Tell us about your bachelorette...
It was the ultimate nostalgic getaway. We went to the South of France, which is where I grew up, so it felt incredibly personal and meaningful.
My amazing maids of honour organised a dreamy weekend for 18 of us in a villa near St Tropez, filled with activities, poolside lounging, and so many thoughtful little moments. From Pilates and risotto nights to a surprise lunch at Le Club 55, every detail was full of love.

What was on your itinerary?
We kicked off with a terrace lunch and some classic hen games (I arrived in full Harry Potter costume, naturally), followed by pool time and a glam dinner at the villa with mushroom risotto cooked by my friend Izzy (it’s handy having a trained chef in your bridal party!).
The next day we had a Pilates session hosted by my bridesmaid Stef from her app WeGlow, relaxed in the sun, then headed to a surprise lunch at Le Club 55 - my favourite spot. We had a delicious lunch following by drinks (French Bloom for me!) on the beach. The final night was all about a cosy dinner, more pool hangs, and soaking up our last evening together. Before heading to the airport I got in a game of tennis and a final dip in the pool, ending the weekend on a high.
What did you rent from the app?
I chose a mix of statement pieces and beautiful classics: a pink Chanel two-piece for Le Club 55 (my favourite ever outfit to date) which I paired with a Lulu Guinness shell bag. A mini beaded Oceanus dress for our first night, and some statement Calla Lily Cult Gaia shoes for the final evening.
What was in your bachelorette survival kit?
As I don’t drink, the weekend was actually more wholesome than maybe your traditional hen do haha so I didn’t need to ‘survive’ as such. My saviours were my friends Stef and Anisa who did my hair and make-up and made me feel like a princess. I also loved getting some exercise in to keep energy levels high. My biggest tip would just be making sure you spend time with each person. That was the most special part to me, seeing all my favourite people together getting on so well.
Your top tip to a Maid of Honour planning a bachelorette as a Bride-to-be?
Have a few surprises up your sleeves - when I found out we were going to my favourite beach club I had to pick my jaw off the floor! But also, make sure there’s a bit of downtime in the schedule. A relaxed morning by the pool can be just as special as a big dinner out and some of my favourite memories are just us lounging around, singing bad renditions of 90s pop songs and being silly.
