Before I got deep into wedding planning, I started following a few wedding vendors on social media, and saw Drea's name come up in every other South Asian wedding post. Her brides always look stunning and flawless, and I had decided that if she was available, I would book her for my big day.
As soon as we secured our venue and date, Drea was the first vendor I contacted. Her work speaks for itself, and as soon as she said she was available the day of my wedding, I immediately booked her. I first met Drea (and her darling pup Roddy) for my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot. She helped me pick hair extensions, and was also spot on recommending the right color match for me using a few photos I sent to her for reference. She is so friendly, and such a sweet person to talk to! I didn't have a specific look in mind, but the makeup Drea did complemented me so well, and the photographs were simply stunning.
Fast forward to my wedding day- I booked my makeup as well as both moms' makeup with Drea. I wore two outfits- a white dress for my ceremony and a lehenga for my reception, and wanted to change my hair for the second look. As always, Drea did an amazing job with my makeup for the wedding ceremony, she made me look better than I ever imagined! The two hours I spent in her chair went by so quickly! Per my request, she had my hair up in a low updo, and even though it was windy during my first look, my hair was perfect and did not need any touching up. Drea also left me lipstick to touch up in case I needed it, which I used just before my ceremony. When I had to get into my second outfit, Drea had very little time to change my look, and so she prepped everything she needed early so that we stayed on schedule. She completely changed my hair, touched up my makeup, and helped me get dressed in record time! Again, I loved everything she did, and received compliments all night!
The longevity of the hair and makeup is unparalleled- I cried, danced, and sweated throughout the day, but when I got back home at the end of the night, I still looked absolutely perfect!
Drea is an amazing person, she kept me calm, laughed with me, and we talked all through the session- I felt like we are old friends! I could not have chosen anyone better to be there for me on one of the most important days of my life.
Drea, keep doing what you do, and I wish you even more success in the future! I hope I can see you very soon, you are the absolute BEST! Thank you for everything read more
