Awarded Best of Zola
We met with Evan in person to discuss our wedding, our relationship, and the vision we had for our special day. From the moment we sat down with him, we felt an immediate connection—it was as if we had known him for years. Evan created a beautiful, personalized ceremony that perfectly captured who we are as a couple. He was flexible and accommodating when impending rain forced us to consider a venue change, and throughout the entire process, he made us feel truly valued and cared for. The ceremony itself was the perfect balance of fun, lighthearted moments and heartfelt sincerity. He had us and our guests laughing one moment and tearing up the next. The service was so meaningful and memorable that several guests asked where we had found such an incredible officiant. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Evan. It takes a rare talent to capture the essence of a relationship after just a brief face-to-face meeting, but he truly has that gift. He played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect, and we wholeheartedly recommend him.

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on.

With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

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

From the moment we booked In Bloom for our engagement party florals, Shelly and her team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always prompt, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful - I never had to worry about a thing as Shelly took care of everything for me without any stress. The florals they created for our event were absolutely beautiful, high quality, and truly stunning. Their work was so impressive that we can't wait to have Shelly and In Bloom do all of our wedding florals in 2025! We're thrilled with the service and value they provided, and highly recommend them to any couple planning a special event.
