I challenge you not to sing ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ as you stroll through today’s feature!  Its been stuck in my head on a loop the entire time I have been working on this post!  Caitlin Gillespie of Las Vegas’s Love + Lilikoi Event Planning reached out to me with a unique idea that I simply had to snatch up!  Caitlin’s team focuses on throwing fabulous bachelorette parties in Sin City, however for this styled session, she wanted to put a twist on it, making it a bachelorette party boudoir session with a French Mardi Gras theme!  I am utterly loving the idea of getting dressed up {or down depending on how you look at it!} with your closest girls and having a completely feminine girly time together in your lingerie best!  Upon arrival to the Rumor Boutique Hotel, the girls were greeted with Alcohol-Infused Cupcakes from Sin City Cupcake, truly the only proper way to arrive to a bachelorette party if you ask me!  As the day got rolling, the bubbly flowed, gorgeous photos of the group were taken highlighting girl power & femininity with a soft sensual undertone.  As the night rolled on, the ladies joined a bachelor party noshing on French Quarter treats from Beignets to Po’boys.  What I love most about the session is the how wonderfully sensual it is without crossing the line.  This session truly is a celebration of female friendship and the unique bond that can form between us all.  I don’t know about you, but I love these group boudoir sessions and can’t wait to see more of them!

A Word From The Team:

“A sophisticated and sultry evening of makeovers, Champagne concoctions & canapés”

The bride-to-be and her three bridesmaids all met at Rumor Boutique Hotel in Las Vegas to check-in to their pool-side suite.  Upon arrival to their room, the girls were surprised with Champagne and Better than Sex Cupcakes, a mixture of raspberries, vodka & champagne, and white chocolate ganache.  Yum!  The bride-to-be was then surprised with a glittering crown, sparkling scepter, and gorgeous white Mardis Gras mask.  Everything needed to be the perfect Mardis Gras Queen.

The girls were then treated to a full in-suite makeover, including hair & makeup, and a sexy boudoir photo shoot, complete with vintage gold pillows (for a pillow fight of course!), Mardis Gras masks, colorful beads, a bath tub, and lots of bubbly flowed!  Next, the party moved into the bar room for cocktail hour.  The girls were served French 75 cocktails consisting of Champagne, Gin, sugar, and lemon, a classic New Orleans libation.

It was then on to the dining room where the girls partied with a bachelor party, and feasted on juicy mini shrimp Po’boys & crispy hushpuppies with dill sauce, and indulged in warm vanilla bean beignets with chocolate sauce & giant blueberry macarons.  As a parting gift, the bridesmaids and bride-to-be all received a French boite stuffed with lavender beauty products, candles, Champagne truffle chocolate bars, and a bottle of Champagne!
