KIND WORDS FROM PAST BRIDEs

 

“I booked Chelsea for my makeup for me and my bridal party. Let me tell you, hands down, the best experience. She came early, had a schedule (and as a planner myself that was so helpful to keep everyone moving and on time) and she made such great conversation. She isn’t someone who just shows up and gets the job done, she cares and takes the time to get to know her clients. I couldn’t be more grateful to Chelsea for the work she did on my big day. I truly felt like a princess and that was all thanks to her. I opted for a more natural look as I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis and it looked amazing all thanks to her.” - Carolynn

“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful from the first moment until the last! She is so nice and truly cares about her clients. She is very prompt in responding to emails and was well organized. I loved that all her payment was available online and easily accessible. Chelsea helped to make my wedding day perfect, she even provided a touch up kit for the big day so I could fix my lip color if it smudged. She helped make a timeline for the morning and stuck to it perfectly, even a little ahead of time! Everyone looked amazing and I would hire Chelsea again in a heartbeat. I truly recommend her to anyone looking for a perfect natural glam look.” - Erica

 
 
 

THE PROCESS:

 

  • If you have not already, fill out the inquiry form through the link on the BOOK page to find out if we are available on your date! If we are available, we will send you an initial email and customized quote! We will then schedule an Initial Bridal Consultation Call, which can be booked through our Vagaro booking site.

  • We are elated that you would like us to be there on your special day! If you think we are a great match, and are happy with your quote, let us know and we will send you a proposal.

    Once you make your non-refundable initial deposit and complete your contract, you are booked! Dates are not held without a signed contract and paid non-refundable initial deposit (retainer).

  • Start any new beauty routines/regimens:

    We offer brow and lash services at our studio in Branford, CT and can refer you to many other beauty services (hair, skin, nails, etc.) in the area! It is important to start these services in advance, especially skin care and hair.

    Schedule an appointment with Chelsea for makeup, lash, or brow services before your wedding day

    Schedule an appointment with Allyssa (@stylesbyallyssa) for cut/color services before your wedding day

    Contact us to schedule your design appointment:

    Email us at beautybychelseadae@gmail.com with your availability for 2-4 months before your wedding. It is best to get this scheduled in advance.

  • Your design appointment (trial) will take place at our studio in Branford, CT. During your appointment, we will discuss your wedding elements, personal style, likes, dislikes, preferences, inspiration, and more! We will create a look that we feel meets your wants and needs, and adjust as we see fit. To be sure we truly get the look you want, we like to take our time during this appointment, so please plan to stay for 1-1.5 hours. We do take detailed notes and photos at the end so that we are able to achieve the exact same look on your wedding day.

  • If anything has changed (timing, location, services, etc.) since you completed your contract, please be sure to contact us as soon as possible.

    Follow us on Instagram @beautybychelseadae to stay in the loop!

  • 3-4 weeks before your wedding, we will schedule a Confirmation Call where we will discuss your final wedding day details. We will also send a confirmation email which will include a detailed day-of schedule along with a list of tips and reminders to assure everything goes smoothly on your wedding day.

    Two weeks before your wedding, final payment is due (we will include a reminder in your three-week email)! 

    You and your guests should review our tips and reminders sheet and start looking for inspiration photos on Instagram or Pinterest

  • The day is finally here and we are so excited to be a part of it! We will arrive at your location at the scheduled arrival time, unpack our kits, and get started! We will have the schedule on hand so we can work efficiently. Each makeup application takes about 30-40 minutes and we also add about 15 minutes at the end of the schedule for touchups so everyone is completely wedding ready! Finally, we will leave the bride with a touch-up kit that includes things like a lipstick touch-up, blotting papers, a makeup wipe, and more!
