A white hen party dress is one of the most fun outfits to shop for as a bride-to-be. To contrast their wedding dress, many future brides go for an LWD (that's a little white dress) that's shorter and possibly a bit of a statement piece.
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, incluing a few options that are more casual for daytime events. Many brides are now choosing to have multiple hen parties, so there's every chance you could be shopping for one of each.

Celebrities wearing white hen party dresses
Sophie Habboo gave us all of the 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. We love the lace detail of the Self-Portrait dress she wore - and the heart-shaped sunnies.
