After watching William and Kate’s wedding I have a new obsession and appreciation for great hats.  The wildly popular fascinators are more of an elaborate hair decoration than an actual hat, and a terrific accessory for more formal events.  For those of you searching for an alternative to the traditional veil, these fascinator-style options provide the bridal look without being overly fussy.
