The hats are back for 2011!!! Perhaps inspired by the royal wedding or maybe just a natural extension of the birdcage; whatever the case, one of the most fashion forward trends for brides today is a hat instead of a veil.
Some hats are more classic in form, while others are more whimsical, and some (called fascinators) are barely hats at all. One of the most daring statements that a bride can make to really spice up her wedding day look is to wear a stunning hat instead of a veil.
A fascinator is perfect for brides that like the idea of a non-traditional headpiece but not quite sure about an actual "hat". Almost as large as a hat but not quite is the best way to describe a fascinator. Worn perched on one side or pinned into the hair, these unique and quirky headpieces often feature details such as showy feathers, large silk flowers, and hints of sequin or beading. While striking, fascinators make less of a statement than a true hat, which makes them more versatile. A bride could wear a fascinator with anything from a formal beaded gown to a deconstructed tulle dress.
Whether you're a veil or hat girl, don't be afraid to think outside the box when considering all of the essentials for your wedding day.
