Fascinator colour advice!

I have a wedding in a few weeks. Am wearing a kitri long v neck dress and cream jacket. The dress is a baby pink base with green and red cherries. I need a fascinator to wear but am a bit stuck in what colour to go with. I have some gold Bobbies sandals Any thoughts ? I’ve been looking at bright pink but not sure it won’t be the wrong colour !! I also don’t want to spend too much on something I’m unlikely to wear again !

Lovely outfit.

I'd try the sage green for the fascinator (I'd actually go much bigger but that's me) and a gold clutch to match the shoes.

Thankyou that’s where I’m leaning ! Was worried it’s a bit busy. I’ll happily consider a bigger hat ! But can’t thinking ever wear again so trying to be a bit more sensible!

I'd pick a hat that matched the red of the cherries 🍒 in the fabric. You could try John Lewis, they usually have some reasonably priced hats. Look on line if you don't have a JL store nearby.

ok bit of a combo - this one ?

Oh yes, I like the red with green hat.

I think the green hat with the pink ribbon is a bit too fussy and overpowering for your outfit, you want a hat that will show off the lovely fabric of your dress to advantage.

Gorgeous dress OP! I like both caprilite options but with such a lovely outfit I would be heading to my nearest hat hire place and seeing what they can come up with , I have had some stunners on hire in the past and no guilt that it won’t be worn again ! Too risky ordering from a random web image for colour matching purposes .

What colour bag? You could match it to that?
I’d be aware of not trying to wear too many colours.
Or you could go for cream with a dash of one of the base colour feathers on it.

This one. It will go great with the dress.

lovely dress 👗

thekingfisher · 05/06/2025 08:33

Thankyou all. I ordered the last red and green one. It comes today so will see if it’s a goer or not. If not I think will try a hire place as was suggested up thread!

my bag is a small gold one which will go with shoes. Bar the church we will then be at a venue where I am staying so don’t envisage lugging bag around with me much !

The dress is lovely OP, but do you NEED a fascinator? They are pretty old fashioned.

Here we go - I think it works well enough I’ve got jacket half on half off just for contrast. But pretty pleased for £30 quid and came in 2 days !
