All you brides-to-be out there, I have some very good advice. When crunch time hits (around 5 weeks away from the big day) spoil yourself in a way that allows you to stop, smell the roses and be in the moment. My mom and her best friend treated me to a girls weekend away at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa and it was the sweetest most memorable couple of days as a bride. We spent time lounging together by the pool, telling stories, relaxing at the spa, talking about the upcoming wedding and to top it off they invited a handful of friends the last day for a shower. I left being in a complete state of bliss and incredibly loved.
