There are so many options to choose from when it comes to grabbing your Bride Tribe and flying off to a fun destination for a few days together. Our team just celebrated with one of our own in the sexy city of Chicago! Here, I was inspired to think outside of the box as I welcome you maid of honors, planning, to do too.

Hostels can have different meanings to different people who have traveled and stayed in them, or maybe some have just heard stories. No matter what you have heard, we are hear to share this special little gem, the Freehand with you. It is changing things up a bit in a really rad way! We all have somewhat of a gypsy heart here in the Austin, TX area, and our weddings tend to be natural and simply elegant. This modern-day hostel was all of these things!

Bunk bed setups took me back to my days at summer camp, in the sorority house, and some great sleep over fun! Here in your private all-girls suite you can bunk with your best buds and truly have a one-of-a-kind trip! The Freehand Chicago offered a coffee shop and bar right in the lobby level with a kitchen that served complimentary breakfast as well. The decor blew me away with its ability to make you feel warm and welcomed in a new place. It’s one of those places where you stay up late chatting with your girls until you fall asleep, and then wake up early to escape into the city. This downtown hostel offered tons to do within walking distance. We loved finding this amazing little taco pub called BROKEN ENGLISH and taking in a Cubbies game from the famous Bleacher seats. Wrigleyville in itself was an all day treat as well. This city offered beach fronts to the lake, walking routes from here to there, or a direct train ride if we didn’t want to walk anymore. Hands down Chicago was an incredible Bachelorette destination and we couldn’t recommend it more! Where have you been that you LOVED???
