the calm before "i do": a pre-wedding beauty ritual for the nashville bride
there's a stretch of time most brides never plan for — the one or two days right before the wedding.
the flowers are ordered, the dress is steamed, the seating chart is (mostly) settled. and then there's you, somewhere in the middle of it all, running on adrenaline and a half-finished to-do list.
at Olas & Flamingo, we think those last quiet days deserve a ritual of their own.
so we built one.
The Bride is our pre-wedding prep experience — a slow, sun-warmed morning of deep hair care, nails, and unhurried calm, designed for the nashville bride who wants to arrive at her wedding day already feeling like herself. think coastal-Italian ease: cold drinks, soft light, and a few hours that belong entirely to you.
why prep your hair before the wedding day?
here's the part most brides don't realize until it's too late.
your wedding-day glam team is there to create your final look — the style, the veil, the finishing touches. what they can't do in that tight morning window is the deep work: clarifying buildup, treating your scalp, and getting your hair into its healthiest, most cooperative state.
that's what The Bride is for. a freshly detoxed, treated scalp means your wedding-day hair holds its style longer, photographs cleaner, and gives your stylist a perfect blank canvas to work with. by the time you sit down in your bridal suite, you're already blowout-ready — your stylist simply adds the signature.
in other words: prep here, and your big-day morning gets noticeably calmer.
what a morning as The Bride looks like
the experience runs about 3.5 hours — long enough to exhale, short enough to fit the week of a wedding. Here's what's woven in.
hair. a scalp detox followed by our Joon System treatment — saffron, rose, and premium botanicals — and finished with a signature blowout. there's an extended head and scalp massage throughout, because this is supposed to feel as good as it works.
nails. your choice of a Dryology Manicure with Gel-X or Structured Gel, paired with our signature sugar scrub, a mud mask, and an extended hand-and-arm massage.
pedicure. your choice of a Classic-with-a-Twist or Dryology Pedicure with gel polish, plus an extended foot-and-leg massage to send you out floating.
and around all of it: welcome champagne and drinks throughout, light bites, a private salon section reserved just for you, a branded Olas & Flamingo gift bag, and a polaroid moment in our brand corner to remember the morning by.
