WHAT OUR SUMMER CUSTOMERS ARE WEARING

Our beautiful hats, fascinators and hatinators have graced the heads of mothers of the bride and groom, and race day guests for almost 20 years, and this year has been no exception. 

Julie wears a beautiful blue hatinator to complement her blue lace dress and jacket.

With Royal Ascot this week, we have loved looking at photographs of the race day guests in their colourful creations.  There are, as always, some beautiful outfits and headpieces – and some absolute frights!  While we love to ensure our customers leave our Tadcaster shop looking a million dollars, we wonder how some of the guests thought they looked good in their mismatched and unflattering outfits.

We don’t yet have any photos from our own lovely Ascot customers – one took three fabulous pieces from us – but we can showcase some recent wedding photographs featuring mothers of the bride/groom and wedding guests.

Sophie is wearing this cute beige pillbox with veiling to match her nude handbag.

We always ask customers to bring their dress/shoes/handbags with them when they visit us, so they can see the full picture and ensure their outfit is absolutely perfect.  Owner Liz will not recommend a headpiece to a customer if she believes it isn’t perfectly suited either to her body shape/colouring or the occasion.

For customers who order online, but are not sure they have found an exact match to their dress or suit, we ask that they send us a bobbin of cotton, a skein of embroidery silk, or a swatch of the fabric so we can see the exact colour of the outfit. You can also send us a photograph of your dress to ensure the style will be correct for the headpiece.

I set up the Simply Devine Hat Shop in 2004 and have been running the bricks and mortar high street shop in Tadcaster and our online hat shop since the early days. We were 17 years old last week!. That's a hat long time for a hat shop. We are nestled in the brewery town of Tadcaster where beer is brewed, ie Samuel Smiths, John Smiths.

It's been a very very busy hat year, and to celebrate we have once again been shortlisted for The Nation's Wedding Awards (to be held in Birmingham in November). We have been selected as a Finalist too for The English Wedding Awards in 2025!!! How hat exciting is that! We will be celebrating our 21st birthday in 2025, so hopefully we will have lots to celebrate! A great big thank you to all our hat customers all over the world, including all our local customers who obviously know where the Simply Devine Hat Shop is in Tadcaster. We have been very hat blessed for nearly 21 years!!!
