Planning a wedding comes with a long list of choices, so it is lovely to see Nadia Jaftha tick off one of the fun ones. The Cape Town influencer and businesswoman has celebrated her bachelorette with a party called Bach and Bougee, and the name pretty much tells you what to expect. Bach is short for bachelorette. Bougie is slang for anything luxe and a little extravagant. Put the two together and you get a day of bubbly summer glamour.
Guests arrived in outfits suited to the occasion, while Nadia took centre stage in a long white dress and a veil embroidered with the words ‘Bride to be’.
Her bridal look brought a classic touch to a party where guests could have fun with their fashion choices.
It was a fitting celebration for Nadia, whose engagement caught many followers by surprise last December.
The social media personality has generally kept her relationship with Reece Meyer away from public scrutiny. So when she shared news of his proposal during their romantic Bali getaway, fans were delighted to get a glimpse of the couple’s next chapter.
Nadia wore a white two-piece outfit when Reece popped the question, and the moment brought her to tears. Her Instagram announcement came with a heartfelt caption: ‘Saying yes to my favourite chapter yet.’
Reece is the co-founder of Ace Labs and co-owns Smile Bar with Nadia, so the pair also share business interests alongside their relationship.
Wedding preparations, however, have given Nadia plenty to think about.
Last month, she opened up in a social media video about the pressure of planning a wedding for the first time. She admitted that she had barely considered the details of her big day until the decisions became impossible to put off.
Choosing a wedding dress, deciding on flower colours and settling on an overall aesthetic have left her feeling overwhelmed. Although the couple has people assisting with the arrangements, Nadia explained that the final choices still rest with her and Reece.
She also admitted that they may have left themselves too little time to plan everything.
Her bachelorette party offers a glimpse of a bride who can enjoy the celebrations while still working through the details of her wedding. With her white dress, bridal veil and a guest list dressed for the occasion, Nadia gave fans a taste of the festivities ahead.
And if ‘Bach and Bougee’ is anything to go by, her pre-wedding celebrations are off to a stylish start.
