What is a Fascinator?
By definition, A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. They are also called a cocktail hat and are typically worn to formal occasions like a wedding.

Many of the guests at the Royal Wedding will be decked out with a Fascinator. These totally remind me of Carrie Bradshaw a la Sex and the City! It’s probably why I adore them ๐

Are You Brave Enough?
Well, are you? I think it takes a lot of guts to wear one. I think they are simply marvelous!

Where Else Would you Wear a Fascinator?
Besides the Royal Wedding of course! I was thinking they would look fab at a Kentucky Derby party. A spin off on the big Derby hats.

I love the first one kate is wearing. I’d wear one, but American’s don’t seem to know how to so the hats like the British, so save a wedding, church, and a Derby party, I have no idea where I’d wear it to.
I love it too! Americans don’t seem to have that same touch of class/elegance that goes along with wearing them.
I thought a fun bridal luncheon shower would be a great place to wear one also!
My wedding on October 1st is themed ‘Garden Party Chic’. I am encouraging all my guests to wear Kentucky Derby style hats or fascinators!!! What fun!
