Hiring Lily Flower Hair and Makeup was the best decision I made for my big day (other than marrying my husband lol!!). I was looking at a lot of beauty companies in the area, and R...
uth was the only one that never pressured me into making a decision immediately and truly made me feel comfortable from start to end. I was extremely busy and I didn’t do a trial, which at first made me a little worried. However, on my wedding day, the first time meeting Ruth and Madelina, it felt like we were friends! We talked and laughed the whole day! They made my whole bridal party look absolutely beautiful. I trusted Ruth with my makeup, and she couldn’t have done a better job. Everyone complimented my hair and make up all night long! I have super curly hair, and I was worried I hat I couldn’t find someone to take care of it the right way, but Madelina did an amazing job and I was truly so happy with the final look. Ruth also made sure that I was feeling good throughout the whole day. She calmed my nerves and made sure I was drinking, eating, or not cold due to people coming and going from my room. Overall, I had the absolute best experience with Ruth and Madelina!!

I hired lily and flowers for hair and makeup on my wedding day a few days ago. I feel like Ruth went above and beyond to accommodate what I needed for both my bridals and wedding d...
ay. First of all I asked to do a trial run early in the morning so I could use it for my bridal portraits and she was able to help me with makeup that day. The stylist for hair was both Ashley and the owner, and I have never thought my hair looked better (on a humid day/ rainy day). It stayed that way all night. I loved my makeup for both my bridals and the big day and my mom loved her makeup for the wedding as well. They made my wedding party feel very comfortable. I am so glad lily and flowers was accommodating and kind of a day that can be seen as very stressful. ( it rained on my wedding day and we had to move everything in doors). My husband said he “thought I looked beautiful walking down the aisle.” I will always look back and have Ashley and Ruth to thank to giving me an extra boost of confidence by doing my makeup and hair.

Ruth and her team were such a joy to work with! Angel and Madelina were the hair and makeup artists assigned to my bridal party and they were incredibly intentional and took the ti...
me to understand and deliver the hair and makeup looks each member of my bridal party envisioned. Everyone looked beautiful and the experience of getting our hair and makeup done was stress free and relaxing on the wedding morning.
As someone who typically wears minimal makeup, I was nervous about finding a balance between having more formal makeup and still looking like myself, but Ruth and her team put me at ease and helped me to look bridal while still feeling like myself. I would highly recommend Lily Flower Hair and Makeup to brides and bridal parties who are looking for friendly service and elevated, yet natural hair and makeup looks.

working by herself with a smaller team which I liked. Ruth gives personalized attention to what your wants and needs are. I was very apprehensive because the makeup and hair vendors for my first wedding had no vision of what I wanted and I disliked what I looked like my first wedding. Ruth listened to what I wanted and even looked at my trial photo to adjust what type of eyelashes would look better. Ruth took all of my worry away! I felt and looked like a movie star on my wedding day! My makeup and hair looked great the entire time! Thank you so much Lily Flowers!

I was talking to an actual human on the other side of the messages!!!
Every reply was timely and so personable! I knew my business meant something to them. I wasn’t just going to be “another costumer” or “the next bride”.
They made the whole booking process easy and they were so flexible leading up to my big day!
Ruth was our make up artist and Jade was our hair stylist. They felt like part of the bridal party and their work was AMAZING!
I would recommend them to anyone looking for an AFFORDABLE and AMAZING duo!! ❤️

Ruth and her team were amazing. When I first started researching Hair and Makeup vendors for my wedding I had about 5 “top” vendors I was considering but ultimately I went with Rut...
h and her team. Before I even signed a contract she answered all my questions, gave me reassurance and demonstrated patience. She’s not a high pressure sales woman- she’s a top notch artist that truly listens to what you want. I was able to do a preview before my wedding day and it was a great experience to get to know each other and I walked away with a lot of hair tips from Cass that I utilized on my wedding day.
About two weeks out from the wedding I received my instructions and schedule. I felt this was perfect timing because it helped me finalize the schedule for the day, without feeling like this was a last minute plan.
On my wedding day, Ruth, Cass and Jay really blew away my expectations on my wedding day. All the girls came with inspo pictures and the artists went to work! They even provided input if they thought tweaks to the inspo picture would be helpful (but never went rouge or pushed their ideas). Ruth provided flawless makeup, Cassandra made everyone’s hair impeccable, and my mom and MIL loved Jay who did both (hair and makeup) for them! Everyone was definitely wedding ready and I am so happy I went with Lily Flower Hair and Makeup!

and with excitement, so to me she was my obvious choice! I did a trial with her, and she took note of all of my requests for my wedding day hair and makeup and made it a reality! She was the missing piece in turning me into a bride! She did both my, and my mothers hair and makeup and we both could not have been more happy with how it turned out. Plus, the rates are extremely fair. Ruth is very personable as well and made the whole process enjoyable. Will always highly recommend her for any makeup/hair glam needs!

If you’re looking for the best glam for your day…look no further. Coming into my wedding I knew NOTHING about hair and make-up and was so worried I was going to not like my wedding...
day look. I emailed so many people who ONLY do airbrush makeup and it was hard to find someone who did conventional, natural makeup. Finally I found Ruth. From our first meeting until the wedding day she made me feel so comfortable. She explained everything to me, answered my questions, and helped me achieve my perfect look through MULTIPLE trials (she really only needed one, but I was nervous and kept wanting to try different things, haha). She helped me and my bridesmaids find extensions and answered every question quickly and throughly through email or phone. Whenever I thought there was a hiccup she was there for support and guidance!! I had 11 girls that needed to be styled and Ruth and her team finished with plenty of time to spare! They were able to keep everyone on time and still ensure everyone was happy with their look. Please, do yourself a favor and schedule a meeting with Lily Flowers and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Ruth was recommended by my venue, Gardens at West Green, and I booked her as soon as possible with a short engagement within 9 months. She was able to accommodate me and I was so ...
excited because her work looked gorgeous to me! I scheduled her for my bridal portraits but unfortunately, since Texas decided to have another ice storm on that weekend and being an out of town bride, I was not able to book her for the following weekend/raincheck. I got someone else to do my bridals, but I immediately sent Ruth those pictures along with my inspiration photos. Come wedding day, she knew exactly how to tweak the look to get it perfect even though we were not able to do a trial. She absolutely NAILED it. Even though the day was a rush, she gave me a beautiful updo and soft glam makeup, just like I had pictured and discussed with her. She is so professional and sweet, and I wish I had been able to work with her for bridals because trust me, you're getting a true professional who will pay attention to detail even if the day is busy and rushing by. Thank you Ruth!!

mantic and glamorous but you still look like yourself. I had a pretty large party of 12 and Ruth and her team did an excellent job. Everyone was happy with their hair and makeup. I got so many compliments and my hair and makeup lasted all night.

d me decide on all my hair and makeup styles and needs! Ruth was so great to work with her stylists Marina and Lupe were a dream to have with me on my wedding team! They were super sweet and booked my trial. After the trial they were super easy to chat with and tailor the exact look I was wanting. The day of the wedding they arrived promptly, professionally and efficiently. They were so easy to have in the bridal suite and felt like one of the girls! They took all my style requests/tweaks/desires and created a makeup and hair of my dreams that totally rocked and was so elegantly stunning! I wouldn't hesitate recommending Lily Flower to all my friends and family and will keep them in mind if I ever need to look fabulous again! Thanks so much ladies for making my wedding day even more lovely!

Everything was perfect - from the contract execution to the trial to answering all my questions. Makeup was flawless and the expert team was on time and very professional. The on...
ly reason for giving a 4 star is because less then 10 days from the same wedding I was told the main makeup artist who I wrote the contract with had a conflict for the wedding date. She called me and found a replacement but I was super frustrated and nervous- at the end it all turned wonderful and I would use them again.
Response from Lily Flower Hair and Makeup on 06/17/2022
Hi Tina! Thank you for your kind words! We normally keep the same stylist as the one that ...
did the trial. If you read the contract it states that in case of an emergency, another stylist of similar experience will be provided. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future again should you require our services!

endly and so amazingly talented at what she does! I ended up doing a wedding trial for my hair and makeup and wanted a few things changed on the day of the wedding. She listened to them and ended up making me look absolutely beautiful on the day of the wedding. I owe it all to her and her team for me making me feel 100% confident on my wedding day! They are the best wedding decision I made!

g, we went with a different element of product as spoken before, and it stayed on the WHOLE night, with no reaction. AWESOME! She was so great at keeping calm through the chaos that was going on int he background. She was so reassuring, and made sure to stay on a time schedule. Her and her team member were great at keeping things friendly and professional. I would highly recommend her looking in this department.
