Vintage Theme Hen Party!

What better way to spend a sunny Saturday than with some of  your closest friends, making the most of Oxford. We were part of a lovely hen party, and of course we couldn't resist taking some of our bunting along for the trip too, and even branched out and made some vintage pinnies too!


Although we loved the pinnies as they were, we thought we could do more to make them extra special. We took them along to the t-shirt printing shop in the Westgate where we had them personalised.



After eating far too many cakes in our pinnies we headed off to the main event, our private cruise with Oxford River Cruises. Our boat was called Bacchanalia and was perfect for our small group, we took the chance to decorate it before the bride joined us and it looked beautiful.

Our vintage floral bunting looked perfect on the boat in the sunshine, it's available to hire now if you would like to see it at your event this summer. A close up of the fabrics and patterns can be seen here. The photos below show how we decorated the boat using our bunting, some props, and fresh flowers from the covered market.




As it was a special occasion we treated ourselves to the Pimms cruise which was on board ready for us. We also requested a gramophone which went perfectly with our retro theme!



We had a brilliant afternoon on the river, and the bride-to-be had the perfect send off. Thanks to Oxford River Cruises for making the afternoon so special. If you want to hire the bunting we used then just get in touch, we'd be happy to make your event memorable too!
