Hi! My name is Natalie and first I’d like to say congratulations on your engagement! This is such an exciting time and I’m thankful for your consideration to work with you on your wedding day! I’ve always loved hair and makeup but being able to share in your big day is my passion! I believe a bride should look like her most beautiful self on her wedding day with an extra little flair! I look forward to hearing your ideas and creating your perfect curated wedding look for you and your bridal party!

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie was a dream on my wedding day. We were unable to do a formal trial due to unforeseen circumstances. For my bridal photos I had a different make up artist- Natalie took a lot of time going over inspo photos and my bridal portraits to recreate the look. Safe to say her creation was 10000x better than the trial. My hair was perfect and stayed all night without a million Bobby pins. My make up was beautiful, didn’t feel caked on, and photographed well. Even more importantly she was spot on her scheduling. I had 8 girls who needed make up. She brought another artist and they were able to do everyone in 3.5 hours (including me and my hair). She was a fun presence while getting ready. So grateful to have her part of my day and would highly recommend her!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence. She also made sure that everyone felt beautiful and was more than willing to change anything anyone didn't like. I cannot recommend her enough she is beyond talented and over all a very genuine and kind person!
