5 Fun Pampering Treats for the Bride to Be

March 5, 2019

Ah, the thrill of being engaged!  Whether you are celebrating a long or short engagement, I’m always pleased to hear when our brides are embracing the pleasures of celebration: champagne, cake tastings, finding a dress, even more opportunities to spend time with friends and family and site visits aplenty!   I support splurging on little luxuries which put you in the bridal mindset, a silky nighty, an updated skincare regime, the prefect planning notebook — this is a special occasion and an opportunity to pamper yourself so don’t let it pass by!!

THE PERFECT PLANNING NOTEBOOK

My love for Smythson knows no bounds!!! I find them almost too pretty to write in (so grab a lovely pen, too!).  I would have one for each project: wedding planning, honeymoon, registry, you name it!  How sweet are the sparkly gold stars?  I also love this larger blue version which reads “something old, something new…”

GLOWING SKINCARE & LOTS OF HIGHLIGHT!

Here are some winning products for glowing bridal skin:

A POLAROID CAMERA!

This easy to use camera is one of the most fun and easy cameras we have ever played with.    Bring it to tastings, engagement parties, celebratory dinner with girlfriends, your after party and your honeymoon.  It’s highly flattering, makes everybody laugh, and is truly the most fun way to document the process.   Throw your polaroids from each event into a (you guessed it!) Smythson album when you’re finished and you have a fun little alternative collection of photos.   And, if you’re friends are dying to take theirs home, you can download an app on your phone to scan them in and keep them digitally forever.  You’re welcome!!! 🙂
