funking up a hat

[firinel.livejournal.com]

I'm a hat fan, I've got a bunch of them. I'm going the wedding of my fiance's friend, and was figuring what I'd wear. I got a hat that is really well made on sale (since everyone's getting rid of the summer hats), but it was really plain. I was planning on wearing my skirt made from a reclaimed silk sari, that's cream and has big flowers on it, so I knew I wanted a cream-ish flower for on it. I'm not frightened of huge flowers on hats, so I got this lovely hydrangea that came with gorgeous leaves. I cannabalized a hat I had I disliked for the ribbon that was the right shade and width.



That's my grandmother modeling it for me. she was nice enough to wear the hat while I decided where exactly to affix the flower to.
