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.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!

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.

Glitter Station – Brand New Hen Party Idea

We have another brand new hen party idea here at Glam Hatters. Book a Glitter Station with us and watch your party sparkle!

glitter station party

Book a glitter station with Glam Hatters and our glitter artists will bring the highest quality sparkles to your party.

Your Glitter Artist takes 15 minutes to set up and once set up you can choose your desired looks from inspiration we provide. From glitter roots to glitter delecotage we can create looks in a variety of colours and textures. We need a table and high bar stall or chair to be provided and we bring a ring light with us so you can have fun taking selfies! This also adds a fun element while the rest of the party are getting glittered.

Each look takes approx 3-5 mins (depending on what you would like) and in a one hour booking your artist can do groups of 12-15 hens. If there are less girls in your group you can go all out and have multiple areas glittered!
All the glitter we use is cruelty free, vegan, biodegradable and sourced in UK. We also have latex free glue for anyone who has allergies.

Q&A with our Glam Hatter Glitter Queen.

Q. How did you come to be a glitter queen?

A. Make-up has always been such a creative outlet for me and with glitter you get to involve everyone so it’s double the fun. Guys, girls, old and young – it just simply works for anyone, everyone and at any time of year. Seeing people’s faces light up post-glittering is priceless and addictive.

Q. What do you love most about your job?

A. I get to meet some fantastic people… Most of my clients to are now friends and we go out for drinks.

Q. Who is your ideal customer?

A. Someone that just loves having a great time and who isn’t afraid of getting glittered or face painted!

Q. What is the funniest secret you’ve heard from a customer whilst getting glittered?

A. It’s funny how much of a counsellor you become as a Glitter Artist. I had one lady that couldn’t sit on down on the stall for me to glitter her. Then told me she had just had a tattoo done on her derriere and couldn’t sit down! I was the first to know! We were laughing together and I glittered her whilst standing.

Q. What surprises you about your job as a Glitter Artist?

A. How fun it is. I’m one of those annoying people that just completely loves what I do. Don’t get me wrong, we work hard but I’m so grateful that I had the chance to do something I love and have fun!.

Q. Have you ever organised a hen party and if so what advice would you give to hen party organisers?

A. Sat & Sun hen-dos are my thing. It’s hard to get all those friends together in one place at the same time. They could be from different locations, with different life commitments and budgets yet they are still as important to the bride. A weekend hen means people can pick and chose what they want/can get to and reduces stress for the organisers.

Q. What is your favourite glitter colour/design.

A. I’m loving really chunky emerald greens and turquoise glitters at the moment…that mermaid look always turns heads.

Q. Why should people choose a Glitter Station and what do you bring to the party?!

A. Our glitter stations are portable and sit nicely on top of a table. It can be taken to a venue or home. We set up a full array of glitters/pearls/gems/stencils & face paints. Basically, if it sparkles we’ve got it! You don’t need to limit yourself either…We have a fun menu of looks to chose from so you can easily choose how much glitter you want. Why not try glitter lips, a glitter hair parting or even some glitter body painting!

Our Glam Hatter Glitter Girls  are such fun people to be around and ooze positivity, they are truly inspirational. They’ll get everyone involved and before you know it you’ll be snapping selfies of glittered hens. For more information and a quote for your Glitter Station contact Janie on the form below…

Flowernator – Brand New Workshop!

We have a brand new hen party workshop at Glam Hatters. A Fascinator and a Flower Crown eloped to LA and nine months later the Flowernator arrives into the world!

Flowernator hen party

This is a super stylish workshop and the perfect hen party workshop for girls with a great sense of style. The Glam Hatter Girls will teach you step-by-step to make a gorgeous Flowernator with a beautiful bird-cage veil. Choose from a huge range of millinery bases and decorate with fabric flowers and leaves in a rainbow of colours. Top it off with a bird-cage veil for extra elegance. Just the thing to wear to the hen party or save it for a festival or boho wedding.

Our flower crown workshops and fascinator workshops are both super popular. The flowernator is a way to combine the two styles. That way everyone in your group can be sure to make the style that really suits them. We have noticed that the twenty and thirty somethings in the group tend to go for the flower crown style. The Mum’s of the bride and Aunties really love the fascinator look. This workshop is the perfect combination of styles in a hen party workshop so that everyone can feel comfortable with the piece they make. The lovely thing about the fabric flowers is that they will last until the wedding.

Hen Party Workshops At Glam Hatters

What a gorgeous group you will make wearing beautiful flowers and hats that you have all made. We have so many blooms to choose from and a huge range of coloured fascinator bases so you will make something to complement your outfit.

Bond with your group over style and colour choices and enjoy a crafty afternoon with our Glam Hatter Girls. Our teachers are very experienced and will give you exactly the right amount of help to ensure you take away a headpiece that you love and are able to wear to the wedding. Oh and one more thing, you’ll have a whole lot of fun while you’re making!

Daily Mail-Stop Bashing Working Mummies

OK Daily Mail, you have been p*@$ing me off for years with your hate-Filled, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist crap. Last month you boiled down 2 female politicians (leaders of 2 Countries no less) to a couple of pairs of legs – that was pretty bad. But now you’re starting on working Mummies and that is MY tribe. You bloody awful journalists all have Mothers – didn’t any of them work for a living?

Janie Lawson

Easter holidays with my daughters. We all love a hat!

You may ask why I’m so slow to write this post – the offending article titled “The mothers who admit they’re so glued to their phones, they ignore their children – and, just as disturbing, they’re passing on their harmful screen addiction” and featuring  Kate Beavis came out last week. It’s been all over TV and social media already – the furore is already yesterday’s news. Well I’ll tell you why it’s taken me this long to write this post. EASTER HOLIDAYS.

Just like Kate Beavis I do most of my work while my young children are at school. Easter holidays is a time when I answer work enquiries (I run my own hen party craft activity business) on the hoof when I get a moment. Sometimes it’s a quick email while the girls are painting eggs or while I’m on the train down to Wales to meet my folks. More often than not during holiday time it’s after 8.30pm when my daughters have gone to bed.

hen party planning

Oh no, my little girl is carrying a fake smartphone – someone call the Daily Mail!

Like all the Mum’s I know who run their own businesses I somehow manage to fit it all in with the help of a visit to Nana’s house or a babysitter filling in for a couple of hours. And here’s the thing, Daily Mail: we do this to create the lifestyle we want. The one where we can earn money and be there for our kids during the Easter Holidays or for school pick ups. This is how we pay for those extra things like Saturday morning swimming lessons. So heaven forbid we dash off a quick email to keep all those balls in the air.

And here’s another thing Daily Mail – this job of being a Mummy and running your own business is not easy.

It is hard work. My job is the exact job I want to do, but whilst I have a huge amount of fun doing it, it is hard graft keeping this much going. It is also relentless. If one of my daughters is poorly, I stay home with them, I work around it and I still deliver all my commitments to my customers. My kids are my priority, they are my number one job but everything else has to happen too. Other wise I wouldn’t have a business.

Next time you interview a talented, entrepreneurial woman, how about focusing on her achievements? Because in the end isn’t Kate Beavis exactly the type of woman we all want as a role model for our children? A charming, supportive and capable woman who champions small businesses through her vintage wedding shows and encourages all of us to recycle by writing about her vintage furniture addiction.
