My Lovely Wedding - Dubai Wedding Planners + Styling
My Lovely Wedding offers styling, wedding planning and lots of pretty inspiration. It started as a blog in May 2012.
So it’s December and I LOVE Christmas. The hotels have decked out their lobby’s with over-sized trees and lavish amounts of decorations, which seems to put everyone in a festive mood for the holidays. I realise not everyone celebrates Christmas but you have to appreciate the decor… come on, large trees decorated in lights and shiny balls? Love it! This year I had a bright idea to buy some simple green wreaths and decorate them at home. I also went… Keep Reading
Funny enough I’ve only ever used bunting at a wedding once. It was my very first wedding I styled after my own. Bride Claudia had a very small budget for her intimate Yacht Club wedding, so I used what I had in stock to dress up the very simple room. Tassels of red and white checked fabric saved the day. With the help of my styling side kick Rupa, we made over 60 meters of tassel bunting in only 4 days. It… Keep Reading
If you’re on a tight budget and can’t afford to spend more than AED 300-400 on a floral centerpiece for your wedding (The average is around AED 500-600) then I would suggest swapping the few flowers you can afford for a full table of candles. Of course this depends on your theme but if you want to create a WOW centerpiece then I personally think a huge cluster of candles will have a much bigger impact than a small arrangement… Keep Reading

Last week I prepared myself for a visit to Dragon Mart. For anyone who doesn’t know where or what is DragonMart, then let me explain. In a way one might describe Dragon Mart as a giant Chinese mall. Selling mostly Chinese products, the 1.2 Kilometer-long Dragon Mart is the largest trading centre for Chinese Products outside mainland China. It’s also boasts to have over 2,500 parking spaces, which is interesting because I can never find a parking spot… then again… Keep Reading
It’s been so long since I posted a DIY blog, and it saddens me because I love them so much. As many of you know I recently launched ‘www.lovelystyling.com’ and more often than not styling weddings allows me to be creative. I make favours, customise old furniture, and spray paint pretty much anything in sight. (I’m a rather messy crafter) My most recent wedding was for one of my favourite couples; Sophia and Mark. They got married at The Address… Keep Reading
This fabulous company have made my job as a wedding stylist, that little bit better. E Walls make stickers for walls, floors and pretty much anything with a smooth or shiny surface. They can customise, design or copy your favorite logo. Lilliam, the design savvy founder of E walls launched 4 years ago and late last year she took the BIG step and got herself an office. She has a small team, and between her and her creative side kick they are… Keep Reading
A few weeks back I discovered brides-made.co.uk. A small company who are potty about DIY and all things bridal. After swooning over all of their gorgeous handmade wedding gifts, I decided to get in touch via instagram. Lots of brides tell me that creative gifts and personalised accessories are really hard to find in Dubai, and I sort have to agree. So let me introduce you to Lizi & Leah… “Being friends with a passion for crafts and weddings since we… Keep Reading
