It's customary for brides to walk down the aisle wearing a sweeping white dress and matching veil. Well, it was.
Now, modern brides are switching up the wedding day style rules, banishing traditional wedding dresses for jumpsuits, capes and colour, as well as ditching veils for flower crowns or bedazzled headbands.
And, the sartorial alternatives just keep on coming.
From sleek white fedoras to floppy straw styles, bridal hats are the new 'it' wedding accessory pinned to the top of the modern bride-to-be's Pinterest board. The Most Curious Wedding Fair, which took place earlier this month, further confirmed the rise of bridal hats.
Emily Ratajkowski first bought the trend to our attention back in February 2018 when she married Sebastian Bear-McClard at New York City Hall in a very unconventional outfit.
The ensemble consisted of a £120 mustard suit from high-street shop Zara and a wide-brim black fedora hat adorned with a mini veil.
Millie Mackintosh quickly followed suit, opting for a similar bridal ensemble when she wed Hugo Taylor in August 2018.
But, the 29-year-old managed to put a tradition spin on the suit and hat combination, sticking to an all-white colour scheme.
The 'gram has also been filled with fashion-forward brides rocking the new must-have accessory.
For ultimate inspo check out fashion influencer and hat enthusiast, Quigley Goode, who serves up numerous perfect bridal looks featuring extra large panama hats.
If you're feeling brave, you could make a real show-stopping entrance in an extra large straw hat like Danish model Emma Leth, who paired a Jacquemus headgear with a see-through wedding dress in June last year.
Bridal hats, like veils, just much cooler.
