If you are planning a wedding, you’ll know that as well as being very exciting, it can also be highly stressful.
You’ll be required to make decisions about napkins, fabrics you didn’t know existed, and whether sitting Aunty Beryl next to grumpy Uncle Tom would initiate World War III before the starter has even been served. During this time, it’s no wonder that your team of bridesmaids become even more invaluable to you.
As your closest friends, you trust them to take care of things. Whether it’s another conversation with the caterer, or arranging your hen party, not only do they take a weight off your shoulders they also provide a much needed source of support and sanity in the run up to your wedding so it’s no surprise that you want to say a huge big thank you to them for keeping you on track.
Here at the Devonshire Spa, there are a number of different spa packages which are very popular with brides and their bridesmaids. Not only do they allow you to thank your girls for all their hard work, they also provide a much needed opportunity to rest, recharge and relax – something that is sorely overlooked during wedding planning.
One bride – Rebecca Handford – treated her bridesmaids to our Twilight Spa package. After a busy day of last-minute wedding planning and just two days before the wedding, Rebecca and her three bridesmaids visited the Spa for some much needed sanctuary.
Says Rebecca, “Treating my bridesmaids to the Twilight Spa package was one of the best things I could have done. They had been fantastic during the run up to the wedding, especially as it was taking place at my husband-to-be’s parents’ farm, so not only did they have ‘normal’ wedding duties to do, there were also more unorthodox jobs such as jet washing the barn, painting fences and putting up tents! After putting them through that, I couldn’t not do something extra special for them.
“We arrived to the Spa in a bit of a flap as we’d got stuck behind a tractor on the way which slowed us down, but the girls there were amazing. They were so friendly, and explained all the different facilities to us so we knew exactly what they were for.
“The treatments we had were fantastic – I had the Elemis Musclease Aromaspa Ocean Wrap and was so relaxed afterwards. It was definitely just what I needed, and made sure that I was completely ready for the wedding.
“Once the treatments were over, we met back up in the Relaxation Room with a bottle of champagne which was a lovely way to finish the evening. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone getting married as it was the perfect way to unwind and de-stress before the big day.”
With a range of different options to suit any timescales or budgets, our spa packages make a great ‘thank you’ gift either before or after the wedding. And if timescales are short, you can always treat them to a spa voucher so they can enjoy a treatment of their choice at their leisure.
What’s more, The Salon also offers a first class wedding trial for you and your bridesmaids, which is another great way to relax with your team whilst the staff at the Devonshire Dome gets you ready for your special day. The Top to Toe Bridal Package offers a full consultation and a hair and make-up trial, so that when it comes to the day itself, you are looking and feeling your best.
