Bee Smith Millinery, established in 2010, designs and makes hats and headpieces for every occasion from Royal Ascot, through to Weddings, Christenings, Royal Investitures and Theatre.

Bee Smith’s studio is based in Kingston, Surrey, where she welcomes clients for individual styling. Her collections capture nostalgic glamour with hats to suit English elegance, with just a hint of eccentricity. Bee’s hats have received worldwide press and have been worn by many influential women, including members of the Royal family.

We offer hat hire for a long weekend (4 days), a week (7 days) or longer than a week (10 days) along with shorter hire for Royal Ascot.

We recommend you book at least 2 weeks before your event, to avoid disappointment.

Please note Royal Ascot gets booked up quickly, we would recommend booking 4 - 6 weeks ahead.

You are welcome to visit the studio to try on our hat hire range, before you make your choice.
