Wedding Hair of my Dreams 🤩

I first heard about Abby B through my close friend who had booked her for a wedding she was in & absolutely loved working with her! When I reached out to Abby, I was so excited that she was available for my wedding day! She is the sweetest person, makes you feel right at home, & is so fun to chat with! I can’t stop talking about my bridal hair & how she did such a wonderful job. She seriously made all of my wedding hair dreams come true! Book her!

Abby was amazing! She created the wedding hair/makeup of my dreams. I am so thankful to have had such an amazing person a part of my wedding day. She really made me feel comfortable and beautiful!

The best of the best for wedding hair & makeup!!

You absolutely have to book Abby! She is both extremely professional and extremely personable! She will make all your wedding hair and makeup dreams come true because that’s exactly what she did for me! Abby is intentional with every detail with her services. Abby studied the inspo pictures I sent her and asked for feedback each step of my hair and makeup trial. Abby follows through on whatever feedback you give her as well. This put me at absolute peace of mind on my wedding day! If you follow Abby on Instagram, you will see she is always taking classes and sharpening her skills. I honestly can’t recommend booking her enough! She even gives you a touch up kit for after she leaves so that your makeup looks fresh for your whole event!! Forever thankful that Abby Bontrager was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding.

Hi! I'm Abby :) Yayy, you're engaged!

Just a couple things about me: I live in Vicksburg, MI with my hubby and our two rescue kitties! I've always had a huge passion for bridal makeup and even did my own for our destination wedding!

Being over 15 years in this industry, I finally took the leap and started my own business in May 2023 and loving every moment! I wish I had done it sooner.

I love helping with every beauty aspect when it comes to one of the biggest days of your life. I don’t take more than one bridal party a day so I can fully focus on you and your needs! I'll help you create the perfect timeline that allows for a seamless and stress free morning. I will also work closely with your wedding day coordinator and photographer to keep everything running perfectly and on time! From you first reaching out to me, to booking your preview, and finally getting you ready for your big day, I will just be a phone call/text away for any questions or concerns.
