In the bustling Washington DC area, there are 101 things going on at any given time, making it the perfect location to host your bestie’s bachelorette party or bridal shower! Locals and out-of-towners alike can find the perfect mix of activities and locales to suit the mood of any group.  If you’re not looking for the traditional bar crawl bachelorette in the District, we’ve got some suggestions for making the most of your festivities just minutes outside the city here in Old Town Alexandria.

Did you know that you can host a private event with us right here at Lotus Blooms? Our beautiful boutique is stylish, elegant, and full of top-quality items luxuriously displayed. We’re perfect for groups of up to about 30 who are looking for a bridal celebration that’s both sex-positive and classy. But maybe you need a little more– you want to make a whole weekend of it, or maybe you need to entertain family and friends separately. You’ve still come to the right place!

Old Town Alexandria is perfect for the easy-going bride and her tribe who want a weekend to (actually) remember in a quaint and lovely neighborhood. Recently named #1 in the “Best Places to Go in 2018” by Money Magazine, Alexandria is known for its charming cobblestone streets (pro tip: maybe leave the heels at home and opt for flats!) just minutes away from the nation’s capital and from the waterfront.  Lotus Blooms is nestled among dozens of other women-owned and -operated boutique shops, cafes and bistros, galleries, and salons that line King Street. It’s an area made for strolling and browsing, for taking your time and treating yourself.

As you spend your wedding-bonding weekend popping in and out of boutiques, perusing the farmer’s markets, and brunching on delicious southern-inspired fried chicken and mimosas at Hen Quarter, consider a couple of choices to add to your itinerary.

Are you a DIY crew that lives to craft and create?  Register your friends for one of a wide range of artistic projects like wooden photo frames or personalized serving trays when you start your afternoon painting and sipping at a DIY Happy Hour!  At AR Workshop, they provide all materials and instruction, you customize your project, and then leave with your ready-to-display masterpiece and a wonderful keepsake of the bachelorette weekend.

Or does your group prefer to learn a new hairstyle or makeup technique – either of which might come in handy on the big day? Check out the events calendar from Salon DeZen and get the lowdown on the art of ponytails or how to master contouring & highlighting, or just book some services and enjoy DeZen’s eco-friendly commitment to transformation and self-expression.  

Now let’s get down to the real question at hand: Do you have an adventurous group who’s game to learn some helpful bedroom tricks?  That’s where we come in! Our private parties are customized to your group, and are the perfect way to get into the “last fling before the ring” spirit.  If you’re staying at a hotel (or spacious AirBnB) and you’d rather have a night of comfy pajamas and goblets of wine, our sex educators can travel to you. We’ll come equipped with a bag full demo vibrators, body-safe lube samples, and a private workshop to show your bridal party sensual massage, oral sex techniques, the art of female orgasm, or intro to kink play.  

Or would you rather get dressed up and hit the town? Plan your party at Lotus Blooms after hours, and enjoy a private shopping experience in addition to a workshop of your choice.  Schedule your event with us and feel free to BYOB along with snacks and treats to keep the fun going all evening. Workshop topics at our parties can be personalized so that you and your friends get exactly what you’re looking for, plus we’ll offer exclusive discounts for one night only.  Expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere with lots of laughs, opportunities to ask questions, and plenty of lessons to take home to the bedroom and honeymoon.

Imagine all of you getting fitted for corsets together or helping your bride pick out wedding night lingerie to model. Make gifts easy by going in together on a gift card she can spend that night on the things she loves the most. Get hands-on with testers of our lubes, massage oils, honey dust, and other sensual treats.

What are you waiting for? We’ve already planned your weekend- now you just have to make the reservations!  Email our events coordinator to get your event on the calendar today. We can’t wait to help you plan a party that you’ll all be talking about for years afterward.

Intrigued? Our private events aren’t limited to bridal showers and bachelorette parties! You can have your birthday party, rekindle-the-spark anniversary event, or “back in the dating pool” launch with us too. Are you part of a group or organization seeking a sex-positive space for a mixer with a little structure? We can help!
