My Lovely Wedding offers styling, wedding planning and lots of pretty inspiration. It started as a blog in May 2012.
Previously posted on February 17, 2016 I met Donna just before the summer and I loved her from day one. I remember on one occasion which was just after I found out I was pregnant, we met at Lime Tree Cafe in Jumeirah and she parked up just before I did. She walked up to say hello and said, ‘I hope you don’t mind, but I’m with my child’. (She brought her son with her) I replied with “I’m also… Keep Reading
I remember this wedding being one of my first destination weddings and I absolutely loved it. I was so lucky that the couple trusted me with everything. They lived in Europe and were flying out to Dubai to get married. I provided them with a mood board, a budget and my they rolled with it. It made me realize that having your clients trust is one of the most important things, and since then I vowed to work my butt… Keep Reading

If you’re a regular reader at MLW, you’ve probably realized that I’ve been doing a venue tour this summer. As a wedding stylist it’s so important for myself and Kara (our lovely planner) to know what’s on offer in Dubai, and what will suit our clients. It saves a lot of time in the first stage pf planning and it makes us sound a bit smart, like we know our stuff 😉 which obviously we do! We have always focused… Keep Reading
Are you still on the hunt for a venue for your Dubai wedding? You probably wouldn’t think that the Address Dubai Mall would have much to offer would you, but it does. The newly refurbished hotel is stunning. The carpets are soft and lush, the kind of lush that you feel under your feet even when you’re wearing shoes. Everywhere you turn is a stylish accessory placed perfect on a shelf. The ballroom is so simple and once again The… 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
