1950s Vintage Blue Floral Half Hat | Large Silk Flower Fascinator | Mid Century Garden Party Wedding Hat

Vintage 1950s Blue Floral Half Hat with Oversized Silk Flowers & Leaves – Union Made

Description

A wonderfully romantic circa 1950s floral half hat featuring an exuberant arrangement of oversized fabric flowers in layered shades of powder blue, pale aqua, and deeper periwinkle blue.

This sculptural mid-century design is constructed around a soft pale blue fabric-covered framework that curves around the sides of the head while leaving the center relatively open. Large layered blossoms dominate the crown, including a dramatic deep blue flower with dimensional stamens surrounded by softer pale blue petals. Variegated green fabric leaves peek from beneath the flowers, adding beautiful contrast and giving the hat the appearance of a small floral garden worn on the head.

The underside reveals the fascinating millinery construction, with a lightweight open framework of fabric-covered wire supports designed to hold the hat securely while maintaining its airy silhouette. The original Union Made in U.S.A. millinery label remains attached.

The combination of blue flowers, sculptural construction, and distinctly feminine silhouette makes this a particularly lovely example of postwar floral millinery. It would be beautiful for a spring or summer wedding, garden party, bridal event, Derby styling, vintage fashion photography, or a mid-century millinery collection.
