Missouri Wedding Beauty Spas

Decompress during all your Missouri wedding planning with a trip to the spa

What bride couldn't use a break in the mist of all that hectic planning? Read the Missouri Wedding Beauty Spas Guide for ideas and resources to help you stay calm and beautiful before your ceremony.

It is a simple truth. A relaxed bride is a beautiful bride. A trip to a spa, whether for a few days or a few hours, will allow the tension to melt away and your inner beauty to shine through. With all the spa choices available today, you are sure to find something to fit both your budget and your needs.

Day spas are one choice. Consider pampering yourself in the weeks before the wedding with a facial, some tanning sessions to bring out a sun kissed glow, or a massage to ease those pre-wedding jitters. Many day spas offer hair salons as part of their services as well. This would be a great place to try out your special wedding day hair style. Bring your veil and let your imagination run. A few highlights, a subtle color change or an updo might make you feel like a runway model. Be careful of radical style or color changes a few weeks before the wedding, but adding some golden or red tones to your tresses might be just the thing. Your hands will figure predominately in any ring photographs, so consider a manicure a day or two before the wedding. Facials and beauty treatments can even out skin tone, restore tired eyes, and ease achy feet. If your spa offers a licensed makeup artist, consider trying out some different looks for the wedding day. Again, nothing radical or outlandish is recommenced here. Especially for a bride who doesn't wear makeup or who is not practiced in the art, a professional can bring out your eyes and cheekbones while maintaining your subtle grace.

Destination spas are another choice. These types of spas offer everything from yoga and mineral soaks to special meals and horseback riding. Here might be a great opportunity to take a mini vacation amidst all the wedding planning and associated stress. You and your mom could get away for a few days, soak in the pools, get full body massages and sip mineral waters on the balcony. What an amazing chance to slow down and reconnect before you launch into the next stage of your life. The bride and her attendants might also find this a happy option. You could plan a girls' long weekend, filled with laughter, giggling and fun before the big day.

Look for spas in travel magazines, on the web and with a travel agent. Ask friends for references or check with your wedding planner. Make sure your chosen spa has a reputation for cleanliness and service. A quick check with the Better Business Bureau will give you all the information you need. Be mindful of when you plan your spa trip. Two days before the wedding might not be the ideal time to disappear for three days. With so many details to confirm and vendors needing your final approval, you may end up stressing yourself even further.

If all the details of planning a wedding are getting to you, finding a way to relax and rejuvenate is a must. Think of spending some time at the spa as a way to honor yourself. Planning a wedding is a big job and taking some time to replenish yourself should never be considered a luxury.
