Garden Party Hats

The British summer is made for Glyndebourne picnics, the Chelsea Flower Show and tea on the lawn at Buckingham Palace. These afternoons may invite a nod to formality, a relaxed femininity  and perhaps even a touch of romance. 

Lightweight, elegant, sometimes a little bit playful, Nerida Fraiman’s Garden Party Hat collection brings together wide-brimmed hats, sculptural styles and luxury headbands that sit happily through long, warm afternoons. Each piece is hand-made in London with care using traditional millinery techniques, and designed to look as beautiful in the photographs as it does in the garden.

If you need a helping hand, Nerida can advise you on the proper etiquette for your occasion. The atelier can also make your favourite hat in a colour to match what you’re wearing. Please Whatsapp or email us a picture of your outfit to begin a conversation.

Luxury occasion millinery for British summer events in London

British summer garden parties span a wide spectrum, from relaxed private celebrations to highly formal royal events at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Each setting calls for millinery that understands both etiquette and environment — elegant enough for formal occasions, yet practical for extended outdoor wear.

For the King’s Garden Parties in particular, hats must honour the formality of the setting while remaining comfortable through long afternoons standing and walking on lawns. This collection offers styles suited to that balance, including medium-scale disc hats that read beautifully against garden settings, classic pillboxes and berets for structured refinement, and substantial yet elegant hats that provide presence without excess.

For less formal summer parties, lighter options such as refined headbands, smaller fascinators and sun hat–inspired styles offer ease and versatility while maintaining a polished look. All designs are secured carefully for outdoor conditions, ensuring confidence in gentle breezes and movement through crowds.

Colour palettes embrace the optimism of the season, from soft pastels and floral-inspired tones to vivid brights and sophisticated neutrals. Each piece is handmade in our London millinery studio, with additional colourways available to order. Worldwide delivery is offered.
