The designs were intricate, elegant, and beautifully executed, and they worked efficiently while making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The mehndi was a huge hit with our guests! So many people commented on how beautiful the designs were and how much fun they had getting their mehndi done. Malti and her team were warm, professional, patient, and wonderful to work with throughout the event. Thank you, Malti, for being part of such a special celebration and for helping make our daughter's wedding festivities so memorable. We would highly recommend Malti's Mehndi for weddings and other special occasions!

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding hair stylist for my wedding on 6/16/18. From the moment…read moreI met Theodora I knew I was in good hands. She was patient, kind and had a vision for my hair. Before I met Theodora, I was having a hard time finding a hair stylist that would do onsite for my wedding. She not only came onsite to do all my bridesmaids and myself she came on time and ready. Theodora had a created a timeline for each girl getting her hair done. This was beyond helpful to a busy bride. She is professional and the best to work with. I would highly recommend her, if you would like someone with talent, professionalism and a great personality.

First off, I'm selfishly reluctant to write this review, because I adore Theodora so much that I'm…read morescared that once everyone discovers this hidden gem, it'll take forever to book her for myself! LOL. However, luckily for me (and you all), she was recommended to me, and I feel it's only right to pay it forward...... Theodora has now served as my hairstylist for BOTH routine hair care (i.e. highlights, haircut) and bridal hairstyling for my big day. Routine Hair Care: Theodora always uses Redken bleach (for those curious gurus out there) for coloring, including for my full head of blonde highlights. She also does my layered haircuts. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten (including from random strangers on Michigan Avenue) ever since she's been doing my hair. The icing on the cake? It all was $95 and took two hours. UNBELIEVABLE. She does charge an extra $5-$10 for a blowdry depending on the type of hair you have. She also does a deep conditioning treatment (DIVINE!) for about $5. All her prices are extremely reasonable. Bridal Hairstyling: She offered a very affordable trial ($50) and was extremely flexible about meeting times. On the day of the wedding, Theodora showed up 15 minutes early. Yes, she travels to you! I cannot tell you how invaluable this service is on a hectic wedding day. She did blow-outs for both Moms and low chignons for the 4 bridesmaids. She also did a half up-do with curls for myself. It took her about 4 hours total to do all 7 of our heads. The hairstyles lasted all day and night and even through the following day for myself. The icing on the cake? It was all $450 total. Theodora is an extremely great listener and fully "gets" your ideas. Her real talent is taking the idea a notch further making your hair look THAT MUCH BETTER. Invaluable, I'm telling you. Everything about Theodora's hairstyling services is perfect. I can't recommend her enough! You won't be disappointed!

The Kid was interested in getting a scorpion henna with Polynesian tribal flair (due to the deep African history of the scorpion, and it's his zodiac). Thankfully, she was honest and said she's not able to do Polynesian scorpion design, but she did EXCELLENT with the other tribal one we showed her. He is so happy with the end result!! I got henna next and she did a good rendition of the picture I showed her. Both of us was done quickly, with what seemed and smelt like a quality paste all for a reasonable price. I'm excited to see how long the stain lasts!!

So happy we booked Blush Events to do hair/makeup for our wedding in July 2017! Prior to booking, I…read moretalked with Ben over email. He was very responsive, professional, and helpful. The booking process was very easy. In the beginning, I was unsure of some details - how many people, locations, etc - but Ben was very flexible with this. I was also pleased with how affordable Blush was compared to other hair/makeup services in Chicago. Raina did my hair/makeup trial a month or so before at Bleach and I was so impressed! On the day of, Raina and Jackie came to our hotel room to do hair/makeup for myself as well as my three bridesmaids. They did such an amazing job on all of us! Very talented and all of our hair/makeup stayed for the whole day/night. Would definitely recommend Blush Events to others!

We loved spending the morning of the wedding with them, everyone was comfortable and able to relax. I cannot recommend Ben and Blush Events enough. I now go to Ben's salon, Bleach on Lincoln Ave., for my cut and color.

Yvonne was truly one of my favorite vendors to work with throughout the entire wedding planning…read moreprocess. From our very first meeting, she listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand my vision instead of steering me in another direction. She was one of the only vendors who genuinely heard my ideas, valued my input, and helped bring them to life rather than trying to fit me into a standard package. We went back and forth on so many details, from flower choices, arrangements, and design ideas and she was incredibly patient every step of the way. Whenever I was torn between options, she helped guide me to a decision without ever making me feel pressured. Her creativity, experience, and honest advice were invaluable. When I walked into my ceremony and reception spaces, I was honestly speechless. Everything was even more beautiful than I had imagined. The florals and candles elevated the entire wedding and tied every detail together perfectly. I received countless compliments throughout the night, and even now people are still talking about how gorgeous everything looked. If you're looking for someone who truly listens, communicates well, and creates stunning work, Yvonne is the florist you want.

We absolutely loved working with Yvonne and YJ Decorating! She worked tirelessly to bring our…read morewedding vision to life and went above and beyond in every way. From the start, she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, spending many calls with us to make sure every detail was perfect. She sourced beautiful flowers and created stunning arrangements that matched our vision perfectly. The bridal bouquet looked exactly as we had imagined, and the bridesmaid flowers were gorgeous. She also made a lovely entryway display to welcome our guests, which set the tone for the entire celebration. When our outdoor plans changed because of rain, she was incredibly flexible and calm under pressure, allowing us to decide the morning of where to set up. She built our mandap beautifully for our first ceremony, and then completely transformed it into a breathtaking arch for our Western ceremony. The floral flip was seamless and so impressive! We're so grateful for her creativity, professionalism, and kindness. Everything came together beautifully thanks to her and her team. Highly recommend Yvonne and YJDecorating to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated florist and decorator!

He has an incredible eye for design and composition which I truly appreciated as an architect. Lukasz nailed the vibe that I was looking to capture on film even though I chose a technically challenging venue. He took the time to fully understand the objective, the look and schedule beforehand then provided valuable advice to ensure that everything flowed smoothly. What impressed me the most though is that Lukasz went above and beyond to ensure that I ended up with what I wanted. I was on a budget, but he agreed to stay a bit longer to capture the dancing and even took extra time to touch up my favorite photo. It's rare to find an individual so committed to this level of excellence. Lukasz takes great pride in his craft and is a very talented artist. He has a gift for capturing the best version of you in a natural and beautiful way. Looking at my wedding photos makes me so happy because I get to re-live that magical night and experience all of the joy again.

He had a good eye for details and grabbed a ton of great getting ready shots. The most fun was the photo session at a nearby forest preserve - Waterfall Glenn - he took all of us to the waterfall and got a bunch of fun and beautiful photos of the whole bridal party. One of the great parts about working with him was that it was clear he was having fun taking the photos too. Great at getting people's attention and coming up with poses. I didn't even have to send a shot list, we just told him where to be and when and he knew what to do. Very easy going and trustworthy photographer - you will not be disappointed with your experience or your photos!
