    I worked with Special Event Beauty. I really liked working with the whole team (Kim, Noel, Kerry, and Rachel). Their prices are really reasonable and everyone who had hair and makeup done loved how they looked... and everything lasted all night!

    I have a consult with Brea from Makeup by Brea in a couple weeks. I have heard great things about her and so far she seems really nice. Her prices are good as well. Check her out!

    One more thing...I LOVE your cake in your siggy pic. Where did you get it from?

    I used Ann Marie Kett - 508 340 2624.  She did a great job and I loved working with her.  Prices are good, definitely recommend.

    I used Brea from Makeup by Brea. She was great! All of my ladies looked wonderful. She was a joy to have as part of my wedding day. She even handled my momzilla really well. They were having some miscommunication issues regarding her makeup and she was really professional about it and worked to get everyone done on time. I would definitely recommend her! She also had some really helpful items with her like ipod speakers and a steamer, which both came in handy during the day. Definitely check her out!

    Caitlin Murphy is incredible. I don't know if she'll have availability on that short notice but it's worth a shot. http://caitlinmurphystylist.com/

    I used Dani Wagener and she was wonderful.  Our venue was late opening up for us to get ready, so she started half an hour behind schedule and still managed to get me in my dress early so I could enjoy myself more.  She also did a great job of covering the ezcema outbreak I got due to the stress of the week.  You couldn't see it at all.  My bridesmaids loved her too

    My FMIL got it for the shower.  I guess she got it at Wilsons Farm in Lexington.  I had no idea they did cakes that that.  Its was delicious.  Chocolate cake with a raspberry buttercream filling.

    Blueeyed - I'm using facesbyrobin.  I had a trial with Brea and really liked it; I would recommend her but I meshed with Robin better.  Also, I can't believe you live in Lexington - I do too! Just moved there last summer so still discovering things - we use to live in Newton so I miss breakfast at Cabots - any recs for breakfast in Lexington?
