Erin Smith Beauty Creations was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, considerate, and genuinely enthusiastic about making my vision come to life. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - their team of stylists, Erica, Mimi, and Leyli, demonstrated their masterful, adaptive skills by tailoring each look to enhance the individual features and natural beauty of myself, my bridesmaids, and even my young nieces. They were so efficient in getting us all camera-ready on time, and their collaborative approach put us all at ease.

Ann Krause was amazing — I truly can’t say enough good things! She listened so closely to my vision (even my slightly wild idea of adding glitter to my hair), and helped me create a look that felt completely “me.” She even helped me choose a hair piece that worked perfectly with my dress and served as a beautiful alternative to my veil for the reception. My makeup was absolute perfection — glamorous, but still natural. I felt stunning all day long. Between my trial and the wedding, Ann took all of my feedback to heart — adjusting the curl hold, adding more pins, and fine-tuning everything so it felt secure and photo-ready without being overdone. She was professional, warm, and completely tuned in to what I needed. I’d recommend Ann a thousand times over — she helped me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day.

I’m so grateful our wedding venue, Firehouse Chicago recommended Blush & Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding day hair! My venue recommended them and their list of vendors did not miss! I didn’t have a bridal party, but wanted to get ready with my mom and a couple friends. This was perfect as Blush & Braids was able to come out and do my wedding hair (only because I booked a friend of a friend for make-up before figuring out my hair) as well as hair and make-up for my mom and friends. Macy was our artist and she was incredible! I was blown away by her skills at my bridal trial and Macy did amazing on the day of the wedding! My Mom and friends loved their hair and makeup too! In addition, Macy was so fun to get ready with, she was calming, while also hyping us up for the big day. My wedding day was full of joy and ease and much like the rest of the day, Macy’s work was perfect, no notes! Thank you, Macy and Blush & Braids for being a part of the best day of our lives!

Audrey is incredible! I don’t know much about makeup- so I just told her what I was aiming for and put my trust in her. Needless to say, she surpassed my expectations. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did after she did my hair and makeup. She’s not only a talented stylist, but also a great person to work with.

    Chicago, IL
    • Team of 10

    We are not like the other beauty pros. It’s not about the latest trends or building our portfolio, but rather we approach every wedding with a simple focus: Allowing your true beauty to shine through, with a little extra oomph, on your big day. Let us help you feel like your most confident self as you celebrate the commitment between you and your partner.

    I cannot recommend Angelica highly enough! She was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly unmatched. Finding a great hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me since it can make or break your wedding photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my everyday look so it was important for me to find an artist that would keep my makeup soft and glowy while also photographing well. Angelica took the time to understand my vision, perfectly blending it with her expertise to create a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Angelica was also extremely flexible and understanding. During my trial, we planned big Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup. On my wedding day, I decided to change it up and go with an updo to better compliment my low back dress. She didn’t even question why I wanted to change it up. She truly made me feel so comfortable and confident. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in Florida along with all the dancing and happy tears! What stood out the most was her calming and friendly presence. On such an emotional day, having someone so kind and reassuring made all the difference. She even went above and beyond to make sure my mother, sister and mother in law looked stunning as well. She also brought along a content creator (with my permission) talk about having a full celebrity moment! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free on your special day, look no further than Angelica. She truly is exceptional at what she does!

      Erin Graham is a freelance hairstylist, educator, and consultant based in Chicago and working everywhere. The daughter of two 9-5 weekend warriors, no one really knows where Erin gets all of her creativity from. She got her start at a young age taking art classes, continuing to take classes in high school, moving on to college for a BFA in painting when after a few years she (funny story) discovered cosmetology school in 2007. Erin specializes in luxury en-suite + on-location hair services.

      The entire experience was 10/10. Our hair team was incredibly organized and accommodating, which was especially important since we were traveling from out of state. They coordinated our pre-wedding trials in a way that aligned perfectly with other vendor meetings so we could fit everything into one trip.They also provided a curly hair specialist, which was extremely important to us, and the results were amazing. On the wedding day, they brought multiple stylists who were punctual, efficient, and allowed plenty of time for touch-ups so everyone looked their best before photos. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better hair team.

      5.0

      Chicago, IL

        A love for the creative and performing arts, three years of collegiate studio art training, and a BA in Dance Performance lead to Joey’s obsession with makeup artistry. His approach to makeup application is similar to a painter and his canvas - working in layers, stroke by stroke, to find a beautiful end result. Beauty comes in all forms: a simple flick of eyeliner, an enhanced complexion, or full-on glam. It is Joey’s passion to identify the “perfect” look for the occasion and work with his clients to create a truly beautiful result that leaves them feeling their best.

        Joey was truly one of the highlights of my wedding day. From the moment we met for my trial, I knew I was in the best hands. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is such a warm, calming, and easy presence to be around. I immediately felt how much care and intention he brings to his work. He listened closely and made sure my bridal look felt exactly like me, just elevated. On the wedding day, that care continued tenfold. Honestly, one of my favorite parts of getting ready was sitting in his chair, chatting, and soaking in the moment while he worked his magic. He made me feel like the most beautiful, glowy, confident, fully myself version of a bride. Elevated and radiant. Joey also brought an amazing team of artists who were just as lovely and professional. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law were blown away by both the talent and the experience. The skill level is truly top tier. I cannot recommend Joey enough. If you want to feel stunning, confident, and completely taken care of on your wedding day, he is your person.

Her work is truly amazing she is a real artist and a professional. Her standards are clearly high, and it shows in every detail of her work.

        Eliora, Kristin and Lauren come to you with too many years of experience to count (it would give away our ages!) in the hair and makeup industry. All professionals trained with various backgrounds (from theater to photography), they came together because they had the same idea for a bridal team: talent, professionalism, customer service, get the job done ON TIME and leave with everyone smiling.

        We had a great experience with We Only Do Pretty! We had them do hair and makeup for me (the bride), all the bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and the flower girl and everyone loved how their hair and makeup turned out. I prefer a more natural look and Eliora and Taylor did an amazing job with the very limited input I provided. I have been in several weddings and this was by far the most relaxed getting ready I've had and we were done early! Would definitely recommend We Only Do Pretty!

During my trial, she gave me some amazing recommendations that transformed my skin throughout the months before wedding day. Come rehearsal and wedding day, she listened very intently to some of the slight changes I wanted to make and executed flawlessly. I have never felt prettier, but also still myself, than I did on my wedding day. And that makeup LASTED ALL NIGHT. And to top it all off, she is such a joyful presence. I was very intentional about wanting to hire vendors who added a positive presence to the day and Torie did just that. I would recommend her a million times over!
