Say No To Bridal Stress

Before you say “I do”, say “I will” to arranging your beauty bridal services with an AE Bridal Team. 
David Reposar, Stylist


Planning your wedding is going to be one of the most rewarding tasks of your life — while also creating a good amount of stress! We love to do our part for every wedding party to ease that stress. 


How do we do that? 


By offering a one-stop shop for your beauty services in a professional, relaxed and attentive environment. My colleagues and I at Atelier Emmanuel are at the top of the industry for hair and beauty services. We’re also fortunate to have a venue that can accommodate a full bridal party while still keeping our approach intimate.


“Beauty is simple reality seen with the eyes of love” 


We’re a salon which sees you with eyes of love — which is exactly what you want when preparing for your wedding day!


As a stylist, I feel that bridal hair is an art form. Not every stylist can do it, and many updos fall short, looking like something from back in school… and no bride wants to look like she’s going to her 8th grade prom! I am about creating a personalized style, shaping an updo that suits you, and makes sense with your dress.  I have a vast background in the industry, with a range from New York glam, to runway and beyond. But I always create within your comfort zone.

One-stop Beauty Shop
One of the advantages that I have working with Atelier Emmanuel is that I can team-up to get a bride ready. Being able to coordinate skin, nails, and makeup services makes for a unified look for the bride, and a much less taxing, more efficient experience. 


We have many stylists trained in bridal updos, as well as multiple providers of our other beauty services. This makes it easy for us to host groups and can make the whole experience more festive for you! Below I am going to mention a few co-workers, to start introducing you to our team...


James | Styling and Makeup
James produces flawless, glamorous results with makeup. He has the ability to bring all of your best features to the forefront. 

April | Nails and Waxing

Your ring finger is going to need a little attention before your Big Day. April suggests getting a Shellac Manicure a day or two before your rehearsal — the finish can last all the way through the Honeymoon, giving you one less thing to do.


Alisa | Skin Care
It is quite common for brides to neglect skin care as part of their preparations. I heartily recommend that you see Alisa for a series of facials starting 6 weeks before your wedding. This will get your skin glowing, counter the stress of your planning, close your pores and prep your skin for makeup. A Soiree Facial on your wedding day will revitalize your skin without creating any redness.

Alisa and April also mention getting your brows shaped. This will help frame the face and ensure symmetry.

Margarita | Bodywork
Another neglected service for brides is massage. Now, I don’t want to overemphasize the stress in planning a wedding, but there’s a lot going on, isn’t there? A massage is like getting an extra night of sleep to help reset and rejuvenate you. It should be the first thing you do at the salon, on the day of your wedding! 



Quick Case Study: How a bob became an upstyle!

Miki Walsh has been a long time client of mine. When she approached me to create her bridal style, we had a challenge in front of us: she had very straight hair, and a relatively short A-line bob. In the end we were very happy with how well the hair held the curl. Curling the hair in this case was crucial to get an up look from the bob. "My hair completed the look I had envisioned for my wedding day," reports Miki.


We invite you to get one of our packages. You'll save on your services, and get to enjoy a professional bridal beauty day by making Atelier Emmanuel your Bridal Beauty Team.
