We’ve been dreaming about photo shooting a wedding at a distant destination for a long time now. Dreaming about getting to know all about a new culture, different wedding traditions… And, you know how they say that when you want something that bad your wishes will come true.  Our beautiful bride and groom from Saudi Arabia saw our work and asked us to be a part of their wedding day. This is the wedding love story about young Saudi couple and their modern wedding in Dubai. Here is a short photo story of their wedding

Destination wedding in Dubai

Weddings in Saudi Arabia are very traditional – men and women must have separate wedding celebrations held in public venues. But, there are more and more Arab couples who want a more modern and relaxed wedding, they want to enjoy and celebrate it together. For many reasons, their first choice is often UAE, more specifically Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Our newlyweds opted for Dubai.  Apart from the sun that attracts many summer lovers, Dubai has a lot to offer to future brides and grooms. Its architectural wonders that you won’t see anywhere else in the world. With glamorous hotels, sprawling archipelagos that were artificially made and stunning skyscrapers, this particular part of Arab Emirates resembles a futuristic metropolis, while nearby you can feel the true charm of desert and desert life. In search of a more modern wedding venue, they chose FIVE Palm Jumeirah beach resort – which is one of the most modern hotels in Dubai. FIVE Palm Jumeirah Dubai is a luxury hotel that simply screams elegance. Located on the iconic Palm Island, it offers beautiful scenery and picturesque view of the Arabian Gulf.

The wedding ceremony was held on the roof of the hotel. Actually, it was the Penthouse Dubai which is on the 16th floor, a rooftop that has one of the most beautiful views of Dubai skyline. Thanks to the experienced wedding planner from Carousel Weddings and florists from Fleurology by Carousel the entire space was gorgeous.

Dubai wedding reception venue: Vista Ballroom

The 14th floor of the Vista Ballroom is a 597 square meters grand ballroom perfectly designed for hosting events. The interior of the entire floor is beautifully designed and decorated with high ceiling windows providing a stunning view of the Arabian Gulf. This spacious room was like we were in a dream – with soft orchid buds peeking from all corners of the room.

In contrast to the multitude of soft flowers and golden and white colors that dominated, in the middle of the ballroom was set a large industrial podium, and their common synergy was very interesting and intriguing.  Take a look at our modern beach wedding in Dubai

Same as other details, the wedding cake was no ordinary too. It was beautiful and dominant like we could hear it screaming “Look at me, I’m here and I’m gorgeous”. Placed near the newlywed’s table, everyone could clearly see golden handwritten initials of our newlyweds.  After the wedding ceremony, their family and friends enjoyed watching the sunset, cocktails, and notes of Violin & Cello Duo and Oud player, while we focused on our lovely couple and did a photo session at the hotel’s beach.  Dubai wedding musicians – DJ Karim and Khalid Fouad were in charge of the dance and party until the early morning hours.

Here you’ll see some of the world’s tallest buildings and modern architecture that will leave you speechless.

It amazed us how many various classy restaurants there are, not to mention ritzy hotels, nightclubs and trendy bars. This city is alive! It was no wonder that it became a hub for weddings and that many couples come here from all around the world to say their “I do’s”.  Something that truly amazed us was perfumery station that was in front of the venue where guests could experience a whole nother level of elegance as they enter the venue.
