Indie Bridal Co was the best team I could have ever imagined working with on my wedding day. Leslie was a dream to communicate with and made me feel so seen and heard throughout th...
e entire process. She brought her incredible team all the way out to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to provide hair and makeup services for myself, my 7 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom, and 2 sisters in law. They were willing and excited even to help us with our destination wedding. Leslie was down for a full hairstyle change the week of the wedding, and it turned out better than I pictured. Caitlin and Bri also worked their magic and did an amazing job. They also supported me emotionally on the big day, helping me manage all the people and questions coming my way while getting ready. I can't say enough good things about my experience. I have never felt prettier thanks to this team!
Leslie White was my first contact, my stylist and the sweetest most reliable woman on this planet for my wedding. I am a low maintenance hair woman in my day to day life. So when I...
first came to Leslie I had no idea what i was looking for or how to create a fancy look for myself. I showed her pictures on what I thought i wanted and she helped talk me through it. How much hair I actually had, how my color would look and if i needed a hair cut to better suit my style. The trial she did based off what i thought i wanted was amazing but Leslie was convinced we could do even better. She helped me look at my face shape, what style of dress I bought, and the vibe of the wedding. What would best suit me. The FINAL wedding look, STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL!!! Zero regrets hiring her and my wedding pictures are the best memories ever.
Leslie did my hair and makeup for my elopement and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She gave me exactly the look I was going for and tweaked it to fit my features. Sh...
e is an expert and I would highly recommend her to family and friends! Her personality is easy to work with and she was a joy to have on my special day!
I hired Leslie from Indie Bridal Co to do my hair and make-up for my elopement in October 2025! I was super pleased with the results and she captured what I was hoping for exactly....
She traveled up the mountain to our airbnb in Idaho springs, Colorado and was so friendly and nice! It was nice to have someone to chat with while getting ready as I was there with just my partner. I would highly recommend Indie Bridal Co for your hair and make-up needs on your special day!
Indie Bridal Co. was the best hair and makeup vendor I could have asked for! Leslie did my wedding hair and Brooke did my wedding makeup - both were perfect! Affordable package and...
offered a discount through my wedding venue. Leslie was extremely easy to book with and super responsive throughout the planning process. She consulted with me on hair and skin prep and answered all questions I had.
Both artists were there for the trail run and did a wonderful job of recreating my vision and tweaking the look based on my feedback. They took pictures and notes on the look so they could recreate it on the wedding day. Leslie also recommended clip-in extensions for me that made the hair look come together perfectly.
Leslie also offered a great deal on rehearsal dinner hair and makeup. She came to my hotel, was super flexible, and made the rehearsal dinner look come to life.
On the day of, Leslie and Brooke were prompt, professional, clean, and flexible. They filled the room with good vibes too! They brought all of the hair and makeup tools needed. They did bridesmaids' and mothers' hair and makeup as well as mine. Everyone looked fabulous and loved their looks! Mine lasted all day (the makeup held up in the pouring rain!) and through the night.
I can't recommend Indie Bridal Co. enough. They will make your wedding hair and makeup dreams come true!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Leslie and her team at Indie Bridal Co. From the very first day I reached out about securing her services for my wedding, she was extremel...
y responsive, helpful, kind, and calming. Plus, Leslie and the Indie Bridal Co. team are excellent at hair and makeup. Leslie completely understood my vision and helped me clarify what I wanted. Leslie’s makeup style is perfect for brides who want to look like the very best version of themselves on their wedding day. Leslie, Riley, and Emma made wedding morning a breeze, and were the most perfect and calming presences on what could've been an overwhelming morning.
Leslie from Indie Bridal Co is the BEST!! She did my bridal makeup along with my squad’s (with very little notice) and did an incredible job. She’s very talented and exudes positiv...
e energy on a day where it’s needed the most. Highly recommend!
Leslie (the owner), Shellee (my HMU), and Rylee (our second HMU) did a phenomenal job at taking care of me and my bridesmaids! I came out of my trial a little unsure of how my pref...
erences were communicated. I sent a message with my feedback, and I received a bulleted list of how they would address each point so I could be completely confident in our plan the morning of the wedding. I felt so respected and heard leading up to and during the getting-ready process, and all of us looked STUNNING. I'm also a crier, and I was amazed that my makeup didn't budge even throughout all of my ugly crying during our ceremony. Even after our party photos in the 80+ degree heat, I was also shocked at how well my hair stayed in its curls. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could, and I'm so grateful for their attention and expertise.
Leslie did a FANTASTIC job on makeup for my wife and I. Loved that she had two brides pricing for hair and makeup and had experience doing two bride weddings. Leslie was so profess...
ional, did a fantastic job for our trial and day of, and really made us feel our best. She was so easy to talk to - which is no small feat when you're hanging out for 4 hours at a time (2 brides means lots of time in the hair and make up chair)! She was very responsive to our feedback after the trial, and was able to make all of the changes we asked for. We appreciated Leslie's strong support of the LGBT community and the wide variety in her portfolio. She did a great job on naturally curly hair, our two different skin tones, and our make up preferences. Definitely one of our favorite people we worked with on our wedding team!
Julianna and I were so pleased with how her big day went Saturday. She looked beautiful, and I got so many compliments on my hair! Everyone who got services looked amazing, and the...
whole crew loved how calm and upbeat you were, too.
Leslie makes it a mission of hers to go above and beyond for queer couples to help us have as much accessibility and as easy of a time as possible. Normally, they require minimums...
but Leslie drove 2+ hours to come and just do my hair and my wife’s hair. She cares about making us feel loved, welcomed, and appreciated. She was very excited to work with my wife’s vision on her shorter hair style and give the top some volume and curl! I am so grateful to her for everything that she did for us.
Leslie, Alyssa, and Madison did a phenomenal job with our and our wedding party’s hair + makeup! As two men, we knew we didn’t want a full glam but enough to make us feel photo rea...
dy on our wedding day! Our makeup was natural looking yet gave us a subtle glow!
Leslie and Alyssa did a makeup trial for us a few months before our wedding, and we absolutely loved the results! From the moment we met, we felt welcomed and we knew we were in great hands! They are such a joy to work with!
Leslie was also on top of creating a hair + makeup timeline that worked with schedules for the rest of the day and when the timeline had to be modified the day of, she was able to make it work! Everyone in our wedding party + each of our moms + flow girls were extremely happy with their hair + makeup!
So whether you’re looking for a full glam, a natural look, or something in between for your wedding, then please connect with Leslie! We can’t thank Leslie, Alyssa, and Madison enough!
Leslie’s team exudes talent, industry experience, hard work and professionalism. Communication was clear/timely. Scheduling was a breeze. Highly recommend! Thrilled with my make...

On top of providing amazing service, Leslie is a kind human with a great sense of humor. Such a joy to work with and have be an integral part of my wedding day! It was filled with laughs and smiles!
Leslie did such an incredible job! She is so easy to talk to and work with- I had never gotten my hair or makeup done before but Leslie put me at ease and was super receptive to my...
tweaks from the trial to the wedding day. She also did my sisters’ hair and makeup for the wedding day and without having seen them before and completely knocked it out of them park! I think they might have even gotten more compliments than me ;) highly recommend!!
This team is fantastic! They were so great in planning, professional, and cooperative for what we were looking for. HIGHLY recommend
Leslie and her team were the best!! When we met at the trial, I knew she was the perfect choice. She was very open about ideas and I felt very comfortable telling her things I love...
d and things that I wanted to tweak. The day of the wedding, there were 11 people getting their hair done and 7 makeup (ranging from flower girl to my husband’s, grandma). Not one person hated or complained about their hair and/or makeup (which if you have been in a wedding, you know what an impossible feat that is!!). Everyone said this was their favorite hair and makeup they have experiences and seen. Couldn’t recommend Indie Bridal Co. more!
Leslie was a dream to work with. In my planning experience, it was difficult to find and keep communication with makeup/hair vendors, but she was by far the exception. She was quic...
k, due diligent, and detailed in her responses. She made sure what she was creating fit my vision and it was a true collaboration. The day of went smoothly in the morning due to her team's experience and guidance. She was a key vendor to our team and we are grateful to have worked with her.

I found Indie Bridal Co. Via a facebook group. I was nervous about finding a hair and makeup company I could trust, and let me tell you, Indie went above and beyond. The owner Lesl...
ie is a fabulous communicator - she was really patient with my questions and had an amazing sense of humor through the entire process. Pricing was very reasonable and I was paired with an artist (Jamies Maynes) who also helped me prep my skin to be at its best for the big day starting 6 months out.
She made me feel absolutely gorgeous on my day and was an absolute joy to work with. She went above and beyond with my trial to make sure that I was comfortable and happy with my look. I can easily say, I've never felt more myself and more beautiful. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone - and CO brides, consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to work with Jamie! Truly a wonderful experience all around.

g. She was able to modify my hair style for the wedding day after the trial when we found it did not hold. She tweaked it to keep a similar style that would hold much better and it worked out wonderfully! The team with Shellee also did all my bridesmaids hair and makeup and they were efficient, kept to a schedule, and everyone looked great!
Leslie was AWESOME. She was able to accommodate hair and makeup for our elopement literally last minute when our original vendor backed out just days before our big day. Indie Brid...

I would absolutely recommend Indie Bridal Co. for wedding makeup! (I already had a hair stylist booked before finding them or would’ve used them for hair as well.) They were wonder...
ful at communicating, easy to book, and worked around my schedule to be sure I could have a trial for both myself and my mom (MOB) before the wedding. The artist was so sweet and made my wedding morning so fun. She offered both air brush and traditional makeup and was very skilled at both and took the time to make sure we all got the makeup looks we wanted. She was so talented and made us all feel like princesses.

mazing! My bridesmaids were so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out and all said Indie Bridal Co was the best hair and makeup team they have had.

I would highly recommend!

I can’t sing high enough praises for Leslie. She is a true artist, amazing human, and incredible business owner. I came across her website through a Google search and was instantly...
welcomed by the personal and inviting presence of her website. I had done a couple other trials before mine with Leslie and it was clear to me within the first 10 minutes that she was the one. I love how she enhances the natural beauty so effortlessly, her blending and contouring ability is on pointe, and that she took the time to ask me how I do my brows since they are such personal features on the face! Her hairdos both at my trial and at my wedding were magical transformations as well. She truly made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and I really loved that she enhanced my natural features and made me feel and look so beautiful for my wedding. Leslie and her team are amazing and I would highly recommend!
She was flexible and was receptive to us changing our minds on both hair and makeup. Very respectful of us not wanting to see each other at trial and day of! LGBTQ friendly as well...

my vision. They were very open to the feedback I provided post trial. I felt/ feel so beautiful looking back on pictures.
The other ladies in my party had nothing but great things to say about their services and how professional the team was. I loved how comfortable Shellee and Derek made our group feel. They also helped to keep the day on time.
I absolutely recommend Indie Bridal Co.!

st beautiful self that day in large part because of Shellee and Indy Bridal Co. Indy Bridal Co is responsive, reasonably priced, fun to work with, and one of the best choices I made for my wedding. They are also great at listening to what each woman wants for her hair and makeup and executing the look based on that input. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!
Shellee was so great!! Everyone looked GORGEOUS

Indy Bridal Co was a dream to work with. Leslie was super quick to get back to me with answers to any questions I had. Lainey did my hair and makeup for my June 2021 wedding and wa...
s wonderful throughout the whole trial and wedding morning. She and Kayla came to my parents’ lake house for hair and makeup. It was a lot to get done (hair for my 8 bridesmaids and me, plus several of us had makeup as well) but they stayed on time and everyone was so happy with the results. Leslie and Lainey had worked with my photographer and wedding coordinator ahead of the wedding so we had a timeline mapped out and everyone was on the same page. They were very professional — they showed up on time (despite having never been there before), they brought all the needed supplies, and they created an individual look for each bridesmaid… I highly recommend them for anyone’s wedding.
Indy Bridal Co was incredible. Leslie was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Lainey did my hair/makeup for the wedding and was the lead artist. We had her and t...
wo others come to a VRBO where we were all getting ready. Me, my six bridesmaids, the two moms, and four flower girls, all had hair and/or makeup done, so there were a lot of us. Lainey kept us all on schedule so I didn't have to stress. They were all very friendly, fun and professional. Leslie and Lainey answered my questions leading up to the wedding about the schedule and everything to ease my worries. I did a hair/makeup trial along with my sister and mother, and that all went so smoothly. Highly recommend!!

Indy Bridal Co is incredible. Shellee was our main hair and makeup artist, and she made everyone look stunning! She and Leslie (the owner) were very accommodating of my request to ...
do a second "trial run" after a major hair cut. On the day of the wedding, one of the Indy Bridal Co. artists caught the flu. Leslie was not scheduled to work our wedding, but showed up to make sure that we were all done with time to spare so that they could get to the next bridal entourage. It was very important to me to know that we would not run behind schedule due to hair and makeup delays, and the Indy Bridal Co. ladies came through. They will do whatever it takes to make you happy and relaxed on your wedding day! A very high recommendation from me!
Overall I was blown away by the exceptional service I received from Indy Bridal Co. The hair and makeup were more than beautiful and executed exactly how I had asked. But beyond th...
e beautiful work they did, what really stood out was their professionalism. I received a call the day before my wedding that my main stylist had come down with the flu. You would imagine "panic mode" would set in, but by the time the owner herself had called to share the unfortunate news, she and the other team members had already come together to devise a new plan. This is what you get when you hire a true professional! Never did I have to worry because they had it covered, and they exuded it with confidence. Everyone worked so hard that day and I am beyond appreciative that they made everything so wonderfully fabulous!!
