In Your Bonnet... Wedding Hats and Headwear

As Easter approaches it brings to mind one thing (after chocolate and eggs of course!) ---Easter Bonnets! There is no sweeter thrill for me than to keep watch on Easter morning for the parade of Easter bonnets headed to church and around the city. Tall ones, short ones, big ones, small ones.................. some wonderful and some less than. I'll be wearing a super short haircut and maybe a magnolia hair pin or two!


From HeKnowsMyName, 3 for 27!

Thinking along those lines, will this be the season of wedding veils? Vintage hats? Here at BBP we believe that a bride should let her personal style be the guide and that personality shines through on the wedding day.

Should hats be your thing, or if you like all of us simply enjoy the hat-ly gander------- have a peek! Our picks here (not the final selection by any means) are mostly vintage or vintage inspired. Mom's of the bride can pull off larger hats if that is their choice but the bride's headpiece should be a supporting actress and not the leading lady.

This one is from Lady Diane, very British--- don't you think? Very Easter Bonnety! Different, that's for sure!

The cloche is not only a style classic but a silhouette that has been fashion forward lately. This is from Hats in the Belfry and is the Kokin Sidesweep, it's about $380.

Yummily vintage and quite sassy is from Hats and Fascinators--

Another vintage piece comes from Batcakes Couture at about $65.

Vintage inspired and a little over the top is also from Hats and Fascinators and is their Abigail model.

More traditional but no less wonderful is the bridal hat above from Maggie Mae.

How about a fabulous ostrich feather fascinator from Batcakes Couture???? Wow!

Something blue, LizDer, also from Maggie Mae.


Part hat, part veil, all drama and style is the Birdcage veil from YJdesign at $59.



A final look, also Maggie Mae is Salita------- now that is a hat, bridal or not!

Everyone at Bobbi Brinkman Photography looks forward to a season of hats------ Easter Bonnets and Beyond. What will YOU be wearing?

My great grandmother used to make hats and headpieces like this back in the day. What a cool post!
