Besides your wedding dress, a white hen party dress is quite possibly the most exciting outfit to shop for as a bride-to-be. Many future brides go for an LWD (that's a little white dress) that contrasts their bridal gown, choosing pieces that are shorter and more fun.
From white sparkly hen party dresses with all-over sequin embellishments to elegant silk pieces, there are so many beautiful options to shop online.
I've curated an edit of must-see dresses, including a few styles that are more casual for daytime events. With many brides now choosing to have multiple hen parties, there's also every chance you could be shopping for one of each.
- The silk dress: Reformation Jeany Silk Dress
- The sequin dress: Retrofête Bridgette Sequined Mini Dress
- The ruffle dress: Mango Draped Dress
- The haute couture style dress: Nadine Merabi Maisy White Dress
- The daytime dress: Rixo Sandrine Midi Dress

Celebrities wearing white hen party dresses
Sophie Habboo was hen party goals with her girls' trip to Paris last year. The TV star and wife of Jamie Laing wore a white Broderie mini dress by Charo Ruiz Ibiza (pictured above), a sequin mini dress by House of CB and a sequin two-piece from SLA The Label with a white Frankie Shop blazer thrown on over the top.
In true Paris Hilton style, the socialite had a Las Vegas bachelorette party (where she wore pink) and a 'Paris in Wonderland' themed bridal shower in LA. I love the lace detail of the Self-Portrait dress she wore - and the heart-shaped sunnies.
