How To Style Our Sun Hats

Jayda Jalali • May 31, 2023

If you are a summer bride planning your bridal wardrobe, make sure to get a Personalized Sun Hat to elevate all of your looks! It is the perfect accessory to make a statement while also being practical and shielding you from the summer sun. It can be incorporated into so many bridal celebrations, like your bridal shower, bachelorette party, and honeymoon. You can even get these for each of your girls to match during some of the bridal festivities.

Each custom sun hat is available in white, blush, or tan and customized on top of the brim in a pretty black script font. *You can even customize the hats with fun sayings instead of a name.* Choose to add on pom poms or a black bow to make it even more unique. Here are some outfit ideas to help you style your custom sun hat throughout your bridal journey!

Engagement Photo Look:

Get excited about your future title while wearing our Sun Hat for your engagement photos. It is perfect to play around with & get some cute photos with. We love the kiss behind the hat pose for those couples that might be a little shy in front of the camera. All of your family and friends will love your gorgeous photos and the touch of including your future last name.

Bridal Shower Statement Piece:

The neutral color will match perfectly with whatever outfit you choose for your bridal shower. You can pair it with an all-white dress, pantsuit, or skirt. Finish it off with our Bride Straw Purse for a complete look. It’s so chic, you won’t want to stop taking photos!

Bachelorette Beach/Pool Party Outfit:

Our Sun Hats also make the cutest addition to your solo and group photos at the bachelorette party. The bride can stand out in our White Hat while your girls wear the Personalized Tan Hats. Style by wearing them with your swimsuit, cover-up, or any beach attire. Not only will you have an elevated summery outfit, but you will be protected from the sun all day long.

Bridal Brunch with your Girls:

Spend time with your girls while looking and feeling amazing. Dress up your Sun-Hat look with a flowy dress or dress it down with a more casual fit– like a nice blouse and denim jeans.

Honeymoon Trip Accessory:

If you are traveling somewhere tropical, sunny, or beachy, our Sun Hat is a must-have! Subtly show off your new last name while enjoying the views, relaxing by the water, and most importantly, while spending time with your partner. This also makes an adorable photoshoot accessory to wear and hold.

One of the great things about our Sun Hat is that it can complete your outfit on a fancy OR more casual occasion. The bride-to-be’s last name in pretty script font and effortless straw detailing helps bring any look together without being overbearing. It’s also a great accessory to gift to your girls so you can all match! We hope you gained some inspiration on how to style our Sun Hat from this list.

National Proposal Day!

Jayda Jalali • March 17, 2023

Happy National Proposal Day! March 20th is a special day many couples not only celebrate their marriage and relationship, but also when some decide to pop the question! Everyone’s proposal story is unique in its own way, filled with hard-hitting emotions. Here at Wedding Favorites HQ we love all wedding stories, so we decided to ask our followers to share theirs! Here are two proposals that we thought were special! (Plus a special surprise at the end!👀)

Proposal #1

“I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii and my boyfriend and I finally got a chance to go for an anniversary and Valentine’s Day. We both work in a hospital so we haven’t gotten a vacation since Covid-19. And then we got there. The next day he said he hired a photographer just for “fun” so I could keep the memory. He planned with the photographer how he was going to propose. He’s been planning this for 2 years… It was so perfect! ❤️”

-Brittany Barron

Proposal #2

“My fiancé and I started dating in 2020 and two weeks later I lost my mom. My fiancé was and is an absolute rockstar of a support system. We’re quite the crazy cat ladies so I knew I wanted to incorporate them into my proposal. So I bought the cat’s bandanas that said “will you marry my mama?” Long story short, the bandanas never made it on the cats (they were camera shy) and I got down on one knee and shouted “surprise!” Instead of “will you marry me?” Nevertheless, she said yes!

Two weeks after, her mom died 💔 We’ve been loving and supporting each other through these heartbreaks. That following October, I came home from work to a fall festival with a pumpkin saying “will you marry me” and it was my turn for my ring! I told her I’d have to think about it 😉 Wedding is set for April 27, 2024! We’d love to be featured to spread light through our heartache 💍🤍👰👰 #twobridesarebetterthanone”

2023 Wedding Trends

Jayda Jalali • March 03, 2023

A new year means new trends for future brides! After reviewing recent trends and considering timeless styles, we formulated a list of what we think brides will be doing more of this year! Here are our favorite 2023 wedding trends:

1. Terracotta Details

The copper, rust, and burnt orange tones aren’t going anywhere!⁠ There are many ways to incorporate this color into your wedding journey, whether it’s through flower arrangements or table decor. One of our favorite ways, however, is through the bridal party getting ready outfits! Items like our Ruffled Robe in Clay establish a warm and inviting ambiance all around. This color works throughout every season as its rich orange and earthy shades complement a vibrant summer or cozy fall celebration. Not to mention– terracotta elements will make any picture look lively regardless if it is taken outside against greenery or indoors against a wooden background.

2. Pearl Accessories

The infamous pearl veil & hairstyles went viral last year and we think they’ll be just as popular!⁠ Pearls are such a simple, yet effective way to elevate any bridal look. Brides can even add their own twist on unadorned items like our Sunglasses, Hats, and Veils by sticking any sized pearls over them. There’s a reason why brides have consistently been incorporating pearl details into their outfits–it will always look STUNNING!

3. Bridal Brunches

Brunches have always been trending, but use them to host your bridal showers & bridesmaid proposals for a fun twist! — 👰 @idelysr 📸 @bustabadcollective 🥂 @thebohomiaexperience

Brunches have always been a hit and are great for bridesmaid proposals or bridal showers. This is the perfect opportunity for everyone to share a delicious meal with their besties while celebrating the bride-to-be. It is also a fun way to dress up and take memorable photos. Spruce up the brunch by including unique decor and favors like our Personalized Flutes or Fans. Personalized touches and a creative presentation can go a long way in making everything look put together.

4. Fringe Pieces

Incorporate fringe statement pieces in your bridal wardrobe! — 👰 @morggss

Fringe is making a comeback! We think brides will start incorporating them into their bridal looks. Fringe detailing on an outfit can make a bold statement that screams bride! Whether your wedding theme is bohemian chic, modern, or rustic, fringe items like our Denim Jackets or Crochet Purses will fit it all. Fun, flirty, and festive–what’s not to love?!

5. Candid Photos

Natural-looking photos are in and more couples will want an editorial twist to their pictures. Don’t stress too much about how you plan to pose for your engagement or wedding photos– your authentic emotions will speak for themselves! Photographs of couples taking a walk, laughing, or doing an activity together are great ways to come up with candid pictures. Browse our more casual bridal wear that will easily complement a vision for relaxed and candid engagement photos. Recently, we’ve also noticed many prefer to have blurry or out-of-focus photographs. This further plays into this dreamy, impromptu look.

Put these ideas to use for your bridal journey in 2023! These growing trends will make your bridal outfits, photos, and wedding stand out while simultaneously fitting in beautifully!
