From the Editors What a difference a year makes! Last year, couples were sorting through large guest lists and looking forward to crowded dance floors. Now, decisions that no one has had to make before are the norm. Who are the ten most important people in your life? How do you want your Zoom wedding to look? Postpone your original wedding once again or have the intimate elopement? We hope that the pages of this issue help you plan your romantic elopement or mini wedding and dream about the future. Once family and friends are allowed to gather again, we know that receptions filled with fun, and happiness will be happening everywhere. We all look forward to that time while we appreciate the lovely micro weddings happening now. So feast your eyes on forest ceremonies, beach weddings and mountain top elopements. What you may not have in size you may now have in luxury. Make sure that when you look back at your photos that your wedding day looks just as special as you had always envisioned. Love is not cancelled! Peter Hunt, Victoria Spirits
Choose the right suit and you can use it for “I do” or for “all the best to you” and more. Great selection by Canadian and International designers to suit your size and style in store now.

extra without all the fuss, we offer a better option at the shop - a Lash Lift & Tint.A Lash Lift is essentially a “perm” for your lashes, giving you that full, curled eyelash effect to open up the look of your eyes for 6 - 8 weeks. The treatment takes less than an hour, the results are immediate, and the solution won’t damage your natural growth. Combine your Lift with a Lash Tint to complete the effect. Lash Tint is like semipermanent mascara, adding colour and definition to your lashes for up to a month. The Lift & Tint option is a way more affordable and easy treatment for your lashes - you can enhance your natural look without worrying about maintaining them on a day-to-day basis! No muss, no fuss baby.
Shapely, Manicured Brows
Whether you get hitched in a barn, a ballroom or your own backyard, your wedding day is a special moment to showcase your brilliance and feel the MOST foxy you’ve ever felt. Spending a little metime in preparation for the big day can ensure stress-free smooth-sailing, so you can relax and just focus on what really matters: savouring every second and creating memories to last a lifetime. We’ve prepared a little guide to the quick, convenient and affordable services we offer that will set you up for walkin’ down the aisle ~ foxy style!
Waxing Before Your Wedding Waxing is your best option for hair removal before your big day. It’s low maintenance, budget-friendly and long-lasting. Because we remove the hair at the root, your results will last anywhere from four to six weeks, making waxing the ideal option for your wedding day (and beyond). You’ll be silky smooth as you sashay down the aisle, and you’ll have no need to shave throughout your honeymoon! For all you regular waxers, we recommend booking your services 2 - 3 days before your wedding.
If you're new to the waxing world, we recommend planning ahead and scheduling two waxes BEFORE the big day. Meaning you may want to begin your waxing journey a few months in advance. This way you have time to recover from any reactions or post-wax tenderness, and you’ll get the first wax (the most uncomfortable one) out of the way prior to your wedding. You’ll be a waxing pro in no time! When you book in for your prewedding wax at Foxy Box, rest assured you’re in expert hands. Our Vagicians are here to help you live your best hair-free life, from head to tail. Quick and convenient, our services make it easy for even the busiest bride to keep on top of things. We’ll wax, you relax ;)
Gorgeous, Fluffy Lashes Now let's talk about those pretty peepers! Extensions are a popular option, but they're expensive and time-consuming, and can damage your natural lashes. They require diligent after-care: no rubbing your eyes (come on, like you’re not gunna cry on your wedding). You also can’t use oil-based products or sleep on your face... so many rules! For brides that want a little something
For your brows we offer an amazing new service called a Brow Lamination: this 3 step system realigns directional hair growth and overall shape, and creates the look of added volume and fullness by setting brow hairs over sparse spots, resulting in sleeker, slicker, fluffier brows for up to 8 weeks. It’s an affordable, needle-free treatment that will keep your brows on point from your rehearsal dinner all the way until the end of the honeymoon! PLUS every lamination includes a brow wax for that clean, sharp, well-defined line, so your eyes can really pop in all those photos.
Get Ready For Your Big Day, The Foxy Way We appreciate how time-consuming and stressful planning a wedding can be, so we want to provide service options that consider your schedule, your budget and your overall peace of mind. The name of the game at Foxy Box is convenient, effective and affordable services that will last, so all our Foxy brides get to wake up brighteyed and bushy-tailed with the least amount of maintenance each morning! Would you like to learn more about wedding prep at Foxy Box? Head on over to our website to learn about all of our service offerings. And before we forget, CONGRATULATIONS babe!!
