Guest lists, dress fi ttings and fl ower arrangements all sounds super-fun, but when trying to plan probably the most signifi cant party of your adulthood – it was a lot. Once engaged, choosing the country where our ceremony would take place was the most challenging. I come from Greek parents but grew up in Australia. My husband is French, and also has family around the world. Finally, we decided to have a destination wedding of a diff erent kind. Dubai and all its desert wonders would be the dock for our wedding – a chance for all our guests to have a staycation that the emirate is famous for. Making this decision gave us back some control as we were able to schedule in venue visits, table-setting selection and food tastings around our work schedules. If you do decide to take fl ight and have a destination wedding in another country, our tried and tested tips from the best wedding planners and luxury event specialists in the business (page 36) will calm any wedding jitters about your big day abroad. Next on the to-do list comes the all-important dress decisions. Diala Abu Issa of Th e Bridal Atelier in Dubai recommends brides-to-be allow: “Four to six months to fi nd her perfect dress. It gives us enough time to work with our designers on accessing more of their collections, order dresses according to their measurements and allows us to place style modifi cations.” Turn to page 28 for more incredible, specialist advice that every bride needs to know before booking in her fi rst fi tting. If you are in the throes of your wedding planning journey (it is wedding season after all) really try and enjoy it all as the one thing all Mrs’ can agree on, is regardless of where their wedding was or what they wore, it passes by in a fl ash but luckily – the memories last a lifetime. Happy planning.
