If you’ve regularly been reading our blogs, you may remember an article from December last year when we looked at three young couples whose wedding plans were disrupted by COVID-19. Obviously they weren’t the only ones, since we had a busy summer 2021 with mothers of the bride and groom and their guests visiting our […]
We are looking at designing our new 2022 hat collection, so the first thing we need to do is look at what colours the fashion houses are promoting in their current shows. Mothers of the bride or groom can choose their outfits from many of the retailers – including ourselves – on the high street, […]
We love to receive photographs from our customers as a reminder of such happy occasions. Here are a selection of our fabulous customers wearing a selection of stunning hats, hatinators and fascinators.
With Ebor Ladies Day hurtling towards us next week, we thought it would be an idea to feature some of our lovely customers who have bought our beautiful hats and fascinators for previous race days – including for Royal Ascot. While we may not still have these particular beautiful headpieces in stock, we do have […]
While we pride ourselves on being the go-to hat shop for mothers of the bride and groom, we also love to create fabulous hat and fascinator designs for race-goers. Racing is certainly in our blood at Simply Devine – we first opened our doors in 2004 to coincide with Royal Ascot moving to York during […]

Even worse we’ve seen family members struggle with illness and we’ve lost loved ones. Times are still fragile, but July brings hope of restrictions eased and […]
Choosing a wedding hat or fascinator for a mother of the bride or groom is almost as important as choosing the dress to wear for the special day. And the first thing we ask our special customers is what colour they are looking for. For 2021, the most popular colours for this summer’s weddings are […]
The good news for weddings is that things will soon be back to normal (hopefully!) We are delighted that customers are returning to the shop with their wedding outfits – most of which they have had in their wardrobes for the past year – to find the perfect co-ordinating hat or fascinator. For the moment, […]
A recent survey by Confetti Magazine and the National Wedding Show conducted during October found that a staggering 92% of weddings had been postponed during 2020. We recently wrote about how this had impacted on the wedding industry in general (see previous article) but we didn’t take into account the human cost of postponing a […]
