A Bachelorette Party in the Lowcountry

When it comes to "The Last Fling before the Ring", the concept of the traditional bachelorette party – one wild night out with the girls swigging champagne from the bottle in the back of a limo – has … shall we say .. lost its fizz.

Today’s brides are treating themselves and their bridal parties to full out and fabulous destination Bachelorette Party Weekends that can be tailor-booked to perfectly suit every pre-wedding mood and fancy, especially if your chosen destination is Savannah/Hilton Head Island.   Here are three very different but all fabulous Lowcountry Luxury Bachelorette Party Weekend ideas guaranteed to get you and your girls so very memorably relaxed and ready for the big day! Spencer Special Events boils it down for you today. 

Palmetto Bluff Spa & Relaxation Weekend

For those looking for a little rest and relaxation before the wedding hustle and bustle kick in, a five-star spa weekend at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff is the perfect bachelorette party destination. Nestled along the banks of the May River – and just minutes from the beaches of Hilton Head -- The Inn at Palmetto Bluff offers bridal parties the ultimate in southern luxury, dining and pampering. Choose from two, three and four bedroom cottages featuring every weekend amenity, including a world class spa where your bridal party can spend the entire day enjoying the incredible services, steam rooms, saunas and relaxation rooms. The spa has recently undergone some renovation, the new cottage spa duplexes offer superior pampering and are ideal for groups. After a dressy, gourmet dinner at Bluffalos, climb back into casual gear and hang out around an outdoor campfire snacking on S’mores, snapping selfies, and creating a scrapbook full of last fling before the ring memories that will last your bridal party a lifetime. www.palmettobluff.com.

Private Beach House Weekend

If your idea of the perfect bachelorette party weekend is having tons of casual fun in the sun with a few of life’s luxuries thrown into the mix, a private beach house rental on Hilton Head Island is just the ticket. We recommend Island Getaway Rentals for their fantastic knowledge of their properties and tremendous service. (Ask for Amanda!)  Top of the line amenities and extras make these properties truly special, including private pools, oceanfront views, and the very best in interior furnishings. Best of all, these gorgeous private homes are all located within two blocks of the beach or less than a five minute bike ride to the beach. Spend the day with your toes in the sand listening to live guitar (The Tiki Hut) and sipping fun fruity frozen drinks (Pool Bar Jim’s) -- or relaxing by the pool while you nosh on chili cheese fries and share a gallon jug of slushy adult fun from The Frosty Frog). After a nice cool shower, hail a Diamond Cab SUV and head to the outdoor upper deck at  Sante Fe Café for dinner, followed by after dinner drinks and live music at The Jazz Corner at Wexford or The Piano Bar in Sea Pines Center. To wind up your fun in the sun bachelorette weekend, a casual, laid back patio Sunday brunch at Sunrise Café -- featuring the Island’s BEST Bloody Mary Bar -- is a must. PS: The shrimp hash is to DIE for!

 

Savannah City Weekend

For brides who are looking for a little spice to heat up the Southern sweet in their bachelorette party weekend, Savannah – just a 45 drive from the beaches of Hilton Head Island – is the perfect blend of bright lights and historic gentility, making it a fabulous destination. Named one of the Top 30 Hotels in the South by Conde Nast Traveler, The Bohemian Hotel, located on Savannah’s historic riverfront, is one of the hippest and hottest hotels in town, featuring a roof top bar that boasts the best view of the city bar none. Spend the day shopping and lunching on famous Broughton Street, return to The Bohemian in time for Happy Hour at Rocks on The Roof, enjoy a fabulous Italian dinner at Garibaldi’s, and then head out for a hot and spicy Southern night at the clubs on River Street. 

Whatever your style is, we've been in the Lowcountry for over a decade and can recommend some great ideas for you!  At Spencer Special Events, we're happy to point you in the right direction and make arrangements for you too.  Cheers to the bachelorette party!
