Marry Me Tampa Bay curates the below reviews from real couples whom we’ve personally interviewed. As Tampa Bay’s most trusted wedding planning resource, these reviews are 100% accurate and aren’t created by fake accounts.
I used inspiration from another wedding I was in, as well as my veil. I loved the makeup I had done at my best friend’s wedding, and then I had a long, heavy veil, so I wanted it attached to a low bun.
I loved, loved, loved Adore Bridal! Their reviews and Instagram were great, but I had a call with Kelcey, and we clicked right away. She set me up with Kailyn, who was also great. We did two previews, and she was such a good listener and ended up being such a special part of the day!
“My wedding hair inspiration was Hollywood wave curls and my makeup inspiration I chose from Pinterest. I wanted a soft natural look but still made it glam.
The most memorable moments of our wedding were being able to get ready with all of our best fiends/family, getting to enjoy, and take in the special day together. We had the best bridal party and we couldn’t have asked for more! Everyone looked so beautiful/handsome! We definitely clean up nice!”
“My wedding day hair and makeup inspiration was ‘old Hollywood’ glam. I wanted lots of volume on my hair, and Adore Bridal Hair and Makeup did a fantastic job!
For makeup, I wanted to go with natural tones and a smoky eye. After my initial phone call with Adore Bridal, I knew they were the perfect fit for me and my bridesmaids. They worked with my indecisiveness and made me feel so beautiful. My bridesmaids all looked gorgeous as well! I was very satisfied with their services.”
“My makeup was natural, but with a bold purple lip and a rainbow eyeshadow. Each bridesmaid wore a different colored dress, and their eyeshadow matched the dress color. I chose Adore Bridal because they provided the most information during our initial phone call. I had a list of questions ready to go, and I didn’t need to ask any of them because they had already answered everything. It felt like they wanted to work with me right from the beginning. They were confident in their ability to use colored eyeshadow and were excited that I wanted something unique.
My hair is naturally curly, so I wanted to curl my own hair. But then I wanted Adore to style it without messing up the curls. I felt incredibly comfortable with them, and during the trial, they really demonstrated they know how to work with curly hair and how to enhance it.”
“I really wanted a very natural glam look, which Adore Bridal nailed. My favorite part was that they put in my clip-in extensions and gave me my dream, loose fishtail braid.”
“For my makeup, I wanted to keep it simple and more on the natural side. For my hair, I went with a classic Hollywood wave. This combination fit our overall theme perfectly.
I hired Adore Bridal because their style aligned with my vision. They listened to what I wanted and brought it to life flawlessly. I was very pleased with how everything turned out.”
“My makeup inspiration was a glowy, natural look with shades I know complement my coloring. I wanted to look like me, just elevated! For hair, I wanted curls, some embellishment (a clip or something), and it to be pulled back from my face.
Adore Bridal was amazing! I loved their portfolio, and they were a recommended vendor by our planner MDP Events. Their studio is in Tampa, which made it easy to do my trial when I was in town visiting family. Everyone who got their makeup done looked incredible the day of. The makeup artists and hairstylists were just wonderful people. We had so much fun with them when getting ready.”
“I chose Adore Bridal because I loved their portfolio, and family friends have used them before. For Raymond James Stadium, my hair inspiration was my mother’s dress. I knew I wanted a half-up, half-down look that incorporated pearls to match the dress.
For The Hotel Zamora, my everyday look was the hair and makeup inspiration. This day was supposed to be more fun and relaxed, so I wanted to feel myself. For each day, I only had eyeshadow and lashes on for makeup, nothing more. This was to help me feel comfortable in my own skin, as I do not typically wear makeup on my face.
Adore Bridal listened to every request, and I was beyond happy with the outcome! Beyond their services, they were so kind, and it felt like I had known them my whole life.”
“Texture and details have always been important to me, so I wanted my dress to have lots of heavy detail and beading as well as floral detail. I wanted something textured, beaded, floral, form-fitting, and unique.
I have worked with Adore Bridal Hair and Makeup many times for branding shoots and love their work and their team! They are the best!”
“I was going for the boho look. Based on what I was looking for, my planner suggested Adore Bridal.
After my trial, I was sold. They took my inspiration pictures and turned them into reality. My hair could not have been more me. On the wedding day, I truly felt like a mermaid bride.”
“My wedding day beauty inspiration was to highlight my natural features through a soft and natural glam. For hair, I really wanted to feel like myself, so I chose a slick back low bun, which is a classic style I tend to wear.
I hired Adore Bridal initially based on their customer service and ability to accommodate my large bridal party. They were super responsive prior to me solidifying my choice and was able to answer any question I had. Through the bridal trial I did all the way up to the wedding day, my stylists were not only able to bring to life what I envisioned and the changes I wanted to incorporate to look my best, but also provided support and positivity on my wedding morning that made the experience unforgettable.”
“My goal was to feel like the best version of myself with a natural, effortless look that enhanced my features. I wanted my makeup and overall style to feel timeless, while also feeling comfortable and true to who I am.
We chose Adore Bridal for hair services based on our planners’ recommendation and their beautiful work on Instagram. Their team was professional, attentive, and made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.”
“The inspiration was full glam with neutrals for my makeup and half up, half down for hair. I was referred to Adore Bridal by a friend, and their work is beautiful! From day one, I was impressed. The owner, Kelcey Yaeger, is amazing, and I loved the girls who did my hair and makeup. They did a fantastic job.”
“My wedding day beauty inspiration was natural glam. I wanted to look like the best version of myself—elegant, glowing, and polished while still feeling like myself. My goal was a timeless bridal look that enhanced my natural features rather than covering them up.
I hired Adore Bridal based on their outstanding reviews and reputation. From the beginning, they were professional, attentive, and easy to work with. Their service was amazing and truly exceeded all of my expectations. They did more than I could have hoped for, taking the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and bringing my vision to life perfectly.
On my wedding day, they made me feel beautiful, confident, and truly like a princess. I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup. The team listened to exactly what I wanted. I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup, and the look lasted beautifully throughout the entire day and night.”
“It was important to look like myself. I have been part of other weddings in the past that made me too done up that even Chris couldn’t recognize me.
I specifically chose Adore Bridal because of the reviews I read on Marry Me Tampa Bay from brides reporting the same concern. When I spoke with Kelcey Yaeger on the phone, she assured me that this was something they take pride in: a natural look that doesn’t change the bride. I loved the airbrush makeup technique that was used. I don’t wear a lot of makeup or do much with my long, stick-straight natural hair, so I trusted my hair and makeup artist to take the reins. They were so easy to work with and even gave me the great idea of using extensions to help my hair hold a curl, which I would never have thought of, and it truly made all the difference. Chris was extremely happy with how I looked and even mentioned it multiple times. It also looked amazing in photos!”
“I chose Adore Bridal because their social media showed some amazing, beautiful brides. I got most of my wedding-day inspiration from their accounts.
Their makeup was gorgeous and glam but not too much, and the hairstyles I saw on their social media showed a ton of variety and talent. I incorporated my personality into my dress and hairstyles; I changed my hair for the reception. 10/10 recommend doing this!”
“My wedding hair and makeup inspiration wasn’t centered around a particular trend or celebrity. It was about how I wanted to feel. As a mom of two, there have been seasons where I’ve struggled to truly see my own beauty. Throughout our relationship, Austin has consistently made me feel more beautiful, confident, and loved than I ever have before. For years, I hid behind my long hair and rarely wore it up. On our wedding day, I chose an elegant updo because it symbolized so much more than a hairstyle. It represented the confidence Austin has helped me discover. The confidence to embrace who I am as a woman, a mother, and now, his wife.
When it came to makeup, I knew I wanted full glam, and the Adore Bridal team absolutely delivered! I told them not to be afraid to go all out, and they somehow created a look that made me feel like the very best version of myself. Beyond their incredible talent, they brought such positive energy to the getting-ready suite, constantly encouraging me and making the entire morning feel joyful and relaxed. By the end of the night, my hair and makeup still looked just as beautiful as when I walked out the door that morning. More importantly, when I look back at our photos, I don’t just see a beautiful hairstyle or flawless makeup. I see a bride who felt completely confident, deeply loved, and genuinely herself.”
“I wanted a look that was elegant and elevated to match the venue. Adore Bridal went above and beyond my expectations. They were on time and professional, and they felt like friends getting ready with us.
They also had a content creator filming the get-ready portion, so seeing the final results posted was amazing. I didn’t even consider hiring a content creator to capture the day’s highlights, since I opted not to hire a videographer. It was well worth the money!”
I was going for a timeless and classic feel for my wedding hair and makeup. My goal, especially with my makeup, was to feel like an elevated version of myself.
I hired Adore Bridal for my wedding hair and bridesmaid hair and makeup because they had fantastic reviews online. Their team made us feel very comfortable while getting ready and everyone looked beautiful! My mom did my makeup for my wedding day, which was a special moment for both of us.
I really love makeup and a full glam look, so I was very excited to work with Adore Bridal. I wanted a very old-school glamor look, so I went with Hollywood waves for hair. I also love a bold lip, so we went with something very pink and bright. We had a great time during our makeup and hair trial!
I was a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding about a year before our wedding, and she used Adore Bridal. I had such a wonderful experience with them that I messaged them the week afterward and booked them for my wedding too. They are great! Not only are they very skilled, but they are all so friendly and nice! Genuinely had a great experience with them.
Adore Bridal Hair & Makeup came highly recommended to us by the venue. Funny enough, Taylor, who did my hair, is one of my dressage students, and her husband is the farrier for my horses! It was so incredibly special to spend the morning having my hair and makeup done by a friend and her amazing team. All of my bridesmaids, as well as the mothers, looked absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend Adore Bridal enough!
My hair and makeup inspiration was to be as natural and timeless as possible, yet with a little glam to stand out.
I chose Adore Bridal Hair and Makeup not only because they have a massive support team, but because at my trial, they listened to me so well. I’ve had my makeup done so many times and left disappointed, so I was nervous for my wedding day look. But at Adore, my makeup looked just like me with a touch of glam. Plus, the girls are so fun.
My bridal beauty inspiration was Old Hollywood glam.
Kelcey and Kassie from Adore Bridal are not only amazing human beings but they are also masters at their craft. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day.
I wanted something timeless and elegant, but I wanted to make sure I looked like myself. I chose to wear my hair down in glam waves and did a soft glam makeup look.
Adore Bridal did an initial consult call before I booked with them, and this is what made me want to hire them immediately. Kassie made the initial call with me and was so kind as to answer all the questions I had. She ended up doing my hair for trial day and wedding day, and it was so nice to know and talk to a familiar face. Kassie made me and all my girls feel comfortable and she was so much fun!
