Discover this evolution in wedding production and design in Hyperabad, India. On a 106000sqm empty land, this wedding was constructed from scratch, including the main road, which was built and paved especially for the occasion, crazy right? The reception hall was just as crazy (if not more): A floor-to-ceiling Lavender dream that hypnotizes all your senses at just one glance, with larger-than-life opulent structures proving that the sky is the limit! Our favorite part would probably be the floating island-inspired lounges surrounded by 360° of running water, taking this party to new heights.

Joy and Joseph's Wedding

This couple chose to vow love eternal before their closest and dearest in the city of light, Athens, and we couldn't but swoon over every passing moment of that day. A taste of the ancient Greek world was emphasized through the architecture, the art, and the traditions. The reception, inspired by the ruins of Acropolis of Athens, was brimming with floral adorned table-runners, flickering candles, and customized tableware creating a relaxed, charming and delightful ambiance. The bride looked like a Greek goddess in her iconic Zuhair Murad dress while walking down the aisle in the same cathedral where prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark got married. In a city known for its symbolic myths and love Stories, this one will always be our favorite.

Sulmas and Mohamad's Wedding

Just like the world-famous Parisian cabaret the Moulin Rouge, this party is evoking the French Belle Époque, bringing the mysterious and risqué atmosphere of a cabaret to Amman. The night was a full experience by all means, the couple even had the hotel fully reserved for their guests, spoiling them with customized beddings and delicious bites. The night was flowing in glitz and retro-glam elements for a 'Soirée Magique' with deep color scheme, sumptuous red velvet linings, and soft furnishing to intensify the sensuous and dramatic mood. And now to further ignite the spirit of 'joie de vivre', the wedding even had its very own retro arcade game corner, back-to-back exquisite entertainment shows, and five A-list celebrities live perform. Attending this wedding, one feels that romance and love sure must have been invented here! You can read all about this extravagant night here!

Athba's Wedding

Celebrating nature's greatest gift, "water", in all its forms through the lavish chrome waterfall and down to the smallest rain droplets, had turned this wedding into a paradisal space, putting it in a whole league of its own! At the center of the ballroom, an 80-foot waterfall installation cascaded with a dramatic metallic splash, while a ceiling of golden deconstructed feathers and illuminated orbs induced its fair share of wanderlust. This night reinvented luxury in the most inspiring way!

Dana and Darweesh's Wedding

If there ever was a wedding that is bound to inspire you to choose the Grand Budapest Hotel as your wedding theme,then this will be it! Influenced by Wes Anderson's movie, the couple wanted their guests to re-live the iconic film in every small detail and transport them back to the 1930's: From being greeted by the hotel concierge guiding them to the reception desk, luggage trolleys roaming around, vintage room keys as escort cards, to a replica of the timeless Grand Budapest Hotel's façade inside the reception area. The bride looked dazzling in a Georges Hobeika killer gown as she danced the night away on the movie's famous theme songs. Fun, artsy and Epic themes always get a big thumbs up from us.

Ria and Vendant's 3 Day Celebration

We’ve come through many wedding traditions, but one our favorites has to be this multi-day blowout! An absolutely unbridled Indian destination wedding in the Dead Sea, which was celebrate in not one, not two, but three days straight! Having a 3-days destination wedding in Jordan allowed this couple to incorporate every one of their desired traditions into the consecutive lavish and luxurious events and we're about to take you through it all. On Day one the couple had a unity sand ceremony in the sundown dinner, during which the groom and his friends threw a flash mob surprise dance for the bride. Day two started off with a Mehndi celebration bursting with bright shades and retro vibes, and of course never without a henna artist impressively decorating the guests' hands with fresh henna paste. At night, a sangeet celebration took place, where the couple’s families and friends each prepared thoughtfully choreographed and fun performances. Day three is when the two became one. The day started with the Baraat where the groom made his epic entrance to the ceremony followed by the bride's magical appearance on a boat across the water, overloaded with red flowers perfectly matching her majestic outfit. The wedding reception was inspired by one of the world's seven wonders "Petra", and it was the dreamiest closure to a series of unforgettable mind-blowing events.

Najwa and Mohamad's Wedding

Now this is one wedding celebration that captured our hearts in a fraction of a second! Perfectly bringing the Marrakesh aura to the heart of Qatar, this wedding celebration is a full-on experience that transported guests from reality to a full-onMoroccan Dream. Made for those who have a sense of art and aesthetics, the lovely, styled reception combined two of our favorite styles – Boho and Moroccan. Bold poufs, wildflowers, golden serve-ware, spicy color palette, exquisite blend of copper and brass, nourishing blue color and other exotic elements gave this wedding an eclectic, cozy ambiance for an outdoor soirée that is all inviting and loaded with chic trends. The vision is a perfect choice for those who are looking for a unique and magical experience with a flamboyant, edgy and eclectic flair.

Noof and Abdallah's Wedding

No surprises here, this extraordinary wedding was destined to make it to our Top 10 list the moment we laid our eyes on it. International designers gathered from all around the world to translate the bride's passion for art into the wedding of her (and our) dream, by transforming an empty exhibition hall in Qatar into a futuristic gallery overloaded with the bride's favorite and most famous contemporary artworks. The hall was divided into various separate rooms, each offering an over-the-top artistic experience inspired by masterpieces by Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Valdés, Dalí, and other famous artists. It’s art, but not as you know it! Fantastical and intricate elements took center stage during this celebration of art in its endless forms varying in size, scale and color.
