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.
Morning lovelies. Today I’m back with my 2nd ‘Get to know my wedding mates‘ and it’s all about Justina from Just Happy Together wedding films. She’s one of the talented creatives that makes this film crew so good, the other half is her Fiancé Evan. They spends half the year in Dubai and the other half in the UK. I’m actually a bit jealous because they have filmed some amazing weddings in the UK. If you have some time click… Keep Reading
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

Happy Memories 🙂 So my lovelies I have some rather lovely set up shots from one of my November weddings. Usually I have to wait weeks and weeks to see professional images, but thanks to Nabeela Huda I have them now. Yay!! The Ceremony For the blessing ceremony we used white fold… 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
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
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
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
Magnolia is by far one our favorite wedding venues in Dubai. We have created so many pretty set ups there and most of them all had their own twist. I personally favor wood chairs and simple off white linen with lots greenery but we have been lucky enough to have some clients with a love for color and all things fun. Last November Kara and I helped Tim and Yurie with their wedding at Magnolia, and to be honest we didn’t… Keep Reading
I recently decided to revisit some of Dubai’s most popular wedding venues. Since having kids my time is limited but to stay in the wedding game I believe it’s important to know your stuff hence the sudden desire to reconnect with Dubai’s wedding scene. So last week I caught up with my friends at The Armani Hotel Dubai for breakfast and toured the stylish ballroom and spectacular outdoor space overlooking Dubai fountains. The Armani Pavilion is quite possibly one of… Keep Reading
Back in early December, we completed our last wedding of 2018. It was about 6 pm and our bride Julie and her new husband Ian were about to head back to their hotel room to freshen up before guests arrived back at the evening reception. For about 10 minutes we had no staff around, everything was set up, the candles were lit and Bernie and Bindi managed to get some amazing setup shots before they slipped in to take a look… Keep Reading
