Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Nina for your bridal and bridal party makeup! Nina is incredibly skilled and passionate about the work she does. She asks thoughtful questions to make sure she understands not just how you want to look on your wedding day, but how you want to feel as well. She has an unmatched ability to accentuate your natural features and make you feel like a completely polished and glowing version of yourself. Not to mention, her personality and spirit are contagious. I felt so comfortable throughout our trial, and Nina made it so easy to ask questions and collaborate on how I felt about each step. I personally wanted my makeup on the natural side, and Nina was able to give me the exact look I hoped for--glowy and radiant while still looking like myself. On the day of the wedding, my bridal party was raving about Nina as well. Everyone felt exactly like I did about their makeup--they looked and felt beautiful and confident and felt that Nina was incredible to work with. Even my friends who do not usually wear any makeup loved working with Nina and felt that she really heard what they were asking for, and they all felt so beautiful! I am eternally grateful I was connected to Nina for my bridal makeup. If you have a chance to work with her, run don't walk! I will be using her for any event I need makeup for in the future!

Most importantly, her work speaks for itself! I trusted Elena to guide me through the hair and makeup process and was left feeling incredibly confident in myself and beautiful!

  • Serves Wheeling, IL

My name is Torie Conn. I work full-time as a Professional Makeup Artist in Chicago, and wherever my clients take me. With over a decade of experience working in commercial, editorial, and Film/TV, my passion is Bridal Makeup. I adore forming a relationship with my brides, focused on one of the most important days of their live. My one on one process allows my brides and I to create a timeless beauty look for their special day. My goal is to make my brides look and feel like the best version of themselves!

From my trial, to rehearsal dinner, to wedding day, Torie made me feel like my most beautiful, best self. 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!

We Only Do Pretty 

5.0

  • Starts at $90 per person
  • Serves Wheeling, IL

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!

Abbey listened attentively to my mom's vision for her hair and makeup and delivered a stunning, age-appropriate look that had my mother beaming with joy the entire day. The extra care and attention Abbey showed my mom meant the world on our special day. My mother looked so radiant, polished and most importantly, like herself.

Erin Graham Hair 

5.0

  • Serves Wheeling, IL

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.

Erin immediately made me feel comfortable from the first email to the final touches on my hair. She was receptive of initial ideas and feedback along the way, explained why some styles would or wouldn't work with my hair, and then talked me through her decisions during my trial. She made everyone smile, laugh, and love their hair. I recommend her though and through!

Welcome to So Beautiful Bridal, your premier source for your beauty needs. There is nothing more captivating than a woman that walks into a room with confidence and poise.

We want you to look and feel your best on your wedding day. We would be honored to let our 30+ years of experience work for you.

I had Suzana Roman for my bridal makeup in July 2024. She not only did an AMAZING job with the makeup, but was only communicative, professional, and punctual. I had a large bridal party with 10 people (including me) wanting makeup. I also had a variety of needs (full face, airbrush, just eye makeup, just lashes, etc.). She did an amazing job making my entire party feel comfortable with their makeup choices and highlighting their wants and requests. She was also extremely punctual given the amount of women that needed makeup! Most of my bridal party wears minimal makeup and she did a great job highlighting their natural makeup looks while still making them "photo ready". All women were 100% satisfied with their makeup looks and all were pleasantly surprised with the cost. AND the makeup stayed on ALL day - through tears, the heat, and dancing! Suzanna was friendly, professional, and funny! She was a joy to work with and I recommend hiring her for your wedding or any other big event where you need makeup!

The salon in the west loop is a great spot; from my trial to my wedding day, everything was perfect! My artist Sarah was absolutely incredible. I felt like an absolute goddess on my special day, and I didn’t touch up my makeup one single time, because it was just so perfect! My hair, normally thin, was absolutely transformed. I cannot say enough about how great both Sarah and Lo were. Hire them! :)

Joey Claeyssen Makeup Artistry 

5.0

  • Serves Wheeling, 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.

I hired Joey for myself and bridesmaids for my wedding. He and his assistant Gisele did an incredible job and ensured everyone looked and felt beautiful. Can’t recommend enough!
