Brides by Kelly

Not only did Kelly ensure the bridal party looked stunning but also made the time enjoyable. She gave her honest opinion and feedback on styles. This is the second wedding in the family that she has helped with and again the results were fantastic!

Kelly and Gina were amazing!! They showed up right on time and even finished early, leaving us plenty of time to feel relaxed and enjoy the morning. Every single woman in our wedding party looked stunning and received so many compliments. I felt zero stress because I knew my hair and makeup would be superb. The trial was so helpful to make sure we were totally aligned on what I was looking for and they took all my feedback to make sure the day-of was perfect, and it was. Thank you so much for helping me feel my best on the best day of my life!

Kelly is a true professional. Her years of experience in the industry really showed, in every step of the way from our first phone call to the very last of the final touches. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and never made me feel like I was asking dumb questions or that I was overthinking or overreacting. When it came to the day of, Kelly and Agnes arrived early and ready to hit the ground running. They made all of my bridesmaids and me feel glamorous, pampered, and beautiful. Both artists were incredibly easy to work with. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted the entire hot, June day. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone!

Kelly and Gina were nothing but amazing for my big day! I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my hair and makeup. They are fast and efficient and will make sure you are satisfied before you walk down the aisle.

WOW!!! "Brides by Kelly" did an outstanding job with my daughter's wedding!! We call them "THE DREAM TEAM!!!" Kelly, Agnes and Gina did an incredible job making everyone in the bridal party to look and feel so beautiful!! My daughter, the bride, looked absolutely gorgeous and Kelly and her team made all of her dreams come true in capturing the look that she had hoped for! Everyone looked so beautiful! They were all so very fun, kind, professional and just a pleasure to be with! I will forever be so grateful to "Brides by Kelly" for the beauty that they blessed all of us with! Thank you so very much!! XOXO

Kelly was our hair artist for our wedding. We had a preview day, and we didn’t totally settle on a hair do because I’m very specific and I couldn’t figure out what was right. I put my trust in Kelly. The day of, she said she had a great idea she had been excited to try. She nailed it. My hair exceeded my expectations. It was perfect for my vibes. It was classy, yet one of a kind. Our group was about 9 people. Kelly had Gina come to do the makeup. At the preview day, Gina followed my request of neutral makeup. Once I looked at it, I told her I didn’t want to see my skin, and I want to see my eyelashes from a mile away. She looked at me and said ‘Girl, you mean you want full Glam!’ I’m glad she understood what I wanted, even though I didn’t know myself. I looked amazing on the day, and the makeup made my eyes POP. I’ve had my makeup done by pros in the past, and they were never able to match me well. I usually looked worse. I was in heaven with Gina, I never expected to look that good! It was not good for my ego! She also wore pearls in her hair that day, and brought extras with. She knew I was a boujee bride. I of course told her I loved it and would’ve loved that, TG she came prepared with extras for me! The way Kelly and Gina understood me, and came prepared the day of for who I am, was amazing. They exceeded every expectation I had. I’m so thankful that they were my team!!!!

I loved working with Brides by Kelly! I had a large wedding party (8 bridesmaids) and wanted to get hair/ makeup done for myself, my mother, my MIL, and all of my bridesmaids for a reasonable price. That can be SO hard to find in Chicago. Brides by Kelly was awesome to work with-- super responsive and did an amazing job. All of my bridesmaids had different personalities and wanted different things for their hair/ makeup and Kelly and crew made everyone feel so beautiful. I also really appreciated that I did my run through/ trial run with Kelly and ended up wanting my makeup a bit different on the day of, and they totally understood and were not offended at all and made me feel so so beautiful, but still like myself. Our hair and makeup turned out awesome in photos. Brides by Kelly is so reasonably priced compared to other hair/ makeup artists, also. Would HIGHLY recommend!!

Kelly and her team were amazing! They were able to accommodate everyone’s wishes for their hair and makeup. I couldn’t ask for a better hair and makeup team!

i first booked Kelly in 2019; i had a small wedding party (me and 1 bridesmaid!) and it was a challenge to find someone willing to take me. I was so happy to have found Kelly, and from the outset she was wonderful to work with and absolutely stayed within my budget. Then I had to reschedule 2 times due to the pandemic and still she was so easygoing. I didn't get a chance to do any trials, so on my wedding day is the first time we met and OMG WOW, she killed it! i absolutely fell in love with my hair (and so did everyone else!) and my makeup was on point too. i took a gamble and i was just overjoyed on how it all turned out. better yet, Kelly is also just a great human so having her there for a few hours was so fun. Thank you Kelly!

Could not have had a better experience! Kelly and her team made me feel special and relaxed on my big day! They were such a fun and easy going group to work with and they contributed to a lot of laughs that morning while getting ready. From the very beginning Kelly made the process easy and informative. Prices and communication were A+! Myself and my bridesmaids loved how everything looked. Would recommend hiring them for your next big event. They sure know how to make a girl feel beautiful. Thank you for being apart of our special day!

Gina was amazing to work with! She really listened to me and my girls! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She arrived early and just was fun to have apart of my wedding! I highly recommend them! You won’t be disappointed!

This is the third wedding that I have been in that has used Brides by Kelly for hair and makeup and I would use them three more times! I’m not sure I have any more weddings coming up but I will find a way to use Kelly and her team for other special occasions!

Kelly and Agnes were exactly what I was looking for in a wedding hair/makeup artists. Kelly is extremely responsive, understanding, and now someone I would consider a friend. What more can you ask for in a wedding vendor? Agnes is extremely professional and uses the best makeup. She was accommodating and made sure we had time for touchups. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Kelly wowed us with her beautiful hair styles. During the trial run I did not love what we first came up with and Kelly was eager to try something new to make sure I was happy. We ended up chopping off a few inches of my hair to get the style I wanted so I got a cute haircut by her too! I really appreciated her honest input and hard work on how to make what I had pictured in my head come to life. The makeup artist she provided us with was also INCREDIBLE.

Kelly and Natalia were fantastic! I needed to find a replacement hair and makeup artist just a few weeks before my wedding and I was so grateful to find Kelly. She is so talented (and efficient!) with hair. After a nightmare experience with wedding hair and makeup as a bridesmaid I was extremely nervous and particular about my look as a bride. But Kelly and Natalia made me look and feel so stunning on my wedding day. They completely nailed my vision and feedback from the trial. Plus they were so friendly and fun to be around! I highly recommend them!

Kelly was great to work with! I was a little nervous about hiring a makeup artist because I didn’t want to look overdone or not like myself on my wedding day. Kelly’s styling was perfect. I still felt like myself, but elevated. The makeup translated perfectly in pictures, as well! After our trial, Kelly was receptive to a few tweaks, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Seriously the best hair and make-up i've ever had at a wedding! The girls we're so willing to make every girl feel beautiful and created a look that worked for that specific girl! My girls and I really loved our time with Brides by Kelly Anne + Co and we're all so happy with their work! They we're so flexible and willing to work with us! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Kelly was amazing! She answered all my questions and acknowledged my concerns throughout the entire process and even dealt with getting texts from me at all hours! She’s so flexible when it comes to time, place, etc. She’s absolutely fantastic!

Kelly (hair) and Agnes (makeup) were fantastic! They were so easy to work with and all the girls were so pleased with their looks. I highly recommend reaching out to Kelly. Planning a Chicago area wedding can be very expensive, I can happily say that Kelly's rates are definitely better than other places I was looking at.

I worked with Kelly and her team to do the hair and makeup for me and four of my bridesmaids. Kelly was incredibly flexible, and she nailed exactly what I wanted for my look - I was so happy how I looked on my big day, and could not have asked for a better experience!

Kelly is super responsive and was really helpful all along the way! I am usually anxious about giving feedback, but her team is super nice and was positive about the changes I wanted to make after my trial. They made sure I felt beautiful for my wedding day!

Loved working with Kelly and her team! They were professional, flexible and great to work with for both the hair trial and wedding day. We especially enjoyed their company on the wedding day - so much fun! Highly recommend.

I have such and amazing experience with Kelly and Agnes and would highly recommend, what a dream team! Kelly was very easy going, professional and did an amazing job on my hair as well as my girls! She helped bring every single one of our visions to life! We had a blast with them when we were getting ready! Thank you ladies for sharing your amazing talents!!

Kelly and Natalia were so amazing on my wedding day! I'm so happy that I booked Brides by Kelly for my wedding - by the time hair and makeup was finished we all looked like royalty! Kelly and Natalia were so friendly and easy to work with, all of my girls loved getting ready with them. A few people even made comments that they did a much better job than the hair and makeup they've had done at previous weddings. I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends and family looking to hire someone for a big event!

I loved working with Brides by Kelly! Kelly and Carolyn were professional, fun/relaxing to be with before my ceremony, and incredibly talented! They were professional and communicative from the start and super helpful at my trial. The day of, Kelly and Carolyn did hair and make up for me and my bridesmaids. We had a ton of fun getting ready, but most importantly, everyone looked amazing. My bridesmaids have Ben raving about their hair and make up even weeks after wedding. Definitely would choose Brides by Kelly again (thought I don’t plan on having another wedding any time soon...)

I had two hair and makeup trials before contacting Brides by Kelly, and I was disappointed in them both. Kelly asked me right away to send her specifics about what I was disappointed in, what I wanted, how I usually wore my hair and makeup and asked for pictures for inspiration. I really appreciated her eagerness to make sure a third trial with her girls went better. I did a hair trial with Ryan and makeup with Natalia. Both of them knocked it out of the park, and I felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders, and booked them right away. Hair and makeup was not something I had expected to be stressful, but Kelly, Ryan and Natalia wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. On the day of the wedding, Ryan and Natalia were AMAZING. They were right on time, were fun and chatty with my mom and my bridesmaids and of course, their work was beautiful. All my girls loved their hair and makeup. Some girls knew what they wanted for hair, some girls let Ryan do her thing, but all of them turned out absolutely gorgeous. Natalia has such a knack for enhancing people’s natural beauty, and paying attention to their skin and preferences instead of just painting a face on. My hair and makeup turned out even better than the trials (and both girls made changes based on a few notes I gave them) and they both held up all night even after dancing the night away! I would absolutely recommend them. They did a beautiful job, and I’m so appreciative!

Brides by Kelly gave me a fantastic experience! They were super accommodating for my trial, and so prepared and efficient on my wedding day. I wish we could do it again! I am so happy with how my and my bridesmaids' hair and make up turned out. Thank you!

Kelly and her team were wonderful on my wedding day! They had to get 12 of us ready in 5 hours and they did it! They worked well under the time crunch but we did not feel like they were rushing at all. I loved my makeup and hair! After the wedding my sister said, "I am totally using them when I get married." I will continue to recommend Kelly and her team to all future brides!

Would highly recommend to anyone! Everyone is so friendly and personable. Really listen to what you want and make you feel comfortable.

I was a little late to the process of booking hair and makeup. At 3 months out before my wedding I got in touch with Kelly and let her know we had a large group (15). She responded immediately with pricing and walked me through the options. I also needed my hair cut and colored with very little notice before my bachelorette weekend, and she fit me in at the last minute. On the day of, my girls and I were extremely satisfied with our hair and makeup. Kelly and Agnes did my hair and makeup and I felt stunning. Kelly did exactly what I wanted to match the hair trial and Agnes made a few changes I requested from the trial. Overall, Kelly's team is great - professional, prompt, and able to deliver! I would highly recommend.

I first encountered Kelly and her exceptional team as a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. My friend had commented on how wonderful Kelly had been throughout the hair and makeup trial and on the day of the wedding, she and her team were professional, prompt, personable (it felt like they were a part of the wedding party!) and all of us achieved the exact look we were going for. Several years later when it was my time to get married I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else for my own big day so I didn't hesitate to book. I had the same wonderful experience my friend did with the trial and again on my wedding day. I highly recommend Brides By Kelly!!

Kelly and her team did a wonderful job with my wedding in May 2018! Kelly is truly amazing and would recommend her to anyone! She’s professional, prompt and has the best personality! I was so happy with my hair!

I had an enormous wedding party with 9 (originally 11) bridesmaids and Kelly was not only extremely professional but flexible when it came to the constant changes that were needed with my bridal party. We all completely agreed that she did a superb job on hair and makeup. Expertly skilled and amazingly talented. I recommend everyone to her.

Kelly and Agnes were a fantastic team to work with! They were so flexible, fun, and made my bridesmaids and I look absolutely gorgeous for my wedding. They're great and I would totally recommend them, especially if you have a larger bridal party!

Kelly and her crew did a really great job on myself, my bridesmaids and mother's hair and make-up. There was a point on the day of where I thought my hair did not look as full as it did during the trial and she listened to what I had to say and re-did my hair! I was so thankful she was ok with re-doing it and it ended up looking exactly how I envisioned! She was also very flexible with my bridesmaids requests and many changes we had to make from the original estimate. Also, I was concerned about how my hair and make up would stay throughout the day. Through hours of dancing my hair and make up stayed put! Overall, she was great to work with and we had such an amazing experience!

Kelly and Agnes were both amazing to work with for both hair and makeup on my wedding day. They both have a real talent for what they do and I hope in the future I get to use them again for another event so I am recommending them to all my friends and family. From the trial run to the day of the wedding they were both on time, professional, and efficent. They listened to what I asked for and made changes if I requested them as well. They both did hair and make up for my large bridal party of 8 which was not an easy task and did it flawelessy and they made everyone happy. I couldn't believe they could work that quickly and give everyone their own look. Again, they are the best and if you have the choice to book them I strongly suggest you do...best decision I made and if I could do it again I would. Thanks again Agnes & Kelly for making me stunning on my wedding day. Cheers!

Kelly and her team were fantastic to work with! They were prompt to arrive, easy to communicate with, and did a great job with both hair and makeup for my larger group of women. The only thing I would say is that my hair stylist left before my makeup was completed, and I would have liked to have had a final spray/touch up before pictures. Other than that, everything else was fantastic. I would definitely recommend them!

Kelly& Carolyn were awesome! Their prices are super reasonable! While my trial wasn't exactly what we ended up doing on the big day, it looks amazing in photos ! I had my hair down and was outside for 2 hours in the windy city taking photos! It stayed great ! I wish I could post a thousand photos for you here! I would not have changed a thing!

Kelly and here girls are simply AMAZING! They helped me every step of the way and on the big day they made me feel like a princess!! You would be crazy not to pick Kelly and her team!! Worth every penny!! 😍😍

I worked with Kelly and Carolyn from Brides by Kelly to do hair and makeup for myself, my sister, my mother, and my officiant for my wedding. They listened to our ideas for what we were thinking and were able to improve upon them. I've never seen my mom and sister look so beautiful or feel so glamorous. They helped me channel my inner Bridget Bardot as well! On top of that, they were just a blast to be around. I can't recommend them enough!

I was very nervous about hair and makeup for my wedding since my sister had a horrible experience with a different vendor. I explained my concerns to Kelly and she told me I had nothing to worry about! My wedding was about an hour and a half away, and the hair and makeup needed to start at 6AM. One of them stayed in my room overnight and the other drove up at about 4AM! They were both on time, professional, and very kind! They were also accommodating when one of my bridesmaids wasn't a fan of the style she chose. They worked to make her happy. Everyone else was very happy with how hair and makeup turned out! The only small issue I had was my curls started to come out partway through the night. Since my hair is so fine, I just think more hairspray was needed. But, our pictures turned out wonderfully. I will definitely recommend Brides by Kelly for my friends!

This company is amazing!! We had Agnes and Caroline do makeup for 12 people the morning of the wedding. Everyone looked beautiful thanks to them! They came to the hotel that we were getting ready at at 6:15 in the morning and they were both super awake and cheery and got the day started with a smile! They were flexible with time and locations and great to work with. Agnes did my makeup and spent so much time making sure every single detail was perfect!! I so appreciated the time and energy she put into making sure I looked great for my wedding day. Both women were super fun and awesome to get to know. We received nothing but compliments on how everyone looked. Both makeup artists were extremely efficient and everyone was done with plenty of time to spare! I would definitely recommend both Agnes and Caroline if you are looking for great makeup artists! :)

In Sept. 2012 Brides by Kelly came to do our make up and hair. Our venue was not even close to where we are normally from and they traveled all that way. They did an amazing job and i would recommend them to anyone anytime for any occasion. Love Love Love

Thank you Brides by Kelly! I loved my hair and makeup for my wedding. Both the hair and makeup held all day (10am-3am). I received tons of compliments as did my bridesmaids and mother. My future sister-in-law raved about her hair and make up as well and was so impressed she plans on using Brides by Kelly for her wedding as well. Casi did a fabulous job on the hair and Agnes rocked our make up.

Absolutely fantastic, so grateful to her and very satisfied with her work =)

being that this was the most important day of my life thus far, I knew I wanted to be looking good for my future husband :) I really wanted the experience of having our hair and makeup team to travel to us so we could roll out of bed and just start the festivities of the day with getting pampered. Kelly from the beginning was so incredibly easy to work with and very reasonably priced. She offers great packages and even throws in some added bonuses. We had a total of 13 people getting ready the day of and we are all done in 6 hours, how I am not sure but it was amazing. Her team was absolutely fabulous and all of my ladies looked amazing!!! I do want to give a special shutout to Justine who made me feel absolutely GORGEOUS from my trial and even up to my wedding day. Not only was she my makeup artist but seriously a friend. She emailed me leading up to the big day to make sure I was doing well and to see if I had any questions/check in. She even followed up with me after the big day to see how everything went and thank me for letting her be a part of our day. Finally, I'd like to personally thank Kelly for stepping up just 3 weeks after having a baby to be one of our hair artist when something did not go as planned and I was left without a hair stylist 2 weeks before my wedding. You are a ROCKSTAR and super mom and I am so so happy I got to have you a part of our big day to make us all looking flawless. I seriously was so lucky to have Kelly and her team a part of my day and would HIGHLY recommend them to be a part of your big day, you will NOT be disappointed.

Brides by Kelly was wonderful! Kelly was able to put us in contact with Justine who could come to our house the day of. They made the trial process very easy and the day of the wedding everyone's make-up was beautiful. Justine was so personable and quick to follow-up.

Brides by Kelly did an amazing job. My whole bridal party looked fabulous and natural. Everything went smoothly from booking, trial and day of. Sarah was in charge of hair and was able to create our looks perfectly. Justine provided make up and make everyone look beautiful and natural. We even had some junior bridesmaids with make up and it looked aged appropriate! Great experience.

Kelly and Paige were amazing! They were very personable and made me (the nervous bride) laugh. They did an amazing job on mine and my bridesmaid's hair and makeup. We all looks absolutely gorgeous and got tons of compliments from guests.

They were wonderful! I felt like a princess all day. Best of all: my makeup didn't smudge nor I got a hair out of place even though I danced all night! Casi was my makeup artist and she was just wonderful. I highly recommend her. Carolyn worked on my hair and she listened to all my wants (I LOVED my tiny braid!). Overall, these ladies are a no brainer. You and your girls will be looking their best ALL. DAY. LONG.

Kelly did an amazing job. She made us all look beautiful for my wedding. She's also very personable and timely :) I would highly recommend (and already have) Brides By Kelly for any soon to be bride.

Kelly was amazing!!! My hair stylist backed out at the last minute so I reached out to Kelly and she was luckily available. She was flexible and we had a great trial run. She came extra prepared for the wedding day with a new idea to keep my hair in place. It was beautiful and everyone loved it. Plus, it stayed all night!! I would highly recommend !!!

Absolutely Stunning! I had the most wonderful experience with Brides by Kelly. They came to my hotel room at 6:00 in the morning on the day of my wedding. They were cheery and fun and full of energy. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely breathtaking with their makeup and hair done. My trial appointment was great and Kelly was fantastic about replying to all of my questions in a timely manner. I have been recommending this company to everyone i know! I would definitely go with them!!

Kelly, Justine and Casi were great! They were all very professional. We had a very large group of bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, and flower girls to get ready. Everyone was ready on time and looked great! I never worried that we were all going to get finished on time. Kelly was also very quick to respond to any emails/questions that I had leading up to the big day. I would highly recommend Kelly and her team.
