About this Experience
What you'll do:
You'll pick your hat, load it up with personality, and walk away wearing something nobody else has — because you built it yourself. Southern Salt's custom hat design workshop puts you in the driver's seat: choose your base hat, then layer in charms, pins, feather trim, bands, and more from their extensive accessory inventory.
Pick your hat – Start with a blank canvas by selecting your base hat style from Southern Salt's available options.
Build your design – Browse a full inventory of accessories — charms, pins, feather bands, and more — and arrange them until your hat looks exactly right.
Get it branded live – A Southern Salt artist adds your initials or a custom symbol directly to your hat while you watch, making the finished piece completely yours.
Toast the occasion – A complimentary bottle of bubbly is included for the group, with non-alcoholic options available for anyone who prefers them.
Celebrate your guest of honor – If someone in your crew is celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, or other milestone, they receive a 10% discount on their hat.
Every person leaves with a fully custom hat they designed from scratch — and the satisfaction of having made something with their own hands. It's a creative group experience that doubles as a keepsake.
Why we love it for your party:
All-inclusive pricing – The fixed per-person rate covers the hat, accessories, live branding, and setup, so there are no surprise costs on the day.
Live custom branding – Having initials or a symbol pressed onto a hat in real time is the kind of detail guests talk about after the event is over.
Large accessory inventory – With charms, pins, feathers, bands, and more to choose from, no two hats in the group will look the same.
Guest of honor discount – Brides, birthday celebrants, and anyone being feted gets 10% off, making this easy to position as a gift within the experience.
Expert creative support – Southern Salt's team guides the design process, so guests who aren't "crafty" still end up with something they're proud to wear.
