Create a Window to Your
Destination Wedding

Rippee Photo WeddingsWith destination weddings on the rise, it is becoming more and more important for couples to have a means for informing their guests of their upcoming wedding plans as well as provide recommendations for out-of-town guests.

Wedding websites allow your guests one-stop shopping when it comes time for them to arrange their travel plans as well as other details. You can be as specific as you wish and link your website directly to the hotel reservation pages that you would like to recommend to your guests.

Destination weddings have definitely become a way for couples to express their style in a less traditional way. If you choose to have your wedding in a destination location, try to make it a fun experience for you and your fiancé as well as for your guests.

Destination Wedding Tips
1. Location, Location, Location. When selecting a location, choose one that appeals to your tastes and wedding style. Keep in mind, however, that because it won't be as easy as going down the street to the local church to attend your wedding, you'll have to assume that your guest list may be smaller.

Top Ten Spa Beauty Trends
to Look for in 2009

Many of the trends I predicted for 2008 are still with us: skin-care gadgets, ingredients from the Amazon, an obsession with eyelash products. But there are many new spa beauty developments to look for in 2009—and one bonus trend now upon us that I just didn't see coming.

1. Brand-Name Facialists
Move over doctors Murad, Perricone, and Wexler and make room for a new genre of facialist-branded skin-care treatments and products. Fifth Avenue's Tracie Martyn just partnered with the new Fontainebleau Resort & Spa in Miami Beach; treatments designed by Los Angeles skin-health expert Kate Somerville are now available from Hawaii to Chicago; London's leading facialist Eve Lom has come stateside at Space NK; and the handmade holistic products of south Florida facialist Tammy Fender have reached retail big-time. Maybe 2009 will be the year that a female facialist breaks Sephora's glass ceiling; currently the chain
doesn't stock a single one.

2. Gem Stoned
Silver, gold, and platinum are so 2008. Spas around the world are now boasting the benefits of beauty products infused with precious and semi-precious gems. New York's Cornelia Day Resort just launched Jewelry for Skin; Paris adores Lisa Simon's range inspired by India; and Dubai's spectacular yet soulful Shiffa range is used in spa rituals at the Peninsula Beverly Hills and the Trump Spa in Chicago. Whether gem extracts are as beautifying as the real thing has yet to be determined, but some spas swear by the subtle healing energies imparted by them. Article Continues
