Fabulous Fascinator |

While trying on wedding gowns, my consultant, Michelle, asked if I’d like to try on a veil. I told her I was going sans veil, opting for just a flower in my hair. She ran away and came back with this adorable fascinator that looked fantastic with my dress. It was a white flower made of feathers and offered just enough bling to add some sparkle, but not blind my guests. But, I didn’t buy the headpiece because I figured for $50 I could buy something from Etsy that was handmade and better quality.
Plus, I wanted to check out my options. And options were aplenty when Orchid Boy and I took a trip to the Carolina Renaissance Festival in Huntersville. What Renn Faire isn’t complete with a shop offering feathered wares? When I spotted this artisan, Feathers for Pleasure, I hit the fascinator jackpot. I sent Orchid Boy off to go do boy things because I knew I’d be in there for a while.
My eyes immediately went for a bright blue piece and it looked fantastic. I then tried on a white feathered piece, with a hint of color provided by one single peacock feather. I weighed my options. I could go for the more bridal headpiece or my “something blue”.
I finally put down the “something blue” because all I could think of was Carrie Bradshaw’s dead blue bird a la the Sex and the City movie.
