Bushnell's sister, Mollie Bushnell, and brother, Brett Bushnell, were among the guests in attendance. Partygoers shared photos from the fete on social media, including a picture of Higgins and Bushnell with the dessert table.
Higgins competed for Kaitlyn Bristowe's affections on "The Bachelorette" Season 11 before starring on Season 20 of "The Bachelor" earlier this year. He chose Bushnell over JoJo Fletcher and later explained his decision on the "Today" show.
"Early on in the whole process, Lauren had something that just really stood out to me," the star said. "I could not picture my life without this woman. That was never a doubt to me ... She belongs in my life forever."
"I want to marry Lauren quickly," he added. "But I would like to wait a while, get our family and friends involved, make sure it's something Lauren wants and that I want because we want this to be a celebration."Higgins and Bushnell will return to television on the new Freeform series "Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After." The reality show will premiere in October.
