OLIVIA MILLER'S 'LAST TOAST ON THE COAST'!
We chatted to Real Bride Olivia Miller about her fabulous bachelorette in sunny Marbella, or in her words her 'Last Toast on the Coast'. Dive in below to discover everything from the themes to the added G & O details that made it unforgettable!
1. Tell us about YOU; who are you, where do you live and what do you do?
I'm Olivia, I live just outside of London and I'm a fashion and beauty content creator.
2. When and where do you get married?
We’re getting married in Tuscany at the end of June! We also had our legal wedding in London at Old Marylebone Town Hall.
3. Tell us about your Bachelorette Party. Where did you go? Who did you go with?
Me and my sisters and closest friends went to Marbella for a long weekend.
4. Did you have a theme, what was the vibe, how did you choose the aesthetic?
My MOH and bridesmaid did such a good job with choosing classy and chic themes for weekend. Each night was a different vibe while staying true to my style:
Friday Paella Night at the Villa - summer garden party, pastels, bright colours & florals (we could insert the picture of the group in their colourful dresses here).
Saturday Yacht Day - black swimwear, crochet cover ups and sundresses with me the bride in white swimwear complete with G&O accessories (Personalised Bridal Sarong, Ribbon Bow Veil and White Feather Fan with Tassel).
Saturday Night - golden girls, an outfit that shimmers & sparkles.
Sunday - relaxed beach club attire.
5. What did you wear? (we want all the details)
My favourite outfits of the weekend:
- Bandeau dress with cut out detail from Pretty Lavish
Custom
- Custom made lace and pearl mini dress from Rebecca Tembo
- Swimwear from Monday swimwear
6. How involved were you in the organisation? (Type A Bride or did you let your MOH take charge?)
I’m usually a Type A bride, but my MOH offered to take over and I couldn’t have been more grateful! The itinerary was a complete surprise which made the weekend even more exciting and special.
7. What was your most expensive purchase? Was it worth it?
Cult Gaia Enid marbeled acrylic clutch - absolutely worth it as I know I’ll get my wear out of it during our Italy wedding week and in the summer, such a timeless and beautiful clutch!
8. What was your best budget purchase?
A flower clip from ASOS that I added onto swimwear - a fun way to elevate your bikini!
9. Did you do anything special for your group that you would recommend to other brides?
We included some of my favourite beauty essentials in the goodie bags for the girls (Elemis gel eye patches, L’Oreal Paris gloss & hairspray, Caudalie after sun) and personalised accessories from G&O.
10. Anything you would change?
I wouldn’t change a thing, it was one of the most fun weekends I’ve ever had filled with so much love!
11. What are your 3 top tips to other brides planning their Bach?
1. Get help planning; it was such a relief having the Bach planned for me, one less thing to do when planning a wedding (a huge task already)
2. Decide on home/destination early on and let your girls know as soon as possible in advance so they can schedule it in their diaries
3. Make sure you have areas of down time so that everyone can have a moment to recharge (power nap if they need) and do their own thing
12. What are 3 things from G&O on your Wishlist?
