There is no more perfect time to truly get your glam on than when your child or stepchild is getting married. We already dived into how to do modern mother of the bride or groom dressing here, but if you are you looking to elevate your outfit to the next level, a striking headband, headpiece or a hat with wow factor is ideal. If you want to buy a special headpiece, we have a great post on the best places to do that here. However, as these are usually wear-once items, you might not see the value in splasing out on bespoke headwear, and that's totally fine. But budget aside, choosing to hire a hat or headpiece, as the mother of the bride is a very sustainable approach to dressing.

Instead of compromising on your style, you can still achieve full elegance and glamour by choosing to hire a designer mother of the bride hat or headpiece. Ireland's top milliners now offer rental services giving you the glamorous excuse to wear lots of beautiful styles for different occasions, at a fraction of the cost! With that in mind, we've compiled an extensive list of the best places to hire a spectacular mother of the bride hat, headpiece or headband in Ireland and the UK from incredibly talented designers, milliners and boutiques.
