The Bella Bridal Beauty team was fabulous! I worked with them for my wedding hair and makeup and my bridal party's hair and makeup, and I am so happy with how everything turned out. The team was communicative, kind and talented and I would recommend them to any of my engaged friends getting married in the Chicagoland area.

I would highly recommend this group of girls to do your wedding hair and make up. We had Gabby and sienna And they were both unbelievably personable and awesome for our group of girls! I have a group of tomboy and Gabby killed it with helping us Iāll pick out the perfect makeup. And poor sienna dealt with having to fix a few of my girls hair a few times before she left, but she was awesome with her braids, especially! Sometimes it can be difficult to Come into a group of women and handle it professionally, but these girls came in and literally felt as one of us! Highly recommend them!

Bella Bridal Beauty was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Allie was responsive and professional. They have a website that makes it effective to communicate with them and to hold your ideas for hair and makeup. I had the pleasure of working with Gabiee, Casaundra, Melissa, Marie and Selina. I elected for Hair and Makeup for my rehearsal dinner and for my wedding day. For the wedding day my bridal party was also signed up for hair and makeup. Bella Bridal had me fill out a questionnaire and then established a timeline to ensure everyone was ready in time for our pick up by the limo. The stylist listened to our suggestions and ideas and for those that werenāt quite sure they made appropriate recommendations. I canāt stress enough how easy and wonderful it was to work with this team. They were punctual to the off site appointments and were all professional and patient. You cannot go wrong with this team.

I absolutely loved working with Bella Bridal! My friend recommended then as she has worked with them in the past for weddings (she's a photographer). I had the pleasure of getting Gabby & Danielle who were so much fun to hang out with. I felt like they were one of the girls! They did a great job on my entire bridal party's hair & makeup. They also work quickly & diligently, we pretty much stuck to the timeline almost on the dot! I love that they are willing to travel for their job. They got in the evening before the wedding, did my trial til like 10pm then came back at 6:30am for the big day. Talk about dedication! I also spoke with Allie Shannon a lot leading up to the wedding day about questions, adjustments & details. She is so helpful & the sweetest ever! I highly recommend Bella Bridal!!

Bella was fairly easy to work with. I loved the work that Amber & Cassandra provided for my bridal party. I did have to prompt them to schedule my trial as I had not heard from them as stated, but not a big deal. They were also willing to work with me to make sure I liked my look before my wedding

I am in the Chicagoland area and Alexis did my makeup and Pam did my hair. I think Pam contracts with Bella Bridal but she did INCREDIBLE. My hair was exactly what I wanted and she made excellent adjustments when I mentioned that I had some pain due to tightness later in the day after my trial. Alexis did great in the trial and I was happy with my makeup then but then on my wedding day the makeup was EVEN BETTER. I was soooo pleased with everything and my bridal party who had services done were happy too! My two minor complaints were that their communication can be a bit wonky because the email auto replies for every single email you send which gets a little annoying but I understand why they do that they probably get a lot of messages. And secondly they changed my makeup artist a week and half before the wedding which brought on some serious stress. Luckily Alexis was incredible and my makeup literally could not have been better but the last minute change was not ideal but they certainly delivered!

Bella Bridal Beauty was a phenomenal team to work with! There was open communication at every step of the way and my questions were answered so quickly! Marie (hair) and Stephanie (makeup) did an AMAZING job with all of our glam- we're not girls who typically get all made up so Marie and Stephanie did a great job explaining every step, answering our questions, and being patient with us. They arrived right on time and even finished ahead of schedule- giving us a much needed break before the "I do's"! I have already recommended Bella Bridal Beauty to so many of my friends and I can't recommend this team enough- they made me feel my most beautiful and confident self! Book with Bella Bridal Beauty!!

I had Gabiee, Renee and Danielle who were my bridal parties hair and makeup artists. I appreciated that they arrived 15 minutes early to make sure they were set up and ready to go on time since I had 12 people getting their hair done and 10 getting their makeup done. They were friendly, funny and made the morning of my wedding special! While the hair and makeup process did go over time by almost an hour, I felt that this was due to the dedicated time and effort put into making everyone look the way they wanted! They eased worries that were expressed in the moment and made everyone look the way they wanted. I absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup, and really appreciated that they double checked with me any changes I had wanted to make from my trial. I highly recommend them to any bride in the Illinois/Wisconsin area!

I cannot emphasize enough how Bella Bridal Hair and Makeup turned my wedding day dreams into reality. After a disappointing experience with another hair and makeup team, I walked into Bella Bridal feeling apprehensive and doubtful about how I would look on my special day. However, Sienna and Stephanie completely changed the game.
From the moment I stepped in for my trial, Sienna and Stephanie went above and beyond to understand my concerns and preferences. They took the time to carefully review the pictures from my previous trial, asking insightful questions about what I liked and didn't like. Initially, I had envisioned a low slicked-back bun and subtle peachy-pink makeup. But Sienna's expertise and creativity opened my eyes to new possibilities. She introduced me to the idea of a French twist, and it was love at first sight. Not only did she flawlessly execute the style during the trial, but she also worked her magic to ensure my notoriously stubborn hair held its shape and volume throughout the wedding day festivities, even surviving a plunge into the pool during the after-party!
Stephanie, on the other hand, listened attentively to my preferences regarding makeup. Instead of simply replicating a picture of makeup that I found pretty, she took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. The result? A stunning makeup look that showcased smooth, glowing skin, a perfectly sculpted contour, just the right amount of blush, and eye makeup that accentuated my natural features without veering into overly dramatic territory.
On the day of my wedding, thanks to Sienna, Jennifer and Stephanie's expertise, everyone looked absolutely impeccable. Bella Bridal Hair and Makeup exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If you're in search of a hair and makeup team that not only delivers exceptional results but also listens to your needs and preferences, look no further than Bella Bridal. Trust me, save yourself the hassle of endless searches and just choose themāyou won't regret it.

Gabiee, Sienna, and Renee worked their magic on myself (bride), 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms on our wedding day.
Communication was great throughout the whole process. Everyone was very professional. The hair and make-up trial were great, and Gabbiee even made my make-up a little different so that I could still rock the glam but didn't have to expose my wedding day look before it was time š
I am so thankful for their skills, expertise, fun, charisma, and overall awesomeness. They made us all feel beautiful through the process, and worked well together to ensure all the girls were glammed up on time.
These Bella girls were fantastic to work with, and really rocked the whole "wrangling 7 girls and 2 moms into absolute beauty queens before a wedding" thing š All while singing and dancing the day away with us. Everyone's curls stayed in place, and (as promised) the make-up stayed on through tears of laughter and sentiment.
Thank you for making our wedding day so special.

Ugh. It breaks my heart to have to write such a negative review, but here we are. I am SO disappointed and heartbroken with my experience. The day of my wedding, my makeup artist was about 20 minutes late, throwing things off from the start. I reminded the hair and makeup artist that we needed to leave at a specific time, and they should have been aware because their admin is the one that sent me the schedule. They recommend not putting specific girls in time slots, but I fully think that would have made the process more smooth. Hair and makeup went over time. Makeup went an extra HOUR AND A HALF longer than it should have. None of my girls received touch ups, as promised. My own mother and bridesmaids were late to the venue due to the makeup artist being so behind. My mom missed helping me put on my dress, I missed photo opportunities with my girls before we got dressed, etc. My plan was to get all of our family and bridal party photos out of the way before the ceremony so that we all could enjoy our cocktail hour. This couldnāt happen. I didnāt even receive an apology from the artist. During the makeup artist doing my makeup, she told me she actually no longer works for Bella bridal, but still wanted to do my wedding. I was notified that she was actually fired that week. Why would they send an artist that did not meet bell bridal beauty standards? After a few days of trying to get ahold of someone, I was finally able to reach the admin assistant, Allie, and explain to her what happened. I asked her to pass this information to the owner, because this is a serious issue that needed to be addressed. I still have not received a phone call or text or email from the owner. It was a disappointing experience all around.

Renee and her team are AMAZING! They all have such friendly personalities that puts you at ease from day one. Renee is effortlessly talented and Jazmin is pure magic. They not only made me look beautiful, but they made me feel beautiful. Which is something I wanted all my bridesmaids to experience and feel as well. I also have to mention how grateful I am for the level of professionalism they hold themselves to. We didnāt feel rushed, or overwhelmed in the least because of their thorough timeline, and dedication to keeping to perfect time. The communication from beginning to end was seamless and made me feel confident in their services and I knew they were going to provide a wonderful experience for my wedding day. A bonus-Renee and Jazmin are your ultimate hype women, they are both so fun, and full of positive energy, which is great to have on your wedding day while getting ready. I highly recommend Bella Bridal Beauty for your wedding!

Highly recommend Bella Bridal Beauty. The stylists came to our hotel room (downtown Chicago) the day of the wedding. They were on-time, friendly, and did a great job. Some of the girls needed minor changes to their hair & makeup after they were done, and they made the changes with no problem! From the first inquiry until the wedding day, Bella Bridal Beauty was great at communication and made all of us feel comfortable and confident!

Thank you Bella Bridal beauty for making my wedding day so special! Renee, Gabiee and Jessica did an amazing job on everyoneās hair and makeup. We had two brides, six brides maids and two moms that needed services done, the girls finished on time and everyone looked beautiful and not rushed. They are also so much fun, we were singing along to the playlist and chatting all morning. They felt like part of the gang not like typical snotty makeup artists. Everyone looked beautiful for the whole night not one eyelash or curl out of place even after tearing it up on the dance floor. I love these girls!

Bella Bridal did an excellent job with hair and makeup for our wedding. At the hair and make-up trial, Melissa and Shelby made sure to capture the exact look we desired. They were amazingly responsive with incorporating changes into our hair and make-up as we āworeā the styles throughout the day and determined what we wanted to tweak. On the wedding day, we had two separate teams at two locations working on hair and makeup simultaneously to create the most relaxed and efficient getting ready flow possible. Our artists arrived on time, prepared and helped everyone create the perfect look for them. The make-up and hair lasted the entire evening and everyone absolutely looked fantastic. A Big thank you too Bella Bridal, especially Melissa, Shelby, Sienna, and Stephanie.

Bella was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough good things about these women and this team. It started from day one that I realized how professional this team was with how well they communicated with me and provided me with all the answers to my hundreds of questions. At my trial I got to meet the amazing women who would be there on my big day and they listened to everything I wanted and made me feel so beautiful and glamorous while still feeling like myself. On wedding day they took the few things I wanted to be different and made me feel my absolute best on such a big day in my life. They also made all of my girls feel their best as well. Jenn was our hairstylist and she took everyone's photos and thoughts and made all of our hair look so great and it stayed great all day! Lucy was our makeup artist and she took all of our "natural" style desires and took it to a new level while making sure it'd last all night long. I cannot say enough how kind and wonderful these two were especially starting at 5am! They did an incredible job while also hyping us all up and making us all feel so amazing. I loved working with Bella and having them on my wedding day team. If you need (or just want) beauty done for yourself on wedding day or any other day for that matter I highly recommend Bella. They were also really affordable compared to a lot of other beauty vendors I spoke with because they did do both hair and makeup for my whole bridal party. Definitely contact Bella NOW!

Renee and her team are the absolute best and are so great at what they do! To anyone getting married in Arizona or Illinois, I HIGHLY recommend this team for all of your hair and makeup needs! I even have one of my bridesmaids now using them for her wedding after how impressed she was! :)

BOOK NOW! I had such a fantastic experience with Bella Bridal Beauty. Carly (makeup) & Jen (hair) were both amazing! I really could not believe the price and the quality that I got for my wedding day hair & makeup (along with my bridesmaids). I would be shocked if someone found a cheaper price for the same quality that Bella provides. In my search prior to the wedding, I found that other artists/stylists charged double for only one service (hair or makeup). You can have stunning hair and makeup without paying a completely ridiculous price!
Not only did our hair & makeup last ALL DAY, but Carly & Jen were so nice and easy to talk to! They added to the fun of getting ready.
Don't wait - book now!

When I think about Renee and Gabby, I think of ENERGY. The perfect match of positivity and brightness that EVERY bride needs on their wedding day. I didnāt feel rushed, or overwhelmed in the least because of this teams thorough timeline, and dedication to keeping to perfect time. These girls bring a lot to the table when it comes to passion, ingenuity, and style. I had to bring a lot of confidence to my friends and family who havenāt gotten their hair/makeup done professionally before, but it was easy.
Thank you for everything Renee & Gabby. You guys are fabulous, and I will always recommend Bella Bridal from here on out.

Bella Bridal Beauty was such a great recommendation! My husband's cousin used them as well and they are such a talented and fun team. I had Renee do my hair and it turned out beautiful!! I received so many compliments! Gabiee did amazing with my make-up as well as 8 bridesmaids. And Aliza did the hair for all of the bridesmaids plus a couple of girls for make-up. It was a lot of girls to get ready but they all stayed on time and everyone looked flawless. I appreciate the great communication from their admin Allie as well. We had to reschedule a trial in and she was very helpful with that! Highly recommend!

Renee and her team are some of the most talented and most FUN people you can possibly hire to make you look and feel like a beautiful bride on your wedding day. For my wedding, we had Renee doing hair and Gabiee doing makeup for me and 5 bridesmaids. They did such a fantastic job and everyone was so happy and impressed with their looks!
My makeup was exactly what I was looking for, and Gabiee did a great job getting my opinion on styles and color palettes throughout the trial, and took my post-trial notes for the wedding day to make sure it turned out perfect. The airbrushed foundation looked incredible and natural all day, and everything from lips, to contour, to eyeshadow and lashes held up until the very end of the night!
Renee is absolutely amazing at hair! I have a TON of hair, and itās long, so itās always a pain to try and keep it managed for a long day, but Renee had no issues making sure it stayed in place and looked beautiful until the end of the night. I honestly donāt know how she does it (lots of bobby pins probably haha), but I couldnāt have been happier with how it stayed up in my low bun and didnāt get messed up even when we put my veil in and out of the hairdo.
I canāt recommend Bella Bridal Beauty enough! On top of their talent, these girls show up with the most amazing energy and friendly vibes. They are such a fun presence to have with you as you get ready for your big day!

Bella Bridal was so fantastic from the very beginning and I could NOT be more pleased with their team! Through the initial process, they had very fast and clear communication and easy to access (and affordable) pricing. It was so easy to get my bridal make-up trial and 2 spray tans scheduled before the big day. I had the wonderful Liz to do my spray tans (1 trial and 1 for wedding day). She was so friendly and genuine and gave me all the tips for my spray first tan. For makeup, Amber did such a stunning job. She did such a amazing work at taking my inspiration and opinions and mixing it with her expertise to give me a great trial, and a makeup look of perfection for my wedding day, along with my 6 bridesmaids. We were all so surprised at how beautiful we looked, even after hours and hours of dancing. Can't recommend this team enough, they were so sweet and are all such talented people!

While the team was nice to work and chat with, I found myself having to direct a little bit to make sure my makeup looked and was applied right, which was something I wouldāve preferred to have completely out of my hands with someone I trust.
Unfortunately, despite warning that my hair doesnāt hold curl easily, my hair had already straightened by the time of the ceremony (so maybe an hour, hour and a half wear time?). I didnāt realize it at the time, but my hair wasnāt nearly as curly as I wanted it to be or fluffy even immediately after it was done. I really think it would have been wise to do my hair a little early and put them in rollers so the curls could really set before styling my hair.
Because my hair was straight, the braid in it had a hard time holding up. After a little bit of dancing, the braid of my half up look had mostly fallen apart and my hair accessories could barely hold on - I think I actually lost a couple because they just fell out of my hair at some point. It kinda makes me sad looking at all the photos that my hair looks pretty normal as opposed to something that should be exceptionally gorgeous for my wedding day.
As for the makeup, while itās assured that airbrush makeup is waterproof and sweat proof - itās not. About the time dancing started, so maybe 5 hours into wear time, I was sweating pretty badly from my forehead and went to go check and fix my makeup. My foundation completely melted off my forehead, and when I tried to blend out or fix with powder, you could see patches and streaks. When I saw the portraits taken before the wedding, I have splotchy foundation around my nose, almost like Iād put glasses on and taken them off and theyād left an imprint (except I hadnāt).
Overall while the people are nice and the company seems well managed, and I liked that they gave me schedule for the day of, I didnāt feel as pretty as I thought I would on my wedding day. I felt prettyā¦average. I feel like I could have done my own makeup with normal products (like no special airbrush stuff) and it wouldāve looked the same and possibly held up longer. I just feel really disappointed looking at my wedding photos and feeling like I was nothing special.

Renee and her team were the absolute best! They accommodated last minute add ons and a very large group of 17 and everyone was finished right on time. The airbrush makeup is so light and after crying during vows I expected to look in the mirror and see makeup running down my face and there was nothing it was all still just as perfect! Hands down the best company to work with stress free!

I had done my trials originally in September 2021, but when both my stylists left the company in December, Bella reached out to me immediately to let me know and booked me new trials ASAP. Gabiee and Jessica made my bridal party and I feel absolutely beautiful on the day of. Our hair and makeup stayed on flawlessly all day. Thank you, Bella!!

This review is long over due but better late than never! My wedding was October 2020. Of all of the vendors we had during our āCovid weddingā Bella Bridal Beauty was hands down the easiest and most accommodating to work with! I had five bridesmaids plus two sister in laws, my mom and my mother in law all getting hair and makeup. Not only did the Bella team show up early they brought the best energy with them! They were so fun to work with and kept me so calm throughout the morning. And best of all my girls all looked amazing and everyone LOVED their hair and makeup. Another great thing is Bella Bridal offers spray tans and it was the most natural spray tan Iāve ever gotten. Since my wedding, Iāve used Renee and her team for other events for both hair and makeup and have always been blown away with their talent. I cannot recommend them enough and look forward to having another excuse to have them glam me for the day!

Bella Bridal Beauty is the best wedding hair and makeup you could book! Not only were they super easy to work with, Ive never felt more beautiful in all my life. I booked them for my wedding and corresponded back and forth changing the amount of bridesmaids hair and makeup I would have them do until right up to the wedding day and they were very accommodating. Then on the wedding day my Mother in laws hair stylist never showed up so Renee kindly squeezed her in and did her hair too! And we were all done with plenty of time to spare. Renee and her team are professional, punctual, reliable, and the sweetest people you could have be a part of your wedding day! 10/10 could not recommend a better hair and makeup artist :)

I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS TEAM ENOUGH. Bella made it so easy for me to focus on what mattersā¦ feeling amazing on my wedding day. I got married 1/21/22 and loved my experience. I got a spray tan (highly recommend) and loved my make up and hair stylist. My MOH gave herself a black eye the night before the wedding (yay rehearsal dinners) and you canāt even tell in the pictures. Thank you so much Renee and team!!

Bella Bridal Beauty team was AMAZING! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and their team did all of our hair and make up for my best friends special day. They were so incredible to work with- a group of women who are truly passionate of their work! They took time to fully understand each girls request and ensured everyone loved how they looked prior to our time ending with them. I would recommend them to anyone who has the ability to hire them!

Bella bridal beauty was amazing with my girls and I for my wedding! We had 12 of us-which is a lot. All the girls were SO sweet. Renee, the owner, did my makeup and it was perfect. Not only did everyone love their hair and makeup, but the girls also hyped us up the whole time. We finished up and started taking pictures. Normally at this point they would pack up and head out (I knew they had other weddings to get too), but they stayed a little longer to take pics and help touch up before leaving . They made us all feel so comfortable š¤ I would definitely recommend to anyone needing hair and makeup done

Where to even start with Bella Bridal! I wish I could have these girls at all weddings. Talk about making the bride feel so special! I got married this weekend and was lucky enough to have Renee and Melissa be on my glam team up in Sedona for my big day. Not only did they make everyone look and feel SO fabulous, but they are SO much fun and made the day go by so smooth! I had A LOT of services that needed to be done, and being a nightshift nurse, mornings are NOT my strong suit. They worked with me and my requested timeline, AND even helped touch up some of the girls who went earlier in the day. They took everything I wanted to change from my trial and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I just can't say enough good things about Bella Bridal.

We had the best experience with Renee and Gabbie! I was in three weddings this summer and the best makeup and hair and overall vibe was with these girls š They were so fun and accommodating to our every single need! I would have gladly paid them twice the amount for the service and personalization we received. Everything about these girls was exactly what we needed!

Bella Bridal Beauty did the makeup at a wedding where I was the MOH and it was AMAZING! The MUA did such a great job and she was so personable, it was so fun having her do my makeup. It's always so hard for me to get my foundation to stay in place for longer than a couple hours so I was worried it would wear off but the airbrush foundation STAYED ALL NIGHT. My makeup looked just as good at the end of the night as it did for the ceremony which is a difficult feat with my skin. My hair stayed too, even with lots of dancing! Overall, I had an amazing experience and felt so beautiful. I will definitely be using Bella Bridal Beauty when I get married!

Bella Bridal did my wedding makeup and did a fantastic job!! Liz showed up on time and made me and all my girls look and feel absolutely gorgeous! I really like the airbrush style makeup, which also was great on my mom who has allergies to certain makeups and was feeling good all evening.

Love Bella Bridal! I was a bride that put off my trial a little bit too long (oops) but they were super accommodating and were able to get me in. Gabbie and Sienna were both great for me and my wedding party. They gave me exactly what I wanted. I even had a bridesmaid say her hair and makeup was done better than her own wedding day. Thank you for making my hair and makeup absolutely perfect for my wedding day. Also, would recommend the spray tan 100%. So well done.

I used Renee and Bella Bridal Beauty for my wedding 1/27/2018. Renee was professional, organized and had great communication skills. My hair and makeup was exactly what I asked for. Renee and her team were upbeat and calm making the entire experience awesome for a bride with an out of control wedding party! I recommend Renee to everyone I know.

I just have to say, Bella Bridal is absolutely AMAZING!
The owner is so sweet, friendly, encouraging, and knows her stuff. And you can tell she loves her work and her brides.
What really stood out to me was how much Renee and all the other gals cared about each girl on my bridal party. For example, on the day of my wedding my maid of honor was having a really hard time with her hair. When I shared this with the owner she had no hesitation in making my maid of honor feel special. She satyr down in the chair and asked her just how she would like her hair done and made her feel so taken care of. So much so that my maid of honor broke down in tears! This meant SO much to her! All my girls and myself included so taken care of and beautiful. Thank you so much Bella Bridal! <3
10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect makeup team for you big day.

Iām so happy I chose to book with Bella Bridal Beauty! All my interactions with them went smoothly, and they were very professional at every step. We had to add an additional stylist shortly before the wedding, due to limits from our venue, and despite spring 2022 being one of the craziest times ever for weddings AND the Bella team also being busy with their Glam Studio grand opening the same day as my wedding, they were able to add another stylist and accommodate our time limits.
My entire bridal party, my mom, my mother in law, and myself all got our hair and makeup done by their team, and everyone was very happy with their service. One of my bridesmaids was speechless staring in the mirror afterwards because she loved her hair and makeup so much.
Renee did an amazing job with my hair and makeup! It lasted wonderfully throughout the whole day. Renee is so upbeat and her energy is perfect for getting ready on your wedding day :)
I also got a tattoo coverup done, and they did an amazing job! My tattoo is on my wrist, and no amount of hand washing got anywhere close to taking it off. It was actually pretty difficult to get the coverup makeup off when I wanted to, but hey, thatās what I wanted!
I highly recommend future brides book with Bella Bridal Beauty. You couldnāt be in better hands than with them :)

Bella Bridal is a must have for your special day!

Bella Bridal was one of my favorite vendors I booked for my wedding! Melissa and Renee did my trial and spent time tweaking both my hair and my makeup to be exactly what I wanted for the big day. On the day of the wedding, they showed up on time, and kept everything running smoothly and on time. They were so much fun, and took the extra time at the end to take pictures of us before we left for the venue. My hair and makeup held all night, never needing a touch up so their products are great quality!
Renee and her team will go above and beyond for your big day.

I hired Bella Bridal Beauty from an ISO post on Facebook. They were so amazing! The morning of my wedding one of my stylists got sick on her way to our venue but Renee text me ASAP and made it all work! I was worried about timing but Renee and her crew kicked but and and it all happen with time to spare! I felt so beautiful and my girls all looked stunning!
Thank you Bella Bridal Beauty for getting us wedding ready!

Bella was incredible from brooking all the way to wedding day! They were responsive, attentive, and very accommodating. I was very happy with both my stylists as they were incredibly talented and professional, everyone in the bridal party loved their look. I even changed my hair style last minute and they executed it flawlessly. Getting ready was so fun and stress free with Bella. I would definitely consider Bella for your wedding day!

Bella Bridal was great up until the day of my wedding. Some of the stylists were late, which I didnāt really care about as long as we were all done on time. But they sent one newly trained stylist and 2 experienced stylists. Loved the two trained stylist the girls enjoyed talking and I loved who did my bridal makeup. But the newly trained st
