Hats & Fascinators
A proper hat shop is hard to find near Cardiff these days, and we are proud to be one. The Queen B carries wedding hats, hatinators and fascinators all year round, not just for the summer weddings. Snoxell & Gwyther and Niche lead the collection, in shades from claret to quartz.
The hatinator has quietly taken over. Lighter than a full-brim hat, more presence than a fascinator, and it stays put through a windy church doorway. We stock them in depth, alongside classic wide brims for the racecourse and smaller fascinators for lighter dress codes.
Millinery has to be tried on. The same piece sits differently on every head, and matching colour to an outfit from a phone screen is a gamble. Bring your outfit to the boutique, or add millinery to your styling appointment and we will match shades in daylight.
Choosing millinery is mostly proportion. Petite frames suit a hatinator or fascinator rather than a wide brim, and taller wearers carry statement pieces easily. Glasses wearers should try smaller, higher-sitting styles first. The right angle transforms every piece, which is one more reason to fit millinery in a mirror rather than at a checkout.
After the occasion, store the piece stuffed with tissue in its box, away from sunlight, and it will be ready for the next invitation. Good millinery outlasts several outfits.
Mothers of the bride and groom, wedding guests and race-day dressers all shop this page. If the date is close, call us and we will tell you honestly what is in.
