![]() ![]() While you can Uber around, it makes it a lot easier to hire a driver to take you to certain destinations throughout the city - and honestly a lot more fun. That said, Google searching “NYC Photographers,” looking for an Airbnb Photographer Experience, or scouting on Instagram may be great resources to find your photog. Obviously, this will take a bit more work if you don’t have a built-in photographer. My mom (who also happens to be my best friend) is a professional photographer and was already going to be in NYC for all of the festivities…so that part was taken care of. I purchased custom labels from Lucy March Studio on Etsy with each gal’s name so they could find their dress on the clothing rack. (Just in case, I brought clothing clips should anyone’s garment be too big). To pull this off, I sent them a sizing chart and they let me know which size would fit them best. Make sure to account for transportation time when making the schedule! One thing to note as you plan out days and activities - pay attention to where things are located and what kind of transport is needed (subway, time to walk, Uber, etc.). The vibe for this trip: a bit of classic New York meets splashes of color.įigure out the key things you’d like to do, for me those were: a photoshoot, food tour, drinks at a swanky cocktail club, and seeing a show on Broadway (Moulin Rouge, in particular). ![]() While you don’t need an *aesthetic,* my philosophy is it’s so much more fun to get dressed up, and when else would you? As a branding photographer, styling events is my jam and I don’t think any of my girlfriends were surprised when I sent them a mood board of what I was thinking! I’ll be the first to tell you that I am a planner and I love to style things. Also, take note if anyone has any food allergies! This is a great time to ask each of your friends their size and any color preferences if you’re putting together gifts. Most NYC hotels are notorious for being small. I’ll chat more about our hotel down below but definitely take into consideration how many people are in your group and how much space you’ll need. Book the Big Stuffįrom there, book the hotel, flights, and activities (tours, Broadway tickets, etc). The best times for NYC are typically in the spring (April-May) and fall (September-November). From that, we decided on the last weekend of April - and the weather was pretty good (aside from some serious wind and cold gusts, it was all sunshine - but I think we got a little lucky with no rain!) I took a poll across three weekend dates to see which one would work the best for my girlfriends and had them rate in preference order. Things add up quickly and you don’t want to have any violation of expectations or hard feelings. Talk to your girlfriends and make sure everyone has an idea of what to expect in terms of what activities you’re looking at booking, along with pricing. My friends and I started talking about this trip about 6 months in advance this gave us time to figure out a date that would work for everyone in the group and set a budget. ![]() The main things: when is everyone available and what budget are we working with?
