Cluck cluck... its a Hen Party!

Several girls in the office are engaged and one is now only 6 weeks away from the big day!!  We are a close little office, so we've decided on a work hen do.

8 girls, high tea, hair and nails.  What could be worse?

We'll be trying to maintain an air of class with this outing... high tea and prosecco, with a blow dry and nail paint at UR Cheeky.  Our favorite place to go for a cheap nail paint.

We've also bought the bride the obligatory 'Bride to Be' sash and badges for the hen party :-))

GET THE LOOK - Afternoon Tea Themed Wedding

Afternoon Tea Themed Wedding... LOVE IT!  So 'in' right now, bring back the Britishness... this is also a great idea for Hen Party's.

To me Afternoon Tea is decadent, regal, relaxed and scrumptious.  It can also be vintage garden chic.  Parisian royalty or British street party.

If you decided to go for an Afternoon Tea theme wedding reception, you can hire great china from many wedding supplier these days (if your venue doesn't already have any you like)!  To add to the affect include lots of garden flowers, pastel colours, round tables with cushioned chairs (if possible)... maybe try an outside setting.
