Tim and I was at the Vue at Halcyon on Saturday for a friend’s wedding. Now if you’ve been following me on Twitter and Facebook, you may remember my asking a question or two on whether it’s appropriate to wear a fascinator to a wedding. I’ve never even been to the races before so the concept of wearing one was foreign to me.
The answer to wearing a fascinator was a resounding yes!
Norlin and LeGeeque helped me to choose the perfect fascinator to go with my dress. Nothing too big or flashy as it was my first time. I ended up getting one from Fashion Addict. It was affordable (certainly cheaper than if I were to make one myself) and looked better in real life than it did in pictures.
I’ve never done an outfit post before, so please excuse the awkward posing 😛
The funny thing was, I ended up being the only person wearing a fascinator at the wedding!
I kept my makeup simple that day; neutral makeup, liquid eyeliner, loads of mascara, rosy blush and lipgloss was enough to complete the look.
Jacket: Zara
Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA (reduced from $250 to $15. Score!)
Clutch: Colette
Ring: YSL
Fascinator: Fashion Addict
Photobooths at a wedding? Best idea ever!
So, has the weekend convinced me that I should wear fascinators to weddings from now on? You bet your bottom dollar it has. Especially with spring racing season just around the corner, I’m having a good time at the shops trying on flowers, feathers and nets on my hair! 🙂
Have you worn a fascinator before? Looking forward to the racing season, perhaps? 😉
you looked so good!
Thanks Su 🙂
u looked great! share more pics 😉
Aww thanks PJ! 🙂
I think this blue is your colour! 🙂 You look absolutely lovely and that dress? SCORE!
Aww thanks! My aunt got me the dress from the US. I almost forgot about the wedding, and had to rummage the ‘robe for any ol’ dresses that I haven’t worn in a while. Noticed this one still had the tag on it. Yikes 😛 Saw the price tag, the marked down price and my jaw dropped 😛
I love your jacket, such good taste!!! xx

Thanks Gio! Have you worn a fascinator before? Do people wear it to weddings? 😛
No, I haven’t yet. I love fascinators but they’re hard to come by here. They’re not very popular and rarely worn, not even at weddings, which is a shame. But I definitely plan to buy a fascinator when I should find one I like.

The fascinator looked really gorgeous on you!
Thanks Emy! 😀
NICE !!!
Thank Bugs 😀
Woot woot! Looking very beautiful! I’ve never worn one either, so kudos to you. I’m a bit like you, I’m a little intimidated 🙂
And the fact that no one else wore one and you still left feeling like you’d wear one again is fantastic. Good for you!

Thanks Kaye! I didn’t think I’d be the only one who wore a fascinator to the wedding. It was a Chinese wedding, but they had a lot of Australian guests as well and I thought they would have worn one! 😛
Oh, you look so lovely! The fascinator is gorgeous and it completed your whole look! 🙂
Aww thanks Issa. It definitely was a very different look for me, and I loved it 😀
You look stunning Tine! That dress was such a steal, well done! I am wearing a head piece to my friends wedding in December and am excited about it, think I am wearing pink which is a bit different as well.

Ooooh very nice Em! Take heaps of pictures and this goes without saying – blog about it! 😀
You look fantastic!! Here in Spain where I live, EVERYONE wears a fascinator to a wedding. It’s a trend that started a while back in some cities and now has extended to the whole country. I know a few designers that are make a living thanks to fascinators!
Thanks Lara 🙂
