Simple but significant was the wedding affair of Myriam and her Wagih.
Myriam’s sweetheart dress with textural trellis embroidery fit her perfectly, her long locks where adorned by a custom headpiece made of endless rhinestones and pearl details. But the prettiest accessory was her smile, it’s so easy to see why it was love at first sight for us.
We also LOVE that the bride wore our trio of golden leaves hair comb in her pre-wedding night party. She rocked it!
Congratulations to the lovely couple

If there is one thing i love , it’s a really gorgeous real wedding and a beautiful bride, inside and out. And while a wedding is also about the unique details, flowers and decor, this wedding to me is all about the bride, Symone.
A vision in white, her dress oozes simplicity and glamour. Her hair adorned with our Melia hair vine, the subtle lip color and the overflowing foliage bouquet representing love, vitality and a delight to the senses.
I absolutely love this couple, to me they felt in the moment and real
Congratulations to Love
xoxo Raquel
If your first dance was by Van Morrison and one of the most featured songs in movies then you are that #goals kinda couple.Seriously.
Dana and Mounir got married at L’Andana estate in Castiglione della Pescaia, a small coastal town in Tuscany. The setting was perfect for the intimate wedding they wanted.
Her look, classic. She could only imagine walking down the aisle in a timeless dress, luckily she found just the one by Oscar de la Renta. We love how simple and soft Dana styled her hair, romantically perfect loose curls adorned by a custom Belles By Raquel hair vine made from delicate flowers embellishments.
The couple’s favorite moments included a song performance by all the wedding guests! Yes this actually happened. The groom’s sisters Tamara and Rania re-wrote the lyrics to “Stand By Me” and handed them out to all the guests who gathered in a circle around the couple and sang the entire song. Everyone really got into it – parents and friends alike – and the couple couldn’t stop smiling.
Another wedding fave came right after the father-daughter dance, the sky parted and a thunderstorm ensued. They moved the wedding right under the venue’s gazebo and continued the party over there. However, the groom and bride’s father had organized a surprise fireworks display so they all gathered under umbrellas and watched as the sky was lit to the music of The Chainsmokers & Coldplay.
It was pure magic.
Basel and Zeena knew each other “since forever “. But on one summer night in Lebanon and one single rose later, the two became inseparable.
When i asked Zeena about her wedding theme, she just smiled and said “Fun” and it was exactly that ! Their first dance was like something from the movies, the dance floor was full all night long and everyone had a great time especially the newly weds!
6 months before her wedding day, the bride contacted me about making a custom headpiece, she was hesitant at first to work with me because my designs were more floral and boho while she was looking for a statement piece to match her pretty ball gown. I thank Zeena everyday for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Together, we created one of the most beautiful pieces ever and on that special day, i had a very happy bride
“I really think the headpiece made such a big statement on the overall look, i’m so glad i made it with you” …. Zeena, i feel the same way
She is sunshine on rainy days. He keeps the clouds away.
Tinia looked like a classic beauty on her wedding day, wearing a beautiful strapless lace dress , her hair styled in a loose up do adorned by our {Zinya} headpiece customized with sparkling rhinestones.
Here are some of my personal favorite pictures from #HatiniaMatata , the wedding of Tinia and her Hanna

A couple beautiful inside and out, a bride in full bloom. We are so into them!
In an intimate setting, gathered by 50 guests, Tala said I Do to her soulmate surrounded by wild flowers, wearing a floral Lazaro wedding dress , adorned by a Belles By Raquel flower crown …. And it was perfect
We made Tala a simple tiara and a flower headpiece made of individually hand stitched velvet petals. The colors matching beautifully with her dress
Here are our favorite moments from Tala’s wedding day

And then you come across one of the most beautiful brides and you have no words to express her timeless style.
I love the way she made an understated statement, a classic veil paired with our twin Titania crowns in silver with white rhinestone and pearl accents.
Here is Danah

Real bride Rawan wore a pearl hair vine with flower details across her natural long locks, i loved how she stayed true to her style, she looked just as pretty and laid back as she did the first time i met her.
Here are a few pictures from her wedding day in Dubai

It was time.
The day came when our love would fade to remain a small flower bud.
Let it bloom, for his love was her favorite feeling. Ever.
