Post No. 300! - Unique Bachelorette Party Ideas

Woohoo!  Today is Post No. 300!  To celebrate, I'm sharing a few of my favorite unique ideas for bachelorette parties and/or bridal showers.  The rules have changed and spending quality time with your girlfriends is now the focus of the modern bachelorette party.  Here are a few of my favorite new and tasteful bachelorette party ideas that won't make your grandma or husband-to-be blush:

Flower Arranging:  All your best friends together in one place surrounded by gorgeous fresh flowers... what could be better?  {via Twig & Thistle}

Jewelry Making Class:  Let your creativity run wild!  So much fun and everyone gets to take home a treasure! {via Today's Mama}

Cooking Class:  Spend an evening learning new techniques and recipes while enjoying each others' company.  {via Elizabeth Ann Designs}

Campout:  Possibly my favorite idea!  Roasting marshmallows, playing cards, tenting and swimming at the lake would be a spectacular way to spend your bachelorette weekend.  (You'll have to imagine this set-up with a lake and a few pine trees.) {via Elizabeth Ann Designs}

Spa Day:  A day at the spa could be just the relaxation you'll need before your big day! {Spa Paradiso}

Overnight Getaway:  Road trip to Seattle for an overnight stay at a luxurious hotel and fabulous downtown shopping! {Alexis Hotel - Seattle}

I've been promising this for a long time and I thank you for your patience!  I promise you'll find it was well worth the wait.  My goal since the start-up of Spokane Bride Blog in February of 2010 has been to provide a space to help Spokane brides locate area vendors and be given the tools & options to achieve their dream wedding locally and even on a budget.  Today, I give you SBB's New Wedding Vendor Directory.  A list of Spokane & surrounding area wedding vendors & professionals to browse and help you choose the vital elements of your wedding.  The Vendor Directory is for informational purposes so if you are looking for a list of my preferred vendors please see the *Star Vendors page.  If you would like your company to be included in the directory please email your request to spokanebrideblog{at}gmx{dot}com.

Spokane Wedding Venue - The White Room

I took the grand tour of Spokane's hottest, hippest new wedding venue, The White Room, yesterday morning.  Let me tell you, this space rocked my socks off!  It's so fresh!  The White Room is the office space of The Purple Turtle Inc., a cutting edge creative agency in downtown Spokane.  They offer The White Room for all sorts of events with no hourly limitations.  It is a 3000+ square foot modern, open space equipped with a gorgeous professional kitchen, four 52" flatscreens and pretty natural light.  Its minimalistic style is so refreshing and offers a blank slate for any colors you choose for your event.  Decorating for a wedding, bridal shower or reception couldn't be easier here.  If you are looking for a stylish & sophisticated venue for your wedding, shower, rehearsal or reception look no further!  Rachel Castlen of The Purple Turtle Inc., oversees the events and would love to hear from you!  Send her an email with questions or to set up a tour and make sure to let her know you I sent you!  

It's so beautiful!  I planned several events for this space in my head as Rachel was showing me around yesterday.
