What Occassion do you think is perfect for a hat? Do you think it’s odd if there’s no headwear at a wedding? Do you think it’s odd if there is?
Do you always wear a hat in the sun?

On 1st June, I embarked on a journey back to the 90s with an incredible RnB-themed hen do/bridal photoshoot, AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS.

For the curved fan piece

I started by layering a vibrant lime green and darker green tulle, before shaping the piece into a a layered fan with curves and edges. The lines are accentuated with satin ribbon strips and rhinestone gems all leading from a flowing cluster of gems at the top crown corner.

Further wavy satin ribbons were added once they had been moulded and were dry.

The headband is intended to give the impression of a headscarf, but is stretchy for security and ease.

The TLC Type BIGGIE Bow

Again layered shades of bright green, but this time the look was created by fusing together sheets of sinamay fabric. The size of the bow was really important when considering balance with the model's features so as to look intentionally bold, but not uncomfortable or a caricature statement.

The bow was shaped, moulded and stiffened before being fixed to a velvety headband and decorated with a few carefully placed gems. To tie in the look to the fan piece, the wavy ribbon was added as a finishing touch.
