Katie was so easy to work with from trial day, to setting up schedules, and then the wedding day. I showed her some inspo for hair and she made my hair look so beautiful! Day of the wedding she was on time, professional, and made time to even squeeze another bridesmaid in. Her and her partner Nina did a wonderful job on my any my bridesmaids' hair, and even stuck around for touchups. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone for bridal hair.

Katie did such an amazing job on my hair!!! It was everything I dreamed of and more! Having someone I’ve known since I was young be part of such a special moment made it even more meaningful. She truly brought my wedding day vision to life, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else to make me feel so beautiful. 💕I showed her an inspiration picture and she made my hair look even better than the picture! She’s the best.

Katie Thompson
Bridal Hair Master
Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been a bridal stylist for over 10 years, and I’m known for my attention to detail and the patient, calming energy I bring to every bride. I love creating styles that feel both effortless and unforgettable—whether it’s a whimsical updo, a soft boho braid, or timeless Hollywood waves. What I love most about bridal styling is the heart behind it all. Being part of a bride’s morning means sharing in her joy, her laughter, and all of the in-between moments that make the day so special. For me, it’s never just about the hairstyle—it’s about helping her feel radiant, confident, and completely herself as she steps into a brand-new chapter of her story.
Bella Puleo
Lead Hairstylist
Hi lovely ladies! I’m Bella Puleo, Lead Hairstylist with Golden Veil Bridal. My passion is creating romantic, textured updos and soft, effortless styles that bring out each bride’s natural beauty. What I love most about bridal styling is the elevated energy of the day and the honor of helping women feel their most confident and radiant. A little about me: I’m a third-generation hairstylist, my go-to favorite updo is a messy mid-high Pamela Anderson–inspired look, and my favorite wedding-day moment is always the first look with the bridal party. I’m so excited to share my love for bridal styling with you and help you feel your absolute best on your wedding day!
Nina Miulli
lead Hairstylist
Hi, I’m Nina! My bridal style is whimsical and undone with just the right amount of polish—think perfectly imperfect, romantic, and effortlessly elegant. I love the artistry of creating soft, timeless looks that make each bride feel like the most radiant version of herself. What I cherish most about weddings is being part of such a meaningful day. From the fun, high-energy moments of getting ready with the bridal party to the magic of seeing a groom’s face light up as his bride walks down the aisle, it’s truly an honor. My absolute favorite look to create is an undone French twist—it’s classic, chic, and always a showstopper.
Lindsey Ellen
Dual Master Stylist
Hi, I’m Lindsey! With 20 years behind the chair and a decade dedicated exclusively to the bridal world, I bring an elevated, effortless-glam approach to wedding beauty. As both a hairstylist and makeup artist, I love creating cohesive, camera-ready looks that enhance your natural beauty and reflect your unique style. I was nominated as a Top Stylist on the Emerald Coast and won the People’s Choice Award for Makeup in 2018 — but my favorite thing will always be helping a bride feel like the most confident, dreamy version of herself. Whether your vision is soft glam, boho luxe, or chic classic, I’m here to make your day feel unforgettable. When I’m not glamming up brides, you can usually find me enjoying a chocolate cream cold brew with raspberry cold foam to start my day, or a glass of red wine to wind down. As a proud mom of four, I know how meaningful each milestone moment is — which is why I’m always drawn to the thoughtful details that make a wedding personal. My favorite? Always the flowers. I love seeing how they bring everything together.
