We think all ladies deserve some pampering, but stressed out brides (and grooms!) really need it. We think Hela Spa, a fabulous medical spa, is the perfect retreat from all of the planning. A variety of services can be found at this Georegtown spot, including laser treatments and massages (and soon eyelash extensions), but their facials are an absolute treat!
Luckily for one District Weddings reader, a facial is in the works. Leave a comment here for a chance to win a microdermabrasian facial to enhance your natural beauty for the big day!
P.S. How much do you love their wedding skincare timeline? The perfect steps to make sure you look radiant!
Despite the gloomy weather outside, warmer weather will be here before we know it! That means it’s time to start thinking about spring and summer weddings, and more importantly, how to look great when the temperatures reach triple digits. Michael Andrews Bespoke, one of our favorite menswear designers, offers some advise on looking great despite the heat:
Do you have any advice for grooms in the warm months?
If you’re going to have a more casual wedding, opt for warm weather fabrics like linen or cotton. Also, a half-lined jackets leads to more breathability for the groom. Wear a poplin or linen shirt with your suit. The colors should be light to match the season. If you’re going to have a more formal wedding, try a white dinner jacket with tuxedo pants for a Bond inspired look.

They’re also doing their very own giveaway you won’t want to miss.
