At The Bridal Glam Group, we listen to our brides and clients in order to give them the glam look of their dreams.

The Bridal Glam Group Wedding date - May 8th, 2026 I discovered and hired The Bridal Glam Group literally 10 days before my wedding day... I was experiencing a major lack of communication from my previous makeup/hair artist which resulted in myself being an incredibly anxious bride! Within 24 hours of first messaging Erica (the owner), she met with me in person to discuss my vision, and got a makeup/hair trial scheduled. She even ordered and expedited matching hair extensions so that I could wear my dream style in time for my wedding! Erica did my makeup and SJ styled my hair; both looks lasted all night long and I truly felt like a princess. I received compliments such as, "stunning" and "breathtaking". Rachelle also helped with hair/makeup for my bridesmaids and their appearances held up just as nicely. I am incredibly grateful I found this amazing team of artists; They practice clear and consistent communication and are worth every penny!

I loveee…LOVE ! I have always been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural!

Alexis was amazing! She made my vision come to life, and she was so positive! My friend recommended her after Alexis did her hair for her wedding. I truly appreciate her work. One of my bridesmaids was anxious because curls never hold for very long and they stayed ALL NIGHT. I don’t know what magic she used but all I’m saying is book her!

I have been a long time client with Bombshell Beauty. Not only can she do amazing things with color and extensions, she can create beautiful wedding pieces! Once I was engaged, I knew she was the one I had to have do my wedding look along with my bridal party! We set up a trial run, answered all my questions, and even supported with creating timelines for the day of. It took away any stress that comes with getting ready on the big day. Shell creates such a comfortable environment while getting ready, we laughed and chatted…our time line was perfect, no one had to rush and everyone was ready stress free for picture time. All I had to do was bring my baby’s breath that I wanted added to my look and Shell provided the rest! She is professional, well organized and will help you achieve that dream look for your big day. She is someone I would recommend whole heartedly (and even after wedding events…she’s the girl you need for amazing color transformations!) I hope this helps any bride out there decide on who to book! Bombshell Beauty is the right choice!

She took time to really figure out how each girl wanted their hair done and everyone was so pleased with her work. Tanya, my makeup artist, was seriously the best makeup artist ever. I am not a girl for full glam or even makeup at all. During my trial, I explained how every other wedding I’ve been in, I feel like I have so much makeup on and I just don’t feel like myself. She listened and she understood. She did my makeup in a way that made me feel like me, but glowy and light and just beautiful which is exactly what I wanted! Everyone just looked so good on my day! Melissa Ann Artistry and Co, gets it. They listen and their execution is amazing!
