WELCOME TO THE HEN HOUSE. MOST CURIOUS LAUNCHES FEMALE EMPOWERMENT HEN DOS WITH THE HOUSE OF HEN
We all love a hen do, but, is it just us that also feels a little dread about it? You’re going to get too drunk, you’re going to feel like crap for days, you’ll probably have to do dumb things that make you feel a bit uncomfortable, will you be able to say all the important things you want to say to your friend as she makes or you make this important transition? Or will it just be… silly? And drunk. And silly. Don’t get me wrong, drunk and silly is pretty perfect too but often what you take away from those drunk and silly days, nights or weekends is actually the meaningful moments you got to spend with your girl friends, just you guys, feeling connected again and sharing some time, thoughts, stories, laughs and words together, with no other distractions, dedicating those hours to the importance of female friendship. The energy that creates is what leaves you smiling for days.
That’s the part Most Curious has distilled and packaged up for you with the launch of The HOUSE OF HEN. In collaboration with our exhibitors and contacts, we have carefully curated some cool hen party experiences that we feel fit with the type of brides and her buddies that find affinity with Most Curious. * side note - We are really happy to be launching this on Love My Dress as in a whole other lifetime we use to run hen dos in our origin story chapter of MOST CURIOUS PARTY! So way back in the summer 2010, our ever supporter Annabel featured a vintage, tea cup, cup cake, bunting heavy afternoon tea party hen do in Regents Park we put on, so we are coming full circle with this today!
Style, creativity, connection, ritual, female positivity, friendship and fun. The House of Hen offers stylish, life affirming and inspiring days with your besties that will bond you forever. We have gone for a focus on wellness, positivity, craft and of course, fun, with a little spirituality thrown. They are all about making magical, beautiful spaces and artful ceremonies, to both honour your time as a gang and the transition that is happening - Celebrating the power of together, connecting with nature, creativity, each other, female awesomeness and good vibes wherever possible. This is what the Most Curious Hen Dos are about.
To give you a flavour, packages include chakra focused floral workshops that combine yoga sessions, tassel earring making with self care treatment time outs, Bridal Blessings and women’s circles, slow crafts like hand dyeing with foraged pigments or meaningful mandala making, adorn yourself with pressed flowers or paper cut female positive messages - all with delicious fresh food and add ons of hair styling and cool editorial type photography of your day.
