Held at ONE10 in Melville, May 18th was a day of beauty, laughter, glam and giving back. We co-hosted alongside Bravolebrities Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Aydin, who brought their signature energy and style. DJ Ivan from Drive Up DJs kept the beat flowing, while Pete the Greek and electric violinist Keri Latten elevated the vibe with live performances. Guests indulged in luxury beauty deals, made their own lip gloss, received personalized tarot card readings, and posed for glam headshots with Iconogram. Top sponsor Recco Jewels brought serious sparkle with a signature display that had everyone shopping. TC Collective Design delivered a garden-glam “Ring for Champagne” moment, while Fran’s Fotos & Florals created the iconic pink-and-green photo op seen all over your feed. VIPs were spoiled with next-level swag including: • 20 units of Botox from Boost Your Beauty Medispa • A free lip flip from LIBB by Maritza • A BBL Heroic treatment from Sharon Grasso of Permanent Touch Cosmetic • Complimentary Revision Skincare • A free injectable from Jozelle at Revivaluxe • Chic pearl travel bags from Dr. Sonia at Pearl Dental Studio Best of all, we raised over $17,000 for the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund—a cause close to our hearts. Scan the QR code to view the entire album and follow our sponsors. Big news—Bougie Brunch is moving to fall.
