The Story Behind The Laurels
At The Laurels Bridal, beauty has never been simply about hair and make-up. It's about individuality, confidence and the way you feel when you look in the mirror.
Our story begins in 2009, when founder and lead artist Emily began training in both hairdressing and dental nursing. Two very different disciplines, but together they developed a deeper understanding of facial harmony, proportion and the finer details that make beauty so personal.
In 2014, a passion for hair, beauty and aesthetics evolved into a business. Since then, years of experience, continued education and a genuine love of artistry have shaped what The Laurels is today.
Creative, considered and never confined to one particular style.
We believe modern bridal beauty should be as individual as the bride herself. From fresh, luminous skin and effortlessly polished hair to sculpted, statement-making glamour and contemporary, fashion-led looks, our approach is versatile, current and entirely personal.
Today, The Laurels Bridal is a carefully curated collective of hair and make-up professionals, delivering luxury bridal experiences across Northern Ireland and beyond.
Led by Emily, our collective brings together technical expertise, creative vision and exceptional attention to detail. Whether you're planning an intimate wedding or celebrating with a larger bridal party, we create a beautifully coordinated experience without compromising on quality or artistry.
We understand that your wedding morning is about so much more than getting ready. It's the anticipation, the excitement, the people around you and those unforgettable moments before everything begins.
Our role is to make that experience feel effortless, enjoyable and entirely yours.
Beautifully you. Whatever your bridal style.
Because trends will evolve, but the confidence you feel and the memories you make should last a lifetime.
