Bridal Beauty: How to get that Wedding Day Glow

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

With wedding season in full-swing, our beauty expert and Spa Mio Manager, Katherine Wind shares her inside knowledge on the best ways to make sure your skin is flawless for your big day.

FacialThe planning and details that go into a wedding are never-ending and planning your pre-wedding skin and beauty treatment is just as important as picking out the cake! Whether you have a few months or a few days before the ceremony, Spa Mio has services to help you get that sought after wedding day glow.

Three months until your wedding

If you have a skin care budget for your wedding, it’s a great idea to invest in a series of microdermabrasion facials or glycolic peels. These treatments will improve the texture and tone of your skin. It takes care of pesky problems like blackheads, fine lines, wrinkles and pore size while leaving the skin feeling silky soft and photo ready! The series should start three months before the wedding and appointments should occur every two-three weeks. Booking a series is the best way to see optimal results.

One month until your wedding

MakeupNever leave your hair and makeup as a surprise for your wedding day. Request a trial run of your hair and makeup so you can take the look for a test run. When booking your trial services, request someone who will be working the day of your wedding as well. Besides ensuring you know what the finished product will look like, it will eliminate some stress on the day of your wedding.  Remember, less stress means fewer breakouts!

Two weeks until your wedding

Facials within two weeks of your wedding should only be cleansing or hydrating facials. At Spa Mio, we would suggest our Brilliance Facial. The Brilliance Facial is a Vitamin C facial designed to fight free radical damage and stimulate collagen to hydrate and plump the skin.

Two days until your wedding

For that last minute shine, schedule a facial (still only cleansing or hydrating) at least 48 hours prior to your wedding. Pre-wedding facials will even help enhance the way the makeup lays on your skin. Since it is only two days prior to your big day keep in mind that you should request no extractions with your service, it will minimize your chances of breaking out.

No matter what regimen you decide on for your pre-wedding beauty remember to talk to the aestheticians that you will be administering your services. If you communicate your concerns and purpose for the facial, the aestheticians can customize the treatment to fit your needs.  Be sure to include important information such as allergies, current medications so the treatments work for you!

Wedding TablescapeThere must be something in the casino air in Vegas and we’re not just talking about that pleasant scent you smell at M. On average there’s a wedding every 4 ½ minutes here in Sin City (that’s a whole lot of cake).  But, if you think Vegas is only known for quickie weddings with cheesy themes at 24-hour chapels, then you’ve got it all wrong. Here at M, we turn your wedding dreams into reality. We have a variety of venues for all your nuptial needs whether you desire ballrooms, poolside terraces or even a rooftop restaurant.

Ten Off the Cuff Vol. III

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

We know you were waiting!!! Here are 10 more off-the-cuff things we think are pretty cool at M Resort that you should know about:

TerzettopatioblogIf you haven’t dined outside on the Terzetto patio, it’s a must. The view is great and the infinity pools are definitely cool. They also make a perfect aisle if you’re looking for a unique spot to get married.

 

 

 

ObeliskblogThe obelisk out by the porte cochere is something you should take a gander at. It’s made of bronze and kind of resembles a gun sight. If you follow its line, it travels through the lobby, out over the pool, across the main stage and out to the famous Las Vegas strip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MainstageblogAnd how about that main stage? An amazing view for guests and performers alike. 

BallroomblogOkay, okay, maybe it’s just a ballroom, but it’s a HUGE ballroom and you might not have even known it was here tucked away on the spa level. Reception after Terzetto patio ceremony? Yep.

 

 

 

FitnessCenterviewblog

 There’s no better motivation to get fit than gazing out over our spectacular pool. Our fitness center offers a view for aesthetics and to help you keep going.

 

 

 

 

HashHousetractorblog

 

Antique tractor in a casino? Cool.

 

 
 

 

 

CeilingTilesblogYou may not have known what you were looking at, but the tiles covering the columns and ceiling on the casino floor are mother of pearl.

 

 

 

 

 

GlassElevatorblogMaybe you’ve never used it or even seen it, but there’s a sweet glass elevator between the Lobby Bar and Oyster Bar – it travels down to the spa level and then further down to Hostile Grape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mgastationblog

 

 

 That’s right, M Resort has a gas station and you can use your iMagine Rewards points there. Nice.

 

 

  

VigTripleCrownblog

 

Can’t remember all the Triple Crown Winners? Who took the World Series in 1966? The walls at Vig Deli are covered in sports factoids to peak your interest or settle the debate.
