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.
Back in December, I styled Saffiya + Hassan’s engagement party. The party was held at Saffiya’s family home in Arabian Ranches. Luckily they have the nicest garden with a lovely water feature set right in the middle surrounded by trees and matured plants. It was my ideal venue for a small event and I’m so glad they kept it at home. We squeezed in dining tables and worked with the gardens little nooks and corners. Bernie + Bindi photographed the… Keep Reading
This time next week I’ll be gathering favours, stationery and personal touches in preparations for Norris and Min’s wedding day. They will be getting married at Magnolia, Al Qasr with 80 guests flying in from around the globe. They live in Hong Kong but met in Dubai a few years through mutual friends. From the first time Norris and I spoke on the phone I knew I was going to love styling her wedding. She’s such a sweetie, and you can’t… Keep Reading
Happy New Year! I’m starting the year off with a very pretty pre-wedding shoot photographed by my friend Abbi Kemp. She spent an afternoon with Steve and Christine in the desert a few weeks prior to their wedding back in November. I actually had the pleasure of talking to Steve about decor a few weeks before, and recall first hand how lovely they both seemed. I can’t wait to see the wedding photos soon! For more beautiful images check out… Keep Reading
OK so most people know that I’m a dog lover. I have two pet pooches; Charlie & Ferguson, whom I love dearly. They are my first children, dog children that is. I’m fully aware they are not the same thing as my baby Adeline. That would make me a bit crazy, however… I love them crazy amounts. I’m the sort of person that will nearly always go ‘awhhh‘ at any dog photo that pops up on my news feed on… Keep Reading
Today we have a lovely ‘Save the Date’ shoot to share with you captured by the girls at Candid Kama. The is one reason why I love this shoot is because it screams ‘Old Dubai’. Location is key to any good shoot, and the combination of local architecture and modern day street art make for a very cool backdrop. Ramya and Lesley are both Indian and grew up in the UAE. They’ve known each other for 15 years and grew up together,… Keep Reading
Back in the early September Dubai wedding photographer; Liz and I teamed up to create these beautiful images. I came along to with some styling props to make Kenny and Ivy’s engagement shoot a little bit more lovely. I remember the day well because we were both only about 8 weeks pregnant, and seriously struggling with the heat and feeling tired. I felt worse for Liz because she was the one taking photos and directing. It was a tough afternoon… Keep Reading
I LOVE it when a bride brags about a photographer… especially when she’s my bride too. I met the lovely Elena just after the summer and we had a good old chat about weddings and decor. A week later she hired me to help style her wedding. I immediately loved her, and I knew she would be an easy bride to work with. Her upbeat personality and kind heart made liking her easy. After her pre-wedding shoot with Dubai wedding… Keep Reading
Clarisse & Tim will soon to be getting married, and what better way to get you in the wedding mood than spending an afternoon with Dubai wedding photographer; Abbi Kemp. Actually spending any afternoon at The Farm will put you in a good mood, if you haven’t been it’s actually amazing. It’s also a hot spot for photographers as the surroundings are so lush and green, and they have the cutest little bridge, that make for the prettiest pictures. {As… Keep Reading
When a client gives you amazing feedback it’s only right to share it with the world. This is something I never do… probably because I’m too busy to gather my notes, cards and thank you letters and update my blog with words from my happy brides. I also feel a bit shy about it. It may sounds silly but I hate bragging about my work. I’m so much happier just quietly making my brides happy and sharing their excitement with… Keep Reading
Do you remember that time when it wasn’t so hot? When you didn’t feel a sweat coming on the moment you stepped out the car? Ah… it feels like a long time ago doesn’t it. Lets just say summer has arrived and my days of outdoor shoots are over.. for now 🙂 Lol anyway…. a few months back my good friends; Bernie & Bindi (Bernard Richardson Wedding Photography) asked me to help with a photo shoot for a lovely couple… Keep Reading
