Re: Where to buy a hat?
364 I'd agree - I'm a walking charity outfit! Not for being suegra though
Don't think so. Wedding clothes shop? What that?
Wouldn't take the risk of not receiving it...please let's not wander off topic, but stuff just doesn't arrive where you expect it to in these parts. ....besides which I've got a big head (
) so wouldn't take the risk of something not fitting either
Not yet. I will, I will!!!

Having got married in Spain, there are loads of wedding clothes shops here. Eg. El Corte Ingles or Pronovios (I think that's what it was called).
But as I said earlier, Spanish people dont wear hats to weddings!

¿Qué? No replies?
Of course, the OP, fionamw, is entitled to wear the black mantilla and peineta at her son's wedding (as long as it is not a civil ceremony, I think, need to check on the protocol...)
She may even walk him down the aisle. However, all this might upset the bride, especially if the wedding takes place in the UK!
Here's a link which may be useful to fionamw (scroll down the page for info on the mantilla):

and another, for a laugh, or perhaps these things are taken very seriously? Apologies to those who may feel offended by what may be seen as flippancy:

Black mantilla? Don't make me the suegra negra too soon
nb the wedding is in the UK, and I think reasonably formal so a hat is still required!

Re: Where to buy a hat?
If the wedding is before 12noon, you may wear a mantilla clara - or at least a shade different to that of the bride's veil. How about a coloured mantilla to match your dress? Yeah, but not half as much fun as starting the search early on! Best wishes!Carol
