It’s time for our annual girls weekend trip, and this year I decided to make it extra special by asking a few of my closest friends to be my bridesmaids. I take you along for all the real-life prep—grabbing lunch with the girlies, running to Aldi for charcuterie stuff, fruit, sweets, and games (because I was in charge of the snacks, obviously), and then finishing up packing before we hit the road. I also share a little backstory on why this trip means so much to me—my family has done it forever, and I’ve literally never missed it, so it felt like the perfect weekend for bridesmaid proposals. Once we get to the house, it’s all about pizza, shopping, and the actual proposal moments (yes, there were tears). I put together bridesmaid boxes and even made a cute little magazine plus a heartfelt letter, because I wanted it to feel personal and not just like a “here’s a gift” moment. We also did the fun stuff: a candle-making workshop, wine, a hike with goats (aka a long walk with goats), dinner, and s’mores. If you’re in your bridal era and want bridesmaid proposal ideas that feel meaningful but still super fun, this vlog is basically the blueprint.
