What is a wedding hat called?
1 Answer
A wedding hat is called a fascinator, which is decorative headgear worn on the top or side of the head. Fascinators are a high society fashion statement, where the headpieces worn at weddings try to compete with headgear seen at the royal weddings in the UK. Vintage and modern fascinators with feathers, lace, straw, beads and other decorative embellishments from top brands can be found on 1stDibs.
