Hot Miami Nights - A Retro Neon Hen's Night

Hot Miami Nights

STYLED BY CONFETTI FAIR PHOTOS BY ZOOM IMAGES

This styled shoot is part of Confetti Fair's United States of Party collaboration; a collection of 23 unique parties and events – all inspired by a US location.

This hen’s party was styled on a traditional girls’ night out in the city, complete with bar, bottle service, and wild Eighties aesthetics.

What inspired you to choose Miami?

Miami was most suited for the direction we wanted to take. The whole scene was inspired by an amazing Japanese artist called Yoko Honda, who creates fantastical dreamscape scenes featuring 80s aesthetics and ‘Miami-esque’ cities. The art genre is called ‘Vaporwave’. Miami Vice also came to mind when planning.

What influenced the theme and styling?

The 80’s and Yoko Honda’s art was a big part of the styling. From this, we included a lot of the era’s defining elements such as bold colours, Memphis inspired-patterns and retro fonts. Also, the set-up is meant to represent a hen’s night set at a rooftop Miami bar, hence the arrangement.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

In terms of trends, we included the streamer wall and neon sign which look so good together. We’ve been wanting to try it for a while. In terms of DIY, my favourite was the retro VHS cassette tape favours we made. We also made coasters by printing the pattern on thick card and cutting them into circles.

What is your favourite thing about the USA?

Everything! The shopping, the culture, the food and even the party talent. In fact, it is probably one of our favourite holiday destinations of all time!
