5 Tips for Planning a Black Southern Belle Bachelorette Party with Nashville Flair

5 Tips for Planning a Black Southern Belle Bachelorette Party with Nashville Flair 5
It’s something special about an HBCU bride getting all of her sorority sisters and friends together to party one last time before the big day. Bachelorette parties are one of the most important pre-wedding rituals. What isn’t more necessary than dancing away the wedding jitters with the girls you love the most?  If it’s one southern city that can be the spot for these festivities it’s Nashville. Learn these 5 tips for planning a Nashville-based bachelorette party courtesy of  Loews Vanderbilt Hotel.

1.    Plan Ahead

With the fall wedding season becoming one of the most popular in the Southeast, make sure your plan at least a 1-2 months in advance for a destination bachelorette party. The bigger the group, the more you should prepare. Take advantage of Labor Day deals online for airfare and car rentals.

2.    R&R

Find accommodations for a destination bachelorette party can be challenging when you’re working with a large group. Take advantage of hotel packages and amenities, like the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel’s #SQUAD Getaway Package that includes luxury accommodations with rollaway beds, food and beverage credit, plus a unique group itinerary. Need a reservation? No problem! Ask the concierge desk for details on each of the itinerary destinations.

3.    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

For a bachelorette party in Nashville, hitting up Lower Broadway is a must. We recommend checking out Robert’s Western World for some old-school country music and dancing. Looking for something with a modern twist? Pinewood Social’s famous bowling alley and a show at Basement East are also great spots to check out.

4.    Brunch and Beyond

A proper brunch is a must for a Southern bachelorette party. For an amazing view of downtown Nashville and the riverfront, check out Acme Feed and Seed’s rooftop bar. Other ideas: take the #squad for wine tastings at City Winery, for small bites at BarTaco, to enjoy savory dishes at Mason’s, and to 5 Daughters Bakery or Sprinkles Cupcakes for sweet treats.

5.    Make Time to Primp

For some down time with the girls, retail therapy in Nashville’s 12th South Neighborhood, including Emerson Grace, Serendipity and Cadeau. And no getaway is complete without some pampering. After 12th South, we recommend blowouts at The Dry House before going out on the town.
