    • For products like eyeshadows and lipsticks, I use disinfectant wipes, and for lipsticks specifically, I use a spatula to collect fresh color, avoiding direct contact. With mascara, I always use a new applicator and never double-dip.

    • Furthermore, all makeup kit brushes, combs, and clips are thoroughly cleaned with 99% alcohol, and I use fresh bobbie pins straight out of the container for every wedding.
      My commitment to keeping my hair and makeup kit germ-free has always been, and will continue to be, a top priority.

    • Florida Keys Bridal Team is a wedding beauty service based in Tavernier, Florida.

Linda was such a delight! She helped to calm me. She went above and beyond when the best man delivered a gift from my groom that made me cry and ruined my makeup ...she had to start over! She made me feel beautiful and my groom just kept saying Wow...just Wow..You are supposed to feel like a princess on your wedding day and Linda accomplished that...she was early, has everything she needs , she is professional but also very personable. You leave feeling like you made a friend! I would highly recommend her!

Above and Beyond!!

Our wedding was, for lack of a better word, Awesome! We picked Key Largo Lighthouse because their properties offer gorgeous beach settings, all-inclusive wedding packages, and one location for all of your events. We live out of state, so the all-inclusive option made planning our destination wedding so much easier then we anticipated. We were able to choose from all of their preferred vendors which were high quality and very professional. I highly recommend adding on the wedding planner option. Our planner, Ali, made the process of planning a destination wedding easy and seamless. We were always in communication with her and the event manager via phone and email. We had scheduled phone meetings for each step of the planning process and she made sure every detail was covered. We also loved that we were able to accommodate up to 24 guests (family members) within the two houses on the property. There was tons of space with plenty of beds and the kids utilized the pool all weekend. We were able to host a beach party and luau, rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception, and a Sunday brunch all in the the same place without the added expense of another venue. Guests had plenty of parking and the use of very nice bathrooms attached outside of the main house. Lastly, we were very well taken care of and if we needed anything all we had to do was ask! Thank you Linda and Key Largo Lighthouse!!

I loved working with Linda to get ready for the big day!! She was so helpful in the months before selecting extensions and styling! I appreciated her lighter application of makeup while still making me feel so pretty!
Thank you Linda and team!!!

Hair and Makeup perfection

Linda was an absolute dream to work with. Her depth of knowledge and artistry in makeup was truly impressive, and I couldn’t have been happier with how both my hair and makeup turned out—I received endless compliments throughout the day. She was incredibly responsive and made the entire planning process seamless. I especially appreciated her thoughtful recommendations for both hair extensions and makeup products, which were spot-on. I genuinely can’t recommend Linda highly enough—if I could hire her every day, I would!

Key West Wedding August 2025

Where do I even begin?! From the moment I contacted Linda at Florida Keys Bridal, I knew that my girls and I were going to look FABULOUS. I was your normal bride - I thought I knew what I wanted and how to communicate it perfectly - then of course I changed my mind 17 times. Adding and removing girls who needed/didnt need hair and makeup - changing what my hair piece would be - my hair style, honestly you name it and I probably changed it. Through it all, Linda was there! Linda and I never met in person, I did not do a trial hair or makeup session and yet she and Kylie NAILED EVERYTHING. It's not easy when all of the girls but me are under 22 -they are very temperamental, emotional, and picky. Linda & Kylie were calm-cool and collected. They could see and tell if the girls liked something or not and they could tell they were afraid to say something for fear of hurting someone's feelings. Linda stepped right in and said "nope not on my watch girls, we got something wrong, lets fix it". They LOVED their hair and makeup, and the best part - in 90-degree humid hot weather - we all still looked FLAWLESS.

Linda is the best!

It was a pleasure working with Linda. She helped make my day unforgettable. She did my bridal makeup and my entire bridal party. She also did my hair. Everyone looked beautiful and my makeup and hair lasted the entire night.

Simply beautiful!

Linda did an amazing job creating the most elegant hair and make-up for my bridesmaids, flower girl and mother of the groom.
I wanted classic elegant for my beach wedding and she created the most amazing looks!
She came well prepared for multiple hair lengths and skin tones and options for accessories for hair accents.
She made the day fun, relaxing and entertaining!!!
Linda is a one in a million!

Linda will become like family.

Run, don't walk to book Linda and her team for your Florida Keys wedding. There aren't enough characters here to talk about how wonderful Linda is or how expert her hair and makeup skills are. From ease of booking - seriously, the itemized list is SO EASY - to trials and wedding day, Linda went above and beyond to not just make up feel comfortable, but make up feel welcomed and supported. Linda and her team made us feel like family - so much so that she stayed for photos to be part of our joy with us. She knows how to wrangle Florida frizz like no one I know (and if you know, you know...) and she made me feel like ten million dollars on our wedding day. She cut my grooms hair for the wedding (still his best haircut ever!) and had us doubled over laughing with her amazing stories of past jobs in the movie and TV industry. Book Linda and her team the second you book your Keys wedding. You won't regret it for a single second. We love you, Linda!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
