This episode is close to my heart because it's something every bride has either wondered—or felt unsure asking about: What goes into the pricing of bridal hair and makeup? And why is it such an important investment?

I wanted to pull back the curtain and share what’s really behind the number. Because this is never just about a hairstyle or a flawless makeup look. This is about the experience you’re creating from the very first moment of your wedding day.

In this solo episode, I talk about what it truly means to work with a seasoned artist—the kind who can hold space for you emotionally, guide the flow of the morning, and help you feel confident, calm, and seen. I share why our kits are so much more than a collection of trendy products, and why travel is never just about mileage—it’s about intention, preparation, and showing up for you fully, long before the first brush touches your skin.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’re really investing in when it comes to bridal beauty—this one is for you. Whether you’re a bride, a planner, or a beauty professional yourself, I hope this episode helps you see things a little differently.

Because you deserve more than just beautiful photos. You deserve to feel supported, centered, and deeply cared for every step of the way.

Today’s episode is a conversation every bride deserves to hear. We're pulling back the curtain on what you're truly investing in when you book a professional hair and makeup artist for your wedding day.

Yes, you want to look beautiful — glowing skin, polished hair, all the things. But it's about so much more than the final look. It's about how you feel on the way there.

In this episode, I’m sharing what you're really paying for: experience, reliability, calm under pressure, product knowledge, timeline management, and that often-overlooked magic — presence. From clean brushes to a peaceful getting-ready space, from timeline prep to knowing when to step in (or step back), I’m walking you through all the unseen layers that go into making your wedding morning smooth, joyful, and unforgettable.

If you're searching for your beauty team — or just want to feel more confident in what to look for — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the red flags no one talks about when it comes to booking your bridal beauty team.

After twenty years in this industry, I’ve seen how often things go wrong—not because the bride didn’t care, but because no one told her what to look for. From last-minute cancellations to artists who just aren’t ready for the emotional weight of a wedding morning, these situations are more common than you think… and totally avoidable.

I’m walking you through ten things to watch for when choosing your hair and makeup team—things like communication, professionalism, collaboration, and presence. Because your glam shouldn’t just be pretty—it should feel grounded, supported, and aligned with you.

If you’re stepping into your bridal era with intention and want to feel calm, confident, and cared for on your big day, this episode is here to guide you.

In this episode, I’m sharing all about how to step into your bridal era with intention, starting with one of the most important decisions you'll make for your wedding day—your bridal beauty team.

Whether you’re newly engaged or you’ve already locked in your date, this episode will help you understand when to start thinking about booking your glam team and how to choose artists who will bring your vision to life.

I talk about how beauty isn’t just a checkbox to check off, but a part of the entire experience. I also dive into the timing, the energy, and the details you need to consider when selecting the right team for your big day.

If you want your wedding day beauty to feel seamless, thoughtful, and most importantly, you, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode is all about a word we hear constantly in the wedding industry: collaboration. It sounds beautiful—community, connection, supporting one another—but let’s be real: not every collab is what it claims to be.

In this episode, I’m getting honest about a recent situation with a high-profile client that left me feeling completely disrespected, and how it opened my eyes to the way the word “collaboration” is often misused in our industry. I’m breaking down what real collaboration should look like for bridal beauty professionals, and how to protect your time, energy, and worth when you're asked to work “for exposure.”

If you’ve ever been asked to donate your artistry, your time, or even your studio space in exchange for vague promises of “visibility,” this episode will resonate. It’s time we have real conversations about what it looks like to build trust and create genuine connections in the bridal world.
