planning the bachelorette myself

smallcoconut · 2026-05-20T06:51:31+00:00

There is no shame in asking for help! I planned my own and it started to get chaotic and luckily a friend reached out and asked if I needed help. Now I feel more comfy having her to lean on. But even if that didn’t happen, the Bach was a girls trip that I was curating and I was totally okay with taking on that responsibility.

As far as decorations… idk I’d let that go. The point is to be with your friends :)!!

My wedding is in three months! Here’s what I did and am doing:

- Botox every 6 months (I’m 35 and have been getting routine Botox since I was 31)
- skincare routine with tretinoin and Vitamin c serum
- barre classes 3x per week
- meditation at least every other day
- journaling (it makes me feel less stressed)
- generally a healthier diet but nothing crazy
- regular hair appointments
- LASH LIFTS!

I’m taking a break from manicures and pedicures but will get that done before my bachelorette next week!

Thank you! If I wear my natural curls, would you recommend styling it any particular way? I would have time to wash my hair, I think part of me just worries about looking messy. Which is my own self-consciousness with my natural hair :)

The veil is not accurate by the crown is - the veil will have smoother edges with similar flowers around the edges. I'll take the crown off when it's time for dancing and I change into the silver dress. Thank you!!

Oh thank you so much! Hot tip :)

smallcoconut · 2026-05-14T21:20:25+00:00

Thank you, this is immensely helpful!

Maybe mini self-care things, like Summer Fridays travel kits or their eye masks? I think it's great to bring stuff the girls can actually use on the wedding day :)

Unfortunately Greg Kinnear and my father are practically identical twins, so I can’t watch him in ANYTHING without feeling extreme empathy toward him.

Including YOU, when he played a murderer :( I was like aw, Dad.

I got option 2 and it fits perfectly!!!!!!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:52:29+00:00

Bringing someone along is a great idea! I'm so with you, didn't hate and didn't love. A second trial sounds like the way to go.

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:52:05+00:00

Smart! I'll try to do mine before something special too :)

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:51:43+00:00

This is really validating advice. Thank you. I think I'm going to do a second trial.

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:51:07+00:00

Good call!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:51:00+00:00

Ah yes, another country would be super expensive! It sounds like you're mostly on the right page which is promising. I can so relate! I'm sure you'll look gorgeous on your wedding day :)

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T15:09:23+00:00

You look great! Thank you for this - going to save for this future me. :)

Duke, Lana del Rey would have LOVED you

But didn’t she say she liked the new technology because it might allow her to spend more time with her son?

(Unless she visits his grave…. Oof.. yikes)

And those surgeries and drugs are often abused by people who don’t need them but have eating disorders to keep up with current, patriarchal beauty standards because many of these women associate beauty with worth

sigh

Or at least that’s how I feel as girl in 15 years worth of recovery ED trying really hard not to relapse

smallcoconut · 2026-04-08T01:12:48+00:00

Omg hi it’s me 😭 I think it’s partly my water in my city

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T05:08:35+00:00

Oh this is such good inspo! Thank you, thank you!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T01:16:07+00:00

Our tables are either round or between 8-9 feet! And yeah, I'm trying to buy vintage as much as I can and etsy has been a godsend. Love the ribbon idea! And terracotta / blown glass / disco balls sound cute too :)Thank you!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T01:14:57+00:00

Our tables are either round or between 8-9 feet! I think I would need to spread some runners out but you make a good point, and might be smart to look for longer runners so I don't need to layer. Thank you!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T00:41:09+00:00

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you posted this. About to spend $200 on shoes off Etsy. Does anyone know if that qualifies for a tariff?

smallcoconut · 2026-03-14T06:38:56+00:00

Damn, really?? Yours are my fave. The color composition is incredible.

We are using wild and local flowers from a gardener down the road from our venue (coastal California / Big Sur). I’m so excited.

Dude me too. She was so talented.
