What you'll do:

Your bachelorette crew saddles up around a fully stocked hat bar, picks from a curated selection of cowboy hats in every shape, color, and size, then designs a custom hat from scratch with help from a Southern Salt stylist.

• Browse the hat bar – Choose from a wide selection of cowboy hats in every shape, brim width, and color, laid out at a mobile pop-up setup brought directly to your venue.

• Build your look – Layer on accessories from the full collection: bolos, charms, pins, bands, feathers, and florals, styled to match your party's theme — Desert Disco, Western Glam, Boho, or your own vision.

• Get it branded – Add a live hot-iron brand to your hat so every guest leaves with a keepsake that's distinctly theirs.

• Work with a stylist – A Southern Salt designer sits with each guest for roughly 15–20 minutes to guide the design process and make sure the final hat is exactly right.

• Toast the bride – Crack open the complimentary bottle of bubbly while the crew finishes designing and the photos start rolling.

Your whole group walks away with a custom cowboy hat they actually built — and a set of photos that document exactly how it happened.

Why we love it for your bachelorette party:

• Fully mobile setup – Southern Salt brings everything to your Airbnb, hotel, or venue, so your group doesn't have to go anywhere between activities.

• Theme-matched accessories – The accessory collection is curated to fit your party's aesthetic, so the hats look intentional in photos, not random.

• Every guest gets a turn – With a team of 2–5 designers on-site, wait times stay short and no one gets left sitting while others design.

• Keepsake built to last – A branded, hand-styled cowboy hat holds up well past the weekend — guests actually wear these again.

• Photo-ready from the start – The hat bar setup, the styling process, and the finished hats are all visually strong; no staging required.
