She’s giving main character
This one’s for the bride who owns matching glassware, has a wedding perfume, and already sent you her hair trial in a Pinterest folder. Pearls & Prosecco is the hen do for the girls who say no to willy straws and yes to tasteful chaos. Think prosecco towers, muted colour palettes, and matching pyjamas instead of matching sashes. It works for Cotswolds Airbnbs, garden parties, or anywhere that has a champagne fridge. Bonus points if there’s a dress code and a curated playlist.
Decor
Skip the glitter confetti and think photo-friendly tablescapes. Use candlelight, glassware, florals, and layering to bring the vibe — muted, chic, and elevated.
What you need for a soft glam setup
Wrap napkins with pearl-effect garlands or thin ribbon. Add name tags if you want to feel extra. Understated, cheap to do, and super photogenic.
Pearl Glasses
Either stack coupe glasses for a pour shot or set up a tasting station. Bonus if each bottle has a custom label with the bride’s name or date.
Prosecco Tower
Cluster tall white taper candles in gold or glass holders. It’s giving tablescape, not tea lights. Use different heights for dimension.
White & Gold Candle Clusters
Blush, ivory and greenery with seasonal blooms or dried elements. Place in ceramic or clear vases. Add ribbons to tie things together.
Floral Centrepiece with Pale Tones
Instead of paper favours, gift hens a soft cotton tote in blush or cream. Fill with skincare minis, fizz, or satin eye masks.
Matching Mini Tote Bags
Not everyone has to match, but a coordinated Sleeper-style PJ moment is elite. Bonus points if you all wear them for brunch.
Personalised Satin Pyjamas
What To Do
Skip the novelty shots and go for moments you’ll actually remember (and want photos of). Elegant doesn’t mean boring — it just has better lighting, curated playlists, and prosecco served with strawberries.
But we’ve also got a few kickers perfect for the Western theme.
Elegant games, photogenic chaos
Get the free pearls & prosecco templates.
Host your own wine or prosecco tasting. Each guest brings a bottle, blind taste, rate, and argue about it. Bonus points for making someone play sommelier with a tea towel and bad French accent.
TASTING TABLE
Print outlines of a dress and challenge the group to design the bride’s look using pens, pearls, glitter or sticker sets. The bride picks her winner and you frame the best one.
DESIGN A DRESS
Give each guest a disposable camera or a list of prompts — candid of the bride mid-sip, best outfit detail, or prettiest table setting. Compile into an album later and send post-wedding.
PHOTO CHALLENGE
What To Wear
Basic rules for Pearls & Prosecco: keep it coordinated, photogenic, and elevated. Think of what you’d wear to a high-end brunch or a baby shower — only more fabulous. The best thing you can do is send a moodboard so no one shows up in a themed tee from Amazon.
THIS IS A SUBHEADING
The Bride
Cream, ivory, or white — ideally with a pearl detail somewhere.
A slip dress, a linen suit, or a satin midi with matching accessories. Keep hair soft, makeup glowy, and finish the look with pearl earrings and a glass of fizz. She’s elegant, photogenic, and knows the difference between Cava and Crémant. If Audrey Hepburn went on a hen do, this would be it. Add a veil, oversized sunglasses, or even a vintage clutch if she’s feeling playful.

The GUESTS
You’re going for soft glam, not full glam. Floaty dresses, pastel coords, or silky sets in champagne, blush or sage. Heels are optional but photogenic outfits are not. Think of what you’d wear to a vineyard or a fancy London brunch — now add sunglasses, layered gold jewellery, and a killer mani. Matching accessories (sunglasses, clutch bags, earrings) add cohesion without looking forced. Bonus points for bringing prosecco in a personalised cooler. Hair? Loose waves or a claw clip moment. Makeup? Glowy with a hint of gloss. It’s giving elevated, not extra. Think of what you’d wear to a hen that has a tablescape. If it wouldn’t look out of place on a Parisian hen or in a wedding editorial, it’s probably perfect. If you have to ask if it’s too novelty, it is.
