Happy Bridal Talk Tuesday ladies! Next week is officially “wedding week” so it seems appropriate that we discuss my bachelorette weekend in Charleston this week. I had absolutely the best time. I had all of my besties all in one place (except Bethany who got a new job and had to move and get settled to start work immediately.) I loved spending a weekend in the South and Charleston has always been one of my favorite places. I was amazed by how inexpensive the drinks were compared to New York. $4 vodkas?!?! And it was great to get some pimento cheese, macaroni and cheese, and Southern Hospitality.
Corey’s sister, Kate, and I flew in from LaGuardia (now known as my least favorite airport) on Thursday. We arrived late afternoon, stocked up on a few supplies/Skinnygirl, and enjoyed catching up with Anna and Elizabeth. Then, we went to dinner at Magnolia’s. If you’re ever in Charleston, I highly recommend this restaurant. Upscale Southern cuisine and so delicious!
Then, we headed out to the bars. I used my Kindergarten teacher skills to win a game of “drunk musical chairs” and win six free shots. Then, thanks to my future sister-in-law, I was called onto the bar for some bachelorette games. I requested that Elizabeth join me.
Starting Friday, we had a full schedule of fun, each day with a theme.
On Friday, we headed to breakfast then headed to get a group mani/pedi. I got Essie’s Splash of Grenadine, which I’ve been wanting to try. Love!
We did a little window shopping on King Street then headed to Hyman’s Seafood for a delicious lunch. Then we checked out the market and headed back to the hotel for a power nap and a happy hour. My cousin and maid of honor, Anna, made some awesome favor boxes for everyone.
Friday night, we headed to dinner at Wild Wings, a college favorite of mine and my sorority sisters.
Elizabeth was super excited about her $5 pitcher special.
Elizabeth love!
My little, Molly, joined us. Then, my maid of honor, Elizabeth, met up with us for dinner after her after-work drive from Atlanta. Then, we headed out to another fun night on the town.
Saturday morning we headed to Folly beach to soak up a little sun.
We were armed with our super cute “bachlorette” cups. Minor misspelling there but still adorable.
Saturday evening, Elizabeth, my maid of honor, hosted a lingerie shower back at the hotel.
I had a glowstick wand to indicate that I was the guest of honor.
There were petit fors.
And champagne.
And games. Pin the kiss on the hunk.
Which I failed at. 🙁
But not Elizabeth.
There were gifts, which are for Corey’s eyes only. Well..except for this fun gag gift.
Which I had to try on and model immediately, over my dress of course.
Then, the girls and I went to Social Wine Bar for a late dinner and drinks. I love tapas restaurants!
We headed out on the town again afterwards to complete a scavenger hunt. Thank you Molly for keeping up with the heart.
