Ahhh....more emails from fabulous brides! Love to see these in my inbox! 

Up Dos for I Dos was incredible to work with for my wedding! The stylist I had, Mindy, was very professional and we had a wonderful time with her. She styled a total of ten ladies, including myself, and everyone loved how their hair looked. I was impressed that we had no issues with running late and the day ran seamlessly. I was very happy with my hair and it was exactly what I wanted. I requested something a bit different from my hair trial and Mindy was able to execute it beautifully. She was so wonderful that my sister immediately asked if she was available for her wedding in May. Overall, Up Dos for I Dos was great with correspondence, very professional, and very talented. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day.

Thank you for everything!!!

The best things in life ~  a few sentences from a happy bride and a few snapshots of the happy bride and her girls! Thanks Jill! 

Hi Ashley,

This email is long overdue, but I wanted to say a huge thank you for ALL of your help with my wedding hairdo's! Belen did a great job with my hair as well as my mom's and bridesmaids on my wedding day and finished ahead of schedule. She was very relaxed and easy to work with and had some great ideas for the girls who weren't sure exactly what they wanted. Everyone was really happy with their hair and all the styles lasted the whole night!

I also wanted to thank you for being so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. You were always quick to respond and were very flexible. I especially appreciate your and Belen's patience with me at my first trial when I wasn't liking anything - I am so glad I came back for a second trial and found a hairstyle that I loved! I will definitely recommend you guys to all my friends getting married in the future!

I have attached a few pictures that show my hair as well as some of the bridesmaids' hair for you to see. Enjoy!

Thanks again,
Jill

June 5: Christine

On June 5th, Erica spent the afternoon in Baltimore to help Christine and her bridesmaids get ready! She provided both hair and make-up services for this warm summer wedding. Christine's ceremony and reception was held at the gorgeous Cloisters Castle. 

I loved Christine's color combination and her elegant style! Congrats Christine! We were so excited to be a part of your big day!

May 22: Kerry

Throw back to May...seems like forever ago for us! Wedding season was kicking off and Danielle and I headed to BWI to help Kerry and her super fun girls get ready for the big day! Amy Deputy captured the day perfectly! I throughouly enjoyed spending the afternoon with these girls as they were all unique and really wanted their personalities to glow with each hair and make-up look.

I was so happy with Ashley and Danielle. I hired Updos for my wedding on May 22nd. My 8 bridesmaids, Mom, flower girl, and I all received star treatment. Ashley and Danielle came promptly to the hotel where we got ready and were so friendly. The women in my party are all of unique style, and it was important to me that they felt just as beautiful as I did. I told them that they could style their hair and makeup any way they liked. They are the most important women in my life- I wanted them each to shine rather than look identical to each other. Ashley and Danielle worked with everyone to give them just the look they wanted. I was able to have a trial with Ashley and Danielle before my wedding where we tried out different looks- I am glad I did. I showed Ashley a picture of a hairstyle that I liked, and she made it work for my hair length and my veil. We were so relaxed and calm and truly enjoyed the entire experience. I received tons of compliments on my hair and makeup and it really made my pictures spectacular. Even the false eyelashes (something I had never indulged in!) made a huge difference. I would recommend Ashley and team for any occasion where you need to look your best!

Thanks again,
Kerry

Wow! 3 weekends in a row we get to work with the famous D.Bryant! We also were able to work with one of our favorite wedding planners ~ Your Happily Ever After and we were able to prep the girls in the spacious suite at the Governor Calvert House! What a great way to start our day!

Beth did a fantastic job with Aislinn's airbrush make-up! I had a blast helping her entire bridal party with their hot hairstyles. Each girl had a unique hairstyle that fit her personality perfectly!

Here is a sneak peak of Aislinn. Check out Don's blog for more photos and a slideshow of this gorgeous wedding. I've never seen the room look better! Props to everyone who had a part of this big day!

Mindy and Amy headed downtown Baltimore to the 1840's Ballroom on August 21st! Here are a few pictures of the lovely ladies from the fabulous D.Bryant.

Ahhhhh....how stunning is her hair piece?

Hi Ashley,
I'm just now returning from my Honeymoon, but I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how awesome Amy and Mindy were at my wedding! They both showed up on time, and were completely professional (not to mention fun!) the whole time they were there. I had a HUGE wedding party, and was worried we'd run out of time (or steam!), but Amy and Mindy were machines and kept up the enthusiasm and good work for everyone. I had gotten NOVA eyelashes with Amy (I had them applied the Wednesday before my wedding), and I especially enjoyed getting to know her. I looked EXACTLY how I had pictured looking, and all the girls looked wonderful. I will definitely recommend your services to my sister, who is getting married next September.

I have also attached a few unprofessional pics that highlight the hair and make-up.
Thanks again for everything!
Kara

July 31: Susan

Danielle and I had the pleasure of working with Susan and her bridal party on July 31st. Danielle and I arrived to her in-law's gorgeous home in Davidsonville! I set up shop in the bathroom and Danielle worked in a guest room. The lighting was absolutely perfect for make-up applications! Susan wanted a sophisticated yet simple bun. I love the fullness but elegant design we created together! Her photographers EgoMedia also did a blog post with some pictures from the big day! Check them out here!

Hi Ashley,

I am so excited to send you some pictures of my "getting ready" photos on the day of my wedding!!! As you know, Mindy did an INCREDIBLE job preparing my hair color after our trial back in March and it was the perfect blonde I wanted. I can't wait to see her next month for my regular hair appointment to show her pictures as well! The morning of the big day was off to a great start when you and Danielle arrived to start for hair and make-up! I couldn't believe how it all got done in such fast time!! I have to especially thank Danielle for her patience.. she did a perfect job on my eyelashes and they made such the difference in my pictures as I knew they would! I could go on and on and say how wonderful everything was from start to finish, but I'd be typing this forever! :) Once again, thank you Ashley, Mindy and Danielle for making my day so special and creating memories that will last forever!!!

with so much thanks!!!!

love,

Susan
