Bridal Glow At Any Age

Looking to achieve a bridal glow? Did you know the age of the average bride getting married in 2011 is 25.8, up from age 20 in the 1960s*? While that may be the current statistic, the majority of my friends were closer to thirty when they tied the knot.

Does this mean the era of the young blushing bride is over? Probably not, but it does mean that there should be a more modern vision of the bride as mature and independent!

Regardless of age, all brides want to beautiful on their wedding day. This can cause slightly older brides to pay more for beauty products and procedures. While we think cosmetic surgery and botox are a bit much for any bride, splurging on a facial or skin care regimen is usually a great idea!
