The Middle East is fast becoming the top choice for destination weddings. With tourism authorities of destinations like Dubai, Ras-al-Khaimah and Oman extending phenomenal amounts of support to wedding planners in terms of venues, suppliers, permissions and so much more, its seems UAE will fast climb the chart to being the Number 1 destination choice for Indians to host their special day!
As a popular destination for weddings, Oman reflects the beauty and romance of these occasions with its majestic mountains and crystal clear waters.
Devika Narain & Company recently designed and produced a gorgeous destination wedding in Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, Musact. The stunning property is nestled in this stunning landscape and will provide a truly unique setting for private celebrations. Here's a sneak peek into the celebrations!
The Bride and Groom
Anusha Patel and Dhrumil Sejpal from Mumbai are not just connoisseurs of good design but party planners and set designers themselves. Speaking of the client brief, wedding designer, Devika Narain explains, "For their wedding, they wanted a design unique to their minimal sensibilities which also appealed to their families' Gujrati heritage so they reached out to us."
THE MEHENDI
The Moroccan inspired Mehendi took place at the Al Bandar Lawns. The colour palette was inspired by the colors of the water in Oman- Shades of sea foam and aqua are offset with lime and a hint of pink.
The vibe was chilled, as cabanas with low seating were interspersed with tables in the lawns. The dance floor was fashioned around Arabic tiles and a large fountain filled with hydrangeas stood in the centre of it.
THE SANGEET
For the sangeet, Devika Narain & Co wanted to create an experience of chic royalty for this evening; something that represents the new age maharaja, minimal and opulent at the same time.
Guests are made to believe that they are at the Sultan’s house for the dinner and the entire ballroom is converted into his dining quarters - the walls represent the old over the top style of Arabic architecture with jaalis and arches.
THE WEDDING
The groom wanted the wedding mandap to be the focal point of the entire afternoon.
Set against the serene aqua waters, the cream and gold mandap was custom made in India. An aisle of pink roses and hydrangeas led to the ceremony area which was draped in calla lilies and glass bells.
THE RECEPTION
The reception had a drastically different design from the other functions. Working along a palette of greens, a large tent was constructed in the lawns and draped in mirrors.
The central dance floor had a hanging cake installation. Hand-embroidered napkins and beautiful white flowers defined the tables.
As a popular destination for weddings, Oman reflects the beauty and romance of these occasions with its majestic mountains and crystal clear waters.
