Shelley was incredible! I looked like the best version of myself on my wedding day. We even tweaked some things on the day and she was so malleable. She makes you feel comfortable and beautiful at all times. I was really lucky to have her do my makeup and my ladies' makeup for my wedding! We all looked so incredible!

COULD NOT BE HAPPIER about my experience with Gorgeous Brides, especially with Shelley. I booked her for a photoshoot and we did a test for my bridal hair and makeup. Not only was I over the moon about the look we came up with, but so was my mom AND my moh.... and those ladies are hard to please! The photos look awesome!! On top of that, she made me feel so comforted because she has such a warm and friendly personality, which I know will completely calm me down on my big day. She recently got married so she knows all of the trials and tribulations of the 'day of' and catered my makeup and hair knowing full well what kind of maintenance and upkeep it takes for a loooong day of what I expect will be a combo of running around, stress, fun, sweat and lots and lots of happy tears. On top of that, I learned a lot about applying makeup because she isn't afraid to share her expertise. Definitely recommended this company already to all of my girl friends who are getting hitched!

Shelly is a fabulous makeup artist. I've used her twice now for wedding-related events and she gave me the exact look I wanted: beautiful and glamorous, but I still felt like me!

She's also an overall nice, easy-going human who I was happy to have in my home on my special day. I wish I had more excuses for professional makeup!

Shelley and Allyson were the absolute best to work with for my wedding day! From the trial hair and makeup to the best day of my life, both of these ladies made me feel like a QUEEN! They listened to my vision and executed exquisitely. I can not recommend them more highly! Thank you again ladies!

I have been using Ally for years for my hair and when I was proposed to, she was the obvious choice! She is always there when I needed her and was a great addition to my wedding day. Shelley was introduced to me by Ally for my wedding day. All of my girls looked stunning! I can't imagine going through my big day without this dynamic duo!

The first person I call anytime I have an event is Allyson. She does amazing hair for all of my events if it's my birthday, a wedding or a night out. She always nails the look I'm going for and I end up getting compliments all night. I would never use anyone else. She's very professional and always on time. I definitely recommend her!
