In the first of a 2-part series, The Crafty Hen talks rustic hen parties... and home-made bunting.
Rustic weddings are always full of texture, character, homemade touches and creative details. We love a rustic wedding theme at The Crafty Hen because we know that the wedding day is going to be full of heartwarming and personal details that will be special to the couple, really putting their own stamp on their big day.
We always like to know our crafty Bride-To-Be’s wedding themes or colour schemes. Especially when they are going to create something which can be used to decorate the wedding venue on the big day - we want it to co-ordinate perfectly!
No rustic inspired wedding is complete without streams and streams of bunting hanging from above! So it is no surprise that rustic wedding themes pop up quite often when we are packing up a bounty of wonderful materials, fabrics and trims ready for our bunting making hen parties around the UK.
For some truly rustic and natural wedding bunting, hessian and vintage lace are essential fabrics to really achieve that chic rustic look. But it always helps to add a little colour! We love sourcing floral patterned fabrics and plaid cotton materials, co-ordinated of course to suit the chosen wedding colour scheme.
What could be better than the Bride-To-Be bonding with
her hens whilst creating gorgeous strings of bunting to use at the wedding venue! Something to treasure and take away after the wedding too. Use to decorate the home, the garden or even the next wedding on the calendar so that the bunting becomes a sentimental memento of friendship, marriage and happiness passed among close friends!
Create intricately decorated bunting fit for any wedding - our workshop leader will be on hand to show you a range of creative techniques, decorative ideas and illustrate simple sewing tips to the whole group. Your trained session leader will also be on hand to assist with the assembly of the the bunting to ensure it is finished and ready to take away at the end of your workshop.
But it’s not all about the bunting! At The Crafty Hen we offer a wide range of workshop options to create things to wear to the wedding such as fascinators or jewellery as well as special items for the Bride to keep long after the wedding day such as a chic patchwork quilt or a memory book full of messages and photos from the all hens at the workshop.
