Book this team for your wedding hair and makeup!! It was such a great experience getting to know Laura, she is easy to work with and kind yet professional and gives you recommendations to help you achieve your vision. We had a large bridal group getting our hair/makeup done and the Blush Team knocked it out of the park. All of my girls were raving about how beautiful they felt and how great their hair and makeup turned out. Very fair price for the quality of the services you receive, especially compared to a few other salons I quoted. Thank you!!

I have been working with Laura for the past couple months, and would very highly recommend her and her team! Laura and Melanie were always very prompt and super professional and knowledgeable while having lots of fun with us.

I first worked with Laura to get eyelash extensions and then for a hair and makeup trial for my wedding. I had never had lash extensions before and Laura worked with me on a schedule so I could get used to them before my wedding, then fill to look perfect for my wedding and then honeymoon. I am converted, absolutely love them and how I don’t have to wear ANY other makeup every day and don’t think I can go back to not getting them!

I absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Laura and Mel knew just what to do for me and my bridesmaids, mother, aunt, and mother-in-law. We all keep saying we wish we could get this hair and makeup done every weekend. ; )

I think these photos show the carefully and expertly applied makeup and beautifully styled hair.

Thank you Laura and Melanie - I know who I will call whenever I need hair, makeup, and lash services!

Absolute perfection it’s as simple as that. Laura and Melanie are so amazing at what they do! What impressed me the most was their ability to not only ensure that I was done perfectly but they were able to do that all while ensuring every member of the bridal party received the same excellence as well. Even my mother who has a hard time with getting her make-up done, Laura was able to listen to her concerns and give her exactly what she wanted without aging her with heavy make-up.

Myself and my bridal party received compliments all night too. Even after hours of dancing I had guests asking me how my hair and make-up still looked perfect like it was just done. That just shows you how amazing they are!

You should absolutely go with Blush Bridal!

Laura's team made me feel the most beautiful I ever had in my life. Their warmth, joy and professionalism made all of my bridesmaids feel comfortable and they all LOVED the way they looked. Laura even squeezed my mom in for a quick airbrush even though she wasn't on the schedule, which only made her services more amazing. Her passion for beauty was clear from the moment I met her at my trial. She was also very understanding and listened to my needs. She even made some day-of tweaks to my look when I requested them, which I was so thankful for. I also was obsessed with my tan. I got so many compliments on how fabulous my skin looked. Seriously, I felt stunning from head to toe! You will not regret hiring Laura and her team for your wedding day. Run, don't walk to book her!

Honestly, I can't say enough great things about Laura and her team of exceptional beauty professionals. Not only did they do an amazing job with me and my wedding party, they also did an exceptional job with my bride and her bridal party. Two brides can be a lot to handle (!) and from the very beginning Laura was absolutely a dream to work with. Not only did she have an amazing response time to answer any questions/concerns we had, she also made us both feel super relaxed about the process and all the little details.
Melanie did my hair and make up the day of and Katie did my wife's hair and make up. Both did such an incredible job and we felt so beautiful on our special day! They were all very professional, timely, and super easy to work with.
I would highly recommend their team for any bride or beauty service needed. Thank you all for all your lovely work!

My mom and I got our hair and makeup done for my wedding at Blush Bridal with Laura (makeup) and Melanie (hair). We found them after 2 other unsuccessful trials. Their work was flawless for both hair and makeup at the wedding and matched the trial. We asked for more "natural looking" makeup and romantic hair down and they delivered.

During both the trial and wedding, they were flexible and willing to work with us to check in along the way and make any adjustments we wanted. They recommended a great brand for hair extensions and applied them very nicely. Helped attach the veil, etc.

Finally, they created a relaxing and fun atmosphere that helped us go into the wedding with a cheerful mood. I not only felt beautiful, but got a ton of compliments from our many guests, who said I looked incredible.

The only hiccup was some back and forth about payments and contracts, but it ultimately got resolved. Highly recommend this vendor for great quality and flexibility!

After a terrible makeup trial with another bridal beauty vendor, I called Laura in a panic! I knew what I was looking for--something natural, timeless, elegant--but I was having trouble finding someone who could make my vision come to life. Laura reassured me over the phone and recommended I come in for a trial. After spending an hour with her team, Virginia and Danielle, I was beyond convinced that I had to go with Blush Bridal for my wedding day! The two of them took my wedding day dreams and turned them into a reality! My bridesmaids and I had so much fun on the morning of the wedding getting ready with Virginia and Danielle. The two of them were professional, fun, and incredibly skilled in making my entire party look photo-ready. Even more impressive, my hair and makeup stayed beautiful through 90 degree weather with 90% humidity, a torrential thunderstorm, and a crazy night on the dance floor. If you’re looking for a beauty vendor for your event, look no further!

The BEST, most professional and educated team there is. I have worked with Laura for numerous occasions: my wedding, multiple photoshoots, events I've attended, etc. She is the only person I trust for myself and my clients I refer to her (and I am picky).
She knows exactly how to work with all skin types, preferences, and can help you determine what look would be best for you specifically. I have also received her spray tan (no smell and no orange color) as well as her lash extension service; both of which have been top notch. You will love her integrity, passion, and knowledge for what she does!
A true gem in this industry.
