While trends come and go, wedding traditions date back to the beginning of history. The bridal veil originated as a symbol of youth and virginity, but today the lifting of the veil, for that first kiss, is symbolic of the removal of the last barrier between herself and her spouse-to-be.

When Kate Middleton married Prince William last year, her guests wore fascinators and created a flurry of attention. This may have changed the course of bridal head wear, for many years to come.
But, did you know that the fascinator has roots back to 180o’s in England? Originally a headpiece, it referred to a fine, lacy head covering much like a shawl, that was made from wool or lace, but laden with feathers. It was historically worn on special occasions as an alternative to the traditional hat.

A modern day fascinator is larger than a hair clip and can sport feathers, flowers, beads or beautiful fabric and it is attached to the hair with a comb, headband or hair clip. Brides are wearing them as an alternative to a veil or hat especially if she is wearing a non-traditional wedding gown.
