Outdoor wedding hat: where to rent and how to wear

Here in Brazil it is not so common to wear a hat for an outdoor wedding, but there is always one or the other reader looking for this glamorous accessory for the wedding look, especially guests.

I imagine that anyone who is looking for a hat to wear for an outdoor wedding must already know the rules of use but it is worth remembering:

• Hat can only be worn at weddings during the day
• Hat should not be worn with a long dress. Worth midi dresses, shorts and even overalls. You just can’t wear a long dress (but there are those who wear it).

Hat for wedding guest

Inspiration is never too much so here’s the tip: follow the Spanish Sandra Majada, the “Invitada Perfecta“. As wearing hats at weddings and outdoor events is more common in Europe, she always puts on wonderful looks wearing hats. Just take a look at some looks I took from her feed:

Note that in the photos above you can see some of the various hat models that exist. That is, there are numerous options of models, sizes and materials to be able to adapt to your personal style / look chosen for the wedding.

Where to rent a wedding hat

It is possible to rent a wedding hat in Brazil, including through the website. I made a list with some store options, some even specializing in hats for weddings and other social events.

Most common hat models at weddings

There are several types and models of hats for social events but the most common and currently used are the following models.

Fascinator: it is a piece that goes ahead of the face and has medium or large arrangements with flowers, ribbons, feathers, stones and ornaments in general.

Casket: piece that has a small base and can display flowers, ribbons, feathers, stones and ornaments in general. It is a small hat attached by a clamp.

Hat everyone knows. In weddings the “breton” models are used more, straight with raised flap at the end, “capelline”, with straight and long flap and the “queen”, of sisal, commonly used by Queen Elizabeth II.
