More 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 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 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...
