Summer is the best!
Summer was absolutely amazing! From her genuinely sweet personality to her makeup application, I cannot say enough good things about her. She is very flexible in the products she provides and knowledge of the industry.
Summer is an extremely talented makeup artist!
Summer was the makeup artist for my wedding. She did my makeup, as well as several of my bridesmaids’. I have never felt as beautiful as I did after Summer did my makeup. During my trial run, she really took her time to figure out what was right for me (in fact she did half my face airbrush and the other half not just so I could decide between the two). She took very specific notes and when the big day came she did not disappoint. In fact, she exceeded my expectations. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and she made my look so natural, soft and sweet (just what I wanted). She makes for great company and is easy to talk to. She came to the hotel where all my girls were ready and was even early! I cannot give her a higher recommendation.
On-time, professional, easy to work with, the best in the business!
Summer was the very best for our wedding day! She was flexible, on time, and super easy to work with throughout the planning process–I knew when I hired Summer I wouldn’t have to worry about anything, which is exactly what I was looking for in a vendor. She accommodated our large wedding party, took each person’s individual requests, and most importantly, everyone (especially me) looked like ourselves when she was finished. I was nervous about airbrush makeup (I’m fair skin with freckles) and Summer made everything look very natural. Summer is so sweet, easy to talk to, and calmed my nerves on the wedding morning as we were all finishing up getting ready. She arrived very early in the morning to make sure we stayed on time and was able to travel to our house where we were getting ready. I’m so glad I hired her and would recommend her to anyone for a wedding, event, or a night out!
Summer is AMAZING, professional, and kind
Summer is truly an incredible makeup artist. During my makeup trial, she worked with me to make sure I had the coverage I wanted, then took notes and made me look even better for my wedding day! I would not have changed a single thing about my wedding day makeup. I was especially grateful for how well the makeup stayed throughout the day/night. I have very oily skin and usually have to touch up my makeup several times a day. I didn’t need to touch up Summer’s work even ONCE! She did leave some touch-up powder for me, but I never needed it. I felt so comfortable in the makeup (it wasn’t heavy at all), but I also felt like a princess. I will recommend Summer to every bride-to-be that asks (and even those that don’t haha).
Summer is amazing!
Boy did Summer make me feel gorgeous on my special day!! She did such an amazing job. She is so talented and listens to what you want done! Or in my case, I had no idea how I wanted my makeup done but she knew what to do with my skin type! I HIGHLY recommend Summer!!
Absolutely, positively amazing!!!
I cannot rave enough about how good of an experience I had with Summer as my makeup artist for my big day! She did such an amazing job on not just me, but my seven bridesmaids, my mama, and my mother-in-law. Everyone loved their makeup and looked absolutely amazing. Summer was on time, friendly, professional, and was able to customize the makeup to fit everyone’s individual needs to look their absolute best. She is worth every penny and more!

Bridal Makeup & Hair Booking Process
In today’s wedding climate, it is important to book your beauty services early on to ensure you can nail down your desired team for your big day. To book your wedding makeup and/or hair services, Summer & Co. Bridal requires a 50% non-refundable retainer. The reason for this is, that we block out the majority of our day to make sure that our brides have our undivided attention and that we can provide them with the best service possible.

This is totally up to you.
Although, Summer & Co. Bridal highly recommends a trial run for the following reasons:
- We will be able to assess your skin/hair type better to determine which foundation formula (traditional or airbrush) and hair techniques will work best for your wedding day.
- We will be able to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your hairstyling (updo, half up, etc.) before your big day.
- If you are on the fence about airbrush or traditional, we offer the option of doing one side of the face airbrush and the other side traditional so you can see how each of them wears and feels.
- We can get a better idea of if you normally wear a lot of makeup on a day to day, so we can determine what level of makeup you will feel most comfortable with on your wedding day.
- You can discuss eyebrow styling, eyeliner preferences, lip finishes (glosses vs mattes), and so much more to ensure you will feel the most comfortable for your big day.
- We will make sure to take detailed notes of your trial session to ensure that your perfect makeup and/or hair look is achieved on your special day and matches with what was done at your trial.
- After your trial, Summer will contact you within 48 hours to check in to see how you felt about your session and if you’d like to make any changes for the day of.

FAQs
Trial runs are necessary if you are wanting to know what style of makeup will work best for you on your big day. Will you want glowy skin or a matte finish, a glossy lip or a matte lip, a natural individual lash application or a dramatic strip lash? Most trial runs take anywhere from 1.5-2 hours total. This will give Summer enough time for the makeup application, but also to get to know you! She wants to know all of your details! For example: colors for the wedding, will you be spray tanning, does your dress have any beading on it (you won’t want your makeup clashing with any accents on your dress), do you prefer your bridesmaids to have a certain style of makeup, will your ceremony be indoor or outdoor? Summer will take thorough notes before and after the trial run so that no detail about your makeup will be left out. She will also provide professional makeup lighting as well as a comfortable chair for your trial run.
If you are unsure about traditional foundation vs. airbrush foundation, a trial run is the perfect time to try both out. Summer offers the option of trying one half airbrush, and one half traditional foundation at your trial run so you can see how it wears throughout the day and how it feels on your skin. Summer also highly suggests scheduling your trial run on a day where you can put your makeup to good use! A lot of her brides will schedule their trials on the day of their bridal shower, engagement photos, dress fitting, or even just a date night. Summer will also reach out to you within 48 hours after your trial to see what your thoughts were on the makeup and if you want to make any changes before the big day!
We recommend scheduling your trial run anywhere from 1-3 months before your wedding. This gives you enough time to find inspiration photos of the style you are looking for, and also to figure out any further details that your artist and/or stylist would need to know before the big day.
We can be as accommodating as possible (depending on which artist/stylist you book for your wedding) for your trial run session. If you book with Summer & Co. Bridal for both hair and makeup, we can definitely do both trials on the same day, but we do prefer to not do them at the same appointment time (both artist and stylist working on you at the same time.)This is so your makeup artist and hairstylist can ensure that they achieve your perfect look for your wedding day.
The travel rate is .75 cents per mile (roundtrip). Parking fees will be added as well if applicable.
Airbrush foundation comes out in a fine mist from an airbrush machine. The machine is attached to an air compressor which gives more control of how much coverage you desire with your foundation. It is a common misconception that airbrush makeup feels “heavier” than traditional foundation. But it is quite the opposite! Most of Summer’s brides rave about how light airbrush foundation feels. Airbrush foundation is long lasting and best for normal to oily skin types.
Traditional foundations can be customizable depending on the brand and formula. Summer carries several different long lasting brands of traditional foundation with her to accommodate all skin types. She finds that her clients with normal-dry skin do best with traditional foundation.
It’s really all dependent on your skin type! That’s what’s so great about having a trial run so Summer can do a thorough skin analysis to see which foundation would work best for you for your big day. Both are extremely long wearing so you won’t need to worry about if your makeup will last all day.
It’s totally understandable to be a little bit nervous about wearing false lashes if you have never worn them before. Summer wants all of her brides to feel comfortable for their big day, so she offers a variety of different temporary lashes. She customizes your lash application based on your eye shape and lash length. If you are someone that wants more of a natural lash, Summer highly recommends individual temporary lashes. These are her favorites to use on her brides! If you are a future Mrs. that loves a bold lash, Summer also offers several different styles of dramatic strip lashes.
