What is the story behind Pinup Bridal?

Pinup Bridal is a luxury bridal hair and makeup team for the modern bride who wants to feel polished, pretty, and completely herself on her wedding day.

Serving the Carolinas and beyond, our team specializes in elevated, individualized beauty designed to photograph beautifully, wear effortlessly, and feel just as good in person as it looks on camera. From refined soft glam and luminous skin to timeless styling and trend-forward bridal hair, every look is intentionally tailored to the bride, her features, her style, and the overall vision of the day.

But for us, exceptional bridal beauty goes beyond the final look.

The Pinup experience is built around professional communication, thoughtful preparation, experienced wedding-morning execution, and a trusted team of artists who understand how to keep even the busiest bridal parties feeling calm, cared for, and on schedule.

We don’t believe every bride should look the same.

We believe every bride deserves The Pinup Standard — modern artistry, elevated service, and beauty that still feels unmistakably like you.

Fantastic!

We had a large wedding party of 10 people needing services. Pinup Bridal was very responsive and easy to work with. Especially with last minute changes and additions of services. My trial was so fun and informative. The specialists that I worked with were very receptive to any of my concerns and made adjustments to products to address them. All in all, I had a perfect day and my hair/makeup held the entire time. And my bridesmaids....STUNNING. One of them even asked if they would travel to NY and do all future weddings she will be in (she said they were the best and most efficient she'd ever worked with).

This team is worth it!!!

The most beautiful I've ever felt thank you PinUp!

PinUp Bridal made me feel the absolute most beautiful I've ever felt in my entire life, thank you Carolina and Brittany so much for making me feel that way. Whitney was very helpful in coordinating and making sure my ever wish was met and made the experience great. I am so grateful for having this group of ladies for my wedding!

You can not go wrong

Pinup Bridal and Emma are absolutely amazing. 100000/10. She made the morning so much happier and relaxed. She helped me laugh through the nerves and just have a wonderful time. I loved how I paid one price for everything and all was included. I did not have to worry about tipping or any transactions on wedding day.

Lovely folks, lovely hair and makeup!

I used Pinup Bridal for my July 2023 wedding, and can't recommend them enough! My stylist, Sophia, worked with me to help my vision come to life. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. The team did a great job with hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and my mother as well! We had a surprise rain shower during our outdoor ceremony, and our hair and makeup stayed in place and didn't smear! Our guests even raved about how everyone looked great after the rain shower! 10/10 recommend!

Lovely, Fun, Helpful!

I had no idea what I wanted, but my makeup artist and hair stylist figured it out. They were so patient during the trial and the day-of. The two artists we had also gave the perfect energy of calming us down while also hyping us up. They asked wonderful questions and made sure I loved how I looked. They were such wonderful professionals and lovely beings.

Wedding Makeup

We had makeup services for 7 of us for my wedding. I had a trial and they also did my bridal portrait makeup and hair. At my bridal portraits, I liked that girls makeup application more so I asked if I could switch and they said it was not a problem. The girls did a great job and I would recommend them.

Reliable and Wonderful

I had a fantastic experience working with Pinup Studios! The bridal coordinator Heather was very responsive and their booking process was overall very easy to navigate. Jen did hair for me, my mom, sister, SIL, and MIL and she was just such a joy the whole time. She traveled out to my venue about an hour out of Raleigh, was on time, and we all had beautiful hair done! I would definitely recommend them for anyone who needs someone to come out the venue near the Triangle area and who wants a reliable and responsive team.

Lovely ladies made a dream come true.

These ladies were so knowledgeable and supportive. They helped a not girly girl feel like she was a star or princess. The hairstylist did a great job with all of my wedding party and me. I got everything I wanted from this vendor and enjoyed all of my interactions with them

Professional Glam!

Listened to exactly what I wanted. Took their time with the details. Came prepared and were able to get through the bridal party in appropriate time on wedding day. Friendly and professional, and appropriate work for pricing. Gratuity and everything included upfront so no stress on wedding day!
