Brittany and Dee from Society 11:11 Hair & Makeup were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding day. From our first communication, they were friendly, warm, and very responsive, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. On the day of, they were incredibly patient and adaptable as I had made major changes (cut all of my hair off and changed the style). My hair and makeup looked natural, and they worked collaboratively with me to bring my vision to life. My partner was glowing! They were also right on time and shared their schedules with us and our wedding party, which helped keep the whole day relaxed and on schedule. We couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to be a part of our special day. Highly recommend!

I can’t speak highly enough about Alaina. From booking to the wedding day, she was phenomenal. She started with a questionnaire to discuss my vision, skincare, and what makeup I currently the use. The trial was so much FUN and she took everything I said into consideration. Come the wedding day, she made all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable. I had girls who like heavy makeup, girls who like minimal, and everything in between. She accommodated everyone’s needs and my friends have never looked more beautiful! As for my makeup, my skin has never looked so flawless! All night everyone commented on my makeup, saying it was pristine. It lasted all through the night. Photos, dinner, and TONS of dancing, everything stayed perfectly. She even gave us little touch up kits and straws so we wouldn’t mess up our lips. Thank you, Alaina, for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Mariia and her team did an amazing job for my wedding on 10/12/24 at the VB Oceanfront! We were in love with our hair and makeup. When I was seeking out an MUA at the beginning, her portfolio immediately stood out to me as someone who has attention to detail, empathy for her clients, kindness and above all, extreme skill for her craft. I was going for a soft glam, glowy look that was natural looking and MaryLy hit the nail on the head. Thank you so much!! I would recommend MaryLy to anyone looking for wedding makeup, or any photoshoot. 10 out of 10!! All my girls loved how sweet, kind, professional, and skilled she and her team was. They arrive on time and prepared with all their materials and stuck to their schedule.

She is incredibly talented. Everyone’s makeup looked absolutely beautiful - from my bridesmaids to my mom and grandma - and she did an amazing job working with different skin types and styles to make everyone feel confident and like the best version of themselves. Tiffany is professional, prompt, and had great communication throughout the entire process. I felt so comfortable and confident in her hands. I’ll be recommending her to anyone who will listen.

Awarded Best of Zola
As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos

Hello, I’m KD of Kdssociety — a bridal makeup artist specializing exclusively in wedding beauty. With over a decade of experience, I create timeless, radiant bridal looks designed to enhance your natural elegance. My passion is ensuring every bride not only looks flawless on her special day, but leaves my chair feeling confident, celebrated, and unforgettable.

I was in a wedding 2 years ago and needed a makeup artist. I came across KD’s work through another friend, because she had done her face for her wedding and it was stunning. I’m not makeup oriented, but when I want to look dolled up I don’t want to look like a completely different person. While KDs range of work spans from Soft glam to dramatic, she gave me exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t want to be caked up full of makeup, I wanted to still look like myself just enhanced a little. I loved it! And here I am attending another event this year where I wanted a complete look, and KD is my go to. She is worth booking over and over again, she’s super professional, sweet and kind. She’s informative, can educate you on what she’s doing without making one feel uncomfortable or small due to the lack of knowledge. She has a beautiful spirit and it shines in her work. I absolutely love her.

Will your Hair and Makeup look like you? timeless, polished, and stunning on camera? Will your morning feel calm, or chaotic? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You deserve an artist who listens and *really* hears you. Every look is built around your features, your style, your vision, so you walk in feeling luminous, confident, and yourself. And your morning? Calm, on time, and completely taken care of, that is exactly what Cedrian is known for. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cedrian was AMAZING to work with! I loved the whole process with her. From the trial to giving me my little goodie bag for touch ups she was an absolute gem to work with. One of the biggest things that I think is needed for brides (especially us Type A's) is communication and listening. We need someone who is pleasant to work with but knows that ultimately the job needs to get done. THAT was a big thing for me when it came to Cedrian that I LOVED. During the trial, I gave inspo pics and then we built on that. And I'm telling you that when I wanted a little more shadow or a little more contour, she did it ONE time and it was exactly what I wanted. Another thing that I loved about her is that she loves what she does! You can tell in her work, the way she has told stories of past brides..it just exudes from her! For me, that is someone I wanted on my team for the wedding day. Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with love and happiness and fun! Get Cedrian as your artist! I'm telling you. Throughout my process of picking vendors, I am a research queen. I check the reviews, and I read all the reviews. Cedrian is EVERYTHING her brides have said. I am SO happy to have found her. Thank you for everything Cedrian!

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was signing JW Artistry! I’m so pleased I had Erica, Jessica, and Marissa do my hair and make up as well as my five bridesmaids, mom, and godmother. I’m not one that wears makeup often and my skin is very sensitive, but Jessica did an incredible job making sure I was comfortable, the makeup was not heavy, and the look was exactly what I was going for. She was also extremely meticulous and accommodating during my trial! Jessica is clearly very talented, and knows exactly what she’s doing. I loved my makeup for the wedding day! It looked so natural, but enhanced my features perfectly. Now in terms of Janna and Angela, I am so grateful to both of them and how organized and responsible they are with running their business. They were so communicative, gave me updates, answered all my questions, and showed a lot of integrity throughout the whole process to make sure that I was feeling confident about my artists, my timeline, and my experience. Truly so professional and trustworthy. And finally, Erica, who was hands down one of the shining stars of my entire wedding day. I’m still in disbelief with Erica‘s devotion to my group. She really went above and beyond on the day. From keeping our flower girl busy and making sure she doesn’t touch the tools to helping my mom find her lost phone to staying till the very last minute to make sure I didn’t need any additional touchups to walk me through every step of her doing my hair to literally spending several minutes with a single individual hair and making sure it wasn’t in the way…I could not be more grateful. My jaw literally dropped when she showed me the picture of the back of my hairstyle. She also saved the day when I got a floral piece for my mother that had a white ribbon that needed to be concealed and Erica masterfully covered it up so that mom did end up wearing it on the day. My girls loved their hair and makeup too. The artists did fantastic with mature skin. And guests were stunned with how gorgeous everyone looked. I know a thing or two about makeup and Jessica is very much in the know about certain products, techniques, and trendy looks. From hydrogrip primers to ABH palettes, she knows her stuff. Also, one of my bridesmaids is a hair dresser and she was also very impressed. In fact, one bridesmaid had really short hair and Marissa nailed it somehow! Working with the length and creating a gorgeous look. She also pulled out that Fenty bronzer because she ain’t playinnn. Every artist was on time, professional, ready to go with plenty of high-quality tools and products. So grateful for this team!

I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

You WANT to book this ray of sunshine! Joie is so good at what she does. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her as both a bride and a bridesmaid, and I have loved the end result both times. Joie brings such a positive vibe to the day, and truly pampers her brides. I did two makeup previews before the wedding day, and being able to tweak things to get it just right meant Joie nailed it on the wedding day and I looked exactly how I wanted to. My makeup stayed put ALL DAY, through tears and all, and the lip touch up kit came in clutch. She and her colleague even got a *flat tire* on the way to do our makeup, and she did not let that derail the morning! She was prepared to do anything to get there. She provides such high value service and really provides a whole experience that you will be glad to have for your biggest moments. Fan for life!

Isabella was so amazing to work with! She had an open line of communication from start to finish. I didn’t have the time to do a trial yet she still managed to do my makeup exactly as I wanted! My bridesmaids and mom were also extremely pleased with their makeup! Don’t hesitate - book with Isabella now!

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.

Manpreet from Glam By MK was an absolute dream to work with! She created four stunning looks for me over our wedding weekend, and each one was beautiful, unique, and perfectly matched to the outfit and occasion. I don’t usually wear much makeup, and my only request was to keep everything looking natural and true to me—and she completely nailed it. The makeup enhanced my features without ever feeling heavy or overdone. Even my friends who are makeup pros couldn’t stop complimenting her work! Her hairstyling was just as amazing—each look was different, elegant, and enhanced with the perfect accessories. She also did hair for my mom and sister, and I loved how all their styles turned out. Her assistant did a fantastic job with their makeup too! Manpreet was professional, calm, and so easy to work with throughout. I’m so glad I had her as my artist for such an important weekend—highly recommend her to any bride!
