The dream bachelorette

To kick off her wedding celebrations, she enjoyed a girls' trip at the exclusive Amangiri resort in the Utah desert. Each night featured a unique theme for both dress and décor, all meticulously documented by a hired videographer.

The initial evening of her "dream bachelorette" was themed "Pretty in Pink," highlighted by a charming poolside dinner. The subsequent night embraced the theme of "Aliens Among Us'', adorned with green décor and quirky wigs.

The third night transitioned into "Golden Hour."

However, the grand finale was the Marie Antoinette-themed fourth night, featuring cinched waists, petticoats, powdered wigs, and a spooky touch with skull décor.

Evening in Paris

Arriving in Paris five days prior to the main event, Brockway and her group gathered at the Chanel Haute Couture Salon on Rue Cambon. This was followed by a luxurious stay at Versailles, complete with bottles of Dom Pérignon on ice and a glam squad.

The evening concluded with a catered, candlelight dinner, according to New York post.

Content from the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and the main function was shared by her loved ones before Brockway herself got a chance to share anything on social media platforms, which eventually made her gain a lot of attention online.
