Let me guess, you’re deep in wedding planning mode.
You’re shopping for the dress, tasting cakes and appetizers, touring venues, and your Pinterest boards are flooded with inspiration and ideas. Everyone you run into is asking how it’s going, and you’re giddy just sharing your ideas out loud – this wedding is happening! Can you believe it?!
As you’re making your lists and checking them twice, one piece of the puzzle that can sometimes fall through the cracks is your wedding beauty. We’re talking hair, nails, makeup, skincare, all the self-care things.
Every bride wants to look and feel their most beautiful on the big day, but it can be confusing to know where to start, what beauty services really matter and which ones you can skip, and how to bring it all together for a cohesive, timeless look. No small feat, right?!
Whether you’re doing your own makeup or hiring a pro, I don’t want you to make these same mistakes:
You try to piece together tutorials from different makeup artists online, and end up with a makeup look that feels disjointed, mismatched, too DIY, too trendy, or just doesn’t fit your overall wedding vibe.
You go overboard with your beauty looks and you end up not feeling like yourself – on such an important day no less!
You try to copy something you see online without considering your own skin type, features, face shape, etc., and it ends up looking all wrong. Ugh!
Making any of these mistakes can lead you to feeling self-conscious, unsure about your looks, and less than confident on a day when literally everyone is looking at you. That is NOT what we want, girlfriend.
I am all about encouraging brides to take your beauty into your own hands and feel ownership and authority over something that affects your self-esteem so greatly. Knowledge is power, and you deserve to look like an absolute QUEEN on your wedding day.
Your Pinterest boards are full.
Maybe you have some makeup looks pinned to your boards or you’ve got a stash of torn-out bridal magazine pages with looks you love… if you’re old school like me! But it can all feel overwhelming, right? There’s so many different makeup tutorials on YouTube and beauty influencers on TikTok that you don’t know who to listen to or where to even begin.
What would look good on me?
Do I even have a makeup style?
What looks are timeless and what looks are trendy?
I just want to look my best and ooze with confidence on one of the most important days of my life!
You’re not alone!
So many brides approach their wedding beauty with these same questions. As I’ve done makeup for literally hundreds of brides in the last 10+ years (btw, hi, I’m Emily Edgar!), I’ve developed a makeup process and skincare routines that can cut through the overwhelm and help brides take beauty into their own hands.
I truly believe that your definition of beauty is the only one that matters. I’m on a mission to help brides personify their beauty and look their very best on their wedding day and beyond. And I’m about to spill all my best bridal beauty secrets with YOU, babe.
I’ve been hard at work for literally *years* on a one-stop shop resource for bridal beauty that will allow you to have peace of mind throughout the entire bridal beauty process so you can look and feel your best on your big day (and have fun while you’re at it!).

Meet Emily,
the Founder of BGB
Hi, friend! I’m Emily Edgar, and I’ve been a professional makeup artist for over 10 years working all over the industry.
From supermodels, to beauty ads, commercials and my very favorite, brides! Having been trained in Paris, France with the top European makeup academy and worked in the iconic New York City beauty scene – I’ve seen and done a lot!
In addition to my on-set experience, I spent 3 years teaching the skills of makeup artistry to new artists and beauty enthusiasts alike at the Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC.
As a fixture in the bridal suite of many weddings across the Midwest, I bring poise, passion, and confidence to every wedding while providing a customized experience to help brides personify their beauty and look their very best.
The evolution of beauty keeps me committed to learning, studying, and practicing my trade across many specialties. I truly believe beauty is a matter of opinion, one which is fluid and should always reflect the beauty of the woman herself.
BGB is built from my work with bridal clients and focuses on each step of the bridal beauty process. This insight comes from years working with brides on their most special days… this is a secret little gem, enjoy it!
“Like the professional she is, Emily provides endless tips, tricks and product recommendations, making this a valuable resource for individuals of any skill level.”

Makeup isn’t just a wedding day item on your to-do list.
It’s a process that starts at engagement, and it can make a world of difference in your confidence and self-esteem, from the very first photo to the last drop of champagne.
Your wedding makeup can seem like a piece that can be left until the week before your wedding to figure out, but that’s not the case. It’s important to start healthy skincare routines NOW, no matter how many months until your big day. Forming these habits will lay the foundation for a flawless, stress-free makeup look on your wedding day, and will benefit your skin long after the party’s over.
Having a trusted source in the beauty industry to support your bridal beauty process from the start will be essential. The Bride’s Guide to Beauty can be that for you.
“Even though my wedding day has come and gone, I know I'll be returning to this resource every time I prepare for a special event.”
