There is so much time, effort and stress that go into the planning of your Wedding day. When that big day arrives, it is essential to feel relaxed and to have fun! You also want to know you are looking your very best on this joyous occasion.

A great way to relax and have a fun, healthy, beatifying experience before the
big day is to get the bridal party together for a spa day. Hang out and relax with some food and drink while waiting to go in for a stress relieving therapeutic massage or facial. Not only is a facial super relaxing it also prepares your skin for a great makeup application, ensuring fabulous photographs. Manicures, and Pedicures are another fantastic way to relax and talk about pre Wedding day stuff. A spa day is also a great idea for a baccalaureate party or for the bridesmaids gifts!

As well, booking a pre wedding makeup application trial is the best way to know
you will be completely happy with the look you have chosen for your day. An all
mineral makeup line is a skin care regime in itself, so this seals the deal for glowing, flawless skin!
