I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

Hi, I’m Sara, owner and lead artist of Sara Elizabeth Artistry. My love for makeup started with my own insecurities growing up, but it quickly became an incredible way for me to help others feel beautiful and confident. Though I first pursued nursing, I realized my true passion was in working with women. For over three years, I’ve had the joy of working with brides from all walks of life. I LOVE seeing the smiles and ecstatic reactions when you look in the mirror! I’m all about making your wedding day stress-free, FUN and run on time. When I’m not working, I’m a proud mom who loves traveling with my son and spending time with my cats!

Sara was so precise and paid attention to the smallest details. She found the perfect shades to flatter my skin tone, along with the entire bridal party. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her! My bridesmaids even said they have never felt more beautiful in their own skin. Sara is so fun to be around. Not only was her work a 10/10, but her personality is a 10/10 as well. She kept conversations going, she joked around with everyone, and she had such a presence with the bridal party. I will always be thankful for her on my big day. It wouldn't have been as amazing without her!

Not long ago, I was studying to be an opera singer. Yup! Quite the career change, I know. Truthfully, I have loved makeup since I was 12 years old, when I saw my cousin get her makeup done for her wedding. From that point on, I knew that one day I wanted to make women feel as beautiful as she felt. The moment I do the "final reveal" is what I LIVE for ❤️ The moment when you feel absolutely beautiful; the moment that it all becomes real- you're getting married!

Rita and I worked with the same bride back in Spring of 2023 and reconnected soon after! I can tell you that our Bride was absolutely glowing in all of her portraits and she kept talking about how awesome it was to feel like best friends with her vendors especially Rita! She is fun, professional, and does a great job. Book her! You won’t regret it!

She made me feel so beautiful, is incredibly easy to talk to, kept me calm, and stayed on schedule. I loved the makeup so much I almost didn’t want to wash my face at the end of the night! She addressed all of my skin and hair concerns, had helpful tips to make everything last longer, and was great with all the different hair types she had to work with in my bridal party.

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.
