When can we wear hats to a wedding?
If we are invited to a day wedding, you can wear hats, hats and certain headdresses. The reason is quite logical and simple. Hats were invented to protect us and cover us from sunlight, so what is the point of wearing a hat at an afternoon or evening wedding, if there is no longer the sun? The brim and width of the hat will vary depending on whether it is a sunny or cloudy day.
If you are invited to an afternoon wedding, then you can use headdresses with sophisticated materials such as feathers, silks, stones … In fact, headdresses can be a wild card, which we can use both during the day and at night. The only thing that will vary will be the materials with which it is made. In this way, daytime headdresses will be designed with natural materials such as flowers , linens, straws, raffias … In any case, headdresses should not protrude from the contour of the head.
The style of the ceremony is also important . This will also mark the style of your hat or headdress. Vintage-style weddings, boho-style weddings, country weddings, beach weddings… If the wedding is in a classic and sober style, the most appropriate is a side headdress with some feather details.
We must not lose sight of the season of the year in which the wedding takes place. The materials will not be the same, since in winter we will use velvets, felts, wool and crystal details, while in summer the materials will be raffia, cottons, flowers … In the same way, headdresses should be worn between the months of March. to october
When can we take off our hat or hat?
This is another aspect to pay attention to. The protocol dictates that women who wear a hat to a wedding, must go out and return home with it on. Hence the importance of making a good choice with which to be comfortable throughout the day. Although it also recognizes that there may be certain concessions and we can take it off at certain times such as:
- You can remove it when the bride removes her veil, which is usually after the meal and before the dance.
- In addition, once the sun has gone, the use of the hat or hat loses all sense.
If you go to a wedding at night, the protocol indicates that you cannot take off your headdress or adornment.
