Fascinators the new trend for America?





Among all the talk of the Royal Wedding there seems to be a few parts of the British traditions that us Americans are intrigued by. One of those things being fascinators.

A fascinator is a headpiece made of feathers, lace, or other fine fabrics worn by woman in place of a hat. All the coverage of these fascinators really makes me wonder if it will be all the rage this next year here across the pond. We have already started wearing more elaborate headbands and I believe this Royal Wedding might just make fascinators the newest trend for formal events.

Here are some great examples that you may want to use on your bridesmaides or even for yourself when attending a wedding. These fascinators are made by some very talented ladies selling their work on Etsy.

Have a look!
