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.
OK so it’s probably rather obvious that I am slightly obsessed with flowers. My secret (well, not so secret now) dream job would be to open a small flower shop in Canada. We have no plans to move back now but one day, in the distant future we will, and for some reason I always have a vision of having a quaint little flower shop along a busy high street. I’d sell plants, fresh flowers and on weekends I’d style… Keep Reading
I have a bit of a photography crush on Blumenthal Photography… every time one of their amazing weddings comes into our inboxes I can’t help but swoon. Literally. So today we have a beautiful real wedding all the way from Melbourne. Elise and Julian got married on February 7th 2015 and got set up by their own parents would you believe? Something must have been right as you will be able to be see from the huge genuine smiles on… Keep Reading
How is it Thursday already? I don’t know about you but these weeks just seem to be flying by! Since the weekend is just a few hours away we thought we would share something very pretty today, a rather gorgeous styled shoot that is jam-packed full of some of our very favourite vendors – including cake from Nice Ribbon Atelier and bridal by Vanila Wedding Boutique to name a few. All based in Dubai! Perfect for those of you for a… Keep Reading
With summer now in full swing, it got me thinking about clear blue skies and long sunny days. I’m writing this in England, and usually at this time (7.15pm) it would be almost dark in Dubai, however right now the sun shining and it seems like the perfect setting for an ‘Al Fresco Summer Wedding’. While wondering around my Mums garden surrounded by home grown flowers and organic salad plots it inspired me to put together this collection of stylish… Keep Reading
Dana hired wedding planner, Zainab Alsalih from Carousel Weddings to help her create the most beautiful outdoor wedding at Waldorf Astoria, Palm Jumeirah. On 21st November 2014 320 guests joined Dana and her husband Ammar to celebrate their special day. The planning process… Ammar & I wanted the wedding to be a complete reflection of both our personalities. So we planned every little detail of the wedding with Zainab. Zainab was able to make every little detail that I wanted… Keep Reading
Hello Lovelies, If you’re getting married in UAE then I would imagine you’re getting married at a hotel or maybe a golf club? Unless you’re one of those lucky people who live in a mansion and can fit 200 people in your back garden? Either way at some point you’ll be looking for event rentals. Even if you’re on a small budget or only having 30 guests at your wedding, renting chairs can make a huge difference to the overall look and feel of your… 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
Over the past year I’ve witnessed a number of brides coming to me with the same Pinterest images. It’s becoming rather predictable and some might think that’s a bad thing but I actually rather like it. It helps me figure out what brides really want and how I can make their Pinterest vision a reality on their wedding day. Pinterest is exploding with images from wedding blogs and photographers, and it’s those very images that make brides all over the globe… Keep Reading
Morning lovelies, Today I’m sharing the decor shots from one of my recent weddings at The Kempinski, Palm Jumeirah. Photographed by Women in Wedding, I made sure the girls took some extra detail shots for me… and for you lot. It seems so important to get the details because that’s what inspires the newly engaged brides-to-be reading my blog. I met Cara and Ross via my lovely friend Kara, and as soon as she got engaged and started planning her… Keep Reading
Hello Lovelies, I’m so sorry I haven’t been so active on the blog recently. If I don’t post 5 days a week the guilt sets in and I feel I should apologise. I’m just so busy making weddings pretty and brides happy. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it 😉 Today I’m sharing this gorgeous shoot created by my new friend ‘Jemma-Jade Events’. We met in Dubai a few months back while she was in the UAE… Keep Reading
