How it works

When you contact Indie Bridal Co you will be speaking with the company owner, Leslie, directly. If there are artists available for your date you will receive a price quote and, based on your desired wedding day look, Leslie will pair you up with an artist that is close in proximity to your location and will meet your needs best. After signing the Newlywed agreement contract and paying 50% of the collective service cost for the retainer, you will officially be booked with Indie Bridal Co and your wedding day goals will be shared with your artist. A preview date will also be scheduled to meet with your artist.

Payments

The total package cost is broken into two payments.

  1. 50% of all service costs are due at booking. This amount will then go towards the total amount due.

  2. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the wedding day. This includes any on-site or travel fee.

We choose to handle payments this way because we believe the couple should not be thinking about money on their wedding day.

Testimonials

“I would highly recommend Leslie and Shellee. The price was very reasonable and they were very helpful! Shellee really took what I wanted and recreated it perfectly. The bridesmaids all loved their hair and makeup and it lasted all night. I’d use again for any friend’s big day!”

—Katherine

“Indie Bridal Co was incredible. Leslie was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Lainey did my hair/makeup for the wedding and was the lead artist. We had her and two others come to a VRBO where we were all getting ready. Me, my six bridesmaids, the two moms, and four flower girls, all had hair and/or makeup done, so there were a lot of us. Lainey kept us all on schedule so I didn't have to stress. They were all very friendly, fun and professional. Leslie and Lainey answered my questions leading up to the wedding about the schedule and everything to ease my worries. I did a hair/makeup trial along with my sister and mother, and that all went so smoothly. Highly recommend!!”

— Molly

“Indie Bridal Co was a dream to work with. Leslie was super quick to get back to me with answers to any questions I had. Lainey did my hair and makeup for my June 2021 wedding and was wonderful throughout the whole trial and wedding morning. She and Kayla came to my parents’ lake house for hair and makeup. It was a lot to get done (hair for my 8 bridesmaids and me, plus several of us had makeup as well) but they stayed on time and everyone was so happy with the results. Leslie and Lainey had worked with my photographer and wedding coordinator ahead of the wedding so we had a timeline mapped out and everyone was on the same page. They were very professional — they showed up on time (despite having never been there before), they brought all the needed supplies, and they created an individual look for each bridesmaid… I highly recommend them for anyone’s wedding.”

— Allison

“Overall I was blown away by the exceptional service I received from Indie Bridal Co. The hair and makeup were more than beautiful and executed exactly how I had asked. But beyond the beautiful work they did, what really stood out was their professionalism. I received a call the day before my wedding that my main stylist had come down with the flu. You would imagine "panic mode" would set in, but by the time the owner herself had called to share the unfortunate news, she and the other team members had already come together to devise a new plan. This is what you get when you hire a true professional! Never did I have to worry because they had it covered, and they exuded it with confidence. Everyone worked so hard that day and I am beyond appreciative that they made everything so wonderfully fabulous!!”

ANSWERS TO YOUR

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • We strive to keep each service at 30-45 minutes. The newlywed services we spend about 45 minutes to an hour per service.

  • You have the option of a trial with wedding day services or we often work with brides that are from out of state that do not have the time to get a trial. In those cases, we do a phone or video consultation and go over the best route for your wedding day look before we meet on your wedding day.

  • It is rare but it does happen when we outsource. There are other trusted wedding professions that we hire out on peak event dates. Oftentimes they come from other bridal teams in the local area.

  • You do not need a trial to book us for your wedding. If you opt out of a trial prior to the event we will schedule a video or phone call to thoroughly discuss your wedding day look as well as schedule additional time on your wedding day look.

  • Weddings are stressful and to work on them as a career and not a hobby is only for those that truly LOVE working on weddings. Our artists are seasoned veterans and love what they do.

  • Our retainer to reserve your date upon booking is 50% of the total service cost.

  • Yes! We love to travel. If you are eloping out of the country or marrying in a different state than Indie Bridal has artists based in, reach out to us. We can customize your quote and work with your budget to accommodate the travel costs required.

  • Our company Instagram has the most up-to-date images of our teams' work. Indie Bridal Co owner, Leslie can send you images of the artist’s work that match or are closely related to your inspiration images.

  • There are times when we are hired for only hair or makeup. In those events we do charge a collaboration fee(Indiana only) for our artists to work with another licensed artist that isn't part of our team.

  • In most states a license by the state you live in is required to get paid to do hair/ makeup on people. The minimum hour requirement before taking a test is 1500 hours. That averages out to be just under a year of schooling full-time. Before any artist joins our team, our owner, Leslie, ensures they have real-world experience with clients outside of school, then they start a training program with Indie Bridal Co. The training includes model work, job shadowing and hands-on practice with the artists on the team. Each person on the team has been vetted by Indie Bridal Co owner Leslie before becoming an official team member.
