BridalGal

I can't say enough nice thoughts about the whole BridalGal team. They truly made my day spectacular with their quality of service. I still look at my pictures and think "is that me??" -- because Lilly made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. The whole team was on time, and didn't cut a single corner on anyone. My bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful. Their make up was done flawlessly and all complementing their outfits and facial features. The dupatta ladies were so detailed oriented they made my outfits look absolutely amazing... and again- my bridesmaids FLAWLESS! They felt so beautiful on that day as well. Petra did an amazing job with my hair and always made sure that I was happy with it. I commend the BridalGal team, not only for their AMAZING skills--but their patience! They bring a sense of calmness to a very chaotic moment (10 bridesmaids, family, and bride = chaotic) :)

Last weekend was our daughter's wedding, we booked Bridal Gal for hair and make-up and could not have been happier!! The Bride looked stunning and elegant as did her Bridesmaids, the mother's were also thrilled. We were all so impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Lilly, Petra and the talented Bridal Gal team were amazing and I would highly recommend them!!!

It would be impossible to choose one word to describe Lilly (bridalgal) and the amazing services she provided. I rarely wear make up and wanted to look natural in my pictures and she was able to find the right balance, making me look and feel beautiful.  When I met with her for my trial she was able to produce a look that was flawless and matched what I wanted without me having to fully describe the look in words. She has amazing intuition and the ability to understand any bride.  Furthermore, she delivered the same excellence the day of the wedding despite having to do 4 other girls and having to contend with spotty electricity (my venues fault). Lilly is a professional, consistent and an artist! My advice to any bride is to pick vendors that you are confident in, it makes the wedding planning process and day  much more enjoyable. For me this made bridal gal the clear winner when I was looking for a makeup artist.

I hired Lilly Rivera from BridalGal as my makeup artist for my wedding five years ago and had the most wonderful experience that day with her and her staff. When my husband and I decided to renew our vows this past March, I knew that I wanted no one other than Lilly to do my makeup again! We have kept in touch through the years and when I told her our plans to renew she insisted on making time in her busy schedule to fly to Florida and do my makeup again. She did my makeup and 6 other women in the wedding and every face was perfection. She not only uses her professional opinion to guide her makeup selections but also the wants and needs of each individual girl to feel beautiful! The makeup stayed perfectly in place the entire night through the after party. She even stayed through the ceremony to ensure that I didn't need a touch up before photos. She is a true professional and I have recommend Lilly & BridalGal to many friends who have had nothing but excellent experiences as well.

Bridalgal services were great, Lilly provided the upmost customer service,professionalism and follow-up. She was readily available to respond to my additional questions and concerns. My makeup was the look that I imagined and more for my overall look for my specialday. I felt beautiful and i received great compliments from family and freinds.

Bridal Gal was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Lily was absolutely amazing. My makeup, along with all the girls in the wedding including my mom looked flawless and natural and truly made my pictures. Petra did our hair and it never looked so good. All of my girls have very different hair types and Petra did an outstanding job. I received so many compliments and she even helped me with my veil. I'm so happy with these ladies and anytime I need hair and makeup again Bridal Gal is my place. Thank you ladies!!

My wedding was 3 weeks ago and Lily was my makeup artist and Petra was my hair stylist for the day. I cannot express how happy I am with their services. I signed with Lily earlier this year after 3 trials with other makeups artists and I can honestly say none of them compared to her work. She immediately put me at ease and was able to target the exact look I was hoping for. She used the airbrush and it provided me with a flawless look that looked beautiful. We did a trial for both morning and evening makeup/hair looks and I could tell that day that I had finally found the right team. Since signing, Lily did a facial for me, my mom and my mother-in-law, and Petra even suggested that I come see her for a haircut so she could layer my hair so it would look better on the wedding day. She did an amazing job and I will be going to her for my future haircuts! On the actual day, they arrived on time and they worked so well with my family (my mom and mom-in-law had their hair & makeup done as well). I was so relaxed and with them and they did a perfect job. They followed us to the church and did touch ups during my photoshoot there. They also were at the reception hall where did the hair and makeup for the three of us again. Lily and Petra made me feel glamourous and beautiful on my wedding day, they had just the right look for me so that I looked natural but set apart as the bride. They are professional but also easy going where they can joke and make you feel at ease. All in all, I had an amazing day with them, I recommend them for every bride, you will not regret going with them!

Bridal Gal did a truly amazing job at our wedding. We had an Indian-Scottish wedding with 4 dress changes and they were able to change my hair and make-up in a short time so that I was not away from my guests for too long! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!!

There are no words to explain Lilly. She is an EXCELLENT make-up artist, easy to get along with, cultural, up-to-date with new trends, etc. CAN'T GO WRONG HIRING HER! VERY PUNCTUAL, AND JUST A PHENOMENAL PERSON!

Lilly and Petra of BridalGal were excellent to work with on my wedding day! In fact, I booked them based on referral before even having a trial done. They are fun, professional, and truly skilled at what they do. My wedding photos came out great and we received plenty of compliments which is many thanks to hair and makeup!!! Both moms and I had a great time and knew we were in good hands. Thank you for making us look glow on our special day!

Lilly was AMAZING to work with. My makeup looked great and everything was on time. I was so worried about being ready on time for my events, but Lilly was quick and made sure my makeup looked good. :-) Thank you so much Lilly.. :-)

ABSOLUTELY LOVED LILLY AND HER TEAM!! WE HAVE A FAMILY WHERE THE FEMALES DOMINATE AND WE WILL CERTAINLY BE CALLING ON BRIDALGAL FOR ALL OUR SPECIAL OCCASSIONS!

In a word Lily at Bridal Gal was fantastic. Incredibly professional but also extremely creative and collaborative, with a special ability to work with different skin tones (my wedding party was a veritable 'United Colors of Benneton). She has a deep understanding of upscale elegance but also the ability to add just the right 'edge' when necessary. She also very calmly resolve several day-of issues that went above and beyond what we hired her for (hint: wedding dress malfunction) She worked arduously to ensure the best quality look for everyone in my wedding party...I loved her and so did all of my girls (and especially mom). I would highly recommend Lily/Bridal Gal not just for weddings but for any busy professional woman who attends events, fundraisers, functions, etc. - AND wants to present a polished image at the executive level. Warm Regards, Vanessa W.

Over the past few years my mother developed a common skin condition - vitiligo that has resulted in loss of pigment. My greatest worry for my wedding day was that she'd be uncomfortable in her own skin (literally) because of this condition. A little over a year ago I found Lilly and introduced her to mom. She immediately understood my concerns and booked mom for a trial run. her technique was incredible and her thoughtfulness surpassed that. As the wedding appreaoched mom's pigment continued to disappear and the worries began again. We went for a second trial with lilly about a month before the wedding and she had done her homework and offered options and different perspectives we had not considered. Mom's worries began to dissipate. The day of the wedding arrived in record time and Lilly was prompt, enthusiastic and ready! She made my mother up BEAUTIFULLY. So much so that her condition was undetectable. She brought life to my maid of honor and she left me.. the bride speechless by them both and gushing b/c I was so beautiful. Lilly is a warm, seasoned professional that I would recommend not only for day of wedding make-up but as a trustd aesthetician. Months before the wedding we began a beauty regime to revitalize my skin and I was amazed by her knowledge of skin care. She is TRUELY A MASTER MAKE UP ARTIST! If you are looking to transform on your wedding day without feeling like you are hiding under layers of product, call BridalGal. She turned an avarage gal into a BEAUTIFUL BLUSHING BRIDE and I will be forever grateful! Take one less thing off your to do list - Book with Bridal Gal immediately!

Bridalgal was hands down my best vendor during the wedding planning process. Not only was my makeup/hair person (Michelle) incredible on the day of my wedding and related events, but leading up to the big day, Bridalgal was consistently the most professional and easiest vendor to work with. There was never any waiting for responses, manipulating with price, or anything that made me uncomfortable. In fact, there was a small glitch that could have become a big problem with my initial hair person, but Lilly Rivera worked everything out before even telling me what the issue was so that I wouldn't freak out. I've recommended Bridalgal already to some friends for their upcoming weddings and will in the future. Also, Lilly does facials and other skin care services, which I indulged in before the wedding- and because she was so good and her prices are reasonable, I'm going to continue going to her consistently for my skin care. As far as my makeup and hair goes for my events- I did not meet one person who didn't comment on how good I looked. Michelle did an amazing job at making me look beautiful (and not in a way that I was unrecognizable)!

Run, don't walk to this woman for your wedding makeup. My wedding was in June 2010. I am a tomboy at heart, so when I went to do a makeup trial with Lilly a few months earlier, I was a little nervous. Well, Lilly made me feel very comfortable and when she was done, I couldn't believe how good I looked! I work in a male dominated line of work and when the guys saw me, their jaws hit the floor!! Fast forward to the wedding day. Lilly came to my hotel room way out in Long Island. Lilly was so prompt, she beat most of my bridal party AND I knew there was heavy traffic that day. Anyway, Lilly did most of my entire bridal party and me. They loved her. She even did the little girls, which she didn't have to do. I added an extra person at the last minute, and Lilly didn't even bat an eye!! She did my extra person and gave me a discount!! She won my mom over, that's for sure. Needless to say, Lilly will be my go to person for formal occasions to come. she was worth every penny. I am still getting comments on how I looked that day. I am forever grateful to her for that.

I have nothing but glowing words to say about Lilly. She worked her magic!! I wanted a natural look for the wedding ceremony - she gave me her suggestions and at first I thought the look was too heavy but my friends all loved it and seeing myself on the camera she was right (I had a traditional heavy Indian outfit - had I not gone for Lilly's suggestion my face would have faded out from my outfit). For the reception she got my "smoky eyes" perfect. Everyone complimented me on my look. THANK YOU so much Lilly for your professionalism and expertise………and most importantly for doing such a good job with concealing my dark circles around my eyes! I would strongly recommend that if you are looking for a make up artist you book a trial with Lilly - you won't be disappointed. Priya Parekh

BridalGal was great! I loved my looks, and the entire team was very professional.

I cannot begin to say how amazing Lilly is. She is a wonderful artist and a super sweet woman. My make up trail was flawless (I didnt wash my face until 3day later and it remained perfect)...this along with her kind heart gave me no other choice…I had to book with her. I had one of the best facials with her @ her studio too! On my wedding day she came to us & did my make up, two of my bridesmaids and my Moms. My mother was diagnosed with sarcoidosis; it’s an autoimmune disease, which causes raised scaring on her skin, mostly on her face. My mother has not taken pictures in recent years due to this. Thanks to Lilly and her talent she made the scaring invisible and gave my mother the confidence to stand next to me on my wedding day and take photos. For this alone Lillys work is priceless to me & my family!!!! We cannot thank her enough for not only making my special day special for me, but for giving my mother that extra boost and making it a special day for her as well. I encourage anyone looking for a make up artisit to book Lilly ASAP….remember you get what you pay for ;)

It was a pleasure to work with Lily and Michelle they did a wonderful job!
