Hope's Bachelorette in Miami

Event planning does not come naturally to me. (Especially in a city I'd never visited until this past weekend!) But I'm pretty proud of the weekend I planned for Hope and her bridesmaids in Miami. Not to toot my own horn, but TOOT TOOT, y'all. ;)

Thursday

Hope and I arrived early and stayed with family. We got to know the city and loaded up on cortaditos.

 I seriously didn't think about my hot pink luggage matching my neon pink dress until the security guard in the airport made a comment. Oopsie! I enjoyed dressing for the occasion as my sissy is pink obsessed.

 I became obsessed with cortaditos this trip as inspired by Khloe, my favorite Kardashian. (Yes, I enjoy KUWTK. Owning it.) Cortaditos are so good. And it wasn't until after we had our first cortadito trip and rewatched the Kardash episode that Hope and I realized that we went to the exact same cafe as Khole and Kim. And then we screamed and laughed non-stop. What are the odds? HA! CORTADITO!! (FYI it's Latin Cafe 2000 on Biscayne Blvd. Pictured above!) 

Friday

View from our hotel pool. I highly reccommend Hotel Victor! Not the typcial $700 a night Miami charge, still in the middle of everything, newly renovated. We had the best customer service experience there too! 

 In typical Elise fashion, I made a brochure for the weekend. It had a hilarious/embarrassing picture of Hope on the front, hotel info, a schedule of events, as well as walkable local spots in case anyone woke up early and wanted to grab this or that. Oh, and there was an enlarged version of our favorite Emoji on the back. If you know us, you know "her" too. :)

 Somehow we landed 2 free upgrades for 2/3 of our rooms. Holy amazing. Ocean views and all!

 Never have I ever met someone who appreciates the pink bubbly more than my sista.

 HEYYY BRIDE! We spent Friday night in with pizza, a lingerie shower, and Spyros (Hope's fiance) even made a pre-recorded appearance via the iPad for a game of 20 questions.

Sista, sista

 

Saturday

 On Saturday we did some filming on the beach... ;) ;) Mwahahaha. 

 Sistatime.

 Hopey got glammed up by her oh-so-talented bff, Jenna.

 All the girlies dolled up for Saturday night.

 Since Hope is marrying Spyros AND they're heading to Greece on their honeymoon, how could I not have chosen a Greek restaurant for the occasion?! Poseidon did not disappoint. They also had tip top customer service!! We were spoiled there!  

All in all, it was a fabulous trip. I can't wait to go back! Luckily it's a place we'll visit again soon since we have family there. Next time Mark and Spyros will have to join us!

Cheers to Miami!

Frankly, my dear...you should pop over here to visit my sweet sponsor, Jenni!
