Not every bride is a Beauty by Vespa bride - and that’s exactly the point. We work with a select number of weddings each year, which means when you’re with us, you have our full attention, our best artists, and an experience that feels nothing like a beauty assembly line. We’re a boutique team based in Brooklyn, trusted by women who know what they want and aren’t willing to compromise on how they look or feel on the most photographed day of their life. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet.
Our Services.
Bridal Hair & Makeup
The full experience.
Your lead artist is hand-selected for you based on your aesthetic, your wedding vibe, and your vision. We come to you fully prepared. No rushing, no chaos, just focused, intentional artistry in your space. The result is a look that photographs beautifully, lasts all day, and most importantly, still looks and feels like you, elevated.
Bridal Trial
Consider this your private fitting.
We sit together, we talk through everything: references, skin concerns, the dress, the venue lighting, and we build your look from scratch until it’s exactly right. Most of our brides tell us the trial is their favorite appointment. It’s where the vision becomes real.
Bridesmaids Hair & Makeup
Your girls are part of the story too. We style your bridal party to complement your look; cohesive but never cookie-cutter. Each person is seen as an individual. Service scope is tailored to your overall package, so the morning flows beautifully from start to finish.
Groom
Because he deserves to look just as good. Clean, polished, camera-ready grooming for the groom. Effortless and understated.
Flower Girl
The littlest members of your party deserve a moment too. Sweet, age-appropriate styling that makes them feel like the stars they are.
Touch-Up Artist
For the bride who wants to stay perfect from ceremony to last dance. A dedicated touch-up artist stays with you through the reception blotting, refreshing, fixing the lipstick after cake. Discreet, professional, and completely worth it.

Not a stressful checkbox. Not a rushed blur. Your artist is there, the vibe is good, and for a few hours it’s just you, your people, and this really beautiful moment before everything begins. And when you look in the mirror? You feel like yourself, just the best version you’ve ever seen. That’s the morning we’re going to give you.
Here’s what we want for you: you wake up on your wedding morning, your girls are around you, there’s good music playing, maybe a mimosa... and getting ready actually feels like part of the celebration.
You know exactly the feeling you want — effortless, beautiful, completely yourself — but finding a team you actually trust with your wedding day feels overwhelming. You’ve seen the horror stories. The cakey makeup. The updo that didn’t survive the ceremony. The artist who was rushed, distracted, or just… fine. You don’t want fine. You want to look back at your photos in twenty years and feel something. You want to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. Not a costume version, not a trend version. You. Just perfect.
You’ve been saving inspiration photos for months.
We work with a carefully selected number of weddings each year which means every bride gets our full attention, our best artists, and an experience that feels personal from the first email to the last touch-up. We do hair. We do makeup. We travel. And we don’t leave until you’re perfect.

here's what you get with beauty by vespa
We don’t take every booking. We take the right ones.
I built this team because I believe your wedding morning should feel as good as it looks. We’re a boutique agency of 26 carefully selected artists based in Brooklyn and we’ve worked with brides across New York, destination weddings, and everything in between. Our work has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar and British Vogue, and our clients include some of the most discerning women in the room.
A deep love for animals and nature runs through everything we do here. It’s not a policy, it’s just who we are. It’s why we’re committed to working with clean, cruelty-free products, and why we care deeply about how we show up in the world. Not just for our brides, but for the planet too.
I’m Elena, founder of Beauty by Vespa.

It’s something we care deeply about and actively work toward. We prioritize clean and cruelty-free brands wherever we can, and our kit is always evolving in that direction but we’re honest that we’re not 100% there yet. For us it’s a commitment and a journey, not just a label.
Do you use clean and cruelty-free products?
We’ll reach out to schedule a quick call to get to know you, learn about your vision, and make sure we’re the right fit for each other.
What happens after I inquire?
It’s not required, but it’s strongly recommended and honestly, most of our brides say it’s one of their favorite parts of the whole process.
Is a trial required?
We recommend reaching out at least 9–12 months before your wedding date. Our calendar fills quickly, especially for peak season weekends.
How far in advance should I book?
Yes, we travel for destination weddings and are happy to discuss travel fees during your consultation.
Do you travel outside of New York?
