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.
Good morning lovelies — So one thing I noticed while attending my cousin’s wedding in Scotland was that attending a wedding with children can be super fun but comes with it’s own set of challenges to say the least. My nephews are both under the age of three and my niece has just turned one. Of course they charmed absolutely everyone they came across but it also got me thinking about how you keep those little kiddos entertained for what… Keep Reading
I’m in a pretty decor kind of mood this afternoon and that got me inspired to look at some lovely ideas for wedding signage, you know as one does. It’s just what we wedding bloggers like to do in our spare time. As Joelle would tell you, signage is a pretty key component of styling any wedding. Firstly, you kinda need it to tell guests where to go and what to do obviously but you can also have lots of… Keep Reading
Hello hello – We’ve missed you! We had to do a little bit of technical work on our server over the weekend so we apologise sincerely if you’ve been missing your daily dose of MLW. Not to worry, we’re back today with a few rather lovely ideas you can use for your guestbook. Let’s be honest, the whole traditional guestbook can come off as rather dated and it usually involves one person having to chase people into signing it throughout… Keep Reading
It’s all about a little decor inspiration today and we are talking lighting. As a stylist, Joelle talks a lot about the importance of creating the perfect ambiance with how you light your wedding. And it’s no surprise that we love candles, candles and more candles as the perfect way to do this, especially when you create a rustic touch with a perhaps a faded wood lantern or of course using mason jars (I know, I know we love mason… Keep Reading
Last week I met with Rebecca and Paul from Innovative Hiring at one of my favourite hangouts at Dubai Mall; Social House. I’ve been using Innovative Hiring since I started styling weddings, and until this day I cannot fault their service or products. In fact if it wasn’t for budget restrictions on some weddings I would use them every time. After an hour of chatting about weddings, furniture and our small but very lovely wedding industry in Dubai, I realised that like… Keep Reading
I love it when I get a random submission from a photographer who I’ve not discovered. It’s like someone giving you a bunch of flowers for no reason, or your best friend saving you the last piece of cake. It feels good. Anyway, a few weeks back I opened my inbox to discover a gorgeous wedding submitted by Australian photographers; Blumenthal Photography. Lauren and Chris got married in January last year at Sault Restaurant, Daylesford VIC surrounded by field of fresh lavender… 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
Mint green is slowly becoming my favourite colour. If you asked me 3 years ago what I thought of mint green I probably would of shrugged and said something like…. ‘Mehh I don’t know, whatever’. However, team it with gold, blush pink and a sprinkle of glitter and it becomes instantly more appealing. While I was browsing Pinterest for inspiration for one of my November weddings I found myself swooning over some of the prettiest decorations I’ve seen in a… Keep Reading
Friends of mine often ask what I do as a stylist. I get the impression that not everyone is familiar with the title ‘Wedding Stylist’, and often confuse it with a wedding planner. I’m not a wedding planner. I don’t plan weddings, nor do I manage the logistics or bookings of vendors. I do however consult and advise, and then leave the booking part to the bride. I guess you could say I am about 50% wedding planner… maybe. My… Keep Reading
