I was going to write a reflective piece for my blog today. I love to occasionally step away from the style of wedding blog content I like to feature, and focus for just a little while, on other matters, but, for a couple of reasons, I'm going to park my thoughts until next Sunday 🙂
Instead, I've decided today I'm going to share with you details of my friend Abbie's brilliant new business, Vintage Hen House designed to assist those Brides who love the vintage style, and who are looking to organise a Hen Party…
"You can spend years planning your perfect wedding that reflects your taste and personality, getting every aspect perfect down to the last detail. So why when it comes to your hen party should you have to stick to the conventions of L-plates and tacky accessories? Your hen party can be a stylish, sophisticated, glamorous event and the Vintage Hen House is all about bringing together the best vintage suppliers and inspiration to help you create the perfect party.
The for a vintage hen party directory idea came about after I planned my own vintage themed hen party. I didn’t want to do the traditional hen party and to be honest I wasn’t really looking forward to having a hen part at all.
The idea of L-Plates, pink feather boas and flashing hair bands filled me with dread and I had originally decided to have a join party with my husband to be. However, this idea became a bit unmanageable and a hen party was back on the cards…."

"I have been asked many times about how I planned my hen party from people wanting to do their own, so the Hen House was born…"
"On the site you can search for companies who supply a whole range of services from tea parties, photography, baked good, clothes and accessories, hair and make-up, venues, stationers and event styling. You can create a bespoke event by mixing and matching services and the result will be a totally unique experience that everyone will remember forever.
The Hen House website offers some great ideas and inspiration on getting that vintage look and feel, whether you want to be a ‘20s flapper girl, ‘50s a pin-up or a ‘60s hippy chick :)"
