About

Bridal Artistry NC provides wedding hair and makeup styling in Wilmington, North Carolina. Owner Barbara began this journey a couple of years ago after over a decade spent in business in Washington, DC. Now, Barbara works with a team of beauty experts who all strive to make clients look as good as they feel for their day in the spotlight. Listening to each client's taste and vision, these experts design a hair and makeup style that helps them shine from the altar to the reception send-off.

Services Offered

Bridal Artistry NC likes to begin each process with a consultation where they will get to know the nearly-wed and follow with a trial to test out the look. When the big day comes around, Barbara and the team will travel to the venue to provide on-site services for the whole party. The artists in this business have an array of talents, and between them can create anything from boho-chic to full-glam styles that can withstand all of the tears of joy and dancing that the day brings.

10/10 Recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my bridal glam team — truly the dream squad every bride hopes for. Lauren and Veronica worked absolute magic on my hair and my girls hair. They listened to every detail, calmed every pre-wedding nerve, and created a look that was elegant, romantic, and so perfectly tailored to what I wanted. My hair held flawlessly all day and night — through tears, dancing, and everything in between.

Sydney and Barb did our makeup, and wow. They made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself without ever feeling overdone. Everyone’s skin looked flawless, our eyes popped in every photo, and the glam lasted through the entire celebration. Their energy was warm, professional, and so fun — exactly what you want around you on your wedding morning.

This entire team is talented, kind, punctual, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect. If you’re looking for bridal hair and makeup that will make you feel confident, stunning, and cared for, look no further.

I’m beyond grateful for them and would choose them a thousand times over.

We cannot say enough amazing things about our hair and makeup team! They did an absolutely incredible job making us feel beautiful, confident, and so special on our wedding day. They truly brought our vision to life, and every little detail was perfection.

Getting ready on the morning of your wedding is such a special part of the day, and they made the entire experience so fun, relaxing, and memorable. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and we felt like the best versions of ourselves! It meant so much to have such talented and wonderful people helping us get ready for one of the biggest days of our lives.

Thank you for helping make our wedding morning so special and for making us feel absolutely beautiful. We are so grateful and couldn't recommend you enough

Great experience - highly recommend!

Barb (makeup) and Holly (hair) did such an amazing job. They were flexible and able to accommodate my extremely early start time. I’m so glad they were able to be a part of my day - they made me and my family feel so special. Especially my mom, she doesn’t get done up much and she felt so beautiful and was so happy!

Amazing talent!!

As a hairstylist in the wedding industry, I’ve worked alongside a lot of makeup teams over the years — and this company truly stands out!!! They are professional, talented, organized, and such a calming presence on what can sometimes be a very high-energy wedding morning. Highly recommend bridal artistry for your special day!

Dream Team!

Barb and Holly are the dream team.

My wedding looked like the United Nations and both of them knew exactly what to do with each skin color and hair texture. Booking was such an easy process and communication was super solid. Prices were more than fair.

Wedding day was chaotic so we followed none of our color-coded hair and makeup schedule yet Barb and Holly pivoted right along with the rest of us without even blinking an eye. Holly even gave my daughter a haircut to accommodate the style she wanted. They absolutely rock. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you so much for making everyone look absolutely stunning for the wedding!

Felt like a princess 👑

Thank you Barb and Holly for making me feel gorgeous! You are so patient, kind, and have amazing attention to detail. My hair and makeup held up all day (thank you for hiding my raccoon eyes!). I appreciate you both - thank you for making our day absolutely wonderful. And thank you for the pep talk to calm my nerves before the ceremony 🤗

Caterpillars into butterflies…

Both Veronica and Barb were exceptional. Our son was getting married, and we needed makeup for four and hair for five. One of the five was our son, who has shoulder length hair. Veronica did a fantastic job, and his bride loved his look! She was able to make all my daughter’s hairstyles really shine! I had never seen them all look so pretty together.

Barb was amazing as well, completing four makeovers and making everyone look flawless. And it lasted all day and into the evening. We passed on the fake lashes but loved choosing our lipsticks. She uses excellent quality makeup and was exceptional at tone matching.

Both ladies were personable, gave each client the attention they needed, and made it a fun experience. They didn’t rush, but managed to get us all done in the allotted time.

It was pricey overall, but for the many hours they put in and the multiple services provided, it was very good value for the cost.

I recommend both ladies highly and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Excellent Wedding & Engagement Shoot Makeup & Hair

Barb and Veronica did hair and makeup for my wedding, and they were both phenomenal! Everything looked exactly as I wanted it to, and my mom, mother-in-law, and my sister were all thrilled with their hair and makeup as well. One thing I loved about working with Barb is that she did not require me to have a minimum size bridal party or minimum spend limit, AND she gave each of us a lipstick to keep so that we could touch up throughout the day. I worked with Barb for my engagement photos as well, and she knocked it out of the park both times! 10/10 would work with her and her team again!
