A Love Letter to Our Brides, Our Team, and Our Community


There are moments in business that feel bigger than recognition. Bigger than numbers. Bigger than titles.


Niky's Beauty being named one of Calgary’s Best Wedding Services of 2026 by Avenue Magazine is one of those moments.

This award is not about perfection, trends, or titles. It is about trust. It is about community.And it is about the people who allow us to be part of the most meaningful day of their lives.


More Than Hair and Makeup

What This Award Truly Represents



At Niky’s Beauty, we believe that being one of the best Calgary makeup artists is about far more than flawless skin or long-lasting bridal glam.

It is about:

• calming nerves during emotional moments• fixing a veil, pinning a dress, or holding back happy tears• becoming a temporary coordinator, stylist, hype person, and safe space• showing up early, staying late, and giving everything we have

To be recognized among the best wedding vendors in Calgary reminds us why we do this work.

Because weddings are not just events.They are memories that last a lifetime.


From Quiet Beginnings to an Award-Winning Bridal Team



Niky’s Beauty began with a simple goal: to create a luxury bridal hair and makeup experience that felt deeply personal, inclusive, and intentional.

Over the years, that vision has grown into a trusted team of professional artists serving Calgary and destination weddings across Alberta and beyond. Each artist brings not only technical excellence, but heart, professionalism, and unwavering care for every client we serve.

Being recognized as one of the best makeup artists of 2026 is a reflection of countless early mornings, long timelines, and an unwavering commitment to excellence — even when no one is watching.


Gratitude for Our Brides


You Are the Reason We Are Here


This award belongs to every bride who trusted us on her wedding day.

To those who invited us into hotel rooms, childhood homes, mountain lodges, and quiet moments before walking down the aisle — thank you.

You allowed us to witness vulnerability, joy, nerves, laughter, and love.You trusted us to make you feel confident, beautiful, and supported.

A Team Built on Love, Skill, and Trust


No award is ever won alone.

Our team is the backbone of Niky’s Beauty — artists who treat every wedding as if it were their own. Their passion, professionalism, and care are what allow us to consistently be recognized as one of the best hair and makeup teams in Calgary.

This honor belongs to every artist who shows up with integrity, kindness, and dedication — rain, snow, early call times, and all.


Why Recognition Matters in the Wedding Industry


The wedding industry is built on trust.

Here is a SHOPPABLE link for all the necessities for your big day! No matter how organized you are, the wedding morning moves FAST — and even the most prepared brides forget small but important things that make the day smoother. As a luxury bridal hair and makeup team in Calgary, we’ve seen it all: from dresses with no place to hang, to missing emergency kits, to forgotten accessories.


Here are the top wedding-day essentials brides often

forget, plus the items that make your morning

seamless, stress-free, and beautifully photogenic.

A Place to Properly Hang Your Wedding Dress

The #1 thing brides forget (seriously!).Hotels often don’t have tall enough closets, pretty hangers, or clean spaces to steam or display a gown.

Why it matters:

  • Photographers need a clean, tall space to photograph the dress

  • Prevents wrinkles, dust, carpet lint, or last-minute open closet chaos

  • Keeps your gown safe while everyone moves around

What to do instead:

  • Pack a collapsible dress hanger hook

  • Bring a picture-worthy wooden hanger

  • Assign someone to steam the dress before photos

Forgetting Snacks & Hydration

Wedding mornings run on adrenaline — and brides forget to eat more often than you think!

Why it matters:

  • Prevents nausea or lightheadedness

  • Keeps your energy stable through photos

  • Helps makeup last longer (yes, really!)

Pack easy, non-messy foods: fruit cups, granola bars, nuts, coconut water, etc.


No Backup Phone Charger or Power Bank

Phones die QUICKLY with timelines, vendor messaging, playlists, TikToks, and photos.

Bring:

  • A long charger

  • A portable battery

  • A power bar for the room

 
 
 

Soft Glam vs Natural Glam:

Which Bridal Look Is Best for You?


Two of the most requested bridal makeup styles in Calgary are Soft Glam and Natural Glam. Both are beautiful — but they offer different levels of definition, glow, and drama. At Niky’s Beauty, we help you choose the look that aligns with your features, dress, and personal style.

Here’s your breakdown:



What Is Soft Glam?

Soft glam enhances your features with a little more definition, warmth, and glow. It is polished, structured, and extremely photogenic.



Soft Glam Includes:

  • Defined eyes (smokey browns, lifted liner, fluffy lashes)

  • Sculpted complexion

  • Noticeable glow

  • Soft contour & highlight

  • More coverage, but still skin-like

Best for brides who want:✨ A glamorous, enhanced version of themselves✨ Lifts & definition in photos✨ A timeless wedding glam look



What Is Natural Glam?


Natural glam focuses on fresh skin, soft enhancement, and a “your skin but better” finish.It’s perfect for brides who want to look effortlessly polished.


Natural Glam Includes:

  • Sheer to medium coverage

  • Minimal liner or very soft liner

  • Light shimmer or matte eyeshadow

  • Soft blush and lip tones

  • A clean, youthful finish
