We're in the final stretch of Weddings Week 2014, in which we've covered everything from the most dreamiest dresses to photo-happy places to nuptials-ready spaces. As we know, there are activities aplenty when it comes to celebrating your soon-to-be-wed pal's last official days of singledom—so for this week's Perfect Saturday guide, we've crafted a very special bachelorette day edition focused on Melrose in West Hollywood.

As with many of our other afternoon shopping itineraries, this celeb-faved retail stretch boasts more than enough designer boutiques for blowing beaucoup bucks in one day. In the spirit of everlasting romance, we've picked a handful of bridal party-worthy stops to spend a girly day out before the wedding. (It's 2014, so boys are certainly allowed if they're into that.) After the jump, find out where to enjoy a garden party-inspired lunch, where to pick up lacy and racy underpinnings, where to get supremely pampered, where to explore Melrose Place's newest MKA mecca and more.
