also helps you feel comfortable in whatever weather the season may bring on the big day.

 

Confidence and personal style

Finally, and most importantly, choose a hat that is a reflection of your own happiness and confidence. This is your daughter's big day, and although you'll be in the spotlight too, it's important to embrace your own personal style. If you're not a hat person, you don't have to go all the way with a giant fascinator if it doesn't feel right - there are plenty of sophisticated, smaller options that can still make you feel dressy.


If, on the other hand, you are in love with the idea of a dramatic hat, then this is one of the best occasions for a hat! What matters is that when you look in a mirror, you feel like yourself, but in a stylish way. Stick with what you love and what makes you feel comfortable. Don't be afraid to try on lots of different styles. You might be surprised which one makes you look your best.


Sometimes a hat may look unusual when it's on the shelf, but comes to life when you smile and stand tall while wearing it. Remember, confidence is the best accessory you can wear. If you feel good about what you're wearing, it shows. A mother of the bride who feels at ease in her hat will always look better than one who is clearly uncomfortable or who is worried about her headpiece. So if the trendy style all the magazines are pushing doesn't make you feel fabulous, give yourself permission to skip it. Find one that does. It could be a timeless classic, or something with a fun twist - as long as it works for you.


And remember, all eyes will be on your daughter, the bride, so you can have a bit of a break and enjoy your own fashion moment in a stress-free way. So go for a hat that will make you stand up a little taller and smile a little wider. Not only will you complement the whole event, but you'll also be able to enjoy every moment of this special day with grace and joy when you show up feeling comfortable, coordinated and confident in your beautiful hat.
