Royal Hats 
Hmmm, not sure about the Cynthia Jones Bryson. Feathers in those vivid colors look a little Muppet-y, although I can see one of the bolder royal hat wearers (Max) carrying it off. Something about the flying bow of the Michelle Kearns reminds me of an infamous royal wedding hat from 2011. This one is more successful! Lovely detail on the Lucy Bowler percher. Love the wave effect of the Maxim Kobe cloche.
Great to see the family photos.
I just realized why I picked the Cynthia Jones Bryson for Max: she’s gone for these colors before!

Also, forgot to say how much I like the rainbow confetti trim on Sarah Cant‘s design.
