I am so happy with the job that Chessy with Blushing Brides did for my recent wedding! Chessy is a true artist and did an amazing job. She was so easy and fun to work with - I really enjoyed getting to know her and working with her. We were runny very behind the day of my wedding and she managed to pull off the most gorgeous makeup look for me in half the time allotted so we could get back on scheduled. I was so impressed, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Chessy is the BEST!!!! I had an amazing experience!!!!

Chessy was wonderful to work with, she went out of her way to accommodate my hectic schedule and the needs of my family members. She was even willing to do a last minute add-on the day of. She made my bridesmaids look like movie stars and even got my mother's notoriously unruly hair to look awesome! Would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to get their hair and makeup done for any occasion!

Chessie was absolutely amazing! After having a horrible experience with another hair and makeup artist, I found Chessie less than a month before my wedding. She was very flexible and understanding, offering to go out of her way to accommodate my needs. Logistics were an issue since I live in Richmond and was getting married in Sandbridge. Chessie was able to do my trial on the day of our rehearsal dinner and was very patient with all the interruptions we had. Everyone was very impressed with my hair and makeup, as was I! Thank you so much, Chessie!! You're the best!! :)

I was a bride having a destination wedding in Va Beach and had a horrible trial with another vendor, my time was limited on being able to travel down and worry about doing trials to make sure I found the right person, so I was in panic mode. Luckily! I found Chessy/Blushing Brides right after, she saved the day. She is a wonderful person inside and out, she took her time through the trial and really wanted to make sure my vision came to light, after the trial she keeps in contact up until the wedding day, her contracts/payments are easily done online through her company website so you can keep track of everything. She was also super flexible when it came to my wedding party and being able to add a few people closer to the wedding date. Chessy and her team were great the day of, super professional, punctual, and fun! Everyone commented on how great our hair and makeup looked, it defiantly showed in all the pictures. I would highly recommend Blushing Brides, you will not be disappointed, it will be one thing you will defiantly not have to worry about on the day of your wedding and you will look and feel gorgeous!

Chessy was AMAZING!! I had my makeup trial with another local artist and was not pleased with the results. It was airbrushed makeup, and I couldn't exactly pinpoint what I disliked, but overall I felt/looked like a clown!! (And I'm not one of those people who is scared to wear a lot of makeup.) My hair was also teased and poofed and looked a bit "jersey shore." I had it half up/half down and curled. My hair doesn't hold a curl very well and they started to fall out within several hours and looked stringy. I informed the artist, and she said that maybe we would have to just do an updo for the wedding. I called Chessy a month before my wedding and she was a life saver!! I had always thought that I wanted airbrushing, because I wanted to look flawless and "perfect," but Chessy took the time to explain to me in detail that airbrushing is not for everyone and that she could achieve the same flawless, "photo ready," and lasting look with traditional makeup. I told her about my hair dilemma as well, and instead of suggesting that I switch my preferred style to an updo, she recommended that I get some long layers put in so that my hair would have more "bounce" (why didn't I think of that?) Her schedule was very flexible and she was able to get me in for a trial right away--she travels to you. She took her time during my trial and tweaked things as I requested until I was completely happy with the results. I was nervous wearing my hair half down for the wedding, but it looked perfect and lasted the entire night! I loved my hair and makeup and felt beautiful! Worth the money. I absolutely recommend Chessy!

Chessy was absolutely amazing!! Not only did everyone in the bridal party look gorgeous, she is so sweet and such a pleasure to work with. I did not know exactly what I wanted and everything ended up so beautiful! Chessy really went above and beyond and I could not have been happier!

Chessy and her team were absolutely amazing! Chessy responded to my first inquiry about getting bridal hair and make up done within hours. From there, Chessy continued to keep me updated on scheduling and provided timely feedback for hair/make up ideas. Anytime I would email her, she would email right back! Chessy came to me for my hair trials and even accommodated my mother, so she could be more relaxed on my wedding day. On my actual wedding day, Chessy was on time with her team and provided each of my girls with beautiful hair and make up looks, that received compliments all evening! My hair was stunning and stayed in all evening (which was a concern for me because my hair is so thin). I couldn't have asked for a more professional, caring and fun makeup/hair artist than Chessy. If you are in Hampton Roads, want a stress free wedding day, and want someone energetic, fun, and highly talented, I highly recommended getting in contact with Chessy! She will work with you, like she did with me to make your wedding a day to remember. I can't thank Chessy and her team enough for making my dreams come true!

Chessy was BEYOND amazing for my wedding. We were unable to do a trial based on my hectic schedule so I was a little nervous to see how day of my wedding would go without trying styles for hair and makeup out. Chessy came early enough in case we wanted to try a few options which wasn't needed at all. She knocked it out of the park on the first try. I got compliments all day long and felt/looked like a million bucks! My makeup lasted all day long in a Summer Beach Ceremony!! It was unbelieveable!! My hair literally lasted from Saturday morning until Sunday Afternoon without being stiff or glued to my head. It was absolutely GORGEOUS! Chessy was so sweet and personable we talked the entire time and she didnt mind once that I had kids running in and out of our session. I can't wait until the next event so I can use Chessy again! Love her!!

Chessy was outstanding! Not only was my hair and makeup done to perfection, she was a pleasure to work with. I had to add hair services for a family member at the last minute (week of) and Chessy took it in stride.

I also had the opportunity to have a hair "trial run" before the wedding. I would highly recommend this! Having searched and pinned numerous pictures of a particular hairstyle, I was certain that's what I wanted. Chessy made it happen. Something felt off, however, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I hadn't planned for anything else, so I was a bit at a loss. Chessy to the rescue! She made changes in several stages - getting a feel for what I liked and didn't like along the way - until we nailed it. I never would've thought I wanted what I ended up going with, but her expertise and patience made all the difference.

Thank you, Chessy!
