Vidya made the process and experience as easy and stress-free as possible. I was an indecisive bride; I knew if I liked something or if I didn't but I had a hard time putting it into words. I changed my mind a lot during the makeup trial. Vidya was very patient the whole time and really gave me space to see what I liked best. She gave me advice on what would work well based on my facial features and my outfit and jewelry. Red Lotus Artistry does makeup and hair and I was also picky on hair. I knew I wanted to have jasmine flowers in my hair but couldn't find an inspo pic to bring my vision to life. Vidya drew an inspo pic and I trusted it and it was worth it. I loved my wedding hair and makeup. She worked with Tassi on my hair and it was better than I could have hoped for. She was there for me the whole time and really made me feel cared for. She even stood nearby with a cotton pad and tissue while I was getting first look photos taken so I wouldn't smear my makeup while crying.
I was wearing traditional Indian attire for my wedding and Vidya did a great job of helping me get dressed and pinning everything in place. The string for my skirt broke and she was able to quickly find a new thread, attach the decorative baubles at the end and get me ready in record time!
I would (and have) recommended them to a friend. I can't wait to see what beautiful look she creates for my beautiful friend's wedding as well! -

Vidya is the BEST
Vidya is the BEST!! I used her for my entire wedding week, she is my fairy godmother!! Out of all the vendors I used for my wedding Vidya was one of the only ones that consistently checked in on me (months before the wedding), she was my confidant, therapist, #1 fan and honestly kind of like a big sister. I was so sad when the week was over and we had to say bye to each other - she is literally the most amazing person ever, her work and team are incredible. They made everyone in my family feel beautiful and loved! I used her for full hair and makeup for all 4 events and she did all of my jewelry & outfit placement -

Your glam team is probably who you spend the longest amount of time with as a bride, so having a kickass squad is critical. I was very fortunate to have the RLA (Red Lotus Artistry) team on my side throughout my big weekend. Emily, Tassi, and Chandra did a phenomenal job getting me, my mom, and my mother-in-law ready on time and looking amazing every time. The way they did my hair and makeup made me feel like a million bucks and I couldn't be happier with how each and every look turned out. Vidya and Emily guided me throughout the process and they understood my vision and elevated it to the bridal level. They are such fun and talented ladies and I would highly recommend Vidya and her team for any and all of your glam squad needs! -

Tara T. Sent on 06/23/2023AMAZING Experience with Vidya
I had the incredible fortune of having Vidya as my HMUA for my wedding, and I cannot express just how amazing she was. From the moment I met her we had an amazing connection and she effortlessly translated my vague ideas into stunning looks for both my Hindu and Western ceremonies. Vidya's talent and attention to detail exceeded all my expectations, making me feel absolutely amazing all weekend long. My hair and make-up also both lasted all day and night long, despite me partying and not being careful at all lol.
What sets Vidya apart is not only her skill but also her wonderful attitude. She radiates positivity and made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Her team, who assisted the bridal party, were equally fantastic and professional.
If you're searching for a hair and make-up artist who can turn your vision into reality, while ensuring you feel incredible, look no further than Vidya. Her exceptional skills, bright and positive attitude, and dedication to perfection will leave you feeling like the most beautiful bride.
Thank you, Vidya, for your incredible talent and for going above and beyond to make me feel extraordinary on my wedding day. You are a true artist, and I'm forever grateful for the magic you created! -

Vidya was amazing! As someone who has never really worn makeup I had no idea what I wanted and she sat down with me walked me through ideas and did a whole trial that I then got to take some pictures with as well with our photographer! she was super nice to me and my whole family and worked with what we needed. She was super kind the day of and really focused on making it a great day for me! the makeup and hair turned out beautiful I didn't even know my hair could ever look like that! My makeup was stunning and was just perfect for me and my personality. It was absolutely perfect and worked well with our fusion wedding and changing outfits! I highly recommend her and her team they are all amazing!! -

TLDR: You spend nearly, as much time with your glam team as you do at your events. It is important that you have a team that makes you feel beautiful on the inside and out. RLA delivered in every way possible. They honestly felt more like family than a vendor.
We used RLA and team for my bridal hair and makeup as well as my close friends and family. We can be a difficult lot to work with. We want glam, but not too much glam, we still want to look like ourselves but elevated. RLA truly delivered, we got soooo many compliments on how good everyone looked and how we all still looked like ourselves.
Now for the Bridal side of things, I cannot say enough to truly convey how happy I am. On your wedding day, you are nervous, exhausted, anxious, etc. Vidya and the team made me feel at ease. I even told them that I would rather just hang out with them than go to my events and I meant it!
We initially had a trial for my wedding day look and Vidya listened to everything I said. She picked up on my style and really delivered. Shortly thereafter we had a consultation where we went through each one of my looks. What I was looking for both hair, make-up, and draping. She created a vision board for me and even made suggestions on simple additions or changes that really elevated my looks. On the day(s) of, she blew it out of the park.
Honestly, I hesitate to speak up and say what I do and do not like when it comes to services like this. When I asked for small changes, I felt so comfortable asking, and Vidya was never offended instead she was happy that I said something.
I said it in the beginning and I have to say it again, you want a team that makes you feel beautiful on the inside and out. RLA really delivered. -

Bridal weekend MUA/ draping/hair extensions / eyelashes
I shopped around for bridal MUA for about 2 months before my wedding . I did trial periods with a few MUA before I booked. Having a darker skin complexion I was worried that my makeup would not look natural and would be cakey. If you know what I mean … during the trials I had a lot of ups and down with different artist but Vidya was able to push my stress away & work with my skin tone and was able to bring my own natural skin to life. Vidya was able to do my draping, get me ready & do my makeup while I was sleeping in the chair… I will never forget that moment. Being tired and having sleepless nights and waking up early just to get ready. one of the things I regret is not taking enough pictures to show her work. But compliments from family and friends was all the justification I needed to know that her hands have the magic touch. Vidya also to this day keeps in touch which make me feel and love her admiration for her work. As she doesn’t only treat her clients as clients she treats us like family. & I can’t express how much that makes me feel so important and makes me remanence on my beautiful thanksgiving wedding weekend.
Also. A very important tip for any new brides — I think it’s very important to have a good photographer to capture these moment & the works of your MUA . My photographer was very unprofessional & did not capture any good moments. -

Vidya and team at RLA are truly the queens of HMU! From beginning to end, Vidya was attentive and used her creativity to help me feel comfortable in my own skin. She and her team were so professional and made my entire bridal party, my family and I look amazing! I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and she was so great in coming up with looks for all 5 of my events. I would highly recommend her and RLA to anyone looking for a HMUA! My family loves her so much that she’s even doing my sisters wedding this year! ♥️

Indian Wedding Perfection
Vidya and her team were amazing from start to finish! I hired Red Lotus Artistry for for my bridal and bridal party makeup and hair for three events. Vidya and her team made me feel beautiful! They listened to my ideas and enhanced them with their expertise. I was especially impressed with how they treated my mom. They enhanced her natural beauty without going over board. For all future events I would only hire them! Thank you for everything! -

Vidya and her team will bring nothing but their A-game to your big day! I was looking for someone who could do hair makeup and sari drape and she was the perfect fit. Let me tell you that I am a project manager for a living and I was impressed at the professionalism by Vidya, she plans flawlessly and manages schedules very well.. She is also flexible when it comes to budget and last minute circumstances. She is a great advisor when it comes to the whole bridal look and managing the day itself.. These ladies come prepared for anything, one of my bridesmaid had a torn seam and Vidya literally pulled out her sewing kit and patched it together, blue eyeshadow for my mom and hair donuts for me and she even fixed my husband's hair. I promise you will not get a better bang for your buck, Red Lotus will make you and your bridal party look like a million bucks!!! -
