The Pillbox Hat, a New Wedding Hair Accessory Trend?
A pillbox hat, as well as other types of bridal hats are famously flattering and seem to be coming into vogue as a popular wedding hair accessory right now.
The Pillbox Hat
“Pillbox Hat Triumph”The pillbox hat can be a fabulously fun wedding hair accessory. You may remember Jackie Kennedy, a fashion icon in the 60’s, made the pillbox hat famous. Jackie gave the pillbox hat a classy reputation that still holds today.
The pillbox hat is a small hat that works well on most ladies and especially on petite brides. It is a fashion statement in itself yet it won’t overwhelm the rest of your look. Pair a pillbox hat with a short veil and a fitted gown. Famous brides that have donned the pillbox hat as a wedding hair accessory include Martha Stewart!
The Cocktail Hat
Just like the pillbox hat, the cocktail hat is a classy small wedding hair accessory that makes a big statement. You will typically see a cocktail hat decorated with a small veil and/or feathers, bows or other frills. I suggest wearing a cocktail hat the same as you would a pillbox hat, with a fitted gown.
Picture Hat
When I see brides wearing picture hats, it reminds me of the old-thyme Southern Belle’s getting married at an afternoon affair in the backyard. Picture hats are usually large brimmed hats decorated with frills such as bows, feathers or even a small frontal veil.
You can wear a picture hat with almost any style of wedding dress you’d like, but keep in mind you will probably be removing it sometime after the ceremony as it may become a bit cumbersome. The problem is you run the risk of bumping it constantly while greeting your guests. So be sure you feel comfortable with the hair style you are hiding under the picture hat as you will more than likely have lots of pictures sans the picture hat!
