WHAT IS A
FASCINATOR?

A fascinator is a decorative hat or
headband usually worn at formal events such as weddings, christenings or the races
as that perfect finishing touch.

All of our fascinators are hand-made, with
each piece being intricately hand-trimmed,
making every one completely unique.

How do I wear a
fascinator?

As a general rule of thumb a fascinator
should always be worn over the right eye
and not covering too much of your face.

One size does fit all but make sure to play
around with the position to where feels
comfortable for you.

Top tip: An easy way to see which way round
to wear a style, is to ensure that the binding
seam is positioned at the back.

Should I choose
a headband or
hat for formal
occasions?

Whether you choose a larger more
statement style such as a hat or a more
understated headband, the same rule
applies.

Both styles are comfortable enough for
wearing all day and night.

Make sure to check the dresscode of the
event you are attending.

What fascinator
style do I choose
for my hairstyle?

For a shorter style you may opt for a
smaller or more minimalist design but go
with your personal preference!

Should my
fascinator
match
my dress
or shoes?

As far as matching your fascinator goes,
it’s all about having fun with your look!

Some of our fascinators are designed
specifically with a certain style or print in
mind for a flawless look.

However, there are no hard and fast rules
- go for a full head-to-toe monochromatic
look or tie your headpiece back to smaller
details.
