The Bridal Vintage Crown Master Course

About this event

Join our 3-hour atelier masterclass to hand-craft an everlasting bridal crown using authentic, deadstock 1950s millinery stamens. 🕊️ About This Session Step inside our light-filled Amsterdam studio for a private couture masterclass in traditional millinery. Guided by our lead designer, you will learn the art of hand-wiring and shaping rare 1950s deadstock European stamens into a custom, everlasting stamen crown to cherish for a lifetime. 🤍Why You’ll Love It Shared Bonding Ritual 🕊️: Gathering with your mother, father, siblings, best friends, or fiancé(e) creates a grounding, quiet space amidst the whirlwind of wedding planning—giving you a priceless, intimate memory of connection to carry into your new chapter. Match Your Look 👗: Don't forget to bring your wedding dress (or at least high-quality pictures of it!). We will help you curate the perfect floral textures and tones to flawlessly complement your bridal attire. Forever Keepsake ⏳: Unlike fresh or dried floral headpieces that wilt, shatter, or fade over time, the crown you craft is built to last forever—turning your wedding accessory into a timeless heirloom you can cherish for a lifetime. 🤍 What’s Included in Your Ticket 💎 Rare Vintage Materials Included: Access to our private collection of 1950s deadstock stamens, wires, and crafting tools (€200+ material value). Personal Touches: Ribbons and silk flowers are not provided, but you are welcome to bring your own! Please notify us in advance so we can incorporate them into your design. 🪡 Intimate 1-on-1 Guidance: Direct, personal instruction throughout the session to ensure a flawless execution and high-end finish. 🍵 Treats & Drinks: Enjoy a curated selection of Japanese teas, herbal infusions, specialty coffee, and treats while you create. 🎁 Packaging: Transport and store your finished crown in protective packaging. 📸 Polaroid Keepsake: A complimentary studio Polaroid portrait to take home alongside your crown. -- About GEM SESSIONS: GEM SESSIONS is an Amsterdam-based creative studio.
