About
Your Beauty, Elevated.
Your wedding morning should feel calm, joyful, and a little bit indulgent, not rushed or stressful.
Bridal Brigade was created to bring a luxury, on-location beauty experience directly to brides, allowing you and your bridal party to relax and enjoy every moment of getting ready.
Founded in 2012 by licensed esthetician and master makeup artist Brandi Paap, Bridal Brigade has been helping Chicago-area brides look and feel their best for more than a decade. With almost 20 years of experience in bridal beauty, Brandi combines her expertise in skincare, makeup artistry, and business leadership (she also holds an MBA) to ensure every bride receives a seamless, professional experience from the first consultation through the final touch-up.
Today, Bridal Brigade includes a carefully curated team of 15 talented hair and makeup artists who travel throughout Chicago, surrounding suburbs and central Illinois. Known for creating polished, timeless looks that enhance each bride’s natural beauty, the team works closely with every client to bring her vision to life while ensuring makeup looks flawless in person and in photographs.
From the quiet excitement of the first curl pinned into place to the final swipe of lipstick before walking down the aisle, the Bridal Brigade team is dedicated to making every bride feel confident, radiant, and completely taken care of.
