Bride's Skin Care Guide...
These four steps will help you to plan on a skin care regiment so you’ll have skin that radiates on your wedding day.

Step One: Cleanse
Any skin care regiment will need to start off with a good cleanser. Origin's Never A Dull Moment™ ($18.50) is a skin brightening face wash that sloughs off pore-clogging  dirt and makeup to help make your skin feel refreshed and renewed. Always start with a good cleanser in the morning and in the evening to ensure a fresh, clean start to your skin’s day.

Step Two: Moisturize
All kinds types can benefit from a moisturizer to help keep your skin feeling smooth and prevent it from becoming dry, itchy, or chapped – which would be a disaster on your wedding day! Keep your skin happy with a moisturizer such as Origin's A Perfect World™ ($36), an antioxidant moisturizer designed to energize and optimize your skin and keep your feeling fresh and relaxed on your wedding day.

Step Three: Exfoliate
Use a product like Origin's Modern Friction™ ($37) to gently exfoliate your skin, removing uneven patches and skin damage all without coarse crystals. This product was designed to help even out your skin tone and doesn’t cause your skin any irritation. Use this to buff up your skin before the wedding!

Step Four: Use a Night Treatment
A night care treatment can do double duty overnight – allowing it to help your skin renew and rejuvenate while you sleep, letting the stresses of the day melt away. Help your skin to rebuilt and be ready for your wedding day with Origin’s High Potency Night-A-Mins® ($33.50) moisture lotion. This product has extra minerals and exfoliating extracts to repair daily skin damage so you wake up with fresh and renewed skin for your big day.

Honeymoon Packing Guide...
Today's bride and groom will have the extra headache of extra luggage fees and airport security issues to deal with. Save yourself a little time and trouble with our Honeymoon Packing Guide.

Pack What You Need - and Pack Light!
Ideally you'll want to bring just one carry-on luggage with you onto the plane so you don't have to check any bags in, which can now incur fees depending on which airline you fly. If you need more than one bag though - still try to pack light! Bring clothes that you love and are versatile so you'll want to wear them. Pack in two's if you can as well - two pairs of jeans, two blouses or shirts, etc.

Leave the Liquids at Home
With today's airline restrictions, it's best to leave your liquids (such as sunscreen) at home unless you can't live without them. You can often buy what you need at the hotel or nearby in the town you're staying in. This will save you room in your bag and save you the hassle of having to separate them out while you're in the airport. If you have to bring items though, be sure to follow the airline restrictions - 3 oz or smaller and in a clear plastic bag (double bagging is recommended to help prevent spills and leakage from getting over all of your other items).

Packing - Roll Rather Than Fold
Roll your garments into your suitcase instead of folding them up. This saves time and space and often will result in less wrinkles on your clothes. Most hotels have irons and ironing boards available if you do need to iron out a skirt or shirt for a special night out on the town during your honeymoon.

Plan and Identify
Be sure to put your name, address and a phone number in the inside of your luggage in case of loss. This ensures a little piece of mind that your information is inside, in case the tags on the outside get lost. Also - make sure you have a backup copy of all of your credit card numbers and phone numbers before you leave. Keep it with a family member or friend in case you lose your wallet on your trip.

Too Heavy To Carry
Have extra items or gear that you need to take with you on your trip? Consider shipping the items to your hotel for safekeeping instead of dragging them along on your journey. This will save you a ton of headache and time - leaving you with extra time to relax and spend the time with your new spouse.

Bring Your Wedding Colors into the Food...

Your wedding colors touch every aspect of your wedding - so do it all the way by using your wedding colors in your food. Have a dessert table that's awash in the color(s) of your wedding. For example, if your wedding colors are "brown and red" - use red candies (think cinnamon candies, hot tamales, red gummi bears), red frosting on cookies or mini cakes, red m&m's and bright, red strawberries on a dessert table. It's dramatic and mouth watering all at once!
