Almu’s Dunblane Fascinator Making Hen Party Fun!

We set off for Dunblane last weekend to run a Luxury Fascinator Making class for the lovely Almudena and her hens. The fascinator making class was being held in the lovely Westlands Hotel which was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and gorgeous decor. We were very impressed to discover that two of the ladies were in fact Captains of aircraft – very cool! After some instruction, the ladies set to work and we soon discovered that they were a very creative bunch of hens indeed. They came up with some stunning designs and each of their fascinators were very different. Their designs ranged from a statement royal blue feather fascinator, to an elegant pastel pink piece, a gorgeous black and green feathery fascinator to a “boho” pleated pastel design. They also enjoyed a delicious spread of food put on by Jody and her mum. Jody’s little boy even joined in for a short while and we helped to make him a little Red Indian feather head piece!

They were such a lovely group of hens and we loved running the fascinator making class for them. Here are some snaps of the afternoon and their creations:

Hen Parties

We were the first business in Scotland to offer fascinator making classes for hen parties so have lots of experience and know what makes a fantastic afternoon for you and your hens! Our fascinator making classes are a brilliant idea for hen parties in Edinburgh and hen parties in Glasgow. They are a great way to spend a few hours for those looking for a craft based hen party. You can choose to have the fascinator making class in one of our venues in Edinburgh or Glasgow where you can enjoy afternoon tea, sandwiches, cakes and tea or even champagne while you make your own fascinator or at your own venue allowing you the freedom to eat and drink whatever you like whilst the hens create their fascinators. We shall consider any locations across Scotland, not just in Edinburgh and Glasgow, so just get in touch to check availability. We are always happy to taylor classes to your style, budget and likes so don't be afraid to ask questions!

Other celebrations

Although our fascinator making classes are most popular with hen parties, we have also run them for a birthday parties, as part of a creative birthday celebration, for a girls day out where the girls enjoyed a fascinator making class before heading off to a spa for the afternoon, and for an antenatal group afternoon out where the mums-to-be got together and made something for them to wear on their next night out. It's fun to combine the fascinator making class with another activity - why not do a fascinator making class before all going out for dinner, do the fascinator making class before heading to a Ladies Day at the races, or have a morning in the spa before relaxing with afternoon tea whilst making a fascinator?

Timing and special themes

Timing - Classes usually last between 2 and 3 hours. We can do our best to shape the fascinator making class as you want it, so if you want it to be shorter or longer just let us know but we tend to find that between 2 and 3 hours is just right. Obviously this varies from group to group and indeed person to person depending on their experience and chosen designs. If you have any questions about the classes at all just get in touch via our contact page. Special themes - if your hen party or other celebration has a particular theme - whether that's a colour theme, a particular era or style, we can try to bring along the appropriate materials for the fascinator making class to fit in with your theme (we do need a minimum of 3 weeks notice to do this). Again, if you have any questions, just get in touch.
