Hi Ladies, I need some advice about MOB outfits and if it would be strange for my mum not to wear a hat? Also if she does wear a hat is it usually kept on all day? I know that sounds silly but if it is to be taken off later on in the day does that not cause hat hair? Any opinions welcome! x

I think hats are rarer nowadays, although not unusual. It's really a personal choice. Many people choose facinators instead as they are easier and don't cause hat hair.

My mum wore a hat to my sisters wedding and my aunt wore a hat to her daughters. Unfortunately I can't remember if they kept it on all night. Once the photographer's gone theirs no record.

Hiya - the custom is that no other ladies remove their hat until the MOB does. My mum wore one and she wore it until the meal although she was worried about 'hat hair'. She did go and fix her hair so basically came back from the loo without the hat during the meal much to the relief of the other ladies in the room who were also wearing hats.

I wore a fascinator to my son's wedding on May 1st and will be wearing a fascinator to my daughter's on June 18th. I had my hair up and added a couple of sparkly clips so that when I took my fascinator off my hair was still "glammed up"

It depends on what you and Mum would like but I find a fascinator much more comfortable and no "hat hair"

I've told my mum and MIL2B that they can wear a plastic bag on their head if they want! They should be comfortable, so don't feel your mum has to conform to any great protocol.

My "mum" is wearing a fasinator. She doesn't have to wear a hat. At my friends wedding a couple of years ago, the MOB wore a fastiner and it looked lovely. The wedding i went to last year, my cousin's mum wore a hat and it really didn't suit her, i think she just wore it cos she felt she had to!!
It's really down to personal choice and i'm sure your mum will look fab in whatever she's comfortable in!!

My Mum, 2 of my Aunts,and 2 of my cousin's wives are wearing hats (that I know of) but none of the women on H2B's side are wearing hats or fascinators, including his Mum. I'm not bothered though cos I wouldn't want people to wear one just because they thought they had to then feel uncomfortable all day. I have never worn a hat because they don't suit me so wouldn't expect anybody else to.
Just to add, my MIL2B (bless her) did say she would wear one if I wanted her to.
