We chatted to Real Bride Alice Amelia about her 'Golden Hour' bachelorette in Ibiza. Dive in below to discover everything from the outfits 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?
My Name is Alice Amelia, I'm originally from Cheshire but im now based in
London. I'm a Model/Content Creator and mum of two!
2. When and where did you get married?
I got married in July by Lake Como in Italy.
3. Tell us about your Bachelorette Party. Where did you go? Who did you go with?
I went with all my bridesmaids to Ibiza.
4. Did you have a theme, what was the vibe, how did you choose the aesthetic?
I went with all my bridesmaids to Ibiza. We had different themes every night.
Night 1 - Bright fun colours
Night 2 - Neutrals
Night 3 - Cowgirl (my husband is Texan)
5. What did you wear? (we want all the details)
I hired a stylist who I have worked with before to help me with my outfits and we put together an inspiration board.
For the first night colours I took my inspiration from Kourtney Kardasians' wedding looks, I wanted to wear red (something a little different) so I did a red mini dress from Poster Girl and then I brought some red lace and with help from the girls we created a matching veil and I wore aquazurra shoes to match.
The second night I chose a beautiful white hooded dress from Bronx and Banco (think Kylie Minogue vibes), I felt so good in this dress it was so easy to wear! I matched it with beautiful Rene Caovilla bridal shoes.
The final night for the cowgirl look I wore a leather mini skirt which I had bought from the market in Ibiza years ago, a white corset from Areyouami, Isabel Marant brown boots and of course my Gigi and Olive veil fantastically finished the whole look off.
6. How involved were you in the organisation? (Type A Bride or did you let your MOH take charge?)
It was a team effort between myself and my maids of honour, I decided on where I wanted to go and managed to sort out a great deal for us all at the Six Senses Ibiza (thank you Talana) BUT the girls planned fun surprises for me and organized all the activities.
7. What was your most expensive purchase? Was it worth it?
Probably the hotel stay, and yes it was worth it, we had the best time there. As well as some fun nights out, we really enjoyed relaxing at the hotel and using the spa!
8. What was your best budget purchase?
Using a stylist for all of my outfits - shoutout to Danni Stylist. I highly recommend doing this if you can for your hen. you want to look and feel your best and she definitely did that for me.
THE BRIDESMAIDS RECEIVED A SELECTION OF GIGI & OLIVE PERSONALISED GIFTS
9. Did you do anything special for your group that you would recommend to other brides?
I prepared them all the most amazing goodie bags, which included a hand
written letter each from me (which was a lovely moment watching them all read my words), lovely Gigi and Olive personalised items like slippers, spa headbands, caps etc and items from the Bridal Beauty Company.
I highly recommend making a goodie bag for your bridesmaids I really love seeing my girls still using all the of the items and carrying their bags around.
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?
Keep it as relaxed as possible, the wedding planning is stressful enough this is supposed to be a time for you to enjoy with your besties. You don't want your hen to add to the stress. I made sure the itinerary wasn't too jam packed, mixing down time in with activities so we all came back not feeling too exhausted.
Involve your crew in the planning, its always better to be a team effort.
Ask your maid of honor to take on the job of talking to the rest of the team about logistics and admin. Make an itinerary so everyone knows what they are doing. I also told them all that they were welcome to come and go as they pleased I didn't want anyone to feel like that HAD to do a dinner or lunch if they just wanted to chill.
12. What are 3 things from G&O on your Wishlist?
