6 Months Until The Big Day

Home Care:

If someone was thoughtful enough to give you one of those bridal box subscriptions, you already have a headstart on your beauty plan. The miss to mrs bridal box, for example provides a lot of skin and self care items that you can use on a daily basis to supplement your professional services.

Drink lots of water, slowly begin exercising, and moderately apply your diet. Crash workouts and diets rarely work, and more often than not will set you back instead of ahead. Build some momentum by starting with what you can manage and slowly improve over time.

Massage: 

A lot of your appearance has to do with how you feel. Achieve ultimate levels of relaxation by scheduling monthly Swedish style bridal massage sessions. This wedding spa treatment focuses on reducing stress so that you can keep your cool while you plan your wedding.

Hair Prep:

You can’t put 100% of your hair expectations on your stylist. A little preparation is required to look your best. Speak with professionals about the specific spa treatments that apply to your dyes and bleaches so that they can assemble the perfect combination of deep infusions and hydrations that your hair needs to look its healthiest. 

3 Months Until The Big Day

Mani-Pedi:

For obvious reasons (sparkle sparkle!) your wedding guests will be checking out your hand. Speak with bridal spas professionals to customize a treatment schedule. Your mani/pedi history and the current condition of your hands and feet will determine how much work there is to do. Just like anything else, you have to chip away at the project to avoid damage and produce longer lasting results.

Hands and Feet Part 2: 

To propel the condition of your hands and feet, talk to your provider about bridal spa packages that include chemical or paraffin treatments. The right combination will make your hands and feet baby-soft and reduce swelling and pain around the joints. 

Steam Bath:

Weekly saunas serve two purposes. They complement your massages and double your relaxation. They also allow you to sweat out that pesky water weight and fit your wedding gown the way you’re meant to.

1 Month Until The Big Day

Eye Masks:

Poor diet, lack of sleep, and stress all contribute to puffiness around the eyes. Combate this with wedding spa packages that include eye care. You can repeat this process several times leading up to the big day. The main reason for starting early is because the skin around the eyes is sensitive and may experience negative effects. It’s better to find out early.

Microdermabrasion:

Scraping away the dead skin that accumulates on your face will result in a more youthful look. It’s important to shop around for this service. There are many different types of machines, and the abilities of skin technicians can differ greatly. Find reputable wedding spas that you can rely on.

The Week Of The BIg Day

Full Body Scrub:

This is the same idea as your facial microdermabrasion. This removes the rough dead skin from your entire body and lays the foundation for the perfect tan. 

Waxing:

Hair sculpting and removal is part of many bride’s regiments. There’s usually a little bit of redness that goes along with waxing and shaving. Doing this a few days before your wedding will allow skin to heal without having to bust out the razor the day of or on your honeymoon.

Body Wrap:

With all the exercise, dieting, hydration, and spa treatments, you may have lost a little weight. Opt for wedding beauty services that include a body wrap to address any loose skin or cellulite that needs smoothing out. This temporary service will tighten things up for a few days.
