Hello Hens

Hello Hens

If you're looking for Hen Party ideas which are less blow up ding-dongs, and more chilled and suitable for all, then look no further than a private flower workshop. It is a trend that is showing no sign of declining in popularity, and we can totally see why! We have lots of options for workshops including flower crowns, hand tied bouquets, dried flowers, seasonal wreaths and vase arrangements. No awkward small talk Hen parties are typically a gathering of people from all parts of the Bride's life, whether it's family, friends or colleagues, and you can find yourself in a room full of strangers. By having something to make, you can get to know everyone at your leisure while all having something else to concentrate on too.

Learn something new and make memories Who doesn't like learning something new? All materials, equipment and tuition is provided, and you'll be surprised at how well you do! You'll get plenty of photo opportunities to remember the day by, as well as something to take home with you. Saves you cash Typically a workshop will last around 2 hours, if you then factor in eating, a few games and some time for drinks, you have enough content to fill an afternoon, without having to dash between pricey activities. Coming to a venue in Aberdeen We are also extremely excited to say that we have teamed up with two vibrant Aberdeen city centre venues, should you be looking for somewhere to host your party.
