Wedding Season
Mood: Content

Its that time of year again...wedding season! If you pay close attention you can hear the bells ringing, see the rice flying in the air and smell the roses of ridiculously expensive bridal bouquets. This year is especially special as we have all just witnessed the most famous wedding of recent memory...the Royal Wedding of Kate and William!
And due to the fabulousness of the Royal Wedding and the rekindling of my lifelong obsession with Royals, I have been inspired! Especially in terms of fashion and specifically, headgear for the church ceremonies! I am desperate for an uber fashionable fascinator a la Victoria Beckham or Princess Beatrice (I liked her hat okay!). However, being as I live in Canada, it would be pretty hard to pull this off:
...so I must instead settle for a more subtle and small "pseudo fascinator".
I have been looking everywhere for them and the place I have had the most luck (not including vintage and boutique shops in the city) is at Aldo Accessories. There are black or white ones that are attached to a headband that would be convenient, or ones that just clip or pin into your hair with one large feather in the middle.
I recently bought a dress for the church ceremony from BCBG that is a blue/silvery colour and since I will be attending church earlier in the day, I am thinking of going with white.
UPDATE: I came to the conclusion that the more real fascinators looked like either bridal wear or funeral apparel so instead, I chose this cute feather to wear and it was such a hit!
It worked well with my outfit for the church ceremony. Got lots of looks and compliments! Will definitely have to rock it again at the next wedding...

Oh and on the topic of the Royal Wedding, I had to add this funny picture that people have been sharing on Facebook:
I'd just like to point out that it is completely inaccurate to the actual Disney movie in terms of colours; Prince Charming's suit was white/beige and the step sisters' dresses were green and purple (and not nice to compare poor Beatrice and Eugenie to them!!!). Funny though, nonetheless and I appreciate the comparison to my favourite movie of all time :)
