Aubrie and Christina did an amazing job! They communicated clearly and consistently leading up to the wedding. I did a makeup and hair trial with them which went great, they asked for feedback step by step and made sure I loved the end result. The day of the wedding I just got to relax and have fun knowing they do great work and knew exactly how I wanted my hair and makeup to look. They got done with all of the bridesmaids, myself, and my mom in plenty of time. Thank you for making me look amazing and feel confident on my wedding day!

g running smoothly, on time, and were so much fun to have around! They truly made my vision come true – Aubrie perfectly captured my natural but shimmery makeup look, and Christina created the most beautiful, full looking/textured up-do despite me having fine hair. They also did AMAZING with my bridesmaids who had hair types ranging from extremely thick, to very very thin, as well as oily and red skin types. I felt beautiful and confident the entire night, and my entire bridal party was incredibly happy with their hair and makeup!

incredible.
From the beginning, Aubrie was so kind, professional, and accommodating. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. Her talent is exceptional, and she brought my vision to life perfectly. I wanted a soft, natural look with just a hint of glam, and she achieved that look flawlessly. My makeup enhanced my features without feeling heavy or overdone and I still looked like myself, just elevated.
I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day! And my makeup stayed flawless from the beginning of the day to the end.
If you're considering Elegant on Arrival for your wedding, I highly recommend them, and if you have the opportunity to work with Aubrie, you're in excellent hands. She is incredibly talented, and I couldn't have been happier with my makeup!

Kelsey and Kaili from Elegant on Arrival were a DREAM to work with. I had so much fun at both my trial and wedding, and all my bridesmaids and mom LOVED them! Their energy is every...
thing you need before your big day, and I can't imagine the getting ready process without them. They both are true "girls' girls" and make the best hair & makeup team you could ask for. They're both extremely talented and both for my trial and on my wedding day, when they handed me the mirror to see once they were done, I fell to the floor because I couldn't believe what a BEAUTIFUL job they did. The makeup was not cakey or "too much", but gave me the full coverage and glam I asked for. The value for the service was amazing. Elegant on Arrival's pricing is more than fair for what you receive. Book them and request Kelsey and Kaili!

Aubrie and Christina did an incredible job with my bridal hair and makeup, and for the bridesmaids who chose their services. They fully understood what I wanted and implemented any...
notes I had seamlessly. I wanted to ensure my makeup didn’t look caked and I still looked like “me,” and Aubrie gave me the perfect balance of bridal, light, and dewy! Christina helped make my elegant pony possible, better than I could’ve imagined it! She was always willing to make adjustment after I noticed a couple changes I wanted to make on the day. The only change I would’ve made is a tighter pony as it had to be re-secured a couple of times.
They both were such a wonderful presence to have on the wedding day, making me feel special, beautiful, and heard. I will scream their names from the mountain tops!

I found Elegance on Arrival through The Knot at a time that I was struggling to trust vendors. Aubrie responded to me almost immediately, & was phenomenal. She was so understanding...
& helped communicate through timelines!
We weren't able to do a trial for my make up due to me living in a different state and having a somewhat destination wedding, but she was AMAZING. We also had Ashlynn, who was just as good! All of my bridesmaids said how beautiful their make up was & how long it stayed!! I cried the entire day & my make up DID NOT MOVE ONCE. They were so professional & did great timeline wise with the number of people we had!
BOOK THEM & DON'T THINK TWICE. Their prices were beyond fair & so worth it.
Thank you so much for everything!!

On my wedding day, they arrived early to set up and worked seamlessly through the schedule, even including extra time for touch ups! My bridesmaids absolutely LOVED their hair and makeup and how long lasting it was throughout the warm June day.
Most importantly, they left me at ease the morning of the big day. I trusted them completely and they beyond delivered. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Elegant on Arrival for your bridal look! You will not regret it!

ing for my thoughts throughout the process and adjusting based on feedback. They came to our venue bright and early on wedding day to complete 8 hair and makeup services. They took inspo pics from each of my girls and brought them to life! My mom has never worn makeup and Caleigh added the most delicate of touches to address her concerns without making her feel over the top. I am so picky when it comes to these professional services but both my hair and makeup were absolutely perfect. I would absolutely recommend booking with EoA.. Aubrie is going to orchestrate everything flawlessly behind the scenes and your artists are going to transform your bridal party into the most gorgeous versions of themselves. Don't hesitate!!!

ir and/or makeup done.
We were looking for someone who could do a more natural look as me and my girls are not everyday makeup-wearers so we wanted someone who could make us comfortable in wedding makeup. At the bridal trial, we did a bit of a heavy bridal makeup look so that we could see what I liked and didn't like, and Aubrey was able to perfectly change my look based on feedback from the trial. I could not have been more happy with my makeup or hair on the day of! She was able to do a unique look for each of the girls that was in tune with their own features and style.
Both women were very fun and peppy, making getting ready such a great experience. They both had wonderful attitudes and really listened to what we wanted. I would definitely recommend them!
