Nashville, Vegas and Miami often steal the spotlight for girls’ weekends, but a bachelorette party in Tampa, FL is the way to go! In less than 2 hours, the Nashville crew landed in Florida, and the final fiesta was underway.
Sarah’s MOH, Erica, planned the entire weekend, and she knocked it out of the park. Upon arrival, Erica had beach towels waiting for each guest, and the house was decorated with balloons, stir sticks with Trey’s face, and a huge BRIDE banner. It was the BEST surprise!
Here are 3 reasons we loved the Tampa bachelorette weekend!
- Fun in the sun
What more could we say? If you love palm trees + the water, then bump Tampa to the top of your list. The bachelorette weekend kicked off at an epic airbnb that had a spectacular pool. Check out these views! Most of the weekend was spent outside watching the sunrise and sunset. Since the house had so much space, the ladies were able to gather around the dining table for a couple of meals and played some fun games that had everyone cackling.
The next morning, the crew hopped into their rental and headed to St. Pete Beach for a cabana day at Caddy’s. There’s nothing better than Florida in November. The water was a bit chilly, but the 70 degree temperature was perfect. They laid out, chatted, sipped + noshed the day away.
2. You stand out!
If you’ve ever been to Broadway, you’ll spot a bachelorette party on every block. That wasn’t the case in Tampa. We saw a handful of other groups, but it was so fun to stand out in the crowd. Don’t forget to curate a few dress codes. Sarah requested bright colors and all black!
3. Trendy hot spots
The crew dined at Tampa’s trendiest restaurants that required advance reservations. On the first night, Sarah requested everyone have a causal hang, but on the second night, the ladies headed to Azure in the heart of downtown. It’s located in the spectacular Edition Hotel, and the reviews did not disappoint. The Michelin-starred chef had the crew swooning over the Greek cuisine (and Sarah thrilled for her upcoming honeymoon!) The ambience and spectacular views made the experience one to beat. After dinner, the group popped by The Punch Room that was a total vibe, and then headed to the rooftop for some Tampa Bay views. If you make it to The Edition, don’t miss out on the infamous white stairwell photos.
The final evening, the bachelorette crew dined at The Dan. The roaring 20s inspired speakeasy did not disappoint. As always, we highly recommend hiring a photographer to capture the memories! The ladies had a photoshoot at the stunning Hotel Flor before dinner, and these photos will last a lifetime.
Tampa is the perfect destination for a bachelorette weekend thanks to the sunshine, fun nightlife, and delicious dining. Tampa provided the perfect amount of relaxation (naps were taken), belly laughs and beach time with the besties.
