About The Velvet Hour, LLC
The Velvet Hour, LLC
Born from a love of beauty that feels intentional and deeply personal. Your bridal look is tailored to your story. If you’re drawn to beauty that feels intentional + cinematic BOUDOIR photography (YES! we offer that as well) The Velvet Hour was created for you.
We believe bridal makeup is about making you feel like the most confident, radiant version of yourself as you step into one of the biggest days of your life. After more than 16 years in luxury beauty, including my time as a CHANEL artist, I've learned that the most unforgettable makeup doesn't transform who you are, it enhances what already makes you beautiful. When you sit in my chair, you're not just another appointment. You're cared for, celebrated, and guided through a relaxed and personalized experience. It would be an honor to be part of your wedding day. 📍Serving brides throughout Maryland & South Central Pennsylvania.

Talented and Fun MUA!
We absolutely loved working with Chelsea and her team for our wedding! We had a large bridal party and she was very accommodating and got everything done ahead of schedule. Everyone’s makeup stayed on super well, even with the pouring rain! Chelsea wasn’t just talented and communicative though, she was also such a fun vibe for the morning of the wedding! We highly recommend her for any event!
