A SHORT GUIDE

Where to
begin.

On your wedding morning, the studio comes to you: 13 artists in your suite, so the hours before you walk down the aisle feel calm, look like you, and stay on schedule. We were the first to bring the salon to the bride, in 2000, and twenty-six years on it’s still all we do.

A short tour of that morning: how it runs, where we’ll travel to reach you, and what twenty-six years of wedding mornings sound like in our brides’ own words.

A LETTER FROM THE STUDIO

The morning of your wedding should feel calm. We make sure it does.

We were the original on-site wedding hair and makeup company in the country. And Twenty-six years on, the promise hasn’t changed: you get ready in a calm, unhurried room, you look like yourself at your most beautiful, and you’re ready before the cameras arrive.

Your whole party is ready in about three hours on average (smaller parties often sooner, the largest a little longer), paced so nothing rushes your first look. We bring lashes, extensions, airbrush, and a second look for the reception if you’d like one. And if you don’t love what you see in the mirror, we’ll create the look you do.

THE MORNING OF

Any size party,
ready in about three hours.

A typical morning for a party of ten. The timeline scales, the calm doesn’t. You’ll have it in writing a week before, so the only thing left to do that morning is enjoy it.
