Bella Beauty was so easy to work with leading up to and on our wedding day and truly stress-free. The hair and makeup artists did a perfect job with the 10 women in my bridal party...
, and everyone looked beautiful. I loved working with Kennedy, my lead artist. I can’t recommend Bella Beauty enough!
I booked Bella Wedding Beauty for hair and makeup for my wedding. In total, we had 11 people getting either both hair and makeup or just hair. My lead artist was Ashlee, and she wa...
s absolutely amazing. My hair and makeup turned out perfect, and she was so patient during my trial, making sure every detail was just right. She incorporated my special hairpiece beautifully. I received so many compliments on both my trial day and my wedding day.
One of my favorite moments was when Ashlee stayed after finishing my hair and makeup because I wanted my hairpiece included in my flat lay detail shots. She waited until the photographer was done and then completed my hair. This was such a thoughtful touch that meant so much to me.
Another thing that set Bella Wedding Beauty apart was the start time. Even with 8 adults and 3 children, our getting ready process started at 10:00 a.m. and finished by 2:00 p.m., which was exactly what I wanted. It gave us a relaxed, easygoing morning and kept the day stress-free.
The reason I’m giving Bella Wedding Beauty 4 stars instead of 5 is due to scheduling issues in the lead-up to the wedding. There were several mistakes and miscommunications with the final schedule, which led to multiple rounds of back-and-forth. That said, they were always quick to respond and fix the issues.
Even with that hiccup, and a few parking challenges (venue-related, not the artists’ fault), the team was amazing on the day of the wedding. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and grateful for their talent and professionalism.
Everything about my hair and makeup was top-notch! These ladies are amazing! From my trial to the big day, I felt like a true rockstar! Kennedy was the artist with whom I had the p...
leasure of booking! She listened to what I dreamed of looking like and gave me honest opinions and blew my idea out of the water and made me look even better than I could've hoped! She was even able to accommodate a scheduling issue we had less than 15 days from my wedding! 1000000/10
Words can’t even begin to express how beautiful I felt on my wedding day because of Kennedy’s master work. My makeup and hair were PERFECT. I am still swooning over my formal ponyt...
ail - it was beautiful, and Kennedy is truly an artist. My makeup stayed all night, and even when I was sweating (nearly the entire night), I was told that my makeup still looked perfect. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law looked gorgeous as well, showing the talent of all the Bella professionals who were there (Avery, Kennedy, and Ashley). We had a quick getting ready time (3 hours), and all of us were able to be beautified in that time frame, showing how quickly and masterfully Bella artists can work. Kennedy even gave me little pieces of advice during my hair and makeup with her, which helped to calm me down before the beautiful chaos of the day. I cannot recommend Bella Wedding Beauty enough if you’re in the Northern IL area looking for wedding artists. I’ll be looking at my hair and makeup in my photos forever!! 😍🤍
The Bridal Bella team was amazing!! They were very easy to work with, had great communication, and were very friendly! I had Kennedy, Shannon, and Ashlee help do hair and makeup fo...

y bridal look, I had Katlin, who my friend had used for her wedding and she was amazing! Her bubbly personality makes you feel comfortable and able to share feedback. I am not a huge makeup girl, so her light, natural look went perfect with my vibes. She nailed it and I could not have asked for anything more!
Ashlee was my lead hair and makeup artist and she was amazing! She absolutely nailed the look I was going for at both the preview and on my wedding day! I loved how many questions ...
they asked me before my preview to get a feel for my style, personality, and look I was wanting to achieve. You can really tell that they care about achieving the look that you want and that extra effort goes a long way. I got so many compliments and my hair and makeup stayed great even into the night. Katlin and Amy were also amazing and did an awesome job on my bridesmaids, flower girl, and mom’s hair. They came prepared and on time and helped keep the getting ready time fun and positive. I could not recommend them enough. They were great!
These women know what they are doing they are very professional and give the advice and tips to help you get the bridal look you are wanting to help make your wedding day the day y...
ou dreamed of! Highly recommend using them for your big day!

ed. They were disorganized and rude to one of my bridesmaids. My hair had fallen and makeup was completely gone by the end of the ceremony. Based on my experience with makeup teams at other weddings, there are better options out there. Please do your research.

keup for myself and my girls for my wedding on 7/30/22! We had a group of 11 girls – 11 got hair, 6 got makeup, and 1 set of lashes. They started right at 8, and were done by 11:30, and everyone looked fantastic! I’ve worked with Amy, Ashlee, Kennedy and Katlin, but after Katlin did my makeup perfectly as a bridesmaid last October, I knew I wanted her as my lead artist for the big day. After the trial, there were some tweaks that we needed to make (I have long, thick, hair that everyone underestimates) but she took that feedback in stride and my wedding day look was exactly what I was hoping for. Big braid, romantic feel, and all up (for a hot summer day) was just what I wanted. Makeup was subtle glam – browns, and natural tones, and my preferred natural lip color is more of a coral/orange-pink, and Katlin nailed it. Everything was great, and although I had to run out of the ‘get ready’ area as soon as we were done and didn’t get to properly thank them, I want them to know that I appreciated everything they did, down to the good conversation and ‘girl time’ while we were all getting ready. It all came together to make my day perfect, and I can’t thank them enough.
I had Ashlee for my hair and makeup for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier! I got so many compliments on my look, it made me feel so confident for my big day! I wish I cou...
ld attach pictures so everyone can see the amazing work she did. Not to mention, Ashlee came in special on a Sunday to do my preview/trail run so I could wear my look for my bridal shower. These ladies go above and beyond to make you feel special and perfect for your day! They truly take the time to make sure you are paired with the best stylist for you and your style. I cannot say enough great things about Bella Bridal!!
They were professional, communicated well, responded to emails and messages in a timely matter. Did an amazing job for my wedding. I highly recommend them!

e to COVID-19, we had to postpone and reschedule a couple times and Bella Bridal was so accommodating and helpful through the whole process. We had a private ceremony in Oct 2020 and I regret not booking Bella Bridal for that. We had our big reception in June 2020 and honestly, I never felt better about my hair and makeup. Amy did 2 trials for me, once for my engagement photos, and then again for a real bridal trial. I also got a spray tan and felt so beautiful on our reception day. I can't thank Amy and her team enough for being so awesome! Highly recommend for any wedding or event!
Amy came to us for the wedding services. She did an amazing job and everyone looked gorgeous.

r a ton of makeup or heavy eye makeup and she took that into consideration. Both my hair and makeup look great in photos from 2pm-11pm! Some of my bridesmaids weren't as please with their hair and makeup that was done by other stylists but Amy did everything she could to make sure everyone was happy.
Bella Bridal was fantastic! I knew I wanted to have hair and makeup come to my parents' house, and it's difficult to find a company that does both (and does both well). The pricing...
was very reasonable and they had 5 artists come to do myself, my 9 bridesmaids, my mom and the MOG. They worked with and listened to each girl to provide a style they wanted (making changes as needed), and I think everyone ended up extremely happy with their hair and makeup! I was so so happy with mine. My package included a spray tan that I had done two days before, and I had a lot of compliments about how great and natural it looked. Would definitely recommend Bella Bridal for your on-site hair and makeup needs!
Amy and her girls work wonders!
They joined us early in the moring for my september wedding. i Unfortunitly did not have a trail run befor the big day but i trusted amy's skills. ...
