Ann Krause is the founder of Beauty by Ann Krause, an award-winning Chicago bridal beauty team known for creating calm, organized wedding morning experiences and bridal beauty that honors who you already are—never overdone.

After years of working with brides throughout the Chicago wedding market, Ann realized that wedding day beauty is about more than beautiful hair and makeup. It’s about helping brides feel confident, supported, and fully present throughout one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

Today, Ann leads a team of talented artists who specialize in natural to soft-glam hair and makeup designed to enhance—not transform. Brides often appreciate her organized approach, attention to detail, and commitment to making the wedding morning feel effortless from start to finish.

When she's not working with brides, Ann enjoys exploring Chicago by bike, spending time with loved ones, and enjoying a great cup of coffee.

Ann and her team look forward to helping you feel like the very best version of yourself on your wedding day.
