A Quick Look at the Royal Wedding Hats

May 17, 2011 in Accessories,Guests,Real Weddings,Weddings with 1 Comment

I did promise a while back that I’d have a look at the royal wedding hats before too long. Mostly because I myself love a good hat… and a bad hat, if it’s fancy and flashy enough! The royal wedding hats that played a starring role on the heads of Kate and William’s wedding guests definitely fall into both camps, from Princess Beatrice’s wild Cthulhu number to the Queen’s cheery yellow cake-like hat. If nothing else, some of the more spectacular royal wedding hats were gorgeously over the top and definitely eye-catching!

Would I wear them all? No. Do I love them all? Yes.

And had my own invitation to the royal wedding not gotten lost in the mail – damn the USPS! – I do believe I would have opted for something a bit more conservative than the head wear above. Perhaps something like this:

I'd be the bee of the ball!

Or this:

Maybe the bow of the ball?

    Some of the hats that were used by the guests in the Royal wedding were outrageous. Probably, they didn’t have any place to use them that is why they took the opportunity to showcase them. Although most of those who attended were rich, but I still can’t see myself wearing ridiculous hats to a wedding ceremony.
