How To Make A Wedding Fascinator

It is no secret that I am a huge lover of hats for Weddings... at my own Wedding the dress code stated: BIG Hats & No Black! In my mind when you are dressing for a Wedding - why not go all out? Which is why when I discovered Hostie Hats I was immediately addicted.

Not only does Lucinda make hats for all occasions in a huge variety of styles, but best of all she can colour match any hat in her collection to your outfit - taking all of the stress of the search for the perfect hat away. In true Bride de Force style, I wanted to know if creating your own Wedding head piece was something that we would be able to learn ourselves... and in today's video Lucinda shows us how to make your own feathered fascinator.
