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?

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.

You should give it a go, Jyoan. Completely changes the outfit and makes you look 10 times better
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.

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!
