Love this store!

MODELBRIDE has so many beautiful white options that even after my wedding I went back and purchased a stunning jumpsuit. The owner Lori was so helpful. I was a little overwhelmed and indecisive at first but then Lori helped me pick out everything from head to toe. She is always asking lots of questions and really seems to care about helping her bride find the perfect look. The store is fabulous, and is every bride's dream to walk into. Definitely a store that I would recommend for all brides!

This Boutique Had It All

I love MODELBRIDE. My wedding planner recommended it. It has such a wonderful vibe - relaxed elegance. Lori, the owner is so friendly and knowledgeable. I shopped there several times over the months before my wedding. I found so much in this store! Highly recommend to any bride to be.

Best accessories I have seen by far!

We had searched far and wide for bridal accessories and heard of ModelBride through a bridal salon we happened to pass. We went it and were blown away but the selection available, the warm professionalism by Lori, and the prices. Ended up getting everything I needed to tie my gown together and found a beautiful dress for the rehearsal dinner as well. Wish I would have gone here first for my accessories and would definitely go again!

My Mom and I had Beth do our hair and makeup for my wedding - we both loved how she did us! She was very experienced and her professionalism showed - we had her do a trial which we really liked and on the day of the wedding, she came earlier to get us started - the hair and makeup lasted the whole night while also feeling comfortable and looking natural. I also appreciated her calming demeanor.

I used ModelBride for my hair and make-up and both Beth and Lori were amazing. Beth came to my apartment in less than ideal weather conditions for my trial and was great in showing me several styles based on what I was looking for. I also like fairly natural make-up, and Beth did a great job giving me beautiful make-up but with a look I was comfortable with.

On the day of the wedding, Beth and Lori both came as early as we could get to the venue. They worked with everyone's style and preferences to make all my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride stunning! They were very professional but also made the experience fun :)

When I first started wedding planning I was a little overwhelmed when I realized the price of bridal hair and make up in general, but ModelBride is worth every penny of it. My hair and make up were even still in place day 2! I would highly recommend them!

I echo many of the comments already posted about ModelBride. Beth did the makeup for my wedding in NYC. She arrived early on the day and ready to go. Getting ready for the bridal party went seamlessly. She is absolutely lovely and everyone looked beautiful. She listened to everyone's wishes and delivered what they wanted. I highly recommend Beth and ModelBride is a great value as well!

I had Model Bride for my wedding this Saturday and was thrilled with their services. I had nine bridesmaids, a mother, and mother-in-law and everyone felt the same way. The hair and makeup was beautifully done. The artists, Beth and Angela, really listened to
everyone's wishes and were very patient. They had a very calming effect on a busy day! They were professional, understanding and a wonderful addition to the day. Lori was very quick and professional and responded to emails quickly. I highly recommend Model Bride!

I cannot rave enough about ModelBride's services!!!!!! Leading up to the wedding I was in contact via phone and e-mail with Lori. She was very professional and always kept me informed. She was very patient the entire time we were in contact. Beth provided the hair and makeup services on my wedding day. I met Beth for a trial and knew immediately I was in great hands. Everyone in the bridal party said after the wedding how comfortable Beth made us feel and how she put us at ease right away. She truly listend to us. She takes pride in what she does. She was so patient and kind. I was thrilled with how I looked on my wedding day. I asked Beth for a very natural look and she delivered! I highly, highly recommend Beth's services and contacting ModelBride!!! So happy!!!!!! Thank you!

I am so grateful to everyone at Model Bride! From the very start, Melissa made me feel at ease. I was very confused about putting the whole look together, and she gave me the time and attention that I needed. Robin was my artist along with two other women for my bridal party/family. They were all so exceptional and professional. Everyone looked beautiful!
