Hat bars for weddings

A wedding moment your guests will wear home.

From the welcome party to the last dance, the hat bar gives guests something to do, something to celebrate and something to keep.

Plan Your Event

How the hat bar fits in.

Couples bring the hat bar into the weekend in different ways. Some open with it at the welcome party so guests wear their hats all weekend; others save it for the reception or the after-party. We style the setup to sit naturally within your design, whether that is a ranch, a tented garden or a black-tie ballroom.
