Last week I was asked to help out my cousin, Mel, with decorations and all things beautiful for a high-tea themed Hen's picnic, which was held in Melbourne's beautiful Fitzroy Gardens. For those who want details, there is additional info below.
Good luck and congratulations on your up-coming wedding, Bec & Scott! xx

Hens-like anything was banned from the day, so I started with 3 garlands of miniature tissue paper pom poms in similar colours and some paper bunting in a vintage pink and green colour palette.
The Hen definitely needed to stand out and, since she wasn't going to be wearing a flashing veil on her head, I put together this beautiful peony (silk ones, of course – if only these beautiful blooms were in season all year round!) and daisy headpiece, which looked stunning.
I wanted each of the 24 Hens that were attending the picnic to be greeted with something special too, so I sourced bottles of pink mineral water, wrapped them in a doily, designed a gift tag with each of their names on and finished it off by attaching a pink striped paper straw.
Mel sent through details of the amazing catering they had organised, so I made food labels in the shape of hearts (as seen in this post here) and kept with the pink striped theme.
For the Hens to borrow for the day, I included a pink floral table cloth, a white birdcage which I wrapped it in pink roses, some parasols and vintage milk bottles with white silk peony roses.
This was all wrapped up in a beautiful Parisian-styled keepsake box with an "inside this box" note, which she can use for all her future wedding bits and pieces too.
