Except for the ridiculously large one that one bride is wearing (the one with the green-and-brown, er, junior maids). It takes a very secure and VERY stately woman to pull off a 'do like that for more than a few pictures. Love!

Okay, that name is truly fascinating. I can't help but think that monicker was put in play to make a hair band or hat seem more sexy and decadent. Marketing at its very bridal best. :) Fascinators!

I think that must mean about 20 years or so? Anyway, I learned the term in Great Britain, in relation to the fancy creations people wear to weddings and such. Maybe there is term bleed-over within the wedding industrial complexes of the USA and the UK? I have known them as fascinators for as long as I have known they were a notable thing.

Me? I still call them hair ornaments most of the time, because I grew up knowing about fascinators. Still, whatever one chooses to call these, they can be utterly charming. @La BellaDonna: I suspect you are absolutely correct! Me?

And here I DID expect a review of fascinators! (The original kind, that is.) Why aren't these just ... hair ornaments? Which is exactly what they are. Some of the most elaborate ones may merit the term "headdress", another perfectly appropriate term. I suspect the truth is that they sell better with a snappy new label - always acceptable in the realm of fashion, and with centuries of precedence, to boot. Heh.
