So publication goals for 2016 met with this one! We are beyond excited to be featured in the Ruffled blog with this jaw dropping-ly gorgeous photo shoot by JVR Photography.

When Jessica from The Pretty Pineapple asked me to design the stationery for this shoot she wanted to create something magical and inspiring at one of our favourite venues here in Dubai… Magnolia at Al Qasr. The courtyard provided the perfect backdrop for the shoot, echoing our colour palette with the blue hues of the water canal and silvery grey fronds of the palms that frame the venue. She told the ruffled readers, “The main inspiration behind this shoot was based on one of this year’s favourite pantone colours, and one which we can’t seem to get enough of… BLUE. Shades of blue and grey feature throughout the shoot; with our favourite part being the billowy silk and velvet ribbons. We had the most wonderful team of vendors who came together to create this shoot to inspire our Dubai brides to try something different.”

We featured our letterpress suite on a pale Azure sheet. Our custom designed monogram was etched onto wood for the menus and wedding signs. We cannot get enough of the tablescape with its mis-matched chairs coloured glassware.  And of course our dapper groom and bride in not one but two gorgeous ensembles.
