Wedding Wednesday: The Bachelorette Party

I could barely contain my excitement! It started on Thursday afternoon, when one of the girls at work brought a giant bouquet of flowers to me at my desk. I had no clue who they were from, so I ripped open the card. I had to read it three times before I understood what it meant.

From my maid of honour and best friend, who by-the-way, lives in Ontario, the card said she was sorry to have missed my shower a few weeks ago (which I will do a post on soon, I promise!) but the only reason she didn't come was because she'd already planned to be in town for my bachelorette party... which I knew nothing about! So it was a surprise up until two days before the event! Perfect!

I spent Friday night painting my nails and toes, packing a bag, and deciding what to wear.

Saturday afternoon, I was whisked away (after giving giant hugs to my MOH/BFF) to an incredible hotel suite with a giant private balcony,  a harbour view, and two kitchens!

The first event was a wine and chocolate pairing at Obladee. We had two white wines and a red wine to pair with three different types of chocolate. Our wine guy was very knowledgable and taught us how to swirl and sniff and search for "notes" in our wine.

After the wine and chocolate we went back to the hotel, where there was a ton of food and drinks to be indulged in! MOH/BFF completely outdid herself with all the preparations. She should probably moonlight as a caterer.

We played a few laid-back games, I had many stories told about me, and the girls dressed me up in lovely accessories!

Details

Dress: Dynamite

Shoes: Nine West

Accessories: From the imaginations of my beautiful friends

Next, we went to Taboo for VIP bottle service. Drinks and dancing ensued. It was a wonderful chance to get together with some of my absolute favourite girls and have a night that rivalled any night I've ever had on the town. I seriously had the most fun I could ever imagine having and I was so touched that my friends (especially MOH/BFF) put that much effort into making sure I had a great time.

Even my drink had an accessory.

Hope you've enjoyed the post! We're four weeks away from tying the knot!

All About the Booties

You know that feeling when you really want a pair of shoes to be as comfy on the run as they seemed to be in the store? I was so happy that these booties passed the real world test!

Suede often scares me because scuffs tend to be easier to see (and harder to hide) than leather, but these fit me so perfect, I had to have them. My feet are really narrow and these are slim enough that my feet feel perfectly hugged.

I was too excited when Nine West invited me to see their new store at Mic Mac Mall! This is the third pair of Nine West shoes for me, and they are is my absolute go-to brand for shoes that are hot and functional. A big thank you to the staff who put up with me trying on probably ten pairs of shoes before I made up my mind!

Tank: Dynamite

Jeans: Gap

Booties: c/o Nine West Shoe Studio - Mic Mac Mall

Bracelet: Stella & Dot

I wore this to the afternoon portion of my amazing bachelorette party, a wine and chocolate tasting at Obladee. The rest of the details will be in a later post. I haven't had that much fun in a really long time. My fabulous maid of honour, group of friends, and family worked so hard to make it a perfect night for me. I was completely overwhelmed with all the love.

The (Other) Bachelorette

My friend is officially going off the market, and her last-single-night-out was on Saturday.

I had no idea what anyone else was wearing so I decided to chance it and go fairly casual.

Details:

Cardigan: Kenzie (the late and great Margolians, Truro.... I miss that place....)

Tunic/dress: Forever 21 (South Portland)

Leggings: Urban Behavior (Toronto)

Shoes: Nine West (Edmonton)

Bracelet: Random shop in St. John's, Newfoundland

Earrings: Le Chateau (Halifax)

Necklace: Gift

I think I picked a suitable outfit..... but it's always so hard to tell with bachelorette parties. Sometimes girls get really dressed up.

Back view

Nothing says "I'm getting married" quite like a pink boa.

This is just the start of the wedding festivities for the summer! Hope you had fun, Christie!

Now to discuss the other Bachelorette. Was anyone else super surprised she eliminated Sean?  I thought he was the frontrunner! Who do you think she'll choose in the end? I think Jef and Emily look cute together and Sean should be the next Bachelor.
