This year marked the 4th Annual Hat Contest held in conjunction with our Annual Laguna Beach Garden Club Gate & Garden Tour. We were once again thrilled have Ally Cook, milliner extraordinaire and owner of Lucky Cowboy Custom Hat Bar (@luckycowboy__), as the Chair of the tour’s Hat Contest. Lucky Cowboy Hat Bar is an elevated bespoke experience where every custom hat tells a story. Her style and experience truly leveled-up, creating a fun experience to delight our guests.
There were 4 hat categories this year were:
- Silver Linings – Soft whites, light textures, airy & elevated
- Tides & Textures – Coastal elements, organic movement
- Whimsy & Wonder – Playful, imaginative, unexpected
- Western Chic – Modern western, natural textures & details
See our contest winners below!
