Awarded Best of Zola
Tai was my makeup artist for my wedding, and she was wonderful to work with - professional, on time, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. I was pleased with my final look and felt like a more glam version of myself, which was what I wanted. Five of us had our makeup done, and Tai took great care with each person, especially my sister who has very sensitive skin and my mom whose makeup preferences were more specific. We also loved the touch-up kits provided for each of us. Tai was open to feedback both during my bridal trial and on the wedding day itself (pictures of my trial attached - realized I didn't take a good plain make up shots on the day of). Since I don’t have much experience with makeup terminology, it took us a little longer to get to what I wanted for my eye makeup and lip color. Tai was very accommodating as we adjusted a few things together. Looking back, I think seeing some colors swatched directly on my skin earlier in the process could have helped, especially since as a non-expert, it felt like we were on different pages trying to communicate. However, that probably isn’t specific to Lovely Beauty and would’ve been the case with myself and any make up artist. In any case, Tai’s willingness to collaborate and make adjustments was appreciated. Additionally, the Lovely Beauty Team was responsive to my emails and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and I would absolutely recommend them to other brides.

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are to Breanna and Molly at Wild Rose Planning & Events. Planning my daughter’s destination wedding in Ireland was no small task, but from the very beginning, they made us feel completely supported and at ease. Their attention to detail was simply incredible. Whether someone needed eye drops, a last-minute banner had to be made, or the venue needed setting up, nothing was ever too much to ask. Breanna and Molly seemed to be everywhere at once, always anticipating what was needed before anyone even had to ask. Because of their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care, our guests were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of such a special celebration. By the end of the wedding, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room, including Breanna and Molly. That speaks volumes about the love, heart, and dedication they pour into what they do. We could not have asked for better partners in bringing my daughter’s dream wedding to life, and we will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend Wild Rose Planning & Events highly enough.

We had our wedding in Fall 2024. We booked with a Venue that offered all the things, and great packages, so we could be worry free come the Big Day! Unfortunately, come our wedding day we did not get what we were promised or planned for. After our wedding we just kept beating ourselves up and saying “we could have done so much better” and “I wish we would have just made this or done that.” So we took a leap and here we are! We are determined to help other couples on a budget but still want quality! It’s our mission to help make every event we are involved in, Beautiful and Memorable.

AB Bloom went above and beyond for my flowers! They made the entire process so easy, and the final arrangements were absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on my bouquet and the flower arches — they were truly breathtaking. You can tell they put so much care and detail into their work. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend AB Bloom to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality florals!

Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Kansas City, MO
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I grew up in a divided home, literally. Splitting time between my parents after their divorce, often being in the middle of their fighting, made me grow into a very empathetic person. It’s become the biggest strength I take with me into wedding days. My documentary style stems from my ability to sense when special moments are about to happen. I am able to sense emotions that aren’t necessarily visible, sense when to come close and when to be a fly-on-the-wall, and sense what/who is important to you therefore important to photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Besides saying yes to my husband, Caitlyn was the best decision I made for our wedding. I truly have no complaints - Caitlyn is easy to work with and exudes joy. From the start, communication was prompt and friendly - I clearly had no idea what I was doing, and Caitlyn helped me figure out exactly what I wanted our big day to look like. Her prices were extremely reasonable, especially for the quality of product we got. Our engagement photos, wedding photos, and reception photos are all high-quality, while also capturing real moments of joy / not looking overly "posed", which was a big concern of mine as someone who is very awkward in front of a camera. Our wedding was very small, so part of me was nervous about having a photographer there - however, Caitlyn's personality and kindness put everyone at ease, she fit right in! I cannot recommend Caitlyn enough - she will provide incredible documentation of your event(s)!

I am so, so grateful we hired him for our day and will add photos to this review so you can see for yourself just how talented he is! Would recommend for couples in Kansas City and beyond!

I'm Molly- I love to celebrate love stories, and am a massive romantic at heart. Live wedding paintings aren't just a novelty, or a trend- they are an heirloom that you can pass down to family for generations. I love challenges, and that's a big part of why I love being a live wedding painter. Everything happens so fast! I can make a painting in 4 hours or less- from the ceremony though your reception. I have been an illustrator for 15 years, and I have my BFA in Painting from Memphis College of Art. Currently still have some openings for fall 2025, but booking up fast!

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Molly from Blush Bloom Studio in action, and I can’t recommend her enough! She painted a live watercolor of the couple’s wedding kiss at the reception, and it was incredible to witness. Her attention to detail, ability to color match, and the way she captured the emotion of the moment in such a delicate, artistic way left everyone in awe. Not only is she extremely talented, but Molly is also a true professional. Her communication was warm, kind, and genuine from start to finish. Watching her work in real time was such a unique and magical experience—and she completed the painting by the end of the reception! If you're looking for a meaningful and breathtaking keepsake for your wedding day, I can’t think of a more special way to capture the moment. Molly’s work is unforgettable!

I offer charming & delicate watercolor portraits of your loved ones live at your wedding, as well as romantic paintings of your venue to capture the setting of your day. I also offer post guest or venue paintings to send with your thank yous. With decades of experience as a fine artist, I capture personality, & subtle details in a gentle & charming style your guests will treasure. My painting table becomes a warm, interactive experience that honors every person I paint. I truly love creating something that makes people smile and feel special.

Having Angelique from The Painted Bouquet as our live guest painter was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially booked her for florals, but when she shared her Painted Guest service, it sounded so unique that we couldn’t resist and I’m so grateful we didn’t. Our guests who came from so far away were curious from the moment they walked in so we felt we were giving them a true gift. It became this beautiful, social moment but a keepsake as well The portraits themselves were stunning. Not rushed but sweet and well done! Each guest left with something meaningful. We even framed ours. If you want your guests to feel seen, cherished, and part of your party you need Angelique there. Our wedding felt fun, intimate, and deeply personal because of her. I can’t recommend her enough!!

We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!
