Great Gatsby! A 30s themed fascinator making hen party workshop.
Oh we had a lot of fun last weekend for Emma’s fabulous 30s themed hen party in Edinburgh! We were asked along to host a 30s themed fascinator making class and we had a LOT of fun designing pieces for the girls to make, and they did a fabulous job of creating some stunning pieces! The class was held in one of the bridesmaid’s flat in Edinburgh which was decorated like a 30s jazz club – plenty of sparkle, jazz and cocktails. We taught the girls how to make some lovely 30s style fascinators and alice bands that they would be able to wear time and time again. Once again we were amazed at how different everyone’s designs were. The girls had a great time with lots of laughter – we were sorry to leave! Thanks so much for letting us be part of Emma’s hen party – we wish her all the best for her wedding day! Looking forward to seeing photos of it. Here are some snaps of the afternoon:...
Read MoreEdinburgh Bonham Hotel fascinator making hen party
Last weekend we had the pleasure of running a fascinator making workshop for Fi’s hen party in the Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh. This luxurious, boutique hotel is the perfect location for a sophisticated bunch of ladies to enjoy fizz, good food…and of course learn to make fascinators! Fi’s bridesmaid Kara had contacted us looking for a craft based activity for the hen party and we agreed that a fascinator making class would be perfect for the occasion. The girls were all very enthusiastic and came up with some fantastic designs. Interestingly, each and every design made by the ladies was very different and unique, meaning that they have no need to worry about turning up on a night out, or indeed at Fi’s wedding, wearing the same fascinator! One of the hen’s had brought along a brooch which had belonged to her grandmother to incorporate into the design which is a lovely idea and an ideal way to personalise your design. Despite the bottles of fizz and excitement, there were moments of the afternoon that were silent when the girls were concentrating so much on their designs! As so often happens, those who had arrived stating that they could not sew and were not creative amazed themselves by designing and making a beautiful fascinator and by the end of the afternoon we had 17 gorgeous fascinators complete and on show! Here are some pictures of the bride-to-be and her hen party showing off their masterpieces! Hen party fascinator making classes can be held in one of our Edinburgh venues including Hotel du Vin, the Bonham Hotel, the Howard Hotel, Hemma, Urban Angel or Norton House Hotel or at your own venue – whichever suits you best. As long as there’s enough table space that’s all we need really! All of our venues offer afternoon tea which can also be served with bubbles (which we find often helps with people’s creativity!!!) or various other drinks and snacks. We can also travel to other venues within Edinburgh or outside of Edinburgh. We also have four fabulous venues that we use for our hen party craft and fascinator making workshops in Glasgow – the Corinthian Club, Blythswood Square, Hummingbird and the Butterfly and Pig Tearooms and are happy to travel to self catering venues in other Scottish destinations. Packages can be taylor-made to make the class as simple or as extravagant as you like. The class can be themed to suit the hen party, we can adapt the class to make brooches or other accessories – it is really up to you! Discounts are offered for large groups, and for any booking for 12 more people, one person goes free! Get in touch for more...
Read MoreLoch Lomond fascinator making craft hen party!
We were thrilled to be asked to run a hen party fascinator making class by the lovely Eilidh recently. She was organising her best friend’s hen party in the stunning High Wards Luxury Lodge in Alexandria and was looking for a craft based activity to do. We arrived (after several “detours” i.e. totally lost – oops! Tomtom’s fault…) at lunchtime at the beautiful house to meet the lovely hens. The wedding colour theme was black watch tartan so we had tailored this class to the theme and had designed a number of fascinators and brooches made with black watch tartan fabric so that the girls could all make pieces to tie in to the theme of the big day. There was a mix of crafting and sewing experience amongst the hens with some never having made anything in their life before whilst others were queen sewing bees, but everyone created a fantastic fascinator or brooch to be proud of! It was a fantastic afternoon in a gorgeous location (which we would thoroughly recommend to other hen parties looking for accommodation in the Alexandria/Loch Lomond region!) and we can’t wait to do another hen party there in the future! Here are some snaps of the fascinator making class hen party in action: Hen party fascinator making classes can be held in one of our Edinburgh venues including Hotel du Vin, the Bonham Hotel, the Howard Hotel, Hemma, Urban Angel or Norton House Hotel or at your own venue – whichever suits you best.

Read MoreHemma Edinburgh craft hen party! Fascinator making with the hens.
This weekend we tried out one of our new Fascinator Making Workshop venues – Hemma in Edinburgh – and it was fantastic! Hemma is a funky, airy, Swedish bar/bistro with cool decor, delicious food and drink and wonderfully helpful and friendly staff! To fuel you through your hen party you can choose from a traditional afternoon tea or various sharing platters and buffet style food, together with tea, coffees, soft drinks, wine, fizz or cocktails! We were joined by 22 lovely hens who were all in Edinburgh for Eilidh’s hen party. The hens all tucked into plenty of delicious prosecco, cakes and sandwiches and got extremely creative! The ladies came up with some fantastic designs and had (as did we!) brilliant fun making their very own fascinators. They were obviously all naturally very creative hens! Many of them made fascinators to wear to the wedding next month so we are extremely excited about getting some photos back from them wearing their fascinators on the big day. 🙂 Here are some photos of the fun and very creative afternoon!
