Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

jadeskipper85 said:Does anyone have a recommendation for a good hairstylist in Indianapolis? My regular stylist is on vacation right when I need her, and every other place I've called is booked solid. Can you believe this? I’m absolutely desperate—I’m only a month away from my wedding and I still don't have someone to handle my hair.🙂

Maybe try giving them a call; you might get lucky. Personally, I probably wouldn't pick Victoria, but if you're out of options, maybe she'll work. 🤷Good luck, honey, I'm rooting for you!😍

I can't speak to Victoria's hairstyling skills, but when it comes to makeup, she is absolutely flawless. I actually booked her for my own wedding this September.

...I just don't quite get what's so "perfect" about her skills when she manages to pick the wrong foundation shade every single time...

It seems rather pointless to debate this at all; it's entirely subjective. I know several women who used her services and looked absolutely stunning. Honestly, some people should just study the portfolio or visit a Sephora for a trial run—not just with her, but with whoever they're considering—to make an informed choice.

I was actually hoping to get the Victoria model too, but I saw some talk on the forums about how it didn't show up on time and was delayed... which was a bit disappointing 😲

This is honestly such a letdown. I think I’m going to pass on her too; I simply can't deal with someone potentially failing to show up or completely ruining my makeup on the big day. That is truly the last thing I want to be worrying about.🙂

Exactly that... I just sent her an inquiry, but now I'm seeing all these negative reviews everywhere...
Anyway, does anyone have other makeup artist recommendations??? Doesn't have to be someone from Indianapolis or anything—I'm open to traveling. 🙂
If nothing else works out, I'm honestly ready to just call that one artist in New York City I've heard nothing but good things about. 🙂

Everyone keeps raving about Studio Chic (pretty sure that’s the name). I’m just starting my search, so I don't have a clue about pricing or anything yet—just out here gathering intel and reading reviews...

Also, does anyone have any thoughts on the Glass salon? Couldn't find anything about them on the previous pages.

So, do the girls from Studio Chic actually come over to the house???
At least the makeup artist? 😁

No, she doesn't do house calls. I actually asked her because I was hoping to have my makeup done at home, but apparently not. My appointment is set for September 1st, so if you don't have a wedding scheduled before then, I'll let you know how everything turns out.😍😍

One bride I worked with for her wedding mentioned that Helen did her makeup. I didn't get a chance to ask if she was actually happy with the results, but from what I could see, the look held up perfectly until morning. 🤷

My apologies, Zachary Martin10, but that woman actually lives in Seville; I highly doubt she’d be flying all the way to the States just to do someone's makeup at a decent rate. 🤣
Find someone local and get it sorted! 😉

I'm such an idiot 😂 I didn't even realize

😂 Well, I finally figured it out!!! 😁
I’m currently on the hunt for a new makeup artist myself; the girl I was actually counting on just found out she's pregnant, and of course, her due date falls right during my big day... so now I'm left scrambling a bit. Hopefully, someone talented crosses my path soon! 🙂

Victoria did my makeup once. She was about ten minutes late, I guess, but she actually did a pretty great job. 🙂

Well, see? I'm just glad it turned out well for you. 😁

So, I know this girl Jane, and honestly? She’s absolutely killing it. She’s from somewhere out in the Midwest—just a total gem. About two years ago, she did my makeup for the first time, and ever since then, she’s been my absolute go-to. I actually tried out two other stylists after that, but let's be real, they just didn't compare. She’s hands down the best! If anyone is looking for her number, just hit me up!

What really gets to me is that she does her makeup flawlessly—it’s exactly my style, honestly perfect. I'm actually enrolled in an esthetics program in Los Angeles and can hold my own with a brush, but for some reason, I just can't wrap my head around doing it myself that day. Even if it weren't a special occasion, I wouldn't dream of doing it. It's driving me crazy... I keep obsessing over whether she'll actually show up, even though we've already settled the details. 🙂

Well, my big day isn't until May next year... but honestly, I need someone who travels to you. I'm not living in a major hub like Chicago and I really don't plan on traveling anywhere that day... so ladies, if you have a go-to person... please send recommendations my way—and yes, I expect the full honest truth 🙂

Kimberly Alvarez8, I'm also five months along. 😍

Ladies, who did you guys end up booking for photography and the band?
