I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

Jasmine Lynn Makeup

  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Chester, VA

I’m Jasmine, A Richmond, Virginia based makeup artist dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty of those I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and those I’ve yet to meet. What began as a love for makeup through creativity and self-expression has grown into a meaningful career centered around connection and helping others feel like the best versions of themselves.

I had the pleasure of having Jasmine do my bridal makeup and the makeup for my bridal party. Immediately from our consultation and trial at Melt, Jasmine was welcoming and calm, yet also driven and confident in her skills. She took the time to know what exactly I was and was not looking for. She took note of things I was particular about (filling in my eyebrows) and ensured they were exactly how I wanted before moving on. She even fielded my never ending questions about skin care since she is so knowledgeable! On my wedding day, Jasmine was promptly on time and a calm presence that helped keep me at ease. Jasmine was happy to make any changes throughout the makeup application process with no issue (I was difficult and changed my lip color 3 times). My entire bridal party still continues to rave about Jasmine’s work and claim it was the best professional makeup they’ve had. We all felt like enhanced versions of ourselves—it was exactly what we were looking for. The small kit of to-go and touch up items that Jasmine provided each of us ensured our makeup looked perfect the entire night. I would highly recommend Jasmine for any and all bridal/formal makeup services! Melt is lucky to have her.

Renee Doorly 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Chester, VA

I am a freelance hair and makeup artist offering on-site bridal hairstyling and makeup. My artistic approach stems from my time studying painting at VCU Arts. I’ve learned so much in my 6 years doing bridal styling and have loved every minute. From in-person and online workshops to learn from other artists in my community, I am always picking up new techniques and finding new inspiration. My style is natural but elevated. I love texture and romance.

Renee was such a blessing for our wedding! I wanted to do big, voluminous Hollywood waves and she knocked it out of the park! She took the time to make sure she really understood what I wanted, and when I asked to make some tweaks after the first trial she went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% happy! She absolutely killed it on our wedding day, from updos to curls, everyone looked amazing and lasted all day. People are still telling me how amazing my hair looked. On top of it all She’s such a sweet gentle person that everyone was so comfortable with. 10/10 recommended!

Modern, Chic, Timeless. When you look so good your hubby can't keep his eyes off you. Remember brides we offer bridal touch-ups! So if you want to switch up your look post-ceremony we can make that happen! If you have ever been one of my clients you know that I love using a lot of adjectives to try and get my point across about the looks I'm envisioning.

Ashley and her second stylist were our hair stylists for my HUGE wedding party. They arrived on time, were extremely professional (in their conversation and presentation) and brought their own equipment (to include chairs and tables). They had such a calming and genuine presence and my girls & I just loved sitting in their chairs. They were very good about asking questions about our preferences and were very attentive to achieving our desired looks.

Bridal beauty is my passion—and it all starts with great skin. With over 6 years of experience and more than 200 weddings under my belt, I’ve had the honor of making brides look and feel their most beautiful.

Now, I offer full-service beauty, from personalized skincare treatments to flawless makeup, lashes, brows, full-body waxing, and spray tans—helping you glow from the inside out.

Ashton Michelle Makeup and Esthetics was an absolute joy to work with! Their communication style was positive, upbeat, and crystal clear. The quality of their work was excellent - they have a great understanding of combination skin and provided a clean, flawless application. I did a styled shoot with Ellynne Bridal and Ashton did amazing work touching me up throughout the shoot, making me look and feel stunning. I felt so pretty and confident thanks to their skilled artistry. I highly recommend Ashton Michelle Makeup and Esthetics!

Thank you for considering me to be part of your big day! With 14+ years of experience, I’ve seen (and tamed) it all. If you need someone to keep your hair flawless through happy tears, epic dance moves, and maybe one too many champagne toasts—I’m your girl. I travel far and wide to make sure brides look like royalty. Think of me as your fairy hair godmother—except with a curling iron instead of a wand, making sure you’re stunning well past the afterparty. My goal? To make you feel confident, radiant, and 100% you. Let’s make some magic (and great hair)!

All I have to say is wow! I have worked with other stylists before, but have never met somebody as exceptional as Jessica! My wife and I struggled to find somebody with not only an amazing set of skills and talent but also somebody with a fabulous personality but once we connected with Jessica, we knew we found a perfect match. She was able to create magic with my very fine but long hair and also styled my wife whose hair is very short perfectly. I almost wish I had another event coming up soon so I could get pampered again. Such a great overall experience. Thanks again, Jess.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Tai for my March 2025 wedding. I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before, and honestly had some nerves going into the process. I knew from pictures that I felt like Tai’s style fit what I was envisioning, and in the first minutes of meeting Tai, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a kind and bubbly person, the trial felt like catching up with an old friend. Seeing myself in the mirror both on the trial and on the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and confident. I felt like me, but elevated. On top of that, she also helped to cover a scar that I got on my back from an unexpected procedure a month prior to my wedding. I felt so insecure about it, and she was able to cover it with ease. As for the look itself, it lasted all night, through happy tears and a hot dance floor. One of the best wedding vendors out there, would definitely work with her again!!
