This wedding in Qatar will feel like a stroll in paradise, we promise! The designer made her way to the annals of history, particularly back to the 19th era, to bring the bride’s love for historical art movement and interest in vintage fashion to life. 

Here's a tip: when it comes to wedding planning, it's exhilarating to send a little sneak peek to your guests before the big day and put them in the festive feel. This bride definitely got the memo and has chosen invitation cards with artistic designs inspired by Alphonse Mucha, giving a hint of the theme, color palette, and mood of the wedding. On the inside, the invitation card illustrated Hotel Tassel in Brussels, the main design direction of the wedding itself. 

We hold a special place in our hearts for the timeless magic of the Art Nouveau period, especially when it's highlighted in the name of love. This celebration was definitely one for the books, going above and beyond guests wildest dreams! The memorable experience starts by the first glimpse of the hotel façade, designed with  Art nouveau elements including the Louis Comfort Tiffany lamp, while the hotel lobby was bursting in thematic visuals. What a greatly sophisticated and stylish way to greet guests !

Created with passion and a sense for aesthetics by artists and designers from all around the world, each angle in this outwardly reception was our favorite. The first stop was the library, and avid readers, this one's for you! The romance of a vintage-inspired library was channeled with a pile and stacks of personalized antique books to acknowledge the bride’s love for literature, and peacock-mascots of Art Nouveau motifs beautified every corner. As you embrace your inner bookworm, you will be surprised by some sweet favors found inside the novels. But wait, it gets better: the Alphonse Mucha-inspired abaya card was also designed as a bookmark ! The entire experience ignited a deeper appreciation for literature, old world charm, and noteworthy elements of this famously ornamental style within us.

As you turn around, you’ll encounter a soft and delicate center-point at the core of the welcome area. Inspired by the jewel of Dior Prestige, an oversized rose drawing botanical inspiration from Monsieur Dior’s favorite flower took center stage. Alongside, a refined selection of the most luxurious perfumes were showcased in a sleek, chic, and fashion-forward style.  

The powder room was themed off of the Samaritaine department store in Paris, giving it that Art Nouveau era touch with  the surrounding romantic walls, perfect shade of sweet sage, and yellow tones adding more life to the glamorous space. We’ve never thought we'd need vintage inspired European-chic vanities until we stepped inside this exquisite and refreshing room!

Few steps in and your hearts will skip a beat as you glimpse a gleaming infinity mirror room, introducing modern grace and ancient mystique to the night. The room featured twinkle lights suspended from the ceiling and reflecting all around, with a seemingly infinite field of white flowers. As you wander through this artwork, you'll find a monochrome island of chic desserts that are too tempting to take No as an answer. An artisanal menu was produced with a focus on the finest details, starting from a secret garden with genius cakes notched up with flowers, petals, and leaves.

The term “iconic” was well represented in this soul-of-spring reception: A space that will lift your spirit and keep you dreaming for days if not years! Not only will you come across an angelic scene filled with mesmerizing artwork, but you’ll sense the aura of spring springing inside. Incredible floor-to-ceiling wall illustrations dipped in undulating asymmetrical lines, often taking the form of flower stalks and buds, vine tendrils, insect wings, and other delicate and sinuous natural objects. The luminous stained glass ceiling sculpted an ethereal and meditative surrounding with a mirrored botanical design and represented an opening for light acting as a membranous outgrowth of the organic whole. If Mucha and Gustav Klimt threw a party, it would pretty much look like this. Their artwork inspiration extended from the walls, panels, digital displays and down to the smallest detail such as the menu. Speaking of details, the romantic and playful tables-cape presented an artistic blend of real flowers and paper flowers to create a psychedelic style that's graceful and flowing, while delicate butterflies hovered all over the space. Inspired by Hotel Tassel in Brussels, the distinctly stylized and extremely decorative floral setting resulted in an ambience that stands for sensuality and serenity, perfectly fit with the art nouveau feel.

Nothing takes the place of a gorgeous cake that satisfies more than one of your senses. This gallery-worthy three-meter layered cake of perfection toon inspiration from Gaudi's building façade resembling dripping candle wax. It was standing tall like like a statement masterpiece amidst this 19th century-inspired wedding decor, along with various hand-molded cakes that fit the theme perfectly.

For her wedding-day look, the bride opted for a full volume Atelier-versace couture ballgown centered on the signature corset echoing the brand’s illustrious history, creativity, and craftsmanship. Because why settle for basic when your whole wedding is literally out of this world? Speaking of out of this world pieces, the bride was sparkling in Chaumet jewelry and left us dazzled.

There was no item that didn't get its fair share of artistic make-over, even the after-party Mcdonalds meal was a piece of art! Let's just say the swoons have definitely gone off the chart with this wedding !
