If you have found yourself Mr. Right, and soon planning for a wedding, start contemplating the perfect hat. Hats have always been the preferred compliment to gowns.

Like it or hate it, your wedding would be considered a special day in life—so you need a style that is unique. A bridal hat is vital much as the gown is. And if you are a hat person, go for it, because they are certainly a great alternative to veils!

Well enough is enough; it’s not an issue of putting the thing on, but brides are advised to be extra careful when choosing the hat to avoid a faux pas on the wedding day.

Adding the perfect impact to your looks, update your wedding dress with a stylish hat with the modern approach of fashion. Avoid the styles with veils for rather obvious reasons. But apart from that you are free to let your imagination go wild.

A perfect hat will definitely flatter, as it brings a sense of balance, and earns the bride all the great compliments.
If you have always wished to look effortlessly stylish and gorgeous on your wedding day, why not think of a hat.

The craze is the latest in the fashion industry, and the good news is, they are designed in different styles to meet people’s choices.

"I’m a shy character. I think a hat would be an ideal for me to avoid direct eye contact with a hundred eyes, all focusing on me,” Cynthia Umutesi, 24, said.

For many, a hat is more than a craze thing, because it creates a statement of confidence, and the only way to mix glamour with elegance.

A mixture of gauzy fabrics with flurries of feathers and flowers is the perfect cap to an outdoor wedding.
"I love the idea of brides wearing a bridal hat instead of a veil. The trend is very stylish,” Andrew Mugisha said.

You can still maintain your natural look, but if you are not used to wearing hats, it’s a good idea to know your face, and the shape of the hat that will turn heads. So, here is how to ensure a perfect fit on your wedding day:
Oblong face: Naturally this face looks longer and not wide. Go for a carved rounded brim style to give emphasis to the width of you face.

Oval face: Wear a hat with a large size brim to achieve that flattering look.

Round face: A hat with a short brim is just perfect for you. Try angular styles that contrast with the roundness to achieve a narrower and longer look.

When you are wearing a statement coloured hat, such as pink, you have to be able to stand out, and not your clothing. Do not let the hat take over you, you should take over and wear it confidently.
This is it! After knowing what will make your wedding day credible, choose your gown, decide on a hairstyle, and go hat hunting!
