As wedding season approaches, many brides-to-be are planning their hen parties. Whether staying in the UK or heading abroad, choosing outfits is one of the most exciting parts of the celebration. I'm a bride-to-be who loves all-white outfits, so when I heard that Love Islander Molly Smith had launched a new edit with River Island, I immediately visited the retailer's website to explore the collection.
Molly Smith's River Island Hen Edit: A Bride's Wishlist
The edit features stunning pieces, including co-ords, dresses, and statement accessories. These items can be worn long after the hen party ends. Additionally, our exclusive code REACH15 offers 15% off for new customers. Other high street options include Club L London's hen do page, with dresses like the Pastoral White Ruffled Asymmetric-Neck Mini Dress (£115) and the Rosalinda White Sequin Square-Neck Mini Dress With Feather Trim (£170), perfect for a big night out.
Top Picks from the Collection
Starting at just £29, here are my wishlist items from the Molly Smith collab:
- Gold Shell Toe Thong Heeled Sandals, £42 – I love shell-adorned items for summer. The low kitten heel makes them comfortable, and the detailing elevates any outfit. Some may find the thong toe uncomfortable, but they are worth breaking in at home.
- Petite Cream Lace Maxi Skirt, £36 and Petite Cream Lace Halter Cowl Neck Top, £29 – These matching pieces are perfect for a hen do. At 5'7", I find the petite fit too short, but I hope River Island releases a regular size. Post-hen, I'd style them with an oversized white t-shirt and mesh ballet flats.
- Cream Butterfly Embellished Tassel Maxi Dress, £120 – Pricier but worth it for the detailing. Available in sizes 6-18, ideal for beach clubs or sunset drinks. For a more understated look, consider Odd Muse's Cap Sleeve Mini Dress (£125).
- Cream Cotton Blend Shell Rib Tank Top, £29 – Selling fast due to the affordable price. Perfect for casual hen plans, dress it up with a skirt or down with jeans. Note: hand-wash only.
- Mirror Embroidered Jacket, £79 and Matching Shorts, £59 – Great for festival-themed hens, styled with beige cowboy boots. Both are hand-wash only. Alternatively, Odd Muse's Belted Blazer (£145) offers a cinched waist.
- Gold Woven Leather Clutch Bag, £46 – A versatile clutch for multiple nights out. For a cross-body option, M&S has a cream Buckle Detail Cross Body Saddle Bag (£36) with gold hardware.
- White Boutique Lace Bandeau Top, £46 – Easy to style for nights out and post-wedding. Pair with simple accessories and a classic blazer for Riviera chic.
This edit has something for every bride-to-be, from statement tops to standout accessories, ensuring you're covered for any hen celebration.
