Fresh as a morning in May, but with plenty of drama for evening, here’s a fascinator that can liven up a sundress or polish the look of a prom dress. It’s got lots of feathers, both in volume and variety, so it can hold its own nestled amongst a lot of hair. Go ahead — dance till dawn and wear it to breakfast, too.

She knocks, she waits, she pretends not to care if he answers. Nothing pushy here, just a sweet finishing touch. A true-blue silk flower with a few whisps of irridescent peacock feather and maribou, plus a tiny pouf of tulle, this mini-fascinator is equally at home at the prom, on bridesmaids, at the Dodger game… or visiting a “friend”.

Time was, a young man would place a blue cornflower in his lapel to indicate that he was unmarried. Hence, the name bachelor’s button. Who’s to say a girl can’t send a subtle message of her own? Nowadays, the cornflower stands for hope in love.
The pale green headband gives this fascinator the feel of summertime, and sets off the royal blue flower and feathers. A little touch of crystal to takes things up a notch. You may buy it to go with your prom or bridesmaid dress, but we guarantee you’ll be pairing it with sundresses and cutoffs all summer long.
