Pre-Wedding Spa Day for LDS Brides: Relax, Refresh & Glow

You’ve been planning for months. The dress, the timeline, the temple recommends. And now your big day is just around the corner.
But before you dive into the final wedding details, I want to remind you of one important item on your to-do list:
You
Every bride deserves a moment to breathe, reflect, and feel beautiful—not just look beautiful—before she walks into her sealing or down the aisle. That’s where your personal pre-wedding spa day comes in.
It doesn’t need to be expensive or over-the-top. A few peaceful hours set aside for self-care can help you show up radiant, rested, and emotionally ready for one of the most sacred days of your life.
Here are a few spa-day ideas for LDS brides (and some bonus tips if you’re planning it with your mom or bridesmaids!):
LDS Bride Spa Day Ideas
Soak & Soothe
A warm bubble bath, maybe with essential oils or calming music, is one of the simplest ways to unwind. Light a candle. Say a prayer. Breathe deep.- At-Home Mani/Pedi
Whether you're doing your own nails or having someone help, soft colors and clean hands always feel lovely. Tip: Choose a polish that complements your temple clothes or gown. - Face Mask or Facial Steam
Glowy skin is never a bad idea. Choose a gentle hydrating mask the night before your wedding (no new products—you don’t want a surprise breakout). - Fresh Hair Treatment
Whether it’s a trim, deep conditioning, or just a relaxing shampoo and blowout, healthy hair = confident bride. Schedule it a few days before, so there’s no last-minute rush. - Massage or Stretch Session
Even 20 minutes can help you release some of the built-up stress. It’s amazing how our emotions show up in our shoulders, jaw, and back.
A Moment to Reflect
Take a few minutes alone with your journal or in quiet prayer. This day is about your love, your covenants, and the eternity ahead.
Let yourself feel it. Soak it in. You’re ready.
Whether your spa moment is a bubble bath and a clay mask, or a day out with your best girls, don’t skip this sacred pause before the big day.
You’ve earned it, beautiful bride.
