Luan Bridal & Co

34 today 🥂

No huge life lesson. No “I’ve got everything figured out” speech—because I definitely haven’t 😂

But I have built a bridal career and businesses in a way that feels like mine. There wasn’t a perfectly mapped-out plan, and I’ve changed direction, made mistakes, started again and worked things out as I went.

Experience has taught me the things a tutorial never could: how to trust my instincts, stay calm when plans change, back myself before I feel completely ready and keep building—even when something doesn’t work the first time.

One of the parts I’m proudest of now is being able to take everything I’ve learned and use it to help other women create their own career through bridal hair.

Not just learning how to recreate a hairstyle, but realising that this skill can give you choices, confidence, independence and a business that works around the life you want.

I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built so far—and I’m also honest enough to admit that I still want more. More growth, more freedom, more experiences and more proof that you’re allowed to keep changing your mind about what you want your life to look like.

So here’s to 34: proud of how far I’ve come, but nowhere near finished yet ✨

What’s something you’ve built, changed or achieved that you’re genuinely proud of?

Our gorgeous bride Leens Ah with her bridal tribe 🥹💕

What an unbelievably gorgeous morning getting Aleena and her bridal party ready, this was an extra special morning as the bride & groom had portraits before the ceremony, which was an actual vibe! ❤️

When Aleena first came to her trial she wanted hollywoods waves, and although she loved them, she wanted a much softer look that sit more natural rather than the heavy products and structure Hollywood waves require (future brides, something to take note of, if you’re on who touches your hair and wants natural movement - hollywoods not for you!)

So instead we added a few clips of Remi Cachet Hair Extensions in to add a little thickness and big, soft waves that move when you do ✨and how incredible does she look 👀 and surrounded by the most stunning girls too!

There was laughs, all the vibes and some very cute little flower girls who knew exactly what they wanted 💁‍♀️icons in the making!

We had a big bridal party to get ready which I cannot thank Hair by Gemma Louise Bridal | Occasion hair 🤍 Harrogate for helping assist with a few of the bridesmaids, honestly dream team.

Thank you again for having me as your stylist it was such a pleasure to be part of! I still listen to your mums playlist at home too 😂

Unpopular bridal hair opinion: the back shouldn’t get ALL the attention 👀

I knowwww. The Pinterest photo is always the gorgeous back view.

The bun. The waves. The texture. The detail.

But think about your actual wedding gallery.

You’re going to see your face over and over again.

Walking down the aisle.
Getting ready.
Your ceremony.
Couple portraits.
Speeches.
Candids.
Dancing.

So when I’m creating your bridal hair, I’m not just thinking about whether the back looks pretty.

I’m thinking about the parting, volume, softness around your face, your profile, your veil, your dress — and most importantly, whether you still feel like YOU when you look in the mirror.

Because the best bridal hair isn’t just gorgeous from behind.
It makes you feel bloody gorgeous from every angle. 🤍

Georgia, the sweetest bride 🤍

🤍

A vision of soft glamour, timeless elegance and effortless beauty.

There is something so special about a wedding morning, the anticipation, the laughter, the little moments shared with your favourite people.

For me, bridal makeup is about so much more than the final look. It’s about creating an experience that feels calm, luxurious and completely effortless from the moment you sit in my chair.

Every detail is considered. Every finish is perfected. And every bride deserves to feel utterly beautiful, confident and completely herself.

Georgia chose a beautifully refined soft glam, luminous skin, softly defined features and an elegant finish that will remain timeless in photographs for years to come.

The final look? Simply exquisite.

An unforgettable morning for a truly beautiful bride and her bridal party.

Such a pleasure working alongside the lovely hairstylist Luan 🤍 and an incredible team of talented suppliers.

Oh Annabel 💕what an absolute beautiful person inside and out.

This was such a special morning to be part of to get Annabel and her bridal party ready, a very traditional, elegant, English wedding and I’m all here for it and have you ever seen a more incredible veil 😍 I even had to stand on a couple of steps to get this one on!

We went for a very soft, natural flowing half up which complimented everything about this look 😍

The morning was unrushed, so calm and full of so much love and joy by her closest family and friends, it was really just lovely to be amongst it.

There’s something extra special about getting an old school friend ready 🥹🤎

From school days to now getting to do her hair for a gorgeous wedding at Grantley Hall… one of those little full-circle moments I absolutely love about my job.

And can we just appreciate **this whole look?!** The dress, the hair, everything. 😮‍💨✨

The perfect soft, effortless updo to let that dress do ALL the talking.

Hope you had the most amazing day gorgeous — such a pleasure getting you glam after all these years 🤍

📍 Grantley Hall, North Yorkshire

Remember your wedding morning isn’t all about rushing and chaos…

…it’s about taking time to look at yourself properly, to have a moment to yourself, to relax and enjoy it with your loved ones around you.

There’s so many little moments that fly by and before you know it the day is over and all that planning comes to an end.

So make sure to cherish it, don’t rush, pick your favourite songs, your favourite people, have a glass of fizz (or) a cuppa ☕️ whatever feels right for you and makes YOU happy.

It doesn’t have to be a big editorial magazine style shoot, remember it’s your day, spend it exactly how you want it 💕

My brides who book me don’t just book a stylist, they choose someone who will be there to do the little things you don’t even think of, to read you and know exactly what you need whether that’s my high pitched singing, a calming breath moment, making sure you’ve had food, a glass of water.

Im there every step of the way to make your morning calm, fun & get you ready to walk down that aisle 👰🍸
