Perfection!

I had the pleasure of working with Luminous Bride for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, they delivered everything I envisioned. I wanted my bridal party and myself to look naturally beautiful and true to ourselves, and Luminous Bride achieved that perfectly.

Jules, the makeup artist and owner, was fantastic. She was incredibly communicative throughout the process, providing helpful advice on lipstick colors and answering all my questions with ease. The team was not only professional but also so much fun to be around. They knew exactly how to bring out the best in each of us, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.

We even had them stay longer for touch-ups, and they were absolutely everywhere, not just focused on hair and makeup but also helping ensure our dresses were perfectly in place and not creased. The hair artist did an excellent job setting up my veil—truly top-notch service.

I highly recommend Luminous Bride for anyone looking to feel effortlessly beautiful and well cared for on their special day!

Jules is incredible!

To put it simply, Jules is absolutely incredible. When considering multiple makeup artists for my wedding day, it was hard to find someone that not only listened but also gave great recommendations on how to prep before the day of and which shades/colors would like the best with a fair skin tone. Jules made me feel so beautiful, calmed my nerves the day of and made sure I loved every color, shade and style of the makeup. I'm so grateful for her - she not only calmed my nerves on my wedding day, she made me feel like a movie star. Thank you Jules!

Look no further!

Rosie did a phenomenal job on my makeup for my wedding. I don’t wear a lot of makeup at all so I was afraid of looking weird with bridal makeup. She did a natural look that enhanced my features and I could not have been more satisfied! Rosie and her assistant showed up on time (wedding was early!) and got through 6 girls with a little time to spare! They were both friendly and a pleasure to work with!
Booking was convenient and easy. Jules is incredibly friendly and thorough. I highly recommend The Luminous Bride, you will not be disappointed!
