If you're struggling to find white hen party dresses, know that you're not alone; it's up there with being as difficult as finding your actual wedding dress. You only get one bachelorette after all, so you want to look great and feel confident (and for everyone outside of your bridal squad to know exactly who the bride is).
If you're a bridesmaid or one of the wedding guests, finding hen party outfit ideas is an easy task. If you’re the bride, however, you've got a trickier assignment ahead of you. As the lady of the hour(s), you should aim to stand out.
What do you wear to a hen party? Does the bride have to wear white to her hen party?
Yes. Traditionally, the bride-to-be wears white on her hen do as a nod to the big day itself, but it's not something you have to abide by if you really don't want to. Hopefully, your maid of honour will have planned everything, so try and find out from her what lies ahead so you know just how dressy to go. Will you be dancing on table tops singing your heart out to ABBA? If so, you'll want something OTT like this ASOS LUXE bardot sleeve embellished mini dress paired with some sparkly accessories. Think: a beaded bridal clutch bag and some party heels to match.
If it's a fancy dinner and drinks then look to Galvan's Pandora satin halterneck mini dress and some comfortable wedding shoes, and if it's a quiet tea party-style garden party then opt for this sleek/chic linen dress from & Other Stories.
Many hen parties are an all-day affair, so if that's the case, consider something that'll look just as good at bottomless brunch as it will come evening cocktails. This blazer dress from Karen Millen is spot on.
No matter your bachelorette theme, you can lean on white hen party dresses to make everything feel a little less daunting. Below you'll find an edit of 19 styles, from silhouettes that you could easily re-wear as your evening wedding dress to white dresses that you can take with you on your honeymoon and beyond.
