Artist Brigita Stroda offers the bride and her friends a unique concept in Latvia - a crown or crown cooking workshop.

"In ancient times, people made their crowns and ornaments from different materials - flowers, metal and other things.

I also give the bride the opportunity to make her special and unique crown during the workshop, which she can even could put in your head on the wedding day," said Brigita.

The artist offers various options for the crown workshop:

1. One of the ways is that the bride's friends order Brigita to make a crown for the bride in advance. Thus it will be a professionally made crown, taking into account both the bride's own favorite colors and her special ones elements, and possibly family relics. "This crown will be a surprise for the bride anyway. When all the girls will come to the master class, we will present the crown to the bride together, while each friend will have the opportunity to write your special wish, which we will incorporate into the bride's crown during the workshop," says Brigita.
2. The artist states that there are several more options for the master class format - all of her friends Brigita Strodas you can make a bride's crown under the guidance, or you can make your own crown to take home with you later.
3. On the other hand, while the crowns are being made, Brigita also offers to give a lecture and tell more about the crown history, their symbolic meaning.

"With me, brides and their girlfriends will find really unique crowns, without artificial flowers. For me, in general don't like artificial flower crowns. In my opinion, if girls want flowers in their crowns, they should consist of for living flowers," Brigita is convinced.

Another master class that has been popular among brides' friends in recent years when planning a pre-wedding party, is make-up or make-up tutorials.

This service is also offered by make-up artist Dita Grauda, who says that this format also has different variants:

• there are cases when make-up is applied only to the bride, while the rest of the girls listen to Dita in recommendations and sip champagne,
• but there are parties where every girl, guided by what Dita told, learns to apply make-up knives on herself. It is especially popular in those cases when a photo session of girlfriends is planned after the training (there are, by the way can also be arranged in Dita's own workshop). Also, such master classes allow the bride to try her own wedding day make-up - it can serve as a trial.
