Serving the Hudson Valley, NYC, New Jersey, Connecticut, South Florida, Destination, and private estates weddings worldwide.

At Simply Elegant Bridal Beauty, we believe every bride deserves more than beautiful hair and makeup.

Our team specializes in creating timeless, elevated beauty that enhances your natural features while ensuring you still feel completely like yourself.

We understand that your wedding morning sets the tone for your entire day. The last thing you should be worrying about is whether your makeup will last, if your timeline is running behind, or if your beauty team understands your vision. That is where we come in. From the moment you inquire, our goal is to provide a seamless experience built on communication, professionalism, trust, and exceptional artistry. Whether your vision is soft and romantic, naturally radiant, effortlessly elegant, or polished and glamorous, our team works closely with you to create a look that feels authentic, timeless, and uniquely yours.

In addition to wedding day services, we also provide hair and makeup for engagement sessions, bridal portraits, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches, editorial shoots, special events, and private clients.

We proudly accommodate bridal parties of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to large scale luxury celebrations. Each hairstylist and makeup artist on our team commits to only one wedding per day, allowing every client to receive our full attention and highest level of service. With multiple talented teams available, we are able to accommodate several weddings and events on the same date while maintaining the personalized experience we are known for.

Meet Jessica St John| Founder, Lead Makeup Artist & Licensed Esthetician

Hi, I'm Jessica.

For more than 15 years, I have helped women feel beautiful during some of life's most important milestones. What started as a passion for beauty eventually became a calling and the foundation of Simply Elegant Bridal Beauty. As both a licensed esthetician and makeup artist, I believe beautiful makeup begins with beautiful skin. My signature style is polished, refined, and timeless. I love creating looks that photograph beautifully, wear flawlessly, and most importantly allow my clients to feel like the best version of themselves.

Over the years, I have learned that the most memorable part of my work is not the makeup itself. It is watching a bride see herself in the mirror and finally exhale. It is the confidence that comes from knowing she looks beautiful. It is the calm that comes from feeling supported. It is the joy of being fully present with the people she loves most.

That feeling is what inspired me to build a team of artists who not only possess exceptional talent, but who genuinely care about the experience they create. Every artist on our team was selected because they bring professionalism, kindness, positive energy, and a calming presence into the room. We understand that while beautiful hair and makeup are important, how you feel throughout the process matters just as much.

Whether you are celebrating at a private estate in the Hudson Valley, a luxury venue in New York City, a coastal destination wedding, or an intimate gathering with your closest loved ones, it is truly an honor to be part of your story.
