Fascinator masterclasses

Natalie — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:23:24 +0000

I’m excited to update you all that I’m going to run fascinator workshops/classes in the London area with accompanying treats catered for by Blueberry Hill!

A fun day or evening out out where you can make your own fascinator with my help.

Enjoy fabulous Afternoon tea and learn how to make a fascinator, or for the evening, enjoy wine and nibbles…

Whether it’s for a hen party, or just a fun girls’ day/night out, get creative and make your own.

A bespoke fascinator made by you, plus a good fun day or evening out with the girls.

Details:
- email me on natalie@bournetofascinate.com if you are interested
- it’s a 2 hour class, which can take place weekdays, in the evening or Saturdays
- Min 6 ladies, max 15 (I can accommodate more if needed, just let me know)
- £60pp, for min 6, up to 8 persons. £50pp 9-15 persons (includes Afternoon Tea or Wine and Nibbles…bottle of bubbly is extra)

What you need to bring:
Have a think about what style or colours take your fancy? What dress will you be wearing to a future event, be it wedding or the races which you’d like to make a fascinator for? Let me know in advance to make the most out of the day making your fascinator.
By the way, if you want just a general one, that’s fine. You can choose on the day, it’s up to you!

For inspiration of what you can make, check out my collections.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks
Natalie

Start of the vintage collection

Hi all
Had a great time at Frock Me the other week and met some fab suppliers for vintage millinery – feathers and veils. I’m now incorporating them into my fascinator designs…check this one out…I love the mix of colours and actually rather autumnal!

Next collection

Normally I make on demand, but I’m hooked now on vintage lace and feathers that I’m sourcing from my suppliers from France…so I’ve been working on a new vintage collection with the pieces that I’ve picked up from the finest of veils to Guinea Fowl feathers…watch this space…any requests, please do get in touch

A little flutter

I was recently asked to create a fun fascinator with an open brief – the type of brief!
Not wanting to go too nuts, I picked up on the butterflies in my client’s dress and created a little flutter of fun on a headband.
I created the butterfly out of sinamay and used feathers to bring it to life!

Rather than having a veil over the face, I wrapped the base in giving it an understated twist…

Bournetofascinate goes bridal

Making your day that extra bit special… Dani kindly asked me to create a fascinator to go with her gorgeous daisy vintage wedding dress.
Using a mix of pearls and sinamay, and vintage lace I created simple elegance.
Big thanks to Dani for asking me to be a part of her day.

Bridal fascinator

Kate dazzling us with fascinating delights

Natalie — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 08:58:16 +0000

As we all know, the wedding of the year is soon upon us. Kate has the nations eyes upon her…what will her dress be like and what detail will she have in hair? She’s clearly a fan of fascinators which is fantastic. I loved the Vivien Sheriff Millinery piece she wore in Wales a few weeks back. The press frenzy is great for fascinators. My friends and I have always been a fan of fascinators which inspired me to create bournetofascinate…we’ve had lots of fun wearing them….even done the odd ‘dueling’ tussle- which fascinator is the strongest (Sarah and Louise!)
