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.

Bride De Force, thank you for this video of you sharing your start in the business and process of creating a wearable work of art. I have taken note of the techniques utilized and will incorporate them in the making of my products. I pray your continued success!

Oh wow, this was so easy & interesting! :D I myself am a hugeee fan of fancy hats/fascinators so making my own will be perfect, also because these kind of hats aren't very popular in my place. Lucinda was so lovely in this video! :) Thanks for this easy DIY!

Hello...I am American and fascinated with fascinators. You are very talented. I am not finding much information about them. I am curious about why some are worn seemingly to the front or side of the forehead. Also, one of the young royals (Eugenia?) wore one to Harry's wedding that was brown like her dress and huge, tall curls resembling deer antlers. I assume some (like that) are meant to be whimsical?

[@ukichooch]

so happy to see this video! I'm going to try to bring this trend to Canada for this summer's wedding season

[@HandmadeCreations]

Could you show me how to make a full flower burst using only feathers? I need to make a brooch. Thank you.

[@sanahk88]

Wow that hat looks really dark and scary!

[@SophiaNicoleLoPresti]

First! Fleure I did a video talking about how amazing you are if you want to check it out it would mean the world to me.

[@DieNine1905]

did she really spray paint the lawn? no offence, but she could have at least put a cardboard down to protect the grass. I am in no right to judge as I don't know if the colour may be environmentally friendly, yet, I looks just plain wrong to me.

[@KyleLojo]

Jeanine Woischnik the grass grows and you just mow over it. Your yard will look brand new a week later

[@abd19731000]

I thought I was the only one that sprayed my lawn!!! I sometimes use paper, but no sometimes not. It's fine cutting grass sorts it a few days later.
