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.
There’s something about old fashioned Christmas films, the kind that are satisfyingly full of cheesy goodwill. Perfect around this time of year, so let me share six of my feel-good festive favorites! Meet Me In St.Louis (1944) Christmas with the Smith family. I cannot think of anything more welcoming and charming than their grand old house with its glowing oil lamps, and gaggle of family members clattering merrily around. It follows the life of the family through the seasons of… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year when we celebrate the cooler weather, gather with our closest friends and family and reflect on the year that has just passed. The festive season is upon us and I couldn’t be happier. Lets face it, 2020 sucked. It’s been pretty horrific for so many of us; myself included and as a Christmas obsessed stylist I’m hoping our little boxes of hand crafted festive love will brighten up your December. You need a little sparkle… Keep Reading
It’s the 1st April 2020 and our little world has been turned upside down by a virus. When I read that weddings and events had been cancelled for a few weeks my heart broke, 4 weeks ago I don’t think anyone would of thought this virus would be the reason out lives have dramatically changed. Events cancelled, ok that sucks, school cancelled for a few weeks… hmm ok. But it’s got worse. Fast forward a few weeks and things have… Keep Reading
What’s my favorite part of a wedding ceremony? It’s not the flowers, or the beautifully styled arch that stands perfectly behind the groom as he waits for his bride. It’s the part when she walks in, everyone stands to watch her entrance and its at that moment I turn to look at him. It’s a smile that you can’t quite explain. It makes my heart melt, and more often than not I end up with tears falling down my cheeks… Keep Reading
“Once we decided to do our wedding in Dubai, the next step was to look for a planner and I think I went into shock at the prices I was receiving for what I thought was a simple and elegant wedding. Dubai is insane! Feeling distraught and quite hopeless, my husband and I were searching online for other potentials and we stumbled upon My Lovely Wedding. Something instantly felt right, and it was “love at first click” we had found… Keep Reading
It was such a pleasure helping Laura and Simon plan the styling elements of their Dubai wedding. I helped connect them with vendors and took care of their wedding decoration for the ceremony and dinner reception. I was so lucky that they trusted me to ‘do my thing’. Letting go and trusting something to plan the biggest day of your life is kind of a big deal. Thanks to Morning Jacket Films we have it all on film. Fairmont The… Keep Reading
I recently visited the new Vida Hills and I was so impressed. Every inch of the hotel is shiny and new and it’s quite obvious that the interior design team have done an extremely good job at making this new property inviting, cool and comfortable. The hotel isn’t huge and when you first arrive it feels a little strange because the reception is on the 1st floor, but once you step out of the elevator on level 1, you instantly feel relaxed….

Back in November 2018 we were lucky enough to help Tim and Yurie with their wedding at Magnolia, Al Qasr. We met the year before but didn’t step in until much later because they had already got the planning side underway and basically needed help with the on the day coordination and making the venue look pretty. The budget wasn’t huge, but that was fine because we got creative, focused on plants and put their budget into the things that… Keep Reading
Back in March, I had the pleasure of styling Sophie and Brians lovely wedding. I’ve been so lucky with my brides and I can honestly say I have the best job ever. They trust me with their wedding day decor and when I see everything come together with the way I envisioned it’s like the best feeling ever. Working at One and Only Palm Jumeirah is always a lovely experience because the venue is so nice, it really doesn’t need to be… Keep Reading
Back in October, I styled Tope + Bolu’s wedding. We had first met back in April when they were on vacation and planning their wedding here in Dubai. Both originally from Nigeria, they live in London so having a destination wedding seemed like the perfect fit for a gathering of family and friends. Kara helped with on the day coordination while I styled the wedding and took care of all the pretty details. Lucky enough for me, they trusted my… Keep Reading
