Royal Wedding part two saw Zara Philips wed rugby player Mike Tindall in a much more down to earth wedding ceremony than the previous London extravaganza. The ceremony may have been low key but the hats on show were just as impressive and I think that nearly everyone improved on their previous efforts. To compare the brides outright would be mean as they both looked amazing on their very different wedding days but I will be Crass enough to compare tiaras.
Kate Middleton's tiara was her "something borrowed" as it was loaned to her by the Queen as is tradition at royal weddings and though it was very princessy I must say I prefer Zara Philips almost celtic crown known as the Meander Tiara which was originally given to Queen Elizabeth by her mother-in-law, Princess Alice of Batternberg, who then passed it on to Princess Anne, Zara's mother.
Next up is Mother of the Bride, Princess Anne, whom after wearing a stunning purple hat at Kate's wedding opted for an almost Japanese looking small flower which matched her lovely red floral outfit. Though it can't really be classed as a hat I can't say anything bad about Princess Anne as she is one of my favorites so hat or no hat I think she looked lovely (and a bit like an older version of my mum).
After the disaster that has since been daubed hat-gate I'm sure the sisters grim had many sleepless nights over what to wear to round two and came up with the sly plan of swapping colours to thoroughly confuse all of us who really aren't very sure which one is which. Both did a much better job this time however and I think that Eugenie (the one in blue last time, brown this time) should tell all those who are making fun of her new hat to take a hike as I think it looks fab (I also think she is starting to look a lot like her mother which is something no 21 year old wants to hear).
The winning hat of the day however was a tie between The Countess of Wessex' big slanty, swirly flower number and some bird from Corrie who wore an AMAZING big orange hat. Top marks to both.
These however were not the only hats on the day so below are some others that caught my eye on non-famous types.
This hat gets a spot of it's own for being one of the few big hats of the day.
