Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

Awarded Best of Zola
The team at The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was an absolute dream. From our very first interaction, the owner was clear on what to expect while being very personable. Their work was professional, creative, and attentive - the hair (for me) and makeup they did for me and my bridesmaids was stunning and lasted all day long. The morning with the Stately Rose team was so fun and stress-free, which was exactly what I needed. We had a few bridesmaids come unprepared and it was no problem for them. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty experience, and I highly recommend them.

Amber and Kristy did a great job on the makeup and hair for myself and my bridesmaids, and makeup for my mom. They were fun, friendly, and informative, and everyone looked beautiful. They listened to my feedback from my trial, and everything came out even better on the day. I felt so beautiful all day, and never worried once about my hair or makeup staying in place, even through SO many tears (even when the wind decided to take my veil, it popped easily back into place)! And everything was so comfortable for how durable it proved to be - no drying products or pulling on my hair. Amber and Kristy's work is a great value, and they fit right in with my bridal party, making the start to the day that much more fun. My only critique was the timeline - I was working without a coordinator, so I trusted the professionals to lay out a timeline that they were comfortable with. Ultimately it just wasn't enough time, and despite my mother-in-law dropping out of the lineup (for unrelated reasons), my makeup still finished late. I understand this stuff happens, but I felt like the only one concerned about continuing to fall behind, and we would have had no issue getting started earlier if asked. So I would recommend some buffer in your timeline, particularly if you are DIYing it, but they did a great job!

Shakeup Makeup is the perfect company for your wedding day makeup. The owner, Marisa, is an absolute pleasure to work with and is a true artist when it comes to makeup. We had set up a trial day before the wedding and I could not be happier. And somehow, on the day of the wedding, the final product was even more stunning! Marisa is personable, professional, and knows her craft. My makeup and the makeup she did for the entire wedding party lasted all day and night, even though we danced with great intensity and really put it to the test! I did not have to touch up my makeup once throughout the night and got many compliments on how it looked. Do not hesitate to book Shakeup Makeup for your next wedding or event!

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

Meghan did an incredible job on my wedding day!! She was attentive to all the different hairstyles my bridesmaids and my mom and my mother-in law asked for. She did multiple touch ups to make sure everyone looked the way they wanted to on the way out the door, and she did not stop until everyone was happy with their look! I changed my mind from my trial after seeing one of my bridesmaid's style, and Meghan adapted quickly! My hair stayed in place the whole wedding night and everyone commented on how beautiful it looked. You want to hire Meghan because of her skill but also her reliability. She was prompt and timely, and anyone who has planned a wedding knows how many moving pieces there are and how hard it can be to find someone reliable and talented and that's exactly who Meghan is!

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry.

I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Can’t thank Cori enough for making our simple beach side wedding effortlessly beautiful.

Nikki was recommended to me by our wedding venue, Jonathan Edwards Winery, and I am so happy I reached out to her. From our very first call she understood that I wanted my makeup to look natural on my wedding day as I don’t usually wear a ton of makeup. Before my hair and makeup trial she took the time to talk about my skincare regimen and recommended skin products to get my skin ready for the wedding. My wedding day hair and makeup was better than I could ever imagine. I felt so beautiful but also looked like myself. My hair and makeup also stayed in place all afternoon and night with no touch ups so that I could focus on my wedding day. I highly recommend booking Nikki for your wedding or event!

My mom does not wear makeup nor does she feel comfortable getting all dolled up, but Sara handled that with a pro, not making my mom feel any pressure with how she looked. She did such a masterful job that I even caught my mom checking herself out in the mirror a few times throughout the night, which never happens!

I used Kaydee and her team for my entire bridal beauty experience, and I couldn't have been happier! She first did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, then my bridal trial (along with a trial for my mom), and finally all of the hair and makeup services for my wedding day. I loved working with Kaydee throughout the entire process, but she truly shined on the wedding day. She was incredibly calm, friendly, and adaptable, making the morning feel stress-free. We had a large group—1 bride, 9 bridesmaids, 3 moms, and 1 grandma—yet Kaydee and her team never seemed overwhelmed. In fact, they arrived early, set up quickly, stayed on schedule, and even had time at the end for touch-ups. It was an extremely hot summer day, with a little rain and lots of humidity, but my hair and makeup lasted all night. I felt absolutely beautiful and loved how everything looked in our photos. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, I especially appreciated that Kaydee enhanced my natural features without making me feel overdone. I would highly recommend Kaydee and her team to any bride looking for talented, professional, and reliable hair and makeup artists. I hope to work with her again for future events!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Shelby Dufour Beauty Artistry LLC was an absolute dream from start to finish. Shelby and her team were incredibly thorough, replied to all of my questions and requests quickly, and were so accommodating throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly stunning - my hair and makeup, as well as that of my bridesmaids, flower girl, and mother, was absolutely beautiful. Shelby's team made my entire bridal party feel so gorgeous and kept the energy going all morning. Shelby had previously done my best friend's makeup for her wedding 3 years ago, and I just knew I needed her to be the one to do mine as well when the time came. Her team is so talented and was able to execute all of our different hairstyle visions flawlessly, even with the variety of hair textures in my bridal party. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself, and received so many compliments throughout the day. I cannot recommend Shelby Dufour Beauty Artistry highly enough!

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

Kadasia was so helpful. I was planning a wedding from 3k miles away. She was affordable, willing to be flexible, and had great communication. She was booked for hair and makeup for myself and several others. She traveled to us in CT. She brought everything she needed and set up in a jiffy. She was on time and ready to go bright and early. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked great. If I traveled to NE again and needed to be done up for any occasion, I’d reach out to her.
