DREAM Bridal Glam Team!!

I could not have been happier with my decision to book Modern Bridal Studio for my wedding day. They were extremely professional, timely, talented, and very experienced! Carolyn (owner) and all of her stylists (Amina and Vicky) went above and beyond! My entire bridal party was VERY happy with the overall experience. Definitely recommend!!

Exciting, celebratory, yet also calm and relaxed

Carolyn was an absolute gem to work with. From the day of the trial, I knew she understood our journey as a couple and wedding vision. She has a way with people that cannot be put into words--authentic, sincere and genuine in her presence. On the wedding day, we had family and friends in and out of the bridal suite, celebrating, talking, relaxing---they excitedly wanted to be a part of everything. Carolyn took it all in with stride, remaining calm and relaxed, focused on her work yet also so kind with family/friends. I am sure the rest of her team is the same as I would trust anyone that Carolyn hires to represent her business.
