Minnesota Weddings
Celebrating Beauty in Every Culture, Every Shade, Every Style
A Word From Laura
The Vision Behind Ara Bee Collective
Wedding and special occasion hair and makeup have been my passion for over 15 years. I love creating timeless looks that help each client feel confident, beautiful, and authentically themselves. My approach draws from both Eastern and Western beauty traditions, and I’m proud to lead a talented team skilled in working with all hair types, textures, and skin tones.
Every wedding is unique, and I’m committed to making sure each client feels seen, celebrated, and cared for on their big day.
We use a variety of high-quality, clean products that deliver the best results including Aveda hair products, Jane Iredale makeup, and Temptu airbrush makeup.

Step 1
Please review our FAQs, then submit our online contact form or email us directly to check availability for your wedding date.
Step 2
We will confirm our availability for your wedding day.
Step 3
We’ll begin with an initial Google Meet consultation to answer your questions, get to know your vision, and walk you through the next steps. If we both feel comfortable and confident moving forward, we’ll continue with the booking process.
Step 4
To officially reserve your wedding date, you will receive our Hair and Makeup Service Contract along with an invoice to submit your initial deposit. Both the signed contract and initial deposit must be received within 5 days of receipt in order to secure your date.
Step 5
Once your wedding date is secured, we’ll invite you to share your hair and makeup inspiration photos, along with your color palette, flower colors, and overall wedding aesthetic to help us create a look tailored specifically to you.
We recommend scheduling your Hair & Makeup Preview 1–4 months before your wedding day. Please note we are unable to schedule your preview until inspiration photos have been received. To keep everything organized, we’ve also created a customizable Hair & Makeup Inspiration Template for you and your wedding party to easily share photos in one place.
