Vendor Spotlight: Unveil Your Love Bridal Beauty
A seamless wedding day doesn’t just happen by accident…it not only comes down to meticulous planning and thinking through all the details, but so highly correlates to the quality of your vendor team!
Having the right vendors by your side on the big day (and throughout planning) can ensure the success and enjoyment of your celebration, which is why we are dedicating time to spotlight some of the very best in New England on our blog. After more than a decade of planning weddings, we know which vendors deliver again and again on their promises, show up on point every single time to make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be, and are at the top of their game. In fact, we don’t put vendors on our “list” that we haven’t worked with previously, and always include only those that we know are professional, efficient, timely, communicative, and just all around superstars at what they do.
To kickoff the upcoming wedding season, we are delighted to feature a long-time trusted vendor and absolute professional in the hair + makeup world - Unveil Your Love Bridal Beauty!
Unveil Your Love Bridal Beauty is managed by the fabulous Kaydee Paquette, owner and lead stylist
Where are you based and which areas/locations do you serve?
Based in Warwick, Rhode Island, we service most locations in southern New England including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut
How long have you been working in the industry? What Drew You to this role?
Since 2015, so this marks 9 years in the wedding industry! I always loved doing my hair and makeup and watching online tutorials, and when plans fell through for interior design I thought about being a hairstylist. I started out doing weddings along with working in a salon behind the chair, but loved weddings way more so kept doing those!
What is your favorite part of the role you play on a wedding day?
My favorite part is making the bride feel like everything they’ve been planning for is really happening!! When they look in the mirror after their hair and makeup is done, they instantly picture themselves in their dress and know it’s almost time to go marry their best friend while feeling beautiful and confident.
What is one thing you provide your couples with during their wedding planning journey?
I provide my couples with trial prep and wedding day prep guides. This ensures they know how to properly prep their hair and skin, what to bring, what not to do, and what to expect for themselves and their wedding party services. I also give the bride a touch up/goodie bag for the wedding!
WHat is something you really want couples to know when it comes to wedding Hair + makeup?
I really want couples to know that a lot of the inspiration photos (or even videos) you see on Pinterest/Instagram/TikTok are either highly edited, have professional lighting that blurs skin texture, or have extensions, hair padding, etc. Some of those looks can take 2 hours to complete, and sometimes the results may be unachievable or unrealistic depending on your circumstances. Also ensuring your inspo photos look like YOU so that you know the look is more achievable (ex: same hair length, texture, thickness, color and similar facial proportions, skintone, eye color, etc).
Would you hire “you” if you were planning a wedding today…why or why not?
Yes, because who wants to do their own hair and makeup on their wedding day?! It’s a luxury service, and then you can relax knowing you’ll look picture perfect from every angle ALL night long on professional cameras! And in fact, I hired my own team members to do my own wedding back in November 2022
BUST one myth about your specialty that all couples should know!
Dirty or greasy hair does NOT hold curls better and is NOT better for updos! I’m not sure how this became such widespread information. The more natural oils and build up on your scalp/hair strands, the less volume you can achieve and the more likely your hair is to look wet — even if it’s dry. And sometimes, even dry shampoo can’t fix it!!
What is your wedding day “fuel” of choice?
Fruit smoothies!
Where can you be found when you’re not working?
When I’m not doing hair and makeup, you can catch me snuggled up on the couch watching Netflix with my husband and cat, going on a walk, doing yoga, and spending time with my family + friends!
