Lulus Besties That Brunch Chicago

June 7, 2024

Lulus Besties That Brunch Chicago

Kicking off the summer with Lulus Besties That Brunch! LuLus.com, a popular online fashion store, recently announced its “Friends for Life” out-of-home campaign in four major cities. The campaign celebrates women’s friendships and focuses on women supporting other women through the milestones in their lives. As someone who has bought many dresses from Lulus for past sorority and blogger events, I was excited to attend the Besties That Brunch out-of-home event held at Venteux Cafe & Oyster Bar inside Pendry Chicago, a boutique hotel downtown. It is sure to be the first of many Chicago events I attend this summer season.

Sips & Bites

Despite the event name, there was no sit-down brunch meal. Instead, waiters scarcely passed out light bites on small trays holding only 6-8 pieces at a time. We were so hungry and kept missing out when the bites were quickly snagged! Finally, we tried two: melted gruyere cheese and quail egg on mini toast, and egg salad with caviar on a potato chip. Both were delicious! There was also an included bar serving mimosas and different pre-decided cocktails.

The Swag

Lulus is known for their fashionable clothing and accessories. Attendees of Besties That Brunch Chicago were offered gift bags containing sunglasses and one of three different clutch bags: gold, white, and mauve pink. I chose the gold! Each clutch was embellished with beads or rhinestones.

Snap a Pic

Dresses from Lulus and a photo backdrop were set up in a room off of the cafe. The outfits were styled with accessories and shoes, and a professional photographer took both digital and Polaroid pictures with fun bestie props. Pictured above is our Polaroid! I loved that we got to take it home as a souvenir.

Flowers From Semillas Chicago

My favorite part about the event was the flower bouquet station in the cafe. Semillas, a plant studio located in the Chicago Pilson neighborhood, provided a wonderful variety of flowers arranged in small bouquets for event guests. I loved how mine turned out!

Lulus Besties That Brunch Chicago was a fun, fresh way to kick off summer events. It was well organized and had just enough things to do to keep you stimulated and engaged. Before leaving we got our flower bouquets, complimentary cafe coffee, and more pics. I’d love to see Lulus do more events in Chicago in the future!
