Brides swapping hen nights 'for crafty activities'

Many brides could have more money to spend on their wedding flowers and decorations this year, as they are reportedly cutting back on their hen nights.

According to the Guardian, a new trend for unusual and crafty activities is emerging among women.

This means that instead of spending a small fortune on a drunken weekend abroad, ladies are able to save a few pennies to spend on other things, such as wedding insurance.

Personal assistant Baseera Green told the publication that she went to lindy hop lessons before hosting an afternoon tea party for her hen celebration.

"People get to know each other better when they're bonding over an activity and they're all still sober," she explained.

Ms Green is now organising a hen party for a friend and has decided to take the group to a craft workshop to make vintage-style fascinators.

Brides could put some of the money they have saved toward an extra special pair of wedding shoes and celeb favourite Christian Louboutin offers a special fitting service for brides-to-be in its London stores.
