If there’s one thing about a bachelorette weekend, it’s that it should feel like you… and this one was exactly that.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian Rockies, this celebration was equal parts cozy, elevated, and wildly fun. From lakeside pilates to late-night dancing in a cabin, here’s everything that went into Jillian Harris’s unforgettable “Camp Jilly” weekend.
Jillian’s bach weekend took place at the stunning Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge at the end of May 2025 and it was nothing short of a dream!
Planned as a surprise by her cousins and co-Maids of Honour, Tori and Sam, Jillian was literally along for the ride. Blindfolded and driven to Jasper, she had no idea where the weekend would take her… until arriving in one of Canada’s most iconic mountain destinations, surrounded by 15 of her closest friends.
The group stayed together in one large cabin, creating the ultimate “all-in” experience: cozy, connected, and filled with nonstop laughter.
We asked Jillian to take us inside her bachelorette weekend,
here’s what she shared
WHAT WAS THE THEME OR VIBE OF THE WEEKEND?
We didn’t have an exact theme, but it was along the lines of Camp Jilly, Last Hoedown, general outdoorsy western theme. The girls described it as “rustic glam: Ralph Lauren meets Yellowstone”
We were mainly outdoors having fun, mixed with cold plunging and sauna. We all stayed in one big cabin together. I love all things country music, western, cowboy boots, you name it. This theme couldn’t have been more perfect!
The Inspiration + Planning
The destination and overall feel were deeply personal, inspired by Jillian’s Northern Alberta roots. Spending a weekend in Alberta, surrounded by nature and her best friends, was exactly what she needed heading into her next chapter. Tori and Sam planned the entire experience just a couple of months in advance and thanks to the team at the Fairmont, bringing the vision to life was seamless.
From coordinating the itinerary to curating special moments throughout the weekend, everything felt thoughtful, elevated, and effortlessly executed.
WHAT WAS THE FAVOURITE ACTIVITY OR MOMENT OF THE WEEKEND?
It’s so hard to choose just one, the entire weekend was such a blast. I loved waking up on the second morning, doing pilates by the lake, followed by a cold plunge and sauna. It was the perfect way to start the day and you seriously cannot beat those views of The Rockies!!
The Itinerary: A Perfect Balance of Fun + Reset
Every moment of the weekend struck that perfect balance between high-energy celebration and intentional downtime.
NIGHT ONE
Guests arrived at the cabin and settled in for a cozy first night together. The evening unfolded with dinner, drinks, dancing, and even live music.
Dinner was a relaxed grazing board moment, aka “girl dinner” setting the tone for the weekend ahead.
DAY TWO
The morning started slow with a DIY breakfast provided by The Fairmont, followed by canoeing on the lake - arguably one of the most scenic ways to take in the mountain views. The afternoon was all about unwinding, with spa treatments and lunch back at the cabin. That evening, the group gathered for a stunning chef-attended long-table dinner inside the cabin - an intimate, elevated highlight of the weekend.
Naturally, the night didn’t end there… it rolled into a hot tub and pool party.
DAY THREE
This day was all about that signature “wellness meets fun” energy. After a relaxed breakfast at the the on-site Fairmont JPL restaurant, the group headed lakeside for pilates and yoga, followed by a cold plunge and barrel sauna. The afternoon brought one of the most memorable surprises: Jilly Jeopardy. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, it had everyone laughing the entire time.
The day wrapped with dinner at the on-site restaurant and drinks around the outdoor fire back at the cabin.
DAY FOUR
A slow, easy checkout and goodbyes.
Leaving with full hearts and unforgettable memories!
Style Moments
While there wasn’t a strict dress code, the group leaned into a soft western theme throughout the weekend. Matching moments included cozy sets from Mad About Style and custom crewnecks from Brunette the Label… effortless, cute, and perfect for cabin lounging!
Jillian fully embraced her signature style with cowboy boots all weekend long, paired with a standout denim jacket gifted by her mother-in-law an extra special (and stylish) touch.
Standout Moments
While every part of the weekend was memorable, Jilly Jeopardy easily stole the show. The bride-to-be shared the game her girls had put together, “was absolutely hilarious and had us all cracking up!”
Thoughtful, funny, and completely personalized, it was the kind of detail that made the weekend feel even more meaningful. And of course, those quiet in-between moments… morning coffee, lake views, late-night chats together were just as special!

JILLIAN’S RECOMMENDATIONS
Our weekend stay in a cabin at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge was one for the books. They’re launching a new custom bachelorette package, which I would HIGHLY recommend. They gave us the dreamiest setting for the most special bachelorette weekend. Cozy, FUN, and full of that Alberta charm. The cabin was the best mix of rustic charm, cozy comfort, and good times. It had a crackling fireplace, plush beds, and plenty of space to laugh, lounge, eat together, and celebrate and relax.
Special shoutout to The Jilly Box for curated gift bags that added such a thoughtful touch to the weekend.
JILLIAN’S ADVICE TO BRIDES
Just have fun and let your bridesmaids take over! I’m usually such a planner, but I let the girls plan the entire thing and it was so amazing and perfect. Better than what I could have imagined.
