Fascinator Making Class Photos
Hen Party in Leith – fascinator making in the Granary
We held another of our very popular fascinator making classes recently in the function room of the Granary in Edinburgh’s lovely Leith area. The hens were tucking into a delicious buffet when we arrived and enjoyed their food and drink while we taught them how to make some lovely fascinators. Some of the hens chose to design their own and got very creative with lots of attention to detail – sewing beads onto the delicate netting that we had brought along and mixing textures for an interesting finish. Others chose to stick to the designs that we had brought along for them to copy and they all worked away for a couple of hours with Hannah helping them with their creations. As this was one of our mini classes, the hen party had two hours to make their designs and all did really well managing to create some fantastic fascinators in the time they had. The function room was quite dark so we had to be a bit creative with our photoshoot at the end of the fascinator making class, and all went down to post on the mezzanine for our group shot! Thanks to all the hens for being such good 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 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...
Read MoreA “Roaring 20s” fascinator making hen party workshop in Edinburgh!
What a fab afternoon we had with the ladies on Kim’s hen party in Edinburgh last weekend. The hens had come down to Edinburgh from Aberdeen for the weekend and had the class in a lovely apartment in Leith. They had opted for our Great Gatsby, roaring 20s style fascinator class so there were plenty of headbands, feathers and sparkle available for them to use. Lots of the girls chose simple alice band style pieces using lovely diamante and crystal details, with many of them hand sewing some lovely bead work onto their designs. Once again, each of them came up with unique designs and by the end of the class we had a beautiful range of hand-made fascinators for them to wear out that night. Here are some photos of the hens creating their fascinators and proudly showing off this finished...
