ABOUT ME

why hire

Etiquette

How it works and what next?

Hire prices range from £45 - £90 depending on the hat. This price covers an agreed rental period (normally Tuesday 10am - 3:30pm the following Tuesday). I aim to be as flexible as possible for hats that are hired for weddings abroad (please check out taking hats on flights with your airline).

Hats and hatinators can be chosen and booked weeks or months in advance and will then be prepared and ready for collection on your agreed hire date.

Please be aware that the hat or hatinator is your responsibility whilst in your possession. Please refer to my Terms and Conditions when hiring for comprehensive information.

Royal Ascot

Royal Ascot delivers world class horse racing over five days, high end fashion and exceptional millinery. It is the social event of the summer season and a perfect opportunity to dress up. Why not visit Mrs B's Bonnets as part of your Royal Ascot experience. If you are unsure of the dress code I have all you need to know below.

Ladies - official dress code.

Weddings

Etiquette states that the groom's mum should wear a smaller hat that the mother of the bride. However, if both the bride and groom are hosting the wedding then both mums can wear equally large hats or hatinators.

Wedding guests usually wear a smaller hatinator or fascinator.

All guests are expected to keep their headpiece on until the mother of the bride removes hers.

Think about photographs, whether you are a mother of the bride, the groom or a wedding guest, try to avoid hats or headpieces that fall over your eyes or face.

By Royal Appointment

Congratulations if you have been chosen to receive an invitation from The King to attend an Investiture or Garden Party, the official dress code states that a hat is preferable and that the occasion calls for classic formal headwear.

Investitures usually take place at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. Garden parties are generally at Buckingham Palace and on grass. It is appropriate to wear a day dress or suit with a hat or fascinator. National dress and uniform are also often worn.

TOP TIP: You may wish to wear wedges to avoid thin heels sinking into the grass. Perhaps slip a pair of comfy flats into your bag, along with an umbrella…just in case!

If anyone in the UK s strugglng to find the perfect hat, I can 100% recommend Mrs B's Bonnets in Newton Abbot, Devon.

I am the MOB on 19 January, 2024 and was getting myself into a stew about choosing the right hat!
I was so relieved when Nicky, the MOG referred me to Jackie at Mrs B’s.
I made my selection remotely in the online store, & Jackie added co-ordinating feathers to match my outfit.
Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish!

I visited Mrs B's Bonnets for a Hat/Fascinator for my son's wedding in September.
I didn't know what I wanted but Jackie was really helpful. A lovely little shop with so many hats and fascinators in so many colours - I was spoilt for choice!!
I would recommend Mrs B's Bonnets anytime!!
First class service!

I hired my “hatinator” for my son’s wedding . Jackie was amazing and the first one she suggested to match my dress was just prefect ( I did try others one but knew I would pick the first one as it was just so perfect). Being able to try the hat on with the rest of your wedding outfit makes the experience brilliant . I had so many compliments at my son’s wedding and felt fabulous whilst wearing it. I most definitely will be back next time I need a hat.

Choosing a hat at Mrs B's was a lovely experience. So many hats to choose from, I could have taken hours trying them on, but Jackie presented me with what she thought would work and she certainly knows her hats! I loved the hat I chose, and had great customer service from her after a little hiccup meant I needed to change the first choice.
I've already recommended her to others and will be back again if I have another hat wearing occasion in the future!
Thank you!
