At The Laurels Bridal, beauty was never simply about hair and make-up. It has always been about how somebody feels.
The journey began in 2009 when founder Emily trained simultaneously as a hairdresser and dental nurse. While they may seem like very different worlds, that experience created a unique understanding of facial balance, proportion and the subtle details that can completely transform confidence. It was here that the foundation for The Laurels approach was quietly being built.
In 2014, what began as a passion for hair and beauty grew into a business, alongside continual investment into advanced training, bridal artistry and techniques. Over the years, one thing became very clear: weddings were never just about creating beautiful hair and make-up. They were about creating an experience.
Today, The Laurels Bridal is a carefully built collective specialising in luxury bridal hair and make-up across Northern Ireland and beyond. Led by Emily, our team shares the same vision and values: timeless beauty, calm energy and exceptional attention to detail.
Whether you are a bride planning an intimate morning or a larger bridal party requiring multiple stylists, our collective approach allows us to create a seamless experience while maintaining the same high standards and refined artistry throughout.
We believe your wedding morning should feel relaxed, exciting and effortless. From your first enquiry through to the moment you step into your dress, we are there to guide and support you every step of the way.
Years from now, when the flowers have gone and the dress has been packed away, we want you to look back at your photographs and still love what you see.

Bridal Hair Saviour!
Professional, calm and talented!
Exceptional, such a blessing!
She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offering thoughtful suggestions while always respecting my preferences. On each occasion, she created a look that felt polished, yet natural, and completely “me.” My hair and makeup held beautifully and photographed wonderfully, and I felt confident and comfortable throughout each event.
Beyond Emily’s technical ability, her calm and reassuring presence made the experience genuinely enjoyable. It was clear that Emily truly cares about her clients feeling their best.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Emily if you want high-quality hair and makeup delivered with care, talent, and attention to detail.
