Coastal Bridal Beauty Effortlessly Refined
Bridal hair and makeup in Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota
Beauty should feel effortless, personal and completely your own. I create hair and makeup for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and life’s quiet, important days, so you feel radiant, confident, and beautifully yourself.
Kristen leads every booking, on location along the Gulf Coast, with trusted partner artists for larger bridal parties.
Soft glam that still looks like you.
Gulf light is honest. So is a long day in the heat. I create soft, refined hair and makeup that holds through humidity, wind, and portraits, without a heavy bridal mask. I come to you, so your morning stays quiet and your timeline stays clear.
More than 20 years of bridal artistry. North New Jersey roots. Now serving Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and nearby Gulf Coast venues.

Meet Kristen.
I’m Kristen Palmieri, a bridal hair and makeup artist with more than 20 years of experience. I lead every booking on location along the Gulf Coast, and for larger bridal parties I work with trusted partner artists.
