There’s a lot to love about The Afterwhite bride, but one of our favorite things about her is her unwavering authenticity. She doesn’t do or wear things just because they’re branded as ‘cool’ by the masses. Comfortable going against the societal grain and dancing to the beat of her own drum, she’s a breath of fresh air and an unintentional trendsetter.

So, where does an Afterwhite bride go for her bachelorette party? She skips the cliche destinations (looking at you, Vegas & Nashville), bedazzled pajamas, and ‘bride tribe’ lingo in favor of a bachelorette party that feels true to her. Whether she’s an outdoorsy girl, a total foodie, or the life of the party, she aligns her bachelorette party to her vibe and vision.

We’ve rounded up a handful of bachelorette destinations that are a little less cliche – and a lot more fun.

Non-Cliche Bachelorette Destinations by Vibe:

Beach Bachelorette

Our pick: Nassau, Bahamas

In a few words: Tropical, laidback, and Instagram-worthy with crystal clear waves and quaint pastel-colored buildings dotting the island. Perfect for diving, snorkeling, and beach-going.

What to wear: The Tropez Tie-Up One-Piece for the beach and pool, the Ame Ivory Maxi Dress for dinner and drinks, & the Aeryn Silk Chiffon Duster for everything in between.
