Glasgow’s Hummingbird Hen Party – more fascinator making fun
Kirsty organised a great afternoon with Laura and her hens, in the ultra stylish Hummingbird in Glasgow. Kicking off the party with a delicious afternoon tea, the girls each made a beautiful unique fascinator – their designs were totally individual and chic. The afternoon had a lovely buzz while they sewed, chattered, giggled and sipped champagne. Here are some photos of the lovely ladies at their class:...
Read MoreAlmu’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:...
Read MoreAfternoon Tea and Fascinator Making in the Howard Hotel
Cakes, scones, sandwiches, mini creme brûlées and mousses, limitless tea….shall I go on? Hungry yet??! We recently had the pleasure of running a Luxury Fascinator Making class for Rachel’s hen party in the beautiful Howard Hotel in Edinburgh’s New Town – renowned for it’s fabulous Afternoon Tea. The girls had all come up by train from Northern England to spend Rachel’s hen weekend in Edinburgh and were all on great form! They all got very creative during the class and made very unique, beautiful fascinators which they were all going to wear out into town that evening. The bride-to-be Rachel made a stunning coral and purple fascinator to go with a beautiful coral dress that she was wearing out to dinner that night. As if being surrounded by good friends and mountains of gorgeous fabrics, sinamays, brooches, sparkles wasn’t enough, the girls also indulged in a delicious Afternoon Tea served by some lovely, friendly “butlers” in the Howard who looked after the girls very well and made sure the tea never ran out! The girls have kindly let us share some of their photos so you can see some of the amazing pieces that they...
Read MoreMad Hatters Hen Party Fascinator making class!
Now THIS will put a smile on your face! As you may or may not know, we occasionally run “themed” fascinator making classes if the hen party in question has a particular theme to it. We were contacted by Lynnette who asked if we could run a “Mad Hatter Tea Party” style fascinator making class for Pip’s hen party in Glasgow, a chance which we of course jumped at! We had so much fun designing some fabulous Mad Hatter style fascinator for the ladies to make and added in some great Alice in Wonderland style props for the day (here’s a sneak preview of some of the designs – amazing, no..?! 😉 ) The hen party class was run in their flat in Glasgow and Arabella Bridal’s lovely Danielle went along armed with our Mad Hatter props and designs as well as mountains of materials for the ladies to choose from. They all had lots of fun and made some brilliant Mad Hatter style fascinators which all looked great! They really got into the swing of it and got really creative with some oversized Alice in Wonderland style bows, some mini top hats and plenty of crazy buttons and sparkle! Johnny Depp would be proud…. 😉 Here are a few shots of the lovely ladies having fun and proudly displaying their...
Read MoreCoral and Green fascinator heaven – hen party in Glasgow’s Bearsden.
We ran a fantastic hen party fascinator making workshop in a beautiful house in Bearsden in Glasgow recently. Bedecked in stylish coral and green, the fabulous colour scheme for Caroline’s wedding. Marnie and the rest of the hen party got stuck right in making all sorts of fascinators, from birdcage veils to a fabulous multicoloured creation with a little lilac lace train by Marnie’s daughter. A few of the girls got very creative and incorporated some pretty little crocheted butterflies that Marnie had decorated the table with – really cute! The workshop ended with an awesome lunch provided by caterers…and the dancing was just getting started just as we left…a fantastic morning! Thanks so much for the girls – we had such good...
