Flower Crown Station At Little Mix VIP Event

Glam Hatters Flower Crown Station At Little Mix!

When we were asked to host a Flower Crown Station for a VIP secret event we were thrilled. Flowers, crowns, girlie fun – all in a days work for Glam Hatters. Three days before the event that we found out it was for Little Mix. Just us, Little Mix and two-hundred and seventy girls making Flower Crowns!

Glam Hatters Flower Crown Station At Little Mix VIP Event

We’ve hosted many creative corporate events for law firms, major art galleries (including The National Art Gallery), design weeks, The National Trust, staff parties and team building events but nothing quite like this one! Our Glam Hatter Girls arrived at the event that afternoon to set up. They then had to be off site while Little Mix rehearsed for the gig.

Floral Inspiration at Little Mix

The stylist for the event had chosen a flower theme so our flower crown station was perfect for this event and meant we could decorate the fans with floral crowns. We even ordered in flowers in the specific colours requested to bring the theme right through the party!

Flower Crowns For Parties At Glam Hatters Events

Four of our Glam Hatter Girls were on hand to man the flower crown station. Our Glam Hatter Girls love helping everyone to make a beautiful floral crown. Each girl received a pre-made flower crown circlet and then added flowers to it. Most girls spent five to ten minutes at our flower crown station and left with a beautiful crown to wear.

Glam Hatters Creative Events London

We supplied enough materials for two hundred and seventy flower crowns! That’s five huge pink laundry bags of flowers and one huge blue ditsy print suitcase filled with floral circlets along with many many pink hat boxes to display the flowers inside!

Flower Crowns Station For Parties At Glam Hatters

The girls at this event were mostly teens and were very excited! We loved them and really enjoyed helping them to make flower crowns. They were all super polite and would have made their Mums very proud! We are used to working with teens and adults and our creative parties are a hit with both.

The National Trust Flower Crown Workshop

When the team at The Red House called up to discuss their corporate event ideas we were in our element. The Red House was built by William Morris – the King of Craft!

We work on our corporate event ideas with our clients in mind. We come up with the perfect creative event for the client and the space they are hosting in.

The team at The Red House were hosting a Wassail festival. The whole house was open to their clients and they also planned a Wassail procession around the orchard making as much noise as possible to scare away the evil spirits, and give the apple trees a glug of cider to encourage a year of good growth. Clients would then be invited to finish off with a hot mulled cider and mince pies in the café.

Flower Crown Workshop – Corporate Event Ideas

The Red House team required a rolling workshop for 50 people which would be completed in 2 hours. We set up a table to fit 20 people at a time and designed the flower crown workshop to take 20 minutes.

The Glam Hatter Girls arrived an hour previous to the event on a freezing December morning and were welcomed by the staff and volunteers at The red House. We quickly got to work setting up the room ready for the visitors.

That way people could pop themselves down as and when they wanted to. We provided three Glam Hatter Teachers to help customers make their half crowns and keep everyone on track time wise.

We had lots of materials to choose from and had pre-made the circle crowns so that the attendees could easily decorate them. Using soft green, pliable wire, the attendees wrapped on faux berries, leaves, holly and all things Christmassy. They made beautiful winter flower crowns and then wore the crowns for the Wassail procession around the orchard.

The Red House is a beautiful building which William Morris designed and lived in. It is absolutely incredible in terms of craft on display. It also has a super cute little cafe (fabulous cakes!) and a fab shop, ideal for Xmas gift shopping. Choose from William Morris print bags, cosy wool blankets (which make very chic scarves), and very stylish stationary.

Glam Hatters’ Events has run corporate events for law firms, galleries (including The National Gallery), retailers and events companies. We have lots of experience in this field and would love to come up with a bespoke workshop for your event. Call us for details and help with planning your corporate event.

Fascinator Making Corporate Event in London For UBS

We travelled to the UBS building for their corporate event in London. Their building is in Broadgate and is a hop and a skip away from our Glam Hatters’ studio in Angel. We have a major focus on corporate events in London and we think we’re pretty awesome at delivery our fascinator making workshops for high end corporate events.

Corporate Event In London with Glam Hatters’ Events

Livi and I spent a lot of time sourcing materials for this fascinator making workshop. We cut up sinamay strips and made bias binding for the sculptural element of the fascinators. We prepped lots of lovely vintage-inspired veiling in a rainbow of soft pastels, along with metallic colours and my favourite a super-soft latte colour. We ordered masses of gorgeous fabric flowers, spent hours putting bead pots together, particularly faux pearls (everyone’s favourite!). We added tulle, vintage buttons, crystals and quills, fascinator bases and headbands. We put together the most gorgeous corporate event in London and we were looking forward to meeting the clients.

The Best Corporate Ideas (Ever!!!)

We have the best corporate event ideas at Glam Hatters and we love to work with our corporate clients to deliver fun events for high achievers!! There is always a very focused element to clients at our creative corporate events. This corporate event in London was 2 hours long with a break in the middle for nibbles. Guests were greeted with champagne on arrival and their glasses were topped up throughout the workshop. We find a bit of fizz always help with sewing and creating gorgeous headpieces!!!

The Society Of Antiquaries Fascinator Making Events In London

The Glam Hatters hosted a series of fascinator making events in London at The Society Of Antiquaries this August. Based on their exhibition “Blood Royals”, we designed a bespoke felt fascinator workshop using felt, beading and Swarovski crystals.

Taking the Richard III and Edward IV panel paintings shown at the exhibition as inspiration.

We used felt because it’s a gorgeous fabric to work with and it holds it’s shape really well for millinery. All the materials were available in a huge variety of colours. We thought people would love this workshop, it’s so pretty, easy to do and easy to wear. The perfect recipe for these fascinator making events in London.

Above is our original design, you can see we’ve used jewels similar to the jewels in the paintings.

The Outline Of The Fascinator Making Events In London

Using ruffs as the inspiration for the fascinator shapes. The Glam Hatter Girls hosted workshops over two evenings at the SOA. Each workshop was 30 minutes long with 20 attendees back to back. This was part of The Society of Anitquaries Friday Night Lates. Here are the pictures from the workshops.

Design Events London with Glam Hatters’ Events.

Above Livi demonstrates the ruff used as design inspiration for the fascinator shapes at our event. It’s always great to have a visual aid when explaining workshops. Livi is our go to hatter for all things historian and she loved leading this workshop.

Step-By-Step Instructions At Our Fascinator Making Events In London

First job of the fascinator workshop was to get creative and select your colours! We had a huge range of coloured veiling, felts and beading to choose from. The fascinator workshop was set in the beautiful library at The Society of Antiquaries. It was lovely to have everyone seated around a large table and made for a very chatty, super-fun environment.

Unusual Team Building Activities London with Glam Hatters’ Events.

We had four a team of Glam Hatter Girls at this event. They all worked the room with tips, tricks and lots of millinery advice. Ensuring that all the participants had a lot of fun and made a beautiful fascinator to take home.

Unusual Team Building Events with Glam Hatters’ Events.

All our workshops are suitable for any level of experience – even if you’ve never picked up a needle in your life! I have to say though – these ladies were brilliant sewers. With a little bit of guidance from our team Livi, Clara, Anna and Shabnam they got completely stuck in to the task at hand!

Fascinator Making London

We always have plenty of mirrors to hand at our fascinator making workshops. And everyone can check the balance of their fascinators as they try new shapes. We usually have a couple of guys at the workshops and find they totally enter the spirit of the workshops. (In fact they are usually very industrious!)

Creative Events London with Glam Hatters’ Events

It is always exciting to see the fascinators at the final stage of the creative event. It’s incredibly satisfying to see how the clients confidence in their crafting ability grows during the workshop.

Glam Hatters’ Creative Events – Fascinator Making

Our fascinator events in London are all about expressing yourself, having a lot of fun and spending time with friends or colleagues getting creative.

Beautiful in Blue! We loved this guy – so much in the spirit of what we do

Lipsy Flower Crown Corporate Event

We were delighted when the guys at Lipsy called us up to book The Glam Hatter Girls to run a workshop as part of the Lipsy staff party. It sounded like such a fun corporate event. They explained there were having dance offs, a photo booth and a whole host of fun, events providers for team building at their staff party.

The Glam Hatter Girls arrived with 3 huge suitcases Filled to bursting with fabric flowers and crowns. Lipsy had 159 staff members in attendance at their corporate event. Located at The Magic Roundabout in Old Street. The Glam Hatter Girls quickly set about making an appealing display. Even using the coffee machine to display Flower Crowns and hat boxes on! (We can make anything look gorgeous.)

Getting creative with the coffee machine!

The Corporate Event…

Soon the party goers arrived… they were presented with flower garlands, had their faces made sparkly, ate, drank and made a lot of flower crowns! Here are a few pictures from the Lipsy corporate event.

We were so impressed with the Lipsy girls. They were totally fearless in their choices and made fantastic statement flower crowns. I love these three girls, they were so much fun. They’d already been at the glitter stall before they came to us. The flower crowns, the garlands, the sparkle – what’s not to love?!

Moving on to the boys!!! What a stellar look, bold, sparkly and unafraid – we all loved this guy! And the flower crown was pretty good too!

The Glam Hatter Girls…

“What do you think of our brand new, glitter encrusted Glam Hatters sign?!” We were so excited about being part of the Lipsy event and being at The Magic Roundabout that I spent a couple of days making this!!! Here, Glam Hatter Girls Tash & Clara show it off!

The Glam Hatter Girls wore flower crowns that fitted the colour scheme. This is Tash, (below) her favourite workshop to teach is the flower crown. This is her at the end of the night having a little sit down and making one last one! When asked what her favourite part of the night was she said – “The posh cheese cake!!!” She charmed the cake guys so much they gave her some extra to take home!

The Best Corporate Event Location…

Make a peace sign if you love your flower crown! This party had it all and The Magic Roundabout was such a cool location. I would strongly recommend it for a staff party or corporate event. It’s very central and sits above Old Street Tube. You don’t even need to leave the tube to get to it. Perfect for our rainy Summer and it’s easy to get back home.

The Magic Roundabout has an outdoor feel to it but has a covering to protect guests for the rain. It looks surprisingly tropical for an East London venue! It’s only 1 tube stop from our studio too!

These girls added flower crowns to the silk scarves they were already wearing.

The Best Flower Crown Workshop For A Corporate Event…

We designed the workshop to take just 15 minutes. We figured with this age group they wouldn’t want to be sitting around for too long. Especially with all the other stalls there. The festival vibe that Lipsy created was perfect for their staff.

If you’re thinking of a workshop for your large corporate event a free flowing workshop works really well. That way a lot of people get to make a flower crown. We advised the party goers to choose 3 flowers, 3 leaves and some sparkly bits. Wire them on to he pre-made crown and Bob’s your Uncle!

Because our flowers are of a really good quality and with the help given by The Glam Hatter Girls in just 15 minutes you can create a stunning piece. The party goers were very happy to have such a pretty take away. It also served as an ice breaker and talking point for the rest of the evening.

Book A Corporate Event With Us…

I cannot emphasise enough how much the Glam Hatters’ love what they do. We love helping you make gorgeous headpieces. We love being part of your corporate event. And more than anything we love the giggles and the delight on the faces of the girls (and boys) making the Flower Crowns. We will 100% give you all we’ve got. We will prep like a boss. We will arrive early. We will make the area we are working in look lovely. Last but not least we will make sure your staff or clients make a fantastic piece and have a fabulous time with us!

Corporate Event for Ashurst Law Firm

We were absolutely thrilled to host a corporate event for Ashurst Law Firm. They came to our venue in London for their fascinator making corporate event.

We used the large hall at our venue which had the added impact of having a stage in the room with red velvet curtains. It has such a vintage feel and worked perfectly with the vintage-inspired fascinator making workshop.

We dressed the tables with millinery tools, fascinators, mirrors and scissors. On a separate table we laid the table with pink candy stripe table-cloths. We set out hat boxes full of veiling, tulle, sinamay strips and millinery materials along with beading and buttons in a huge range of colours.

Glam Hatter Girls, Clara, Shabnam, Astri and Janie worked the room with tips and millinery tricks along with a lot of fun, giggles and bubbly! The fascinator making workshop was 2 hours long with a break in the middle for nibbles. As the clients were coming to the workshop straight from work we greeted them with bubbly and some lovely soft drink options too. We also made sure we had lots of nibbles to keep everyone going and some gorgeous Rococo chocolates for a sugar hit!

This group bonded over colour choices and encouraged each other to try on all the different fascinator samples. This is a great way to team build and a lovely activity for an ice breaker. The Glam Hatter Girls encouraged the clients to try new colours and kept lots of materials circulating around the table.

These guys made some awesome fascinators and were totally focused on the task at hand. But they also had a lot of fun, encouraged each other and celebrated each others achievements. The perfect corporate event group!

If you are looking for an unusual corporate event please do get in touch. We can design a bespoke workshop for your company or choose from one of our packages. See more of the corporate workshops we have hosted here.

Corporate Event at Hogan Lovells Law Firm

We were absolutely thrilled to host a corporate event for Hogan Lovells. They booked in with Glam Hatters for a stylish pre-Ascot fascinator making corporate event.

We arrived at their offices at 5pm to set up the room. It already looked gorgeous with stunning views of the London sky line and a baby grand piano.

We dressed the tables with millinery tools, fascinators, mirrors and scissors and then on a separate table we laid the table with pink candy stripe table-cloths, set out hat boxes full of veiling, tulle, sinamay strips and millinery materials along with beading and buttons in a huge range of colours.

Behind the scenes! Glam Hatter Girls checking out the London skyline.

We were set up and ready to go by 5.30pm – the clients were due at 6pm! This gave us a bit of time to check out the view.

Guests were served champagne and canapes on arrival and had time to catch up with clients and colleagues whilst the Glam Hatter Girls mingled through the crowd chatting fascinators and races!

Janie hands out fascinator bases at Glam Hatters.

Once the ladies took their seats Laura gave a lovely intro about The Glam Hatters and Glam Hatter Girls Janie, Astri, Lily, Rachel and Shabnam all felt about 10 feet tall by the end of it!

Rachel demonstrates the “how long your thread should be” dance at Glam Hatters!

It was a super-fun event from the start with lots of chatting, laughing and bonding over colour choices and style decisions.

Lily demonstrated rose making whilst Janie demonstrated sculptural trimmings.

Rachel threaded quite a lot of needles, Astri (our ninja sewer) helped out with bird-cage veils and Shabnam (our super-strong Swedish sewer/photographer) sewed, took pictures and generally ran around being amazingly helpful.

Astri helps out with bird-cage veils at Glam Hatters.The ladies, sewed, designed, created, drank bubbles, nibbled on macaroons and came up with some fabulous fascinators.

It was the perfect activity for an all female corporate party, but anyone reading this who is planning a corporate event which is mainly female but has a couple of males check out my previous blog. We can incorporate trilby decorating for the guys and they can be as super stylish or as absolutely flamboyant as the guys want!

The guys at Hogan Lovells and their clients made us feel so welcome, they were kind, fun, clever and a really good laugh. We ended the event at 8.30pm with a line up picture of all the ladies in their creations, as you can see they looked stunning.

When myself and The Glam Hatter Girls left at 9pm we were all on a high, chatting at sixteen to the dozen about the party and all the things the clients had produced and saying how lovely they had all been.

We had already met Laura (the corporate event organiser) the previous Summer when The Glam Hatter Girls hosted a fascinator making hen party for her very lovely group friends who were all lawyers. Laura was the hen party organiser at that time and her brief was to “find a stylish hen party activity…”

Laura chose the Luxury Fascinator Package for the hen party and was so impressed that 6 months later she booked in another hen party and went for the Gatsby Fascinator Package…and then 2 weeks after that hen party she contacted me to book Glam Hatters for a “stylish pre-Ascot fascinator making” corporate event for her law firm Hogan Lovells.

Hire the Glam Hatter Girls for your event and you may have trouble getting us to leave – we became pretty attached to these guys and we’ll do the same at your corporate event! For more details on corporate packages (catered or un-catered, in-house or at our Exmouth Market venue) please contact Janie with all your requirements.

Valentine’s Fascinator Making at The National Gallery.

When The National Gallery contacted me to run a fascinator making workshop for the first time I couldn’t believe it, but when they asked us back for the second time I was really thrilled.

Us Glam Hatter Girls packed our ditsy flower print suitcases, jumped in an Uber from our studio in Angel and arrived at The National Gallery, Trafalger Square ready to host a brand new Valentine’s Fascinator Making Workshop with pure excitement!

We were in a huge room of the gallery, surrounded by master-pieces, with classical music blaring through the gallery speakers and a que for our workshop all around the gallery and WE LOVED IT!

I designed the workshop around the Valentine’s theme and use “The Morning Walk’ by Thomas Gainsborough as inspiration. In the picture of Mr and Mrs William Hallett , Mrs Hallett is depicted wearing a beautiful hat with a huge taffeta bow as a hat band. I used taffeta as the main material of the fascinator and added tulle to give a fashion edge along with sinamay for shape and beautiful heart shaped Swarovski crystals to reflect the Valentine’s theme.

There is something really quite amazing about The National Gallery, I can’t help feeling totally in awe of the surroundings. Beautiful huge paintings, gorgeous wall paper and wood panelling, even the floors are utterly stunning.

We were slightly worried about wheeling our suitcases of materials over the floors and received a few desultory looks from the security guards but we trotted along behind Laura the events organiser and refused to meet the eye of the security guard in case he asked us to carry them rather than wheel them! You’d be surprised at how heavy a suitcase of feathers and millinery materials can be!!

The fascinator making workshops at The National Gallery are a little different to our usual Glam Hatters hen party workshops as none of the people attending actually know each other. This means a little less chatting (at the beginning anyway!) and a lot more concentration – at least until about 5 minutes into the workshop, by which time the girls had bonded over colour choices and choosing styles of fascinator.

The noise levels soon rose and in no time at all we were enjoying the usual girl chat along with lots of giggles!

One of the things I love about teaching fascinator making is that I get the chance to chat to the customers and learn a little bit about them. I also love that 80% of the people I meet at the workshops say that they are not creative … and then they go on to make the most gorgeous fascinators!

Another unusual thing about the workshop at The National Gallery was that we had a couple of guys in the group. They made fascinators for their girl friends and they were so cute and took the sewing really seriously.

It made me realise we definitely need to have an option for guys. Since the workshop I have ordered in some super cool men’s trilbys. So now if we have any guys on the hen party workshops – and we’ve had a lot of enquiries about this lately (see our “Staggering Hen Party” blog) – the guys can decorate their trilbys and have something of their own to look fabulous in.

The Valentine’s Late event ran from 6pm till 9 pm and The Glam Hatters ran 2 workshops each for 20 people back-to-back. It was a whirl wind of music, making, chatting and sewing. The customers were brilliantly fun and very chuffed with their creations.

Thank you so much to the fantastic team at The National Gallery for including us in their wonderful Friday evening event. We were all so proud to be teaching fascinator making overlooked by beautiful paintings and it was so lovely to photograph everyone in their fascinators in front of the painting that inspired the workshop.

If you would like The Glam Hatters to host a fascinator making event at your event please do contact us and we will be delighted to create a bespoke workshop for you inspired by your company or venue. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Goya Late Workshop Event at The National Gallery.

The Glam Hatter Girls storm the National Gallery! A couple of Fridays ago myself and two of my Glam Hatter Girls, Astri and Bobbie hosted a fascinator making workshop at The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London.

The girls and I met at the Pret on the corner of Trafalgar Square half an hour before we were due at The National Gallery to set up for our fascinator making workshop as part of the Goya Late event. We were all pretty excited, talking at a million miles an hour, drinking coffee, avoiding cake and running through workshop timings one more time.

Laura, the events manager met us at the side door and ushered us through the secret corridors of the gallery and we popped out at the foyer, whooshed up in the lift and came out at Room 9 of the gallery. Room 9 (my favourite number!) is huge with massive and seriously old oil paintings hung around it plus an amazing skylight above. We were all feeling very Alice In Wonderland and at one point while we were setting up the huge table in the centre of the room I whispered to Bobbie and Astri, “If I could tap dance, I would get up on this bench and tap dance right now, I am so excited to be here!”

It was a dark rainy night but it didn’t put people off coming to the event and pretty soon we had a que forming ready to take their places at the table for our workshop. We were running 2 fascinator making workshops one after another. It quickly became apparent that we wouldn’t be able to fit everyone in so we dragged over the beautiful old oak benches usually used for viewing paintings, to each end of the table and jammed a few more people in.

The whole event had a carnival feel to it, as well as us Glam Hatter Girls there was a fan making demonstration, wine tasting, flamenco dancing and fabulous Spanish music, all in different parts of the gallery. (Apparently our room was the busiest – just sayin’!)

Goya-De Francisco-Jose, The duchess of Alba Sun

I custom designed the workshop for The Goya Late exhibition. Each workshop was 40 minutes long and the inspiration for the workshop came from the Goya painting above. We prepped for the fascinator workshop by cutting all the sinamay strips ahead of time to use as the main part of the fascinator and had also cut up squares of tulle to be used to soften the over all look of the fascinator. We used beading and vintage buttons to finish off. This kind of workshop is perfect for a corporate event or team building activity.

We demonstrated the techniques at the beginning of each workshop and the ladies (and a couple of boys!) then got to work with all the prepped materials. Bobbie, Astri and I patrolled the table with helpful tips, banter and a lot of giggles keeping everyone on track and on time and helping create beautiful fascinators.

Check out our Facebook page for all the pictures of our Goya Late event and you’ll see how much fun we had and how gorgeous the fascinators created looked.

In the words of Glam Hatter Girl Bobbie, “We totally smashed it guys!”

I love creating bespoke workshops and I’m very happy to research your company/brand for ideas specific to you and come up with a super-fun, team building event at your choice of location or at one of our venues in London or Cardiff.

Corporate Event at Clerkenwell Design week

Last month The Glam Hatters were asked to host a corporate event for The Gallery In Sutton Street, Clerkenwell as part of Clerkenwell Design Week. We taught 10 of Clerkenwell’s finest creatives to free their spirit and make beautiful headpieces.

Clerkenwell is a stones throw from our Exmouth Market venue and home to more creative businesses and architects per square mile than anywhere else on the planet, making it truly one of the most important design hubs in the world. So when The Glam Hatters were asked to host a fascinator making workshop at Clerkenwell Design Week we were more than a little excited!

These fearless females dived straight in to hat boxes of materials choosing striking colour combinations and sculpting statement headwear. They bonded over colour way choices and giggled over sewing skills and absolutely all of them made a headpiece they would be proud to wear to an event.

This is our first foray into the corporate world and it felt kind of unusual to be running a fascinator making afternoon tea party on a Tuesday! Surrounded by all things super-tech our corporate creatives had a ball getting back-to-basics with hand sewing and beading techniques.

We moved aside the wireless phone charges so as not to spill bubbly or dollop cream on them during the break!

You can see from the results that these girls went for it with their designs and they looked awesome!

If you would like The Glam Hatters to come to your corporate event please get in touch and we can chat about scheduling, venues and budgets and bring you the perfect team building package.

If you didn’t make it to Clerkenwell Design Week this year, here are some reasons to put it into your calendar for next Spring!

Clerkenwell Design Week has created a showcase of leading UK and international brands and companies presented in a series of showroom events, pop-up exhibitions and special installations that take place across the area. Celebrating it’s 7th year in May 2016 (24-26) the award-winning* CDW has firmly established itself as the UK’s leading independent design festival and annually attracts the international design community to this small area of London for three days of exciting events. In 2014, the design community flocked to Clerkenwell with 32,300 attendees and over 300 exhibiting brands. CDW has been awarded Best Live Event at the AEO Awards 2013 and Best Festival and Best Cultural Event at the UK Event Awards 2012.

I hope to see you there next Spring!

With Love,

Glam Hatter Girl xxx
