Get Wedding-Ready with Beautiology: Our Ultimate Guide to Bridal Beauty and Skincare
If you’re a bride-to-be, we know you’ve got a lot on your agenda. From venue scouting, to cake tasting, dress fittings, and everything in between, getting to the altar requires a lot of preparation and planning.
So while you’re busy focusing on all the important details, Beautiology is here to help you take care of you! Over the years, we’ve been honored to work with so many amazing brides and know just what to do to get you glowing for the big day.
Whether you’re newly engaged or counting down the final days before saying “I Do,” we offer a range of treatments and can create a step-by-step plan for every occasion. To get you started, here are a few of our favorite services for brides:
Skin Assessment
Prioritizing skin health is essential for making sure your makeup stays put and looks flawless in photos. So with this in mind, we recommend committing to regular facials and supportive at-home products, as soon as possible. At your initial consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with one of our expert beauty therapists and put together a customized skincare routine based on your skin concerns, skin type, and individual goals.
Peel Series
For targeting acne, dry skin, oily skin, dark spots, uneven texture, dullness, signs of aging, and other common concerns, our designer peels are the gold standard. At Beautiology we offer peels in a series of six treatments, using professional-grade enzymes and chemical exfoliation to progressively condition your skin and get gorgeous results.
Light Therapy
The go-to for luminous, glowing skin is LED light therapy. When added to any facial service, light therapy works to prevent acne breakouts, reduce inflammation, promote healing, and encourage the production of new collagen. It’s completely non-invasive and a great way to give your skin an instant boost.
Microneedling
If you’re looking to uplevel your skincare before walking down the aisle, microneedling is an advanced modality that stimulates collagen and skin rejuvenation at the cellular level. It’s an excellent option for addressing chronic concerns like acne scars, texture, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Lash Lifting and Tinting
Enjoying long, perfectly curled, and defined lashes is a breeze with lash lifting and tinting. Our lash services work with your natural lashes and results can last up to six weeks, making them a great alternative to lash extensions or false lashes.
Body Treatments
In addition to facial care, don’t forget to show the rest of your skin some love! At Beautiology we offer specialized services for smoothing and brightening your whole body. A few popular options for our brides include vajacials, back treatments, butt lifting, underarm brightening, and waxing.
Makeup Trials
Your wedding day should be all about showcasing your personal style, and we understand how important it is for your makeup to tie your whole ensemble together. Prior to the main event, we suggest booking a trial run, which will allow your makeup artist to design your picture-perfect wedding look and make any needed adjustments to the final protocol.
Spray Tans
Before you go backless, strapless, or both, investing in a spray tan is a quick and easy way to look effortlessly sunkissed without the risk of UV exposure. At Beautiology our beauty therapists can customize a blushtan® solution for every skin tone and results last up to a full week. We also recommend at least one trial spray tan prior to your wedding day, to ensure color matching and avoid any adverse reactions the day of.
Facial Waxing
If you regularly wax your brows, upper lip, chin, or neck, and want to stay smooth for your wedding, we’ve got you covered. We work with professional-grade waxes that won’t irritate sensitive skin, and offer a full menu of facial waxing services.

Other Tips For Wedding Day Success
Tip #1: Schedule all of your appointments in advance
As soon as you've decided on your wedding date, it's a good idea to start booking all of your essential beauty appointments. That way you're sure to secure a spot and save yourself last-minute stress. And don't forget to factor in other important events, such as your bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner so that all of your bases are covered.

Tip #3: Commit to consistency with your daily skincare and self-care
Last but not least, our biggest tip for achieving beautiful skin on your wedding day is to make skincare a part of your everyday routine. Although professional treatments like chemical peels, micro-needling, and light therapy can do a lot to enhance your natural beauty, real results come from consistency at home.
In the months leading up to your wedding, we recommend scheduling a little time every morning and night to apply your skincare products. Doing so is a perfect excuse to indulge in self-care, so don't be afraid to make this time about you with a relaxing daily ritual.
At your first appointment at Beautiology, one of our Beauty Therapists can help you select everything you'll need. A few wedding prep must-haves we recommend for all skin types from our trusted Beautiology Skincare Collection; include a gentle cleanser, exfoliating toner, vitamin C serum, hyaluronic acid serum, eye cream, moisturizer, and SPF.
