Planning for your wedding has left you excited, nervous and, most likely, a bit frazzled. But now your special day is just around the corner, and it's time for you to erase those dark circles and take off that three-month old toenail polish.

It's a good thing that finding expert beauty and hair specialists in the Buckeye State is a cinch! A few days before your wedding, spa services, including waxing, manicures and facials, are available at top locations throughout Ohio. And, of course, you may also want to secure appointments with specialists who will get you and your bridal party prepared. Many will travel to a home location, but you may also wish to travel to the salon.

But be sure to arrive with a few of your favorite beauty products, or designate the job to a bridesmaid. Top wedding experts recommend putting together an "emergency" bag in case of a beauty disaster -- deodorant anyone?

Getting Primped at the Spa

The last few days before your wedding are crucial to making sure you look and feel how you want to for your big day. If you are in northeast Ohio, consider booking spa appointments at AJ's Millenium Spa in Beechwood or Marengo Luxury Spa in Cleveland. Central Ohioans can visit Tranquility Day Spa in Columbus and in Cincinnati Pure Concept Salon and Spa will help get you prepped.

And if you are looking to get primped at another Ohio locale, check out the Spa Index, an in-depth directory of spas around the Buckeye State. Don't forget to consider locations that offer massages, tanning and steam room sessions -- your whole body needs an A-list treatment!

Taming Your Hair for the Big Day

When it comes to choosing a hairstyle, one of the best things you can do is your research! That's because there are so many options out there, and you really need to know what works for you when planning your wedding hairstyle.

A few points to consider:

• Do you want to add decorations to your hair (i.e. flowers, fancy barrettes, etc.)?
• Are you wearing a tiara? A veil?
• Do you want all of your hair off of your face or just partially?
• How well does your hair hold a hairstyle?

Each one of these questions is important to help you determine the hairstyle you will wear when you say "I do!" If you want to adorn your hair with flowers or if you are wearing a tiara, you may have to work your hairstyle around those embellishments. You will also want to consider how you prefer your hair in everyday life. If you have never liked your hair in a ponytail, then you are probably not going to like all of your hair off of your face on your wedding day either. And if your hair is not able to hold a ponytail for long before falling out, then you may want to consider wearing your hair partially up and secured with bobby pins.

Regardless of how you get your hair done for the festivities, you will want to have a practice run or two with the hairstylist you will working with on your wedding day. That way, you will be able to determine what works for you -- and what doesn't look so hot.

The Frugal Beauty Treatment

It's a fact that a wedding can burn a hole in your wallet, so if you are looking to save a bit of dough, consider having an at-home beauty session with your gals. Manicures, pedicures, facials and more can all be done via your best girlfriend's skilled finger tips. Pop in your favorite movie, and you'll have yourself a girls' night of beauty fun!

A Blushing Bride

Beauty does play a big part in making you feel special for your day, but remember that it is your inner glow that will help your true beauty shine through. The excitement you will share with your future spouse will be evident all over your primped and polished face, so keep smiling for that gorgeous bridal radiance!
