Find Your Perfect Bridal Glam Squad (and Why Southern Sirens is The One!)
Let’s be honest—choosing a wedding beauty team is just as important as picking your dress or venue. After all, you’ll be staring at your wedding photos forever, and you want to make sure you look (and feel) absolutely stunning!
But with so many hair and makeup artists out there, how do you know who’s the right fit for you? Do you go for the most budget-friendly option? The most Instagram-famous team? The artist your cousin used?
No worries, babe. We’ve got your back.
Southern Sirens, we believe every bride deserves to feel like the absolute best version of herself. That means no cookie-cutter styles, no overdone makeup, and no stress. Just effortless, natural beauty that lasts from “I do” to last call.
So, how do you find your dream bridal beauty team—one that fits your style, budget, and wedding vibe? Let’s break it down!
Step 1: Define Your Bridal Beauty Style
Before you even start looking for a beauty team, take a moment to think about your personal style and how you want to look on your wedding day.
Ask Yourself:
✨ Do I want a natural and fresh look or full-on glam?
✨ Do I love soft, effortless hair or a more structured updo?
✨ Am I inspired by boho beauty, classic elegance, or a modern vibe?
✨ How much effort do I want to put into hair and makeup on the big day?
If you’re drawn to soft, effortless beauty that enhances your natural features, we’ve got news for you—Southern Sirens is your perfect match. 😉
We specialize in natural, glowing makeup and romantic, undone hairstyles.

Step 2: Know What’s Included (Because Not All Beauty Teams Are Equal!)
Not all bridal hair and makeup teams offer the same services, so it’s important to compare what’s actually included.
Here’s what to look for in a beauty team:
💄 Trial Session – Do they offer a trial so you can test out your wedding look before the big day? (Spoiler: We recommend if it fits into your schedule and budget.)
💄 Bridal Party Services – Will they also glam up your bridesmaids, moms, and flower girls?
💄 On-Site vs. Salon Services – Do they come to you, or do you have to go to them? (Trust us, you do NOT want to be rushing across town for beauty services on your wedding day!)
💄 Touch-Up Services – Will they stay for last-minute touch-ups before the ceremony?
💄 Long-Wear Products – Do they use professional, long-lasting products that can handle outdoor weddings, heat, and happy tears?
At Southern Sirens, we offer on-location, long-lasting, professional bridal beauty services designed for laid-back, easy-going brides. We bring the glam to you so you can sip champagne and relax while we make you look beautiful.

Step 3: Set a Realistic Beauty Budget (and Know What Affects the Cost!)
Let’s talk money for a second.
Bridal hair and makeup can range from budget-friendly to luxury-level pricing, depending on:
💰 Experience & Skill Level – More experienced artists = higher pricing (and worth it!).
💰 Location – Big-city artists may charge more than local, specialized teams.
💰 Services Included – Some teams offer packages that include a trial, airbrush makeup, or extras like lashes and touch-ups.
💰 Bridal Party Add-Ons – If you’re covering hair and makeup for your bridal party, that’s an extra cost to consider.
The Real Talk on Budgeting for Bridal Beauty
- Budget Options ($100-$200): Usually DIY or beginner artists. Might not include a trial or high-quality products.
- Mid-Range ($250-$600): Experienced artists using professional, long-wear products. Expect great quality!
- Luxury ($600+): High-end, celebrity-level service. Great for all-day beauty teams and VIP treatment.
Southern Sirens is right in that mid-range sweet spot—expert-level bridal beauty experience that is affordable. You’ll look and feel absolutely stunning!
Step 4: Look at Their Portfolio & Client Reviews
Now that you’ve narrowed down your options, it’s time to do your research.
What to Look for in a Portfolio:
📸 Do their brides look like themselves? (No overdone, unrecognizable makeup!)
📸Do they have experience with outdoor weddings?
📸 Do their styles align with what you want? (If they specialize in heavy glam, they may not be right for you.)
At Southern Sirens, we take pride in making our brides look naturally radiant—like the best version of you!
What to Look for in Reviews:
⭐ Are past brides raving about their experience?
⭐ Do they mention long-lasting makeup and hair that held up all day?
⭐ Are they professional, friendly, and easy to work with?
A beauty team isn’t just about skills—it’s also about vibes!

Step 5: Book a Trial (And Make It Fun!)
Once you’ve found a team you love, book a trial to make sure you’re happy with the look that you and your team have come up with.
At Your Trial, Pay Attention To:
✔ Do they listen to what you want?
✔ Does the makeup feel comfortable? (No cakey, heavy foundation allowed!)
✔ Does the hair stay in place? (Even with movement and humidity?)
This is also a great time to bring inspiration photos, ask about products, and get excited for your wedding day!
