Welcome back to The Pre Nup, the wedding-obsessed podcast designed to help you plan your dream day—and prepare for whatever comes after! I’m your host, Adriana, and each week I sit down with top pros, influencers, and real couples who are keeping it honest about love, marriage, and everything in between.

This week, I’m joined by the ultimate beauty dream team: Alexandria Galeo and Sarah Ladka of Bridal by Alexandria. Alexandria shares how she went from doing makeup out of her closet to working with A-list clients like Lady Gaga, while Sarah—her former bride turned business partner—breaks down the behind-the-scenes systems that make their client experience second to none.

We’re diving into what separates a good beauty vendor from a great one, the evolution of bridal glam, and why clear communication is just as essential as flawless foundation.

Episode Highlights: • From basement beauty to A-list glam • Why great client communication is non-negotiable •The real reason trials happen after you book • Skin prep secrets (red light therapy fans, this one's for you) • How bridal coaching is changing the game for wedding wellness
