Fabulous Fascinators (and some hats, too)
Our girl Kate Middleton loves hats and fascinators, and I hope it’s a trend that catches on – hats with the sole purpose of adding a little fun to your head!
How about a little fabulous for the bride?

I am so wearing hats to weddings from now on. Maybe something a little bit wild…

So funny that with all the Royal Wedding fever WellWed Magazine is holding its own royal event, the annual Hamptons Wedding Affair. Located at Brecknock Hall in Greenport, NY this luxury bridal event is true vintage-Americana–an event not to be missed! For more information visit http://www.aweddingaffair.com/hamptonsweddings/details Look forward to seeing all of you beautiful brides there!
I can’t wait to see the big event- going to a lunch for SF Bride Magazine- Love the hats- I’m sure we;ll see plenty of them tomorrow- thanks for the inspiration
Ugh. Hats and fascinators are just so incredibly chic. I am in love!
I absolutely ADORE hats, own several, and wear them whenever an opportunity presents itself.
However, perhaps it’s just a U.S.A. thing, but two summers ago, I wore a hat to a wedding and the bride’s mother asked me to remove. =/ She said it looked like my ensemble was competing with the bride’s headpiece. I’m chalking it up to her being a total jerk. I haven’t ever read or heard anything in MIss Manners that said hats at weddings were inappropriate.
Anyhoo – yes to more hats!!!!
Love the Noel Stewart hat!! Gorgeous!

Yes, I need a fabulous hat stat! My sister is getting married in London after all, you gotta do as the locals do!
I am completely over the moon for fascinators, and I can’t wait until I have a wedding or two (or some other excuse) to wear one at! I just love the black-feathered fascinator Kate is wearing in the lower right-hand picture. I really hope they take off in America post-royal wedding!
Fabulous collection you’ve shared here! Can’t wait to see what head “adornments” all the wedding guests will be wearing!
These are all so fun and stylish! I wish that wearing hats was popular in the states! If it were I would definitely have a large collection :) Check out my blog for some Vera Wang wedding inspiration!

Life is too short to worry about what others think – Be bold, be brave, do what makes you feel good! Don’t worry about it being trendy or popular. I always suggest starting off with a small flower, and as time goes by start wearing larger and bolder headpieces.
If you simply can’t resist donning a huge hat, hold a High Tea Hat party.
Long live hats!

I’m in. I love these! I’ll TOTALLY wear a hat to the next wedding if you will. Now, all we need is somebody else to get married!
Being from Scotland, I wouldn’t be seen dead without a hat at a wedding. Which ended up looking a bit odd at my American cousin’s wedding in Chicago 2 years ago when I was the only person wearing a huge hat. No one there seemed to understand why I was wearing one.
I am so excited about this and truly hope it takes off. I think I might have to start wearing them to weddings to see if I can help add to this trend. So much fun!!
I desperately want to be a hat person! Maybe I should move to England and work on honing that skill…
Fascinators are Fabulous!
