Cabo Azul Resort
San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico
You’ll say “I do” to a visit to Cabo Azul Resort, and your bridesmaids will too.

Eau Spa by Cornelia at The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach
Manalapan, Florida
Before walking down the aisle, you’re walking on air. Share that feeling with your friends at Eau Spa by Cornelia, a 42,000-square-foot spa wonderland. Swing in birdcage-inspired chairs suspended above reflecting pools in the lounge garden, indulge in champagne and mini-cupcakes in the relaxation room, or stop by the Scrub and Polish Bar—just some of the magical elements that make up the spa’s whimsical design.
