Words cannot express the amazing job Sara Hernandez did on my wedding day!! She had done the wedding for my one my best friends back in April and I was OBSESSED!!! I immediately booked a trail and booked. Was one of the best decisions I made for myself for the wedding. She is personable and makes you feel comfortable right off the back. She did almost all my bridesmaids and mother of the bride/groom and everyone looked insanely gorgeous. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day and it was in large part to her. I'll forever be thankful my friend booked her as that is truly how I found her and stalked her Instagram. Her portfolio is amazing and I know I will use her for any event where I want to feel amazing. I wish I could give her 10 starts because she truly was everything and more you would want. Run don't walk if you're thinking of hiring Bonita Brides for your wedding makeup or even event! You will not regret it!!! LOVE!!!!!!

My wedding planner recommended Bonita Brides, and I'm so glad I took her advice and booked this team!! My stylist was Kaitlin and from my trial with her, I knew we were going to be a great fit! Kaitlin worked with me to come up with a hairstyle that would accommodate florals as well as a gajra, which is a traditional jewelry piece placed in the hair of Indian brides. I was a false lashes newbie and Kaitlin was instrumental in me learning how to be comfortable in false lashes! She gave me tips on how to get used to them during the trial and we worked together to figure out the right density of lashes so they felt natural, so on the wedding day I wasn't tripped up by them at all!

On the wedding day, we had hair & makeup for 5 members of the bridal party, 3 moms, and the Groom's styling all done by the Bonita Brides team. They arrived right on time and were such a fun group to be around all day. They helped me calm my nerves by chatting with me during setup, and then kept everyone in the bridal suite on schedule so we were even able to get hair & makeup done ahead of schedule and have extra time to relax before photos! Everyone's hair & makeup lasted through a super warm day, an outdoor ceremony, outfit changes for all the girls, and lots of dancing in warm weather!

I would highly recommend Bonita Brides and will definitely be reaching out to them in the future when I need glam for formal events!

Bonita Brides did a stunning job with me and my bridesmaids 💞 A special shoutout to Cassidy for her personalized approach! We blasted music and spoke candidly about the quirky vibe I was going for.

For hair: I knew my hair was flat, baby fine, soft etc. but I still wanted to do something amazing with my hair. I knew I’d be dancing and having DDR at my wedding. So I wanted something that would HOLD and WOW! So she was so real with me when she said my hair wasn’t going to a hold a curl and had other ideas- I am so happy I listened! Since I had long hair and wanted to still make a statement we decided to do a double rose bun 🌹🌹it was so cool because she curled my hair FIRST to give me the volume my hair desperately needed as she braided - then for added fun, the buns could be taken down into 2 AMAZING braids!!! She used a flat iron to curl the ends and my hair held all night!!!!
For make up:
We spoke candidly about how I wanted COLOR 🧡💙💛 she was so fun and down to experiment during our hair & make up trial. Day of, we decided to go with a sunset sparkle look and my bottom lashes were like an ocean. She mixed 2 different strip lashes to make my eyes pop and It was the coolest look ever.

I still can’t believe Cassidy’s magic 🪄 ✨ Heck, the pictures speak for themselves! Any bride looking to do something fun and different should reach out to these babes ✨👑👰‍♀️
