Hello! My name is Braelyn Brownfield! I have been involved in the wedding industry for almost two years now! Being a part of MBA is such an honor for me, as Mckenzie led me into this industry years ago! She quickly took me under her wing, training and trusting in me to work under her as an assistant. Such a full circle moment! The Lord was so faithful in that season, and granted me the undeniable confidence and confirmation that this industry is where I belong. I have such a love and passion for making women feel like their most beautiful selves. There is no better feeling than caring for and serving others, on some of the most special and beautiful days of their lives. There is so much beauty in each humanly creation, and sometimes a little pampering and love is all you need to feel your best self. I take pride in making sure that each client I meet, also becomes a friend. I strive to make you feel as comfortable with me, and as loved and cared for as possible, no matter the occasion. It is such a rewarding job, and I am so thankful that I get to find a career in this industry. When I’m not working weddings, I also work behind the chair full time. I am so grateful to be a part of two extraordinarily talented, wonderful teams of women who constantly encourage and push me to be the best artist/stylist I can be. It would be my honor to be a part of your special day, and I can’t wait to work with you!
