Bridal Bouquet: The Color of Calm

Surround yourself with the subtle scent of lavender to stay calm.

Like most brides-to-be, you probably haven’t taken a deep breath since, oh, the moment he first slipped that ring on your finger. So now, it’s time to surround yourself with the calming scent (and color) of lavender. Light a candle. Take a soak. Then, breathe in, breathe out, and repeat: Calm is beautiful.
