We know that your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. Self-care, spa treatments, and day-of beauty appointments are a huge part of making you feel amazing on your big day. We put together a list of the most important tips to help you and your bridal party have the utmost success and enjoyment in planning and executing your pre-wedding and day-of treatments at Penelope & The Beauty Bar.

• A trial for hair and makeup is an absolute must, and pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to communicating what look you’re going for with your service providers.

• Updo’s and blowouts are totally different services and looks - be very clear when booking bridal and bridal party hair appointments, so that we can provide you with the exact service you are looking for.

• Get your lash extensions done 3 weeks prior to your wedding day, and then get a fill a couple days before the big day. If you’ve never had extensions before, do a trial run 2 months before, to make sure that you’re comfortable with them.

• Don’t get anything waxed the day of the wedding. If you’ve never been waxed or sugared, start at least 3 months prior to your wedding, to give your skin time to adjust to the hair removal.

• Facial’s give your skin the ultimate bridal glow! Get a trial facial done a few months prior to the wedding to see how your skin will react. Schedule your wedding facial 1-2 weeks prior to your big day.

• Our Instant Lift non-surgical facelift is the perfect day-before or day-of treatment for brides and bridal party, to plump, firm, and leave skin luminous.

• Our French Slimming & Detoxifying body wrap flushes out toxins and contours the body. Get the most out of this service by scheduling regular treatments for at least 2 months leading up to your wedding.

• Our body polishes are the perfect way to exfoliate, hydrate, and moisturize your skin before your big day, or before your honeymoon. Make sure to get this service done before your spray tan, to a ensure beautiful, flawless tan application.

• Our Infrared Jade Pod is the ultimate way to de-stress, re-energize, boost your immune system, and burn calories leading up to your big day. This service is safe to do daily.

• The order of your spa services is crucial. Always get any facial treatments done after a massage, to ensure that you have no face wrinkles from lying face-down during the massage. Always book your nail appointments for after massages and facials.

• Refer to our Bridal Packages page on our website for more details about our bridal services, and information about bridal party events we offer.
