Bridal Spa Parties By Dianna Lucas

A Night In A progressive way of celebrating your upcoming wedding is to share a “girl’s night in.” Include a belly dancing lesson or a Nia workshop, so that your presence on the dance floor will be fluid and exotic. Dress-Up Parties Start a night out with an after-hours dress-up party at Women’s Closet Exchange of St. Louis. Owner, Sue McCarthy, says “We supply the food, drinks and the private designer shopping experience; you supply the guests!” Get ready for your “Cirque du Soleil” style party at Flex with Fit Strip Cardio and bubbles to forget your bridal blush and get comfortable in your body.

The Party Begins with YOU! Can you think of a better way to thank your wedding party than to give them gifts of relaxation? Gift certificates never go out of style, especially when they are from places of supreme pampering. The perfect way to decompress for one of the most important moments of your life is with this brand new kind of party. Plan a weekend getaway with your favorite ladies. Hotel suites, bed and breakfasts, and retreat centers will play host, so that you and your party are simply able to relax and sink into the experience. Call ahead to request spa-style meals designed specifically to meet your dietary needs and requirements.

Be Creative! Create your own spa day party and treat your group to morning smoothies. You will find delicious recipes inside this issue. Cultivate your inner glow with an energizing class; Pilates, yoga, or “Gyrokinesis” are perfect for groups of any fitness level.

Include a Good Meal After a relaxing, rejuvenating lunch at your favorite restaurant such as Roxane on Meramec in Clayton, or a meal delivered to your spa location, you will be ready to continue the fun with mani- pedi’s complete with bubbling champagne and fresh strawberries. Consider spray tanning, body scrubs and luxurious wraps, or a mixand-match of amenities, you will leave radiating wellbeing from the inside out. Plan in Advance If you plan well enough in advance of the wedding day, you can create a complete wellness program for yourself and your whole party. Try to create a regimen that includes everyone. Taking group fitness classes together combined with a detoxifying food plan will keep you on task and often delivers the best results. Everyone will feel fabulous and when the big day arrives all of you will have the look of radiance for gorgeous photos.
