Need fascinator and clutch to go with this dress! en>fr fr>en

Sorry for the poor quality picture - I was in the dressing room and taking the picture of myself :]

So these are the shoes and dress I'm wearing to my cousin's wedding in March in Ireland. The dress is actually a royal purple, NOT royal blue. The wedding is taking place at an abbey, so I got a black elbow-length satin shrug to go over it for the ceremony. Now all I need are the clutch and fascinator! I've looked around with the help of Jazzy, but nothing has been *perfect* yet.

The only requirements are that the fascinator be a clip (not a headband), be at least two of the colors (royal purple, black, champagne), and be more elegant than tweeney - I don't like huge ribbons or balls of puff on my head. And no mini top-hats. They scream "steam punk" to me. :] I'm looking to stay under $50 for each - clutch and fascinator.

I could wear dusky pink shoes instead of the gold. So if you find something perfect with dusky pink, that can work, too!

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

It's a shame it's purple. If it had been blue, peacock feathers would've been perfect. If you search "purple fascinator" on Etsy, you'll get over 3000 hits. It'll take a while to sift through, but I think it's worth it.

You still probably even have time for a custom made fascinator. Find a designer on Etsy or something like that that you like, and ask them for feathers/whatever that matches your dress and shoes. I did like this one shop.nordstrom.com . . . that martha posted. Is a comb ok? I might not be much help other than that because I really dislike the look of a large fascinator, I prefer a small/simple ones. Are you even the least bit crafty? They are so easy to make. I mean look at this one being sold for $30 www.etsy.com . . . you can get that flower at a craft store (or sew it yourself with some scrap fabric) and affix whatever stone you want in the middle. You could also just add some feathers around the outside. I like this one the best for your price range www.etsy.com . . . but you never know if you go to a craft store you might be able to find feathers like that with purple and pink in it.

Here are a few others that I like (and that I honestly think you could make if you have a hot glue gun, and a needle and thread, which is why I did link some over your price range)
