As wedding season approaches, it’s important to have a few trusted go-to places to prepare, whether you’re guests or the couple in question. Nothing is more stressful than running all over town to shop for gifts, find flowers and make spa appointments for the big day.

Instead of rushing across town, let Newport Village be your one-stop shop for wedding prep this year.

Wedding Gifts

Finding a beautiful, useful wedding gift can be difficult, especially if the couple doesn’t have a gift registry. Fortunately, there are two lovely shops in Newport Village that are perfect for the occasion.

Wish On a Star is a boutique that offers a variety of unique, handmade and local items. They also carry artisan furnishings, top-quality local jewelry and monogrammed items that are ideal for wedding gifts. The shop will even package and wrap your purchase so that you don’t have to worry about perfecting the presentation.

Tea & Paper Nook is a whimsical and beautiful little store that offers quirky home accents, sumptuous bath and beauty products and an array of loose-leaf teas that are great for gifting.

Pampering For the Big Day

Whether you’re a bride-to-be, part of the wedding party or simply a guest, it’s important to look and feel your best.

For wedding-worthy hair, book an appointment at Kast Salon. The stylists can give you a fresh cut and colour before the big day, or they can wash and style your hair into perfection.

Great brows and glowing skin are an integral part of any wedding look, so let the pros handle the job. Visit Cleopatra Brow Bar for perfectly sculpted brows and then head over to MD Cosmetic for treatments such as HydraFacial, IV vitamin therapy and microdermabrasion to get a full-body glow.

For the final touch, you can stop by Citrus Nail Lounge for a manicure or pedicure. The technicians also do eyelash extensions, waxing and lash tinting.

One Last Hurrah

Before you tie the knot, you can take your girls out for one last night on the town at St. James’s Well Pub. Enjoy delicious pub food, have a few drinks and order a round of desserts for everyone to celebrate your upcoming wedding. The pub hosts events such as Ladies Night and trivia too, so you can plan your outing accordingly.

If you prefer a more low-key celebration, you can surprise your wedding party with fresh flowers from Port Moody Flowers and pair them with some treats from Casa Dolce Gelato & Chocolate.

Let Newport Village Simplify Your Big Day

Weddings can be hectic and stressful, so let the Newport Village merchants make your day a little more streamlined. Providing quality service with a smile, you can spend more time celebrating and less time dealing with last minute issues.
