Thank you!

I had a great experience with D+A Bridal for my wedding day makeup and hair, done by Lina and Alex. They make a super duo! From the initial trial a week prior to the wedding day itself, their professionalism, friendliness, skill, and flexibility were truly outstanding.

They accommodated an at-home trial session prior to the wedding, which was a wonderful opportunity to discuss and experiment with different looks. I was particularly impressed by Lina's ability to perfectly blend the foundation color for my skin tone during the trial. As someone with brown skin, I know how challenging it can be to find a foundation color that matches perfectly. Lina and Alex patiently listened to my preferences and even suggested that I let the makeup and hair settle that evening, allowing me to text them my feedback, experience, and any changes I wanted to see on the wedding day.

Despite the early call time, they arrived promptly and fully prepared. Their willingness to adapt and customize the makeup and hair to my preferences on the day of the wedding was truly remarkable. The final result was a beautiful balance between natural and glamorous, perfectly complementing my dress and overall desired look. Their warm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for playing such an important role in creating the magical memories I will treasure forever.

Professional, nice and super talented!

D+A bridal is THE BEST. Professional, nice team, great products and really talented!

I mostly communicated with Desiree throughout the process and she was lovely and always prompt and thorough with her responses. I wasn‘t able to make the day and time usually offered for trials and they were able to fit me in for a time and day that worked better for me which was much appreciated. April and Lina were my hair and makeup artists and they were fantastic. As soon as I met them, I felt comfortable with them and knew I was in good hands. They asked me for a photo of my hair and makeup inspo and I was so impressed that it turned out exactly how I wanted it to. Leading up to the day, I got quick responses on questions I had as they came up, which was very helpful in the midst of the stress. The day of the wedding, April and Lina arrived right on time without any issues, and did a beautiful job on everyone. Plus everyone‘s hair and makeup lasted through the night!! They made me look and feel so beautiful. I was super happy with the results and I highly recommend D+A bridal.

Amazing job with hair & makeup!

Desiree and Alex styled my hair & makeup and that of my five bridesmaids for my wedding last year. As a person without much experience wearing makeup, they really listened to my preferences and I felt both beautifully natural and special on my wedding day. My husband commented that I looked exactly like myself, only elevated, which is just what I wanted. My hair, historically difficult to work with, came out exactly as I envisioned. Alex and Desiree are so friendly, flexible and kept me calm on the big day. Highly recommend!

I'm Desiree, or Dez for short! I'm a lover of all things beauty, and I especially love using makeup as a tool to complete a whole look.

I've been doing makeup professionally for almost a decade. I started out doing makeup for Benefit Cosmetics (so yes, I take eyebrows very seriously!), Nars Cosmetics, and Charlotte Tilbury. Since I've been freelancing, I have done celebrity and editorial makeup, but nothing quite compares to my love of bridal makeup. There is something so special to me to be making my clients feel their most beautiful on such an important day in their lives.

I truly love what I do! I can't wait to work with you.

Hi, I'm April!

With 12+ years of hairstyling experience, I am here to make your wedding dream hair become a reality. During the week, you can find me at Fig & Clover doing cut and color (and guess what? I offer a discount for our brides!). My favorite part of doing hair is definitely the styling aspect of it- whether it's creating the perfect beach wave, or polished updo. I love to get creative, and take pride in creating a unique look that is perfect for my brides' personality, and to compliment their wedding dress.

I love to laugh and have a great time, so it's no wonder that I love working weddings, and feel so honored to be chosen to be glamming up my clients on such a big day.
