ROYAL WEDDINGS: MILLINERIES, HATS TO LOOK OUT FOR

There’s still so much to do before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding! Between predictions and preparations, we are especially looking forward to the wedding guest fashion extravaganza and when it comes to royal wedding guest attire, fascinators are the most important accessory.

For some women it represents a status symbol or honoring tradition, for others it's pure fun. Depending on the event, there’s often an unspoken competition for best fascinator or headpiece, and that’s where the fun ensues. Some of my customers wear them as a form of self-expression, especially the more elaborate and artistic pieces. A great headpiece is like a fab pair of Louboutins.

Hats and fascinators are a high-society staple across the pond, but with an American as the bride, and many American wedding guests, will the accessory still reign supreme?
