A simple wedding for 2020

Mother of the bride white fascinator4

In these very unusual times, weddings are changing.  While many brides have postponed their 2020 weddings until 2021, some brides have decided they want to go ahead and get married anyway, despite being allowed only 15 guests, and no reception.

The consequence of this is that wedding outfits have changed – including both for the bride and the guests.

Instead of the princess dress, many brides have simplified their gowns since they won’t be showing off the dress around a lavish wedding breakfast with 100+ guests. And instead of a long veil and tiara headdress, many brides are opting for a more simplified look with a hat or fascinator.

The same rules apply to a second-time or mature bride.  They’ve done the traditional wedding first time round, and want a more elegant look this time around.

Simply Devine has a bridal collection which although aimed at brides, can also be worn again and again – perhaps for a day at the races – since many summer dresses have a white or cream background.

Mother of the Bride Hats
Perfect for a second time bride or a mother of the bride, this hatinator is trimmed with bows and feathers.

Our collection of bridal hats and fascinators include white, cream, latte, beige, ivory,  and peach, though many brides often wear pale pinks or blues for a second time wedding.

We have large hats, small pillbox fascinators, and hatinators to suit ladies of all shapes and sizes, all hair colours and styles.

And if you need a specific colour – if you send us a bobbin of cotton in the colour you require, with enough notice,  we can dye sinemay to perfectly match and make your perfect hat or fascinator.
