Big Day Hair & Makeup

thegardnerwedding

Does anybody have some recommendations for hair & makeup for the Big Day?  I see a lot on here about Smart & Chic, but are there any others you've worked with that you like?  

I'm looking for someone to do hair/makeup for myself + bridesmaids.  Thanks!

I'm using Brett Dorrian's studio, but one of her associates, since Brett has another job that day.  Her website is www.brettdorrianartistrystudios.com. What I like about them is that their tattoo covers are flawless, which is really important for me, and I like how in the before/after pictures, everyone still looks like themself.  The individual attention is really great.  I think they're my favorite vendor.

I'm using Brett as well. She is awesome and has been awesome to work with. Her people are just as good as she is. She is expensive but she was my splurge. If you can afford her, I would book her

My sister used Cate Kettner for both... she looked gorgeous!  Elena Sanders (sister of a friend) did all us bridesmaids' updos for my sisters wedding and did a fantastic job for a super reasonable price ($25 apiece).

One that I found was Dawn L. Fredrickson Hair and Makeup Artistry who's super reasonable $160 for bride's hair+makeup+trials (on facebook)

Another I've seen recommended on here was Mariah's Beauty Marks

Like everyone else, I'm planning on using Smart and Chic at the moment; I booked with Amber Brenke and will probably have Elena come in to do my bridesmaids' hair.
