Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.

Hi Gorgeous! First and foremost, congratulations on your engagement and thank you for considering us for your wedding day! Glam by Shadelin is a bridal hair and makeup service based out of Connecticut, USA, servicing the New England area and beyond. (ps. we LOVE destination weddings!)

Working with GLAM by Shadelin as a bridesmaid was such a great experience from start to finish. Shadelin and Elif are incredibly down to earth and made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions without any hassle. They also were so easy to work with and really accommodating. They were able to do an early start time of 5am to get us ready by 8am. We were so happy they were available to take us on since it was a last minute request by wedding standard time. Their skill really showed through; my hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day, which is no small feat for a desi-wedding. I actually preferred my glam done by Shadelin and Elif compared to what I'd done for my own wedding a couple years ago. If you're looking for beauty professionals who genuinely know their craft and treat you like you matter, I'd absolutely recommend GLAM by Shadelin.

As a wedding hairstylist, I've worked with Hilary for years as my recommended makeup artist. She always runs on time, laughs with you the whole day & has phenomenal talent.

So, you need a makeup artist? You've come to the right place. Makeup has always been a passion in my life. I started dancing at three years old and with a mother whose makeup routine is a tinted lip balm and blush as a foundation -- let's just say we learned together over the years or rather, once I learned she just let me take over. I was confidently the only seven-year-old in my class getting myself ready for my recitals. From then on I was hooked, I mean makeup was an activity that encouraged the use of glitter... need I say anymore?

We hired Laura and her team for a large Indian wedding last July and they were wonderful. Beautiful work, and flexible as the timeline changed unexpectedly. We appreciate them!!

With over 22 years experience in the beauty industry, make up is a huge passion of mine. I am a certified and licensed esthetician, makeup artist and nail tech. I thoroughly enjoy the excitement of working for bridal parties and love the final result of seeing make up bring out people's inner and outer beauty. Keeping up with the times I use airbrushing for a flawless high def finish. Airbrushing your makeup base can give you anything from a natural super sheer gleam to a full coverage look so it's very versatile and stays all night long. I do recommend a trial for all brides before the big day so we can be totally at ease the day of!
