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.
Believe it or not my blog about small wedding venues in Dubai gets the most hits daily. I guess there must be a lot of people trying to find that perfect venue for a small wedding which is great for us because we LOVE small weddings. I’ve been to so many hotels and venues in Dubai and I’m about to list my new TOP 5 VENUES FOR SMALL WEDDINGS in Dubai. So let’s get started. The brand new VIDA Hills… Keep Reading
It’s that time again when I get a bit excited about a wedding venue and hope that I help some lucky couple find the venue of their dreams by writing this blog post. Palace Downtown has always been on my radar but I’ve not been lucky enough to style a wedding there…yet! It’s a pretty awesome hotel with epic views of Dubai Fountains and Burj Khalifa. The viewing deck is amazing, followed by the pool and green gardens just next door. It has… Keep Reading
I recently visited Address Dubai Marina, a venue that I haven’t been to in quite a while. While wedding season is quiet, I’m using my time wisely and reconnecting with venues and vendors before the season kick starts again. The Address Dubai Marina wouldn’t be a venue at the top of my ‘must see’ list because most of our weddings are outdoors, but I like it. It has a huge ballroom that can accommodate 500-600 guests with a decent sized… Keep Reading
It’s officially here! Summer has arrived and outdoor weddings are a thing of the past, well at least for the next few months. Most of us in the wedding industry use the summer as a chance to catch up with admin, travel, visit friends and escape the sandpit. However, for those of you who have just got engaged and are on the hunt for an indoor space with a green exterior and a non touristy vibe you’ll be busy googling… Keep Reading
A few weeks back I spent the morning at The Address Downtown having breakfast which ended in a tour of the beautiful hotel. It was the first time I’d been back since it re-opened and I was pleasantly surprised at the stunning marble finishing’s in the lobby. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a luxury Dubai hotel in Downtown Dubai, and even though it doesn’t have a ballroom it has so many areas which would be perfect for smaller events and… Keep Reading
It’s been a while since we had a wedding at The Address Montgomerie Dubai,and just over 6 years since I got married there back in January 2013. It actually seems like a life time ago that I wore a vintage 1970s lace wedding dress and Manolo Blahnik heels. I styled my own wedding, set up tables and ran around in flip flops setting up jars of flowers before putting my ‘bride face’ on a few hours before I said, ‘I… Keep Reading
Hey hey, The last few weeks have been rather busy and the highlight was when I got together with a bunch of cool vendors and styled a shoot at Arabian Ranches Golf Club. My week started off with coffee (obviously) followed by a flower collection and a full day of prep for last Mondays photo shoot at Arabian Ranches Golf Club. The fabulous international wedding photographer; Maddy Christina flew over to Dubai to create some pretty images which we are so excited to… Keep Reading
I recently decided to revisit some of Dubai’s most popular wedding venues. Since having kids my time is limited but to stay in the wedding game I believe it’s important to know your stuff hence the sudden desire to reconnect with Dubai’s wedding scene. So last week I caught up with my friends at The Armani Hotel Dubai for breakfast and toured the stylish ballroom and spectacular outdoor space overlooking Dubai fountains. The Armani Pavilion is quite possibly one of… Keep Reading
Hello, Lovelies! Are you thinking about getting married sooner rather than later? If you’re not too bothered about the heat and are on the hunt for an indoor wedding venue, then I have two very lovely options for you! First up is Arabian Ranches Golf Club. One of the many perks of getting married at a golf club is you won’t be bumping into happy-go-lucky tourists flashing cameras. It’s private, intimate and because it’s summer I imagine it would be… Keep Reading
It’s been a while since I blogged a wedding I styled at Magnolia, Al Qasr. Last year I had so many weddings there and this year I’ve been spreading the love around other venues. Luckily I just booked a wedding for November at Al Qasr, so I know I’ll be back there again soon 🙂 Kara and I had the pleasure of planning and styling Sayda + Omars two day wedding back in December. (I’ll blog about the traditional Sudanese… Keep Reading
