Every bride wants to look and feel like the most gorgeous version of herself on her wedding day. And in order to make that happen, we all know we have to grow our hair out, consume nutrient-rich foods for a leaner silhouette and a healthier glow, and schedule hair and makeup appointments well in advance. But apart from those simple beauty routines, it can be confusing to navigate all the beautifying options that exist for brides. So, if you want to ensure you look and feel your best on your wedding day, from head to toe, here are some of the most luxurious bridal treatments you can opt for before the big day:
Hair glossing treatment
A growing bridal trend all around America, glossing treatments have become essential for silky and shiny hair. It is a semi-permanent treatment that offers richness and vibrancy, without a long-term commitment, and it can be done in both a clear and a tinted variation, depending on whether you need a color boost as well. Glossing bridal treatments promote texture and add volume, calm frizziness and flyaways, and they can even eliminate brassy tones from blonde hair colors.
Waxing and threading
A wax appointment is one of the most important treatments you should book before your wedding, focusing mostly on the five key areas of your body: arms, underarms, legs, bikini line and eyebrows. If you haven’t already opted for a more permanent brow treatment, such as tinting or microblading, consider threading, which offers a professional finish and long-lasting results. To avoid re-growth and allow any possible irritation to subside, make sure to book these treatments at least a few days before the wedding.

With all eyes on you on your wedding day, it will never be more important to give your face some extra care and attention than before this big event. Australian brides are well aware of this fact, which is why they choose to get their facial treatments done in a luxurious beauty clinic in Sydney, where they can get custom facials tailored to their skin type and their specific concerns, ensuring they get real, visible results and picture perfect skin on their big day.
Fake tan
If you want to top up your glow, a fake tan will add a hint of healthy color to your complexion. Whether you decide to book a spray tan appointment or even apply a tanning cream at home, make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your entire body a day or two before, to ensure a smooth application. It’s best to apply a fake tan two days before the wedding to allow time to fade, so no unsightly marks appear on your white wedding dress, and it is also advisable to pat talcum powder onto the areas of your body that come into contact with the dress, to avoid any unwanted stains.

If we’ve learned anything from stunning Asian brides, it’s that a fully body massage that focuses on your tense areas is the ideal way to relax and unwind before your wedding day. A professional massage is the perfect reward for all of your hard work and wedding planning efforts, and it will ensure you are loose and relaxed on your big day.
Mani & pedi
The finishing touches that you should get done a day or two before the wedding, a manicure and pedicure are the last two details that will truly make you feel complete. If you don’t want to risk smudging or chips during your big day, gel nail polishes cured under a UV or LED lamp are always a great option. Classic brides looking for an elegant finish should consider neutral colors or even a French manicure and pedicure, while there are truly endless options for brides who want a pop of color or an interesting detail.
If you’re looking for a reason to get preened and pampered, your wedding day is the best excuse you’ll ever have. While there’s no denying that your natural beauty will shine through, the abovementioned beauty treatments will give you the extra confidence you may need, and make you feel truly special on your big day.
