Another hot favourite with our team is to create a ribbon'washing line'. A long length of beautiful ribbon attached to a wall in your venue and accompanied with wooden pegs will create a beautiful place for guests to hang their hats and fascinators without them getting damaged. The sight of a variety of hats hanging on the 'washing line' is definitely one worth capturing on camera! |
