The flowers, white hydrangea and handmade satin roses (possibly added at a later date) are attached at the left and right sides of the bonnet as well as under the brim at the top to frame the face when worn. The bonnet also features cream colored taffeta ribbon ties attached at the lower front. The ties are edges with straw braid and embroidered pink, green and white dots.
