Hi everyone and Linda who asked

regarding the feathered 'hats'
 What did other viewers think?

 Yes, what did other viewers think ?

I do not have tv, and even if so, would not have watched this wedding -
but the photo of the principals was on my home page news, and an enticing
link to a feature on the feathers, with one photo - I thought the new Mrs.
Charles looked really elegant (I confess I wondered what system of corsets
she might have used - *I* would like to look as good). I for one was
impressed she'd got good advice about her hair. I thought the swirl of
feathers she wore as headgear was stylish and flattering - however,
hearing that the ends were weighted with crystals made me think quite
possibly they'd bob around as she moved, which I'd find irritating to
watch.

I then went to another link where some of the extreme feathered attire of
the guests was described, but the only photo was of Zara, who chose to
wear a dark fedora. I thought *she* looked stylish and elegant, just the
same - a youthful protest against the frippery, no doubt - go youth.

As I can't think of anything else that might be considered 'nice' about C
 C, I won't say anything more...
:p

 (snip)
 Camilla's first hat was described as being
 a straw hat covered with French lace  it was quite elegant.
 Then when she appeared at the chapel with what I would've
 called grass instead of feathers I was a little disappointed.
 I would have chosen something more befitting of a Duchess.

Soon - I hope - the official wedding photographs will come out, and then I
hope to get a closer view, and one in better focus than you get in a
newspaper or on the television screen.  The first hat definitely had some
sort of stiff framework, and a covering of lace, but I haven't been able to
see the kind of lace yet, only that it seemed to be floral.  The second hat
has been described as an 'alternative tiara', being gold with Zwarovski
crystals.  Again, I'd love to get a close up of that one - it looked so
attractive.

Also, I liked the way her outfit for the Service of Prayer and Dedication
seemed to compliment Saint George's Chapel, being a similar light grey to
the stone, with accents of gold, and having the same sort of line as a
fifteenth-century houppeland.
