At Dolls By Sophia, we believe your bridal glam should feel timeless, elevated, and most importantly, like you. We specialize in soft, refined beauty that enhances your natural features without ever feeling heavy or overdone. Our signature style is polished, feminine, and designed to photograph beautifully both in person and on camera. Every detail is carefully curated so you feel confident, comfortable, and effortlessly beautiful throughout your wedding day.
Living in Miami, we understand how important longevity is. Our team takes pride in creating glam that holds up beautifully through heat, humidity, happy tears, and hours of celebrating while still looking soft and natural. Many of our brides tell us their glam lasts well over 10 hours.
With over 7 years of experience and a talented team with backgrounds ranging from 5 to 20 years in the beauty industry, we provide a luxury on site experience tailored to each bride’s vision. Whether you love soft natural glam, bronzed glowing skin, classic elegance, or a more defined bridal look, we work closely with you through consultations, trials, inspiration photos, and personalized planning to bring your vision to life.
What truly sets Dolls By Sophia apart is the experience. With a background in bridal and event coordination, Sophia understands how emotional and important wedding mornings are. Our goal is not only to make you look beautiful, but to create a calm, organized, and stress free environment where you feel genuinely taken care of from the moment you sit in our chair.
Originally from Chicago and now based in Miami, Sophia created Dolls By Sophia with the vision of offering brides a personalized luxury beauty experience that feels seamless, elevated, and unforgettable.

Hi Brides! I'm Sophia :) the owner and lead artist behind Dolls By Sophia - Miami's Elite Bridal Glam Team.
My love for beauty started at a young age, growing up around my mother's salon as she worked as a beautician. Watching women leave feeling more confident inspired me to create that same experience for others.
I originally began my career in Chicago as an event coordinator, planning large-scale events and developing a strong passion for organization, attention to detail, and creating seamless experiences for clients. While I loved the industry, I realized my true passion was in beauty. Building Dolls By Sophia, I ensure every bride enjoys a stress-free and luxury experience from inquiry to "I do."
Starting in Chicago allowed me to perfect timeless soft glam looks, while moving to Miami expanded my artistry into luxury full glam. With over 7 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working with brides in multiple cities and creating looks that are customized to each client's unique style.
The name "Dolls By Sophia" came from my early clients telling me how they felt like such a Barbie doll after their appointments. Today, our team has grown to over eight talented artists who share the same passion for detail, luxury service, and making every client feel their absolute best.
Helping women feel beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of their lives is truly the most rewarding part of what I do. I'm so looking forward to meeting you and am honored to be considered to be a part of your bridal journey!

Sophia did the makeup for my niece’s wedding, including mine, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, professional, and posi...
tive energy to what could have been a very hectic morning.
She took the time to listen to what each of us wanted and created looks that enhanced our natural features while making us feel beautiful and confident. As someone a bit older, I especially appreciated how she made my makeup look elegant, fresh, and age-appropriate. I still looked like myself—just a more polished version.
The bride looked absolutely radiant, and everyone who had their makeup done was thrilled with the results. Best of all, our makeup photographed beautifully and lasted all day and well into the evening.
Sophia is not only incredibly talented, but also kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about her work. She played a small but meaningful part in making my niece’s wedding day even more special. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for a wedding or any special occasion.
Thank you, Sophia, for helping us all feel beautiful on such a memorable day!
