What's smaller than a  hat and bigger than a barrette?  A fascinator. 

It's a headpiece, veil and super chic trend in bridal hair fashion.  The fascinator is commonly made with feathers, flowers and/or beads and attaches to the hair by a comb, headband or clip.  It's a great alternative to a bridal veil, especially if you're getting married outside where wind can be a factor. 

Facinators NYC has many from bridal fascinators to those for kids in a headband style-- so cute for flower girl  hair instead of a garland.
