Joan Strong recently attended her son's wedding in Australia, and she purchased the fabulous 'Carnival' fascinator from Samantha Abbey who runs her showroom from Long Marston, York. The fascinator went perfectly with Joan's outfit, and Joan said, "It was a roaring success, much admired and talked about! Thank you."
A fascinator is ideal for weddings in hot countries abroad as not only are they cooler than a full blown hat, you can also put them in your suitcase!
If you would like to visit Sam please telephone 01904738656.
