About The Laurels Bridal

We provide luxury bridal hair and make-up services in Northern Ireland, led by Emily, founder and lead stylist. With over ten years of professional experience, we specialise in creating timeless, elegant bridal hair and make-up that enhances natural beauty and photographs beautifully.

Emily began her career in 2009, training as both a hairdresser and a dental nurse over a two-year period. She went on to work in cosmetic dentistry, gaining a detailed understanding of facial balance, proportion and subtle enhancement — a foundation that continues to shape her refined bridal style.

In 2014, Emily launched her hair and beauty business in Plymouth, quickly building a strong reputation. She continued her professional development in Yorkshire with advanced hair colouring and qualifications in HD Brows, Russian lashes, professional make-up, lash lifts and tints, spray tanning, facial waxing, and human hair extensions.

Her bridal career became firmly established in 2016 following specialist training with Fordham Hair Design (bridal), bridal plaiting, and the Airbase airbrushing make-up system. That same year, Emily began showcasing her work at bridal shows, leading to collaborations with editorial make-up artists and work with a high-end British children’s clothing brand.

Now based in Northern Ireland, we offer a premium, stress-free bridal hair and make-up service for weddings of all sizes. In addition to one-to-one bridal styling, Emily is experienced in assembling and managing professional teams, having delivered up to 20 hair and make-up services within a single morning while maintaining exceptional quality and organisation.

Emily continues to stay at the forefront of bridal trends through membership in an exclusive, high-end bridal community, ensuring access to the latest techniques, products and international wedding styles. Every bride receives a bespoke service, tailored to her features, personal style and wedding vision.
