Kenmore, Perthshire Fascinator Making Hen Party fun
This brilliant fascinator making hen party saw Arabella Bridal’s Danielle heading up to the lovely Mains of Taymouth estate near Kenmore in Perthshire to run a class for some lovely hens. They all had lots of fun whilst they each learnt to make a unique fascinator. This was one of our mini fascinator making classes so the styles that Danielle taught were a bit simpler than in our longer class, but as you can see they managed to come up with some really beautiful designs making use of all the materials that we provided. Thanks again to all of the lovely hens for making it such a fun...
Read MoreMore fascinator making fun in Edinburgh
We met a very creative bunch of ladies indeed recently in Hemma, Edinburgh for another brilliant fascinator making hen party class as part of the lovely Barbara’s hen weekend in Edinburgh. We took over the lovely mezzanine in Hemma and spread out our mountains of feathers, beads, fabrics, brooches, flowers etc etc etc for the ladies. One or two of them had brought along some of their own bits and pieces to add to their piece, one bringing something slightly unusual (from her husband’s workshop) which made a fantastic design…. As always, the ladies came up with some fabulous and unusual designs with a huge variety of styles between them. With a rainbow of colours and styles we were so impressed with the fascinators that they made. There class was accompanied by a delicious spread put on by Hemma, washed down with plenty of fizz. Yum. Here are some snaps of the lovely ladies at work and a few of their...
Read MoreFascinator Making Hen Party in West Lothian
We recently ran a fabulous fascinator making hen party class in West Lothian, near Edinburgh, for some lovely hens. The journey to the venue was hilarious with a rather unusual kind of traffic jam on the way when a herd of cows blocked the driveway to the house..! We arrived at the stunning self catering house that the hen party had rented and arrived to find the hens enjoying having their hair and make up done. The girls had decorated the house with bunting and prepared delicious cocktails to enjoy during the class. Hannah was joined by the newest member of the Arabella Bridal team, Rona, and we set the class up in the huge, bright, open plan dining area and living room. When we’d finished teaching them the basic techniques required to make fascinators, the girls got stuck straight into making their fascinators. As always, we were surprised and impressed at how creative they all were, and how different each of their fascinator were. Ranging from small, simple pastel coloured designs to large, vibrant statement hats, the hens did a great job of making their unique fascinators. We had a fun photoshoot at the end of the class and got some lovely pictures of them all. As we were leaving, the music was turned up, cocktails poured and the dancing had begun – we were very tempted to stay and join in! Thanks again to all the girls for booking with us and for being such good fun! xx...
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 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...
