For the bride who’s all about bows, bubbly, and bonding with her besties, a Tying the Knot hens party is the ultimate way to celebrate. Think girly-girl energy meets slumber party luxe—with a soft pastel palette, silky pyjamas, and pretty little touches that make everything feel so special.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to throwing a hens that’s equal parts wholesome and hot pink.
🎀 The Vibe
This isn’t just a sleepover, it’s a full-blown bridal soiree in satin. Picture this:
-
Pale pink and butter yellow colour scheme
-
Ribbon details everywhere (napkins, ponytails, even drink stirrers!)
-
Frilly décor, heart balloons, fairy lights, and luxe bedding
-
A night full of pampering, pretty cocktails, and nostalgic fun
It’s giving “Bridgerton at a sleepover”, and we’re obsessed.
💕 What to Wear
Comfort, but make it cute.
For the Bride:
-
White satin pyjamas with feather or bow trim

Pearl hair clips or a statement bridal bow

Bridal slippers, eye mask, and a personalised robe
For the Bridesmaids:

Matching pastel PJ sets or nighties

💌 The Morning After
Wake up to a cute continental breakfast: mini croissants, iced coffees with pastel straws, fresh fruit, and pressed juice. Have a “morning-after” gift pack ready with hydrating eye patches, Berocca, and a love note from the bride.
With soft lighting, a slow playlist, and your closest girls in matching jammies, Tying the Knot is the perfect excuse to slow down and soak up all the love. It's the ultimate pre-wedding slumber party, equal parts aesthetic and emotional.
Because before you walk down the aisle, it’s time to tie the knot with your I Do Crew 💞
