Once again, we will be celebrating Small Business Saturday this weekend – on Saturday 4th December. Launched to encourage shoppers to shop in their local high street, it supports local businesses – often small shopkeepers who operate from a single store. We all know retail has had a tough couple of years – with many […]
Now that the weather has changed for the worse and the clocks have gone back, we are heading into the colder, darker days of winter. The good news is we have just taken delivery of our new winter pom pom hats in some beautiful bright shades, as well as the trusty winter white, dark greys […]
We always tell our customers to bring their entire outfit when they come to visit us for their wedding headwear. And so many times they tell us they “don’t wear hats” or “I’m not a hat person”. But when it’s their daughter or son’s wedding, they want to look fabulous but don’t know where to […]
Attending a winter wedding is quite different to a summer wedding! While that may be stating the obvious, it means that what you wear as a mother of the bride or groom, or even a guest, will be completely different.

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.

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 […]
