Fun & Fabulous Places to Have a Bachelorette
Over the weekend I asked my best friends to be bridesmaids (more to come on that soon!), so I’m officially kicking off my Bachelorette series, which will cover the planning leading up to my Bachelorette, and then the trip in its entirety! I’m not sharing where it will be quite yet, but I will say that it’s one of these destinations and will be happening this summer…
So I thought it would be best to start this series with the destination/location part of a Bachelorette. Every Bachelorette party doesn’t need to be a trip, and I’ve seen some incredible ones that are set in the same city or hometown of the bride, but since those could happen anywhere, I wanted to focus in on ten places that could be destination Bachelorettes, or places that you live already!
Along with the locations I’m sharing, I also thought it would be fitting to include where I’d stay, what fun Bachelorette themes you could lean into for the decor, and what I’d wear as the bride, so you’ll find my commentary on these below too!
I hope this is helpful whether you’re planning a Bachelorette trip for yourself or for one of your best friends or family members (my sister and I are tag-teaming mine!). I also listed additional destinations and other resources I love at the bottom of this post too! Next on my list in this series?! Bachelorette DECOR… 🎉
