Bridal skin and stress relief done right

The weeks before a wedding are equal parts exciting and exhausting. Our pre-wedding spa timeline blends facials, massage, waxing, and body polishing so you walk down the aisle with calm skin, relaxed shoulders, and a genuine glow — not last-minute stress.

Most brides start four to eight weeks out with a facial series, then schedule a HydraFacial or Dermaplane one week before for smooth makeup application. Waxing is ideally done five to seven days before the wedding to allow any redness to settle. A Swedish massage the day before is the best pre-ceremony reset.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book pre-wedding spa treatments?

Start facials four to eight weeks out, get waxing five to seven days before, book HydraFacial or Dermaplane one week before, and schedule a relaxation massage one or two days before the wedding.

Which facial is best before a wedding?

HydraFacial and Dermaplane are the most popular because they leave skin smooth, hydrated, and ready for makeup. European Deep Pore is great for monthly maintenance.

Yes — book individual appointments online for up to four guests, or submit a spa party request for groups of five to ten and we will build a private itinerary.
