A Prep Guide for the Mother of the Bride (or Groom)

Look and feel your best for the big day—with confidence, grace, and glow.

Your child’s wedding is a milestone moment—and so much more than a party. As the mother of the bride or groom, you’ll be remembered in every heartfelt speech, family photo, and quiet moment of support. You deserve to feel as radiant as the role you’re stepping into.

This carefully timed beauty prep guide uses regenerative treatments, personalized sequencing, and expert-level care to ensure you arrive looking refreshed, rested, and fully yourself.

Lift, Sculpt & Restore with The Silent Lift™

Begin your transformation with The Silent Lift™, Dr. Scott Gerrish’s signature non-surgical facial rejuvenation protocol. This multi-phase, regenerative treatment combines biostimulatory injectables, ultrasound therapy, and facial contouring to restore a youthful lift to the mid and lower face, without the need for surgery or downtime.

It works gradually, using your body’s natural healing and collagen-building responses to smooth, firm, and define. You’ll see subtle lift right away, with maximum benefits unfolding over 2–3 months.

Start early—at least 5–6 months before the wedding—to ensure results are fully realized and refinements can be made, if desired.

Pro Tip: Silent Lift™ is a core part of our ClockWork AGE™ method, which aligns your results with your timeline for a naturally stunning outcome.

Reveal Radiance with Glacē™ Hydrodermabrasion

Glacē™ is our signature no-downtime, high-performance facial that delivers hydration, exfoliation, and a smooth, light-reflecting finish in just one session.

Inspired by Korea’s glass-skin aesthetic, this treatment uses gentle hydrodermabrasion technology to cleanse pores, remove dead skin cells, and infuse your skin with revitalizing serums—all while sculpting and refreshing your complexion. It’s refreshing, effective, and instantly gratifying.

Begin Glacē™ facials 3–4 months before the wedding for a series of 3–5 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart. We can also pair Glacē™ with SkinMedica® Peels to target texture, tone, and deeper resurfacing needs.

Pro Tip: Schedule your final Glacē™ session 5–7 days before the wedding for maximum glow without sensitivity.

Smooth & Refresh with Fillers and Botox

With your lift and glow already underway, this is the time to finesse your final look.
Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm or Restylane, add soft volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline.

Botox® works beautifully in tandem to reduce forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, creating a rested, approachable look that reflects how good you feel.

You’ll still look like you, just a little more polished, lifted, and luminous.

Hair & Makeup Dress Rehearsal

Treat this like an actual dress rehearsal. Get your hair cut or trimmed and book a full makeup and hair trial with your stylist. Try on your whole look—from hairstyle to earrings—to ensure every detail feels like you.

This is also an excellent time for a lash tint, brow shape, or trial spray tan (if desired).

Relax, Polish & Prepare

The finish line is here. With so many moving parts, take a moment to breathe and care for yourself. Book a gentle massage or relaxing spa service with your child to reconnect and unwind.

Don’t forget these essentials:

• Brow shaping and facial hair waxing

• Manicure & pedicure (ideally 2–3 days before the wedding)

• Light exfoliation or a mini facial for final touch-ups

• Pack your personal beauty touch-up kit for the day
