There are two kinds of spas; destination and day spas. A destination spa is one where guests come to from near and far, and are usually  there for an overnight. These destination spas are often located in scenic and beautiful surroundings, with natural features such as hot springs for therapeutic purposes or mountains for hiking or biking.  The beauty of the spa will be reflected by the geographic area that it is located in.  Guests can choose from packages that can include both beauty, exercise and yoga regimens.

For those who just don’t have the time or resources for a destination spa, a trip to your local day spa may be all you need to begin a new beauty regimen, as your approach your wedding date. Many trips to the day spa begin with a consultation as to the services you’d most benefit from.

Many of the services are beauty oriented; including hair colouring,  hair repair and styling, make-up consultants and application, waxing, manicures, pedicures and exfoliation, chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion,  laser treatments and hair removal, while others may benefit your inner self as well. These include various types of massage and aromatherapy, among other specialty services.

You may choose to visit the spa for one or more of their services, or for an entire day of treatments that include lunch or dinner. Many have special cuisine catered in or have their own kitchen to prepare meals. The day will be all about relaxation and pampering.

Day spas  do vary in price, services and equipment, so it is best to do your research. Ask your friends and family about their experiences and spend time calling each day spa and inquire about the services you require, versus the services they provide. Ask them about any new features that they may have recently introduced.

Discuss your wishes, explore the possibilities and avoid the stress of daily living and wedding planning by taking some time out for yourself.   Longer hair, smoother skin, a buffed body and a clearer mind ; this is your chance to improve on nature and to discover your potential while mitigating any stress that you may be holding.

Enjoy your treatments, enhance your natural beauty and find out what other brides know- being pampered and perfect during your engagement will certainly make you feel like a bride-to-be.

Boot camps are a rage too and like any other form of exercise, they require discipline and commitment to your goal. The group mentality will give you an opportunity to make new friends while working on your goals.

You may also want to treat yourself to a spa experience. Day spas provide a caring and private environment where you can surrender your stresses, while making your body look and feel great.

A therapeutic massage after a busy, tension- filled week will ease the kinks and you will come away feeling refreshed both physically and mentally with a clear head.

Spas offer many services including facials, waxing, hydrotherapy, herbal body treatments. manicures, pedicures and other yummy treatments.  Some have hair salon services.They offer special packages for you so you can spend a relaxing, stress-free hour or day and leave feeling beautiful, invigorated and recharged.

We suggest that you start schedule spa sessions early in your engagement, especially if you have weight loss or toning as a priority.  You may also want to work on your complexion or other trouble spots that need a little longer to correct.

As you incorporate a personal health and beauty regimen into your life, include you mother, or bridesmaids, and even your fiancé.  It is always more fun to exercise, diet, or visit a spa with a friend.

Arrange a spa session for all the gals in your wedding party! It’s a wonderful thank you to them for all that they are doing for you at this special time in your life and it’s also a fun way for you all to  get together, unwind and catch up on everyones’ news.

Wedding Planning Your Wedding Makeup

You have arranged for all your wedding services;  flowers, photography, invitations, your menu and a DJ, but don’t overlook the single detail that will make yours a visually stunning wedding;  your face! The makeup you wear every day is probably not the best choice for your wedding day. So before saying, ” I Do”, take time to find a good makeup artist to do the job for you.

Spas, beauty salons, a friend referral or a photographer can lead you to a competent and trustworthy professional. We urge you to do a trial run for your attendants and your moms  before the wedding day, to ensure that everyone loves the results. You’ll want a coordinated look so your photos are terrific. What you don’t want is for  anyone to  feel that they don’t “look too overdone”!  This dress rehearsal will ensure that everyone is comfortable and confident for the big day.

A professional is there for you when you are too nervous to keep that mascara wand steady and your excitement cannot be contained. It is not the time to do it self – after all it is your wedding day! Pamper yourself and leave the job to a professional!
