For the food fanatics, the perfect canapé display needn’t be expensive and will add the wow factor to your eats! Source an old ladder and some clean wooden floorboard to use as a structure to serve starters, mains and dessert in miniature form.
8. Hen party drinks
Prosecco:
Layout a dedicated bubbly bar with fresh juices, cordials and berries to create your own fruity infusions and adaptions to Buck’s Fizz!
For an inexpensive solution for keeping the good stuff chilled during the party, fill chunky ice-cube trays with blooms and buds for the prettiest booze crates, baths and buckets. Source floristry off-cuts or wilted stems – this will save on the cost of buying fresh flowers.
