Why hens love it
For the bride
The bride gets an extended session and her own moment centre stage. With VIP Bride, she also gets colour direction for the wedding day.
For every guest
Every guest is draped and finds out whether she's a Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. She leaves with a digital colour guide on her phone.
For the group
From late teens to grandmothers, every guest has a season. Mums, sisters and friends of the bride all get involved.
For the organiser
One price per person, prosecco included, and Pilar comes to your home, holiday cottage or venue. You send one enquiry; she handles the rest.
On the day
A relaxed 3–4 hour afternoon or evening. Here's how a typical hen session runs.
The hens arrive, glasses are filled, and Pilar explains what's about to happen — and why colour changes everything.
One by one, each guest is draped in different coloured fabrics. The group watches faces transform — the wrong colours drain, the right ones light up. Expect gasps.
Each guest finds out her season and what it means for her wardrobe, makeup and jewellery.
The bride gets an extended session and her own moment centre stage, with the whole group cheering her on.
Every guest leaves with a digital palette of her colours — a hen party favour she'll use every time she shops.
