Pippa (26) is set to jet out next Tuesday afternoon with an RTE TV crew in tow with the TV cameras accompanying her every step of the way.

The AR model has revealed to the Diary how her bridesmaids -- Niamh Martin and Avril Flynn, whom she has known since her schooldays -- are pulling out all the stops to ensure she has a send-off to remember by whisking her to the upmarket Spanish resort for an extended celebration.

Pippa (26) is set to jet out next Tuesday afternoon with an RTE TV crew in tow, who will capture the highlights for the couple's Newlyweds-style documentary programme, due to be aired after their star-studded wedding takes place at the Ritz Carlton on June 18.

Disappointingly for the Kildare model, a number of her close friends, including Rosanna Davison and Sara Kavanagh, will have to miss out on next week's festivities due to other commitments.

However, there will be no shortage of high-profile ladies to help Pippa toast her forthcoming nuptials, with a group of her former Assets colleagues, including Georgia Salpa, Nadia Forde and Michele McGrath, due to be holidaying in Marbella at the same time.

"I know a couple of the other models are there at the same time. It was actually just a coincidence but we'll definitely meet up with them," she explained.

"It's going to be mostly school friends. Unfortunately Sara Kavanagh can't go as she's on holidays at the same time and Rosanna has a couple of exams coming up.

"I've left it all up to Niamh and Avril, my bridesmaids, to organise so I'm not quite sure what's in store.

"I can't wait now. With all the organising of the wedding I had kind of forgotten about it but now that it's getting close I'm excited.

"It will be nice to have a bit of a break because all the planning has been a bit draining.

"The cameras will be coming with us. It's funny, I forget they're there half the time now, they're like my friends," she laughed.

And it looks like they won't be short of events to film, with Irish/Italian beauty Virginia Macari planning a star-studded party for the visiting Dublin beauties next week.

The sultry brunette and her other half Kaste Dahl have their own apartment in the millionaire's playground and are planning a bash at the popular Ocean club next Friday, May 27, to welcome high-profile guests to their home away from home.

Blushing bride Pippa, meanwhile, won't have long to wait until she is topping up her tan once more, given that she and her other half Brian have just booked a three-week honeymoon in the exotic destination of Bali.

Pippa was speaking yesterday at the launch of a new People of the Year award for 2011, the 'Best Friend of the Year' award.

The svelte beauty joined her good pal Rosanna Davison, as well as rugby pundits George Hook and Brent Pope for the 'picnic'-themed shoot.
