Lauren was absolutely AMAZING for my wedding day makeup! I trusted her and her vision completely and she gave me the exact makeup look that I was hoping for. She was so kind to all of my girls and made the morning an absolute breeze for me even with the craziness of the wedding prep! I can't recommend her enough!

AWARD WINNER

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

Based out of Tampa FL, Lauren Arlene Bridal offers hair and makeup services for weddings and other milestone occasions. Owner Lauren is happy to travel to couples getting married outside of her local area and is available to work on site. Lauren credits her love of hairstyling to her big sister. She taught Lauren how to curl her hair, and Lauren instantly fell in love with the work, eventually leading her to open Lauren Arlene Bridal. To return the favor, Lauren took care of her sister's hair and makeup on her own big day. Lauren can start the wedding hairstyling process with an initial trial session. At this appointment, you can work with Lauren to decide on your dream look, whether you want loose, romantic curls or a classic updo. Lauren is also happy to create unique braided looks, and can finish the look with fresh flowers or other accessories. She's able to cut hair, too, if you'd prefer a more drastic change before the big day. This professional's services are offered to the wedding party, including flower girls and mothers-of-the-couple, so that everyone can look their best.

I am sure at this point if you are reading this review you have probably read a lot of others and looked at a lot of vendors but let me help you STOP and HIRE YOUR MAKEUP ARTIST. I...

live in South Carolina so I had never met Lauren before my wedding day but she was such a light and amazing presence to have the morning of my wedding day. I will forever try to replicate the makeup look that she did for me. I usually never wear makeup so I didn't have a lot of helpful descriptions to give her but she knows how to make you feel like the most amazing version of yourself- she knows how to highlight and just amplify your natural beauty. So if you didn't stop at the beginning of my review just send the message to her it is time to do that now. Side note she will travel to wherever you are getting married and make YOU and ALL OF YOUR GIRLS SHINE!! THANK YOU GIRL!
