Blushing Brides

of the company made my life so much easier! They were so accommodating to changes that I made even the week before the wedding.

he felt like family after just two mornings together. Thank you for a fabulous experience!

I then had a conference call with Lauren to learn more about Blushing Brides and what they offered. From the get go I felt taken care of and was in the best of hands. My trial with Lauren was amazing. She is so kind and sweet and completely put me at ease. On my wedding day Lauren was accompanied by Nicole. They were a great team and my bridal party loved them. Nicole was so patient with my three nieces doing their hair and makeup. Lauren and Nicole are both talented stylists but what I also appreciated was their ability to read the people around them. Wedding days are stressful and the two of them knew how to be present when needed but also fade into the background when the stress level was peaking. Thank you so much Meghan, Lauren and Nicole - you ladies are incredible! I would highly recommend Blushing Brides to any bride.

d ready to go at almost 7am! The artists were detailed oriented and listened to what you asked. Overall GREAT experience and could not recommend them enough!

! I would recommend them everytime!

incredibly stressful and even though they have rave reviewed and did show up on my wedding day, the past few months with them have been very challenging. I would not recommend them.

All of my bridesmaids loved working with her as well and were so happy with their looks! Lauren was efficient, pleasant to chat to during the whole morning getting ready, and was very talented at working with a variety of hair types and skin tones. I was personally so happy with my hair and makeup. Lauren was so helpful with tips on how to keep my makeup staying put and not getting sunburnt on a really hot day. I felt so glamorous but still like myself which is exactly what I wanted. I’d highly recommend Blushing Brides!

rall positive experience with the hair/makeup trial (with Paige; a "team" member) in Worcester, although there was a bit of a miscommunication about the false eyelashes and we both had to drive at least 1 hr to get there. They also totally forgot to reach back out to me to schedule the trial, so it was a good thing I remembered and followed-up with them! Unfortunately the same artist who did my trial was not able to do my hair and makeup the day of my wedding due to have COVID so they sent a different artist (totally understandable). However, apparently no one had sent this new artist the photos from my trial which I wasn't aware of and she never asked me to confirm the look beforehand. I liked the hair overall although even that was styled a bit differently from the trial. But the makeup felt way too heavy and formal for my afternoon, backyard wedding and I was really disappointed. The eyeshadow and contouring was much heavier than the look from the trial which my partner and I had both loved. To her credit, she offered to fix it and did take a little off the eyes, but I didn't want her to have to start all over after doing the airbrushing and also had had to get ready and didn't want to delay the rest of my party. I also found the number and length of emails from the coordinators to be excessive and overwhelming. Their prices seemed to be a bit steep including a warning that if a member of the wedding party doesn't dry their hair fully they may be charged upwards of $85 to blow dry it. Luckily, this wasn't an issue because I am very detail oriented and shared all that information with my wedding party ahead of time but it felt like a total racket. And while the makeup artists I worked with were professional and covid-cautious, neither were particularly warm. Lastly, I found that much of the language in the paperwork and emails to be highly gendered and overly "cutesy" (e.g., everything ended with an exclamation point and smiley face). I get that we're expected to be "blushing brides" and this is part of good customer service, but it came across as very fake, especially when sandwiched between really specific instructions and reminders about gratuity, prices, etc. I think it's possible to be courteous and friendly while still conveying this information in a direct and streamlined way. If you choose to go with BB, I would recommend reading the paperwork very carefully and being assertive with your hair/makeup artists both during the trial and on your wedding day. I give the artists credit because they have a tough job especially during a pandemic, but if I could do it again, I would have been much more assertive and/or gone with a different company.

ct and paid in full promptly after our trial even though covid was an ongoing issue (they assured us rescheduling would not be an issue and would be free.) Due to covid we had to reschedule and we were charged an exorbitant fee ($300.) The amount of email correspondence this company expects of the bride/bridal party is not worth the aggravation on your special day. I did not appreciate the constant reminders of “suggested gratuity” and the amount either - I found that distasteful. My artist was very accommodating and did a wonderful job; however she forgot to do my lip color and I was the bride. My husband was upset. I paid extra for a “senior artist”.

erything I had to say. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, got along with everyone, and everyone's hair turned out great!

for, made me feel like an absolute PRINCESS at the trial and on the wedding day, and became best friends with each of my bridesmaids! I truly cannot express how much better Lauren made my wedding morning with her joyful energy and amazing talent. I have never felt more beautiful and confident than in Lauren's hands and I sincerely hope my friends use her for their weddings so I can see her again! Our other artist was also a delight, and the admin contact for Blushing Brides was responsive and helpful, making the whole process seamless. I would 100% choose to work with Blushing Brides and Lauren again - and I hope you choose them too!

and did a fantastic job for my wedding. I had a few weeks to organize my hair and makeup, and they worked with me knowing that I live out of state. That was why my hair and makeup were how I wanted them to be on my wedding day. I did not read the details of the forms sent stating that there is additional money for blow drying my hair and some other elements that added to the expenses, but if you read what they sent you, it should not be any surprises. Overall, I had a great experience, and I recommend them to the brides in the area!

s a last minute request. My hair and makeup were perfection and I got many compliments!

on. I was apprehensive about not having a trial because I was flying in from Florida, but they assured me it would be fine. I sent many pictures ahead of time and believed them when they said my stylist would be prepared. On the day though, she arrived without any prior knowledge of what my hair or make-up was to look like. I was very disappointed about that but she did a great job on the bridal party's hair so I was hopeful. Unfortunately, when it came to my turn it went down hill fast. She was making noises of frustration while trying to do my hair, saying it was being difficult. I stopped her and tried to pivot and get her to do my makeup instead to change the energy. My lashes turned out great, but the colors for shadow and such were not what I was looking for exactly. In the end I was an hour late for the wedding, I had to just wear my hair down with veil to cover up the back- which was an hair spray disaster! I did my own lips, eyeliner and mascara. Got to my wedding a shaking teary mess because of the stress! Definitely get a trial if you hire them! I expected the company to reach out and at least apologize, but I got nothing. I contacted Blushing Brides myself when I got home and let them know what happened. Because they make you prepay everything, I had ordered a lipgloss for touch up that I never received. I asked for this money back, just $25. The owner asked if I would get on the phone with a rep for her. She assured me they would refund the lipgloss. It is now Jan. I have never had an apology or a refund check for the lipgloss. What a customer service let down! Beware- these guys are all about it on the front end, didn't care at all after the fact.

e I spoke to made me feel comfortably. They even accommodated adding more people to my day of planned services when other challenges arouse in the planning process. Our hair and makeup was beautiful and everyone had a great day of experience! I can't say enough great things about this team.

me in a short time (less than a month). Meghan has been great for coordinating and giving clear details about the process. She has responded quickly whenever I have questions. The senior make up artist and hair artist that helped me are Elizabeth and Paige. I had a great trial with them and they also gave useful tips. I am happy that Elizabeth listen to me when I describe the makeup I want. Paige is very patient when my guest request slight change. Both of them have greet technical skills. They also arrive early that day. This really help to keep my wedding on schedule. My guests and I are very happy with their work. I feel so beautiful that day. Kudos to not only the artists, but also Meghan and Laura for a smooth and fast coordination! I will highly recommend to reach out to them for service.

nding them wholeheartedly. However, I cannot in good faith recommend blushing brides to anyone. Working with management at BB caused an inordinate amount of strife in my wedding planning process. The process to book them in the first place took over 90 emails back and forth, and often management would take weeks to respond. After requesting and confirming that I would receive two vaccinated artists, management went back and forth waiting until we were less than a week out from the wedding to finally confirm that there would be two artists who were vaccinated. Management was so disorganized that in spite of my reaching out to confirm details many weeks in advance, they were sending me updated contracts the day before the wedding, during the rehearsal dinner. Finally, BB overcharged me by $300 because they forgot that they had charged my retainer/deposit. While this was ultimately resolved, it took over a month and many follow up emails to receive a refund. After all of this, I cannot recommend blushing brides. They were by far the most stressful part of my wedding planning experience. If you can book Nicole outside of blushing brides, I would recommend it.

c mode and immediately thought everything was ruin. Luckily, I have a friend who works in the bridal industry and reached out to her. She was like don’t panic, call Blushing Brides they are fantastic and have a large team and may have availability. Wouldn’t you know, they had my wedding date wide open, like it was a sign from the heavens. They set me up with everything I needed, kept in constant contact with me every week following up to my wedding and reassured me everything was going to be great! Elizabeth was our makeup artist and she was awesome, super friendly and down to earth. She made everyone look and feel great that day, especially my mother who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup. In the end I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Thanks again Blushing Brides for everything you did for me!

ed to wearing makeup at all so she really found the balance for me that I was still comfortable wearing it. I also have very thick long hair and she was able to stick it all in a bun. My mom was also very happy with her hair and makeup as well. I got my nails done by Elizabeth and they turned out very pretty. Overall, I was very happy with the experience!

were patient even though I was very "specific" about what I was looking for, and her and McKenzie went above and beyond to make sure everyone was done on time. Also, our hair and makeup stayed entirely intact throughout the day/night. I would highly recommend this team!

o what members of the wedding party wanted, as well as make suggestions. They were also punctual and answered all emails promptly.

to work with. They are well organized and willing to work with you. I had to change my wedding date multiple times due to COVID, and they were right there telling me no problem we’ll book you for that day. My trial went smoothly and had no trouble with them. I had all my bridesmaids pick out pictures of the hair due they wanted for the day. The hair stylist slayed each hair due to their liking. Lauren did an amazing job with makeup as the theme of it was natural looking. I absolutely loved the airbrush makeup. I was honestly a little skeptical about it because I thought I was going to look like a cake face (I don’t wear a lot of makeup). Lauren told me to trust her and so I did. I was in love with the results. This team is amazing and really works with you to give you a stress free time. You’d be crazy if you didn’t hire them.

nd is always on top of timelines. I had to initially postpone my wedding due to COVID and they were very accommodating and a pleasure to work with throughout the very stressful time. Nicole was the senior artist that I worked with and is super talented, as are Amy and Kayla, who worked with my 11 bridesmaids. The day-of, the team was prompt (they traveled to Vermont for the wedding) and had everything prepared so that the schedule ran smoothly. I definitely highly recommend!

hey have a hub in Stowe. I had hair and makeup done for myself, 5 bridesmaids, and 2 moms and they developed a schedule for the day. They asked for inspo pics when I scheduled my trial, so I felt like I was getting an artist who specialized in my style - which I believe I did in McKenzie! The only issue I had with the trial is that my hair and makeup went over the allotted time, which resulted in a charge (which they warned of in advance), but I don't feel like it was my fault. My makeup was only done once and I only tried one hair style. I don't see how I could have avoided going over, but it was okay because I was happy with my artist. I was happy about this because I was having a great deal of trouble finding artists in VT that did the "natural glam" look I was looking for who were still available. They gave a lot of communications leading up to the wedding and explained thing in detail, which is helpful-if anything there was over-detailed, which you can't complain about. Although sometimes, I would get emails for things I had already done, which made me nervous that things would get missed. On the day of the wedding we had three artists. Sam came first and did all the hair, plus makeup for a couple bridesmaids. She was awesome, gave great ideas and feedback, and delivered gorgeous work. I would recommend her a thousand times over. She was even done a full 40 minutes early on the hair and then was able to finish the makeup early enough add another girl who decided she wanted to get her's done too. All her work was beautiful. And when touchups came, she helped the girls improve things they changed their minds on, with ease. In the afternoon, Elizabeth and McKenzie came from another wedding to finish the bridesmaids along with Sam and to do my hair and makeup. All the work was gorgeous, everyone looked beautiful and natural and the makeup lasted the entire night. The "individual" lashes they use are amazingly comfortable - they don't get heavy like the strips can. I personally felt like my makeup was flawless. McKenzie spent a lot of time on it and it absolutely showed. My hair started out perfect, but it was falling out of the pins that were supposed to hold it over my shoulder before the artists even left the venue and the curls didn't even last through pictures. This is something I was worried about happening because my hair doesn't hold a curl very well and I mentioned this quite a few times - but it did look natural, so I suppose that is the tradeoff. I would just advise brides to say you want to be ready half hour earlier than you need to be ready. It was after “ready time” by the time she started working on my hair. This was the most stressed I was during my entire wedding day, seeing the minutes tick by and realizing I was losing precious time I had scheduled for pictures. However, in the end, my makeup was flawless. It lasted the entire night and I never had to worry about it once, which is definitely worth it.

uren was there and helped us navigate 3 dates, and 3 venues!!!!! The day of, we even were AHEAD of schedule we had time to relax a little and it wasn't rush rush rush! My hair also did NOT move from 11 AM- PM. Thank you Blushing Brides for making it easy!

pandemic rescheduling. Deducted stars due to customer experience with Meghan, bridal coordinator. Giving benefit of the doubt that they are short staffed, but didn’t receive finalized contact until 6:51 pm the night before my wedding, although was told I had received 4 days prior (reviewed emails and this was not accurate). When I reviewed final contract (on next business day- aka my wedding day) I had questions about a charge, but since it was day of - no changes could be made. Poor handling of the situation all around that could have been easily avoided through more organized and timely actions, since all details impacting the final contract had been shared with Meghan 2 weeks prior to wedding day.

sure to work with both of them. I commend them for starting at 5:45am and working twice as hard to make up for a 3rd artist that was unable to make it last minute. In terms of the management and planning beforehand, at first I was very impressed with the communication and organization of Blushing Brides. Meghan, Laura and their team were very responsive and communicative about the hair/make up trial as well as getting organized for the wedding day. However, within the month before my wedding I grew frustrated with the lack of communication regarding my final contract, schedule for the day and balance due. Granted, I understand life happens and members of Blushing Brides had completely legitimate reasons for being unresponsive at this time, but I don't think the back up plan was thought through. After many emails and phone calls with limited response and incorrect updates to my contract everything wasn't finalized until the day before my wedding which was stress I didn't need.

with. Amazing final products!! The price was quite a bit (only reason for 4 stars), as is the theme within the Boston area. They gave a lot of communication through emails which was nice but sometimes it was a lot of information. Always pleasant and polite, though! I would recommend working with them.

In addition to making us all look gorgeous, Carrie and Elizabeth were both really wonderful working with the family. Carrie was especially sweet to my stepdaughter, a young adult with special needs - she helped her choose a hairstyle she loved, encouraged her chattiness, and even ended up helping her into her dress. Both artists were responsive to all of our wishes, and gave us coordinated but individualized looks that we loved.

Everything was so easy and straightforward, and I loved Nicole, my hair and makeup artist. Thank you for making my day special and memorable!

uldn’t of asked for better hair and makeup artists. Thank you again Nicole!!

the wedding postponements!, and we had the best day working with Nicole. All communication with the staff, my experience with my trial, were super professional and organized leading up to the day and on the actual day Nicole made my mother, sister, and I feel like princesses and kept us cool and collected during a frantic morning. I absolutely loved my makeup and never felt more beautiful. Hire them, you will not be sorry!!

ot a lot of compliments. I would definitely hire Jerri again for any future glam needs!

ged my hair between the trial and the wedding day, but she was amazing and it was perfect. We brought Sarah in to help as we had a good number of hair and makeup services and they were such a blast to get ready with. It really added the day and helped ease my nerves. They were really fabulous!

r, and she traveled out to Nantucket for the event. Not only was she incredibly talented, but she blended seamlessly with my bridal party and it was so fun having her with us while we all got ready! So grateful that Nicole did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She took my inspiration pictures and made them a reality!

he way. My hair and makeup artist listened to what I wanted for my look and adjusted her plans to make sure I was happy with it. I felt supported throughout the process. I was initially nervous about how my hair and makeup would look on my wedding day, as someone with little to no experience doing either! It was a big weight off my shoulders when following my trial and correspondences with Blushing Brides I felt truly confident in how hair and makeup would come out for me, my family, and wedding party on our wedding day.

s which was a massive help as I didn't work with a wedding planner! My stylist Meghan was amazingly flexible, accessible, and very helpful while I worked out the hairstyle I wanted. She was on-time for our session, and was able to do a lot of girls' hairs (and two makeup applications) all within a tight schedule. Her great positive attitude and friendly demeanor also were fantastic for the morning, it felt like a friend was in the room doing our hair! I loved my hair!

at my parents' home just a few days before my wedding. My mother never wears make up so I decided to do a trial for both her and myself. Nikki gave perfect recommendations and she took the time to explain everything she was doing so my mother would feel comfortable. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful the day of the wedding and Nikki did such a great job giving everyone a little extra glam without making anyone feel like their face was covered in makeup. My mother and both of my mother-in-laws were also extremely happy with how their simple makeup turned out. I would absolutely recommend Blushing Brides because they made the entire planning process really stress free. Most importantly, I can't say enough nice things about Nikki and would 100% recommend her as an artist. She has such a sweet and relaxed personality which was just an added bonus on top of her skills as an artist and helped keep the wedding day very stress free. Whether you want full faced glam or a simple look, Nikki will do an AMAZING job!

was beyond pleased with how well Blushing Brides helped me feel at ease, down to the tiniest details. Meghan is super organized and her emails were very helpful. She is patient and warm, and it really felt like they were all so happy to be a part of my special day; there was such a personal side of each interaction that also helped me to remember to take some joy in the planning process. All servicing and pricing was clear, including gratuity, and I did not have to think about anything on my wedding day except me and my bridal party getting ready with the help of an excellent team! The pricing is very fair, especially for how quality of a service I received! Courtney was amazing. During my hair/makeup trial she listened to my thoughts and created a look that was exactly what I wanted, which was great because I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted when I was describing it to her! On my wedding day, I wanted a small change and she talked me through this and it went so well. I felt extremely comfortable with everything and felt beautiful and supported! My bridal party looked amazing, thanks to both Courtney and the other hair artist on the team! Everyone was extremely happy with the service, especially myself. I highly, highly recommend Blushing Brides- they are truly amazing artists and people, and I am so grateful to them for being a part of my wedding day!

th my artist—McKenzie—almost right away during my hair and makeup trial. I love that she was able to expertly interpret what I wanted for my hair and that my makeup still made me look like me. She and Kassi were an absolute joy to work with on my wedding day and I’d pick them again in a heartbeat (not that I plan on getting married again but you know what I mean). Thanks to everyone at BB. You all are the best!

ng. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup regularly, I most concerned about looking and feeling like myself on the wedding day. Working with Sarah my stylist for hair and makeup in my trial run made me very confident that I would be put together and ready to party in a beautiful makeup and hairstyle. I'm very grateful and would work with them again on another event, without a doubt - and I would highly recommend them to brides in the region.

oint. I got so many compliments! Thank you to the entire team but a special thank you to my bridal stylist Nikki! You are so amazing! Thank you for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt on my wedding day!

control! Couldn’t say enough nice things about this company
