Scottsdale, Arizona Bachelorette Itinerary for the Unconventional Brides
For the brides that would prefer a low-key weekend spent by the pool, relaxing at the spa, and/or out in nature, this itinerary is for you!
Growing up in Los Angeles, I’ve had more than my fair share of partying in Vegas and going bar hopping in DTLA so when it came to planning my bachelorette, I wanted something that would represent me and what I stand for. Self-care is a priority for me and everyday wellness is what I preach, but I was worried that my girls wouldn’t feel the same way in having a chill weekend versus one that would be wild. Fortunately, I have the best support group in my life and the girls were down for “whatever I want to do” because after all, it is my bachelorette. So a reminder to focus on what you really want to do versus what you think everyone else will enjoy.
Below is our itinerary for a weekend in Scottsdale, to inspire any other brides-to-be out there to consider Arizona for their bachelorette!
