Hen Party Ideas for All Age Groups

Planning a hen party often involves a hectic night-out or a private V.I.P room in a nightclub but if you wish to include any daughters, nieces, mothers, or even grandmothers, this may not be a one-size-fits-all kind of plan.

Classes in areas such as flower arranging, dancing, cookery, roller disco dancing and more are just as fun and can be suitable for a lot wider age variety, so it’s worth thinking about what kind of activities you and your gals would like to get involved in.

Dressing the Bridesmaids SAME OR DIFFERENT

May 17, 2024

Traditionally, bridesmaids have worn the same dress to create a cohesive and uniform look. This practice dates back to ancient times when bridesmaids were tasked with protecting the bride from evil spirits or potential suitors. By dressing identically, it was believed that the bridesmaids could confuse any ill-intentioned individuals and ensure the bride’s safety. Over time, this tradition evolved into a way to symbolise the unity and support of the bridal party. By wearing the same dress, bridesmaids visually demonstrate their commitment to the bride and her special day. It also helps to create a sense of harmony and balance in the overall wedding aesthetic. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more individuality and personal expression in weddings. Many brides are now opting for a more modern approach, allowing their bridesmaids to wear different dresses that suit their individual styles and body types. This change reflects a desire to celebrate the unique personalities and preferences of each bridesmaid, while still maintaining a cohesive look.
