Just Say Spa

When the going gets tough, the tough (in this case you, the frazzled bride-to-be) get going…straight to a day spa! Ambient music, blissful aromatic oils, and always-fantastic fruit platters – what better way to forget about table settings, menu plans, and where to seat your fussy Aunt Flo than in such an oasis of tranquility? You’ll be amazed at what just a couple of hours of Indian rain therapy and multiple-hand-massage can do to soothe that burgeoning Bridezilla in you. And when you factor in comments from celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Miranda Kerr, who say that pampering holds the key to looking good on camera, it’s pretty much a given that it’s also the secret to looking your absolute best come your wedding day.

For some serious pre-nuptial pampering, revive your mind, body and spirit at one of these top spa picks:
