How To Create An Insta-Worthy Hen Do Tablescape

Bridesmaids, this one’s for you! We’ve gathered our favourite tablescape ideas so that you can create the ultimate photo-worthy hen do dinner party.

From bridal gossip over Mr & Mrs quizzes to reflecting on the antics the night before, the dinner table at any hen do is a hub of happy memories. Whether you’ve planned to cook up a storm one evening or you’re letting a private chef take the reins, here are ways to create a hen party tablescape with an Instagrammable aesthetic.

Personalised Placenames

Bable Candle Workshops

With creative hen do activities rising in popularity, we are loving artistic tableware that makes both a fun thing to do on a hen and a personalised placename all in one - think cookie decorating, pebble illustrating and more! Bianca from Bable hosts candle painting workshops for hen dos around London and beyond, enabling you all to enjoy a moment of calm amongst the chaos. Her sessions are for all ages and abilities, so whether you’re a budding artist or have no experience at all, you can pop the bubbles, get the creative juices flowing and make a momento to be proud of, all while burning the candle at both ends.

Love is in the Air

Ginger Ray Balloon Arch

For a statement backdrop to your dining area, nothing beats a balloon arch! This simple addition to your hen party will elevate the dining scene and add depth and colour to your photos or polaroid pictures. Depending on your hen do theme, you can select balloons in a range of colours and styles, from bold and glittery to subtle ombre hues that make the tablescape pop. Ginger Ray have dozens of party balloon options to help dress up your hen party at your home, hotel or rental house. The assembly is simpler than you think, just bring a pump or group together and use the power of your lungs! They’ve even got a handy balloon arch 'how to' guide here.

Forever Florals

Phohm_Dried Flower Workshops

Flowers make a stunning scented addition to your tablescape, so incorporating seasonal stems is a must for that photogenic finish! For a sustainable edge, dried florals are rising in popularity at weddings and events, particularly if you want something longer lasting to take home after the hen weekend. PHOHM is a floral design studio in Brighton that can host your hens or travel to you for a workshop on how to create everlasting table centres, flower crowns and bridesmaids bouquets. With a glass of fizz in hand, your tablesape will soon transform into a whimsical palate of pampas and petals in neutral tones and textures.
