Are you or someone you know about to tie the knot? If so, it's time to celebrate! But gone are the days of predictable, run-of-the-mill hen dos. Modern brides are opting for unique and unforgettable experiences that cater to their personalities and preferences. Whether you're a disco diva or a beach babe, there's a trend to suit every bride-to-be. Let's delve into the top 6 hen do trends that are taking celebrations to the next level.
Here is our list of our top 6 Hen do trends for 2024:
1. Disco Cowgirl Craze
Yeehaw! Saddle up for a hen do with a twist by embracing the disco cowgirl trend. Send our brand new 'Last Rodeo' digital invites to set the scene for a fun filled weekend, think sequined cowboy boots, fringe jackets, and glittery cowboy hats. Deck out your venue with hay bales, string lights, our cowboy hat shaped place names and what about hiring a mechanical bull for some Wild West fun. With line dancing, country tunes, and cowboy-themed cocktails, it's sure to be a hoedown to remember.
2. Pretty in Pink
For the bride who loves all things feminine and chic, a "Pretty in Pink" hen do is the way to go. From decorations to attire, everything should be in shades of pink. Think blush balloons, pink-coloured cocktails, and rose gold accents. Whether you opt for a classy afternoon tea with our pretty bow shaped place names or a glamorous pink night out on the town that Barbie would be jealous of, make sure everything is pink!
3. Pearls of Wisdom
Channel timeless elegance with a pearl-themed hen do. Pearls are the epitome of sophistication and can add a touch of class to any celebration. Incorporate pearl accents, like adding our pearl coloured wax seals to place names or goody bags, add pearl balloons into your decorations, wear pearl accessories, or even think of activities such as a pearl jewellery making workshop or indulging in a luxurious pearl-themed spa day. It's a refined and graceful way to honour the bride-to-be as she prepares for her big day.
4. Beach/Coastal Retreat
If the bride dreams of sandy shores and ocean waves, a beach or coastal hen do with all the blue hues is the perfect choice. Whether you're jetting off to a tropical paradise or staying closer to home, there are endless ways to make a splash. From beachside yoga sessions to surfing lessons and sunset cocktails, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Add that extra finishing touch to your sunset dinner with our Palermo shell place names and deckle edge menus.
5. Til Death Do Us Party
For the bride with an alternative flair, a "Til Death Do Us Party" theme offers a delightfully edgy option. Embrace the darker side with a gothic-inspired celebration that's anything but traditional. Picture intricate lace, skulls, and cocktails with a twist. Consider activities such as Tarot readings or hosting a séance for a truly unique experience. It's a hen do that's sure to captivate with its blend of mystique and unconventional fun. If you're into those extra finishing details, how about adding our skeleton hands place names to your table setting, or our personalised hair clip holders to the goody bags too.
6. Boho Chic
For the free-spirited bride who embraces all things bohemian, a Boho Chic hen do is the epitome of laid-back elegance and is always on trend, especially for all those neutral babes. Think dreamcatchers, flower crowns, and flowing maxi dresses. Create a cozy atmosphere with floor cushions, lanterns, personalised menus and fairy lights for a relaxed and intimate gathering. Whether you're hosting a picnic in a picturesque park or dancing under the stars at a backyard bonfire, it's all about embracing nature and good vibes.
Conclusion
Hen dos have evolved from traditional gatherings to personalised experiences that reflect the bride's individuality and interests. Whether you're dancing the night away at a disco-themed bash or soaking up the sun on a coastal retreat, the most important thing is to create memories that will last a lifetime. So, gather your nearest and dearest, embrace the trend that speaks to you, and get ready for the ultimate celebration!
