Brides: What a Day Spa Can Do for You

Is your wedding fast approaching? Congratulations — it's an exciting time, and with all the plans you're juggling, your own wellness and beauty deserve a place on the list. A local day spa can do more for a bride than you might expect. Here's how.

Celebrate With a Private Party

Did you know many spas and salons host private parties? It's a fun, relaxing, and memorable way to celebrate — whether as a bridal shower or a bachelorette gathering. Along with access to a range of services, many spas provide complimentary snacks and drinks to make the occasion special.

Wedding-Day Hair and Makeup

Hair and makeup are where a spa salon really shines. Many brides have their wedding-day hair styled at a local salon, along with their bridal party's. Book a consultation a week or two ahead so you can preview styles and learn about the other services available. Makeup is just as important — if application isn't your strength, ask about professional makeup, a common and popular service. It's also a good time to ask about hair removal.

Spa Treatments to Look and Feel Your Best

Several spa services are especially worthwhile before a wedding:

• Herbal body wraps promote relaxation and healthy skin, and can help reduce excess fluid — many brides schedule one a day or two before the wedding.
• Massages are a wonderful way to release the stress, excitement, and frustration that wedding planning brings. Add scented towels or hot stones for an even deeper sense of calm.
• Hand treatments are easy to overlook, but you'll be showing off that ring all day. A treatment with rich lotions and oils under a heated mitt softens dry skin so your hands look their best.

Plan Ahead

There are so many ways a spa can support you — both before the big day and as a way to recover afterward. Make a few calls early to learn your bridal and bridal-party options, and book in advance to secure your dates.
