#TheAshBash in the Hamptons!


How to Plan a Bachelorette in the Hamptons - #TheAshBash - By Kelsey O'Toole
So it’s time to plan the perfect bachelorette, in this case it was for my sister, so as MOH and someone who works in the wedding industry I wanted everything to be awesome, and the process stress-free. Since she had a summer wedding in New England, we planned a Hamptons Beach Getaway just before Memorial Day weekend!




Here is what we did:
Thursday
  • Arrive in Southampton  3 PM, welcome drinks at the house
  • Dinner at 75 Main 7:00 PM followed by bonfire & s’mores
    • Outfits-comfortable & Cozy


    Friday


    Saturday
      • Breakfast at house, 12 PM wine tour at Wolffer Estate Vineyard & light lunch. (Everyone bought their favorite wine to pair with dinner later that night)
      • 6:30 PM Dinner at house by Private Chef, Oscar Monterosso of Indulge Bespoke Chefs
      • Outfits- Casual dresses,sun bonnet/glasses encouraged.



    Sunday
    • Breakfast at the house & relax by pool
    • Take “morning after” pics- think Bridesmaids (the movie)
    • Say Good-Byes!


    Pro Planning Tip: Set a strict budget, make sure everyone’s on board, designate tasks if you need help, but most importantly keep it fun and stress free--a wedding is stressful enough -unnecessarily- so seriously HAVE FUN WITH IT!!! XOXO

    About the Author
    "When my sister was little she told my mom she wanted her wedding gifts wrapped in "The Little Mermaid" it was her favorite movie and years ago my mom found that wrapping paper and bought a bunch to wrap her wedding gifts in. So when I found The Mermaid Inn Beach house to rent it just all kind of fell in place."
