Do people still wear fascinators to weddings?

I am going to a wedding on Saturday and I just wondered if people still wear fascinators or are they naff?? The wedding is being held in a very lovely venue and I am sure there will be some very well dressed people there. I didn't know anyone else who is going as it is my DH's work colleague who is getting married.

From my Facebook feed, I would say yes.

I'm quite fond of a fascinator myself Wink
They probably aren't in fashion anymore but who cares?
Wear what makes you happy I say.

No.

I have just been to a very stylish wedding & the answer is definitely no.

So what is the way to go these days regarding head wear for weddings.

Watching with interest before I dust off my fascinator for a wedding in a few weeks. Dh absolutely detests it, but it makes me feel more dressed up for a wedding.

I ditched fascinators in the last decade then moved to flouncy flowers.

Past the age of the invites now - so following Grin

Are fascinators ever okay ? On anyone ? Even the most stylish celeb ?? I think they are a strange and slightly cringy fashion that people just fall for. Confused

So what do we wear instead of a fascinator?

A hat!! Wear an actual hat. I love hats.

A hat or get your hair done with a statement hair hair accessory. Not a fascinator.

Yes, a hat. Fascinators died a death when they were banned from the Royal Enclosure at Ascot.

Some people suit hats, Some don't. Wear what you prefer.

How long is your hair? My hairdresser is doing a very complicated up-do (looks like a big bow) for my stepbrothers wedding this summer.

I do like my fascinators but this wedding will be a bit too stylish.

Now WHERE are people getting reasonably priced wedding hats from? I love hats (DH thinks are VILE, I mean not like I care, but it's good to have someone going 'Darling, don't you look LOVELY in that fluttery expensive hat' rather than retching in the umbrella stand etc.)

But I want one that is not a granny hat but is not £500. Or even £100. Maybe about £80.

Everyone else seems to find cute little pillboxes etc but WHERE?

Google Annie Lennox speaking to the Queen about fascinators! I'd say they are a firm NO!
