Floral Fridays

Welcome to our first floral friday!

We'll be mixing it up in here, so every Friday we'll be featuring a post on a type of flower or floral arrangements.It could be facts about the flower itself or different ways of how to arrange it in a bouquet.
Todays floral friday is all about Bells of Ireland, which is a member of the mint family.In the language of flowers it represents luck.

This flower does really well in hot and humid climates, which is perfect for a hot summer wedding in Dubai.


Below are some interesting ways of how it can be arranged as a centerpiece. We love how its comprised of mini bells and how it grows into an S shape,making it a fun floral piece.



Have a fun-filled weekend!

Margherita Missoni...The Bohemian Bride

The Bohemian Bride we've all been awaiting to get married just to take a sneak peak of the heiress's much anticipated wedding finally got hitched. She got married in Italy this weekend to her long-time beau Eugenio Amos a racing-driver. 

Margherita built a signature make up look through out the years which was her signature style of beauty, clean and natural was her direction. She usually opted for a bold lip and natural hair.As for her big day it was Heidi-inspired headband braid and minimal makeup, oozing the bride with angelic beauty.



The theme of the wedding was of course non other than "Missoni prints", however the heiress did add her own personal touches, that reflected her own free-spirited personality.

A white daisy was the siganture flower for special guests, for the ladies it was a wreath .

















For the men it was a single daisy inserted in the mens front pocket.















The seating for dining was done in the most untraditional way. Some guests were seated on proper tables while others were seated in a picnic arabesque style seating, with signature Missoni table cloths, plates, napkins and cushions.



















Circular seating brought the guests in a close and intimate setting with amazing Missoni prints.

The absolute team wishes them all the luck + love.

A Leopard affair for R style abayas

Todays event we bring you a romantic rouge  leopard and black love affair.It was a launch for the new line of abayas  for R style.The main color palettes are leopard, black and red.





The Dubai Mall Lounge was the client's venue choice.The event was to showcase her line of formal abayas and to entertain potential buyers as well as her close family and friends.

To tone down the color scheme of leopard, we broke down the floral colors to yellow,  cumin yellow and burgundy. Black vases for the floral arrangements really brought out the vavavoom factor of the whole color scheme and gave it a sleek look to match the darkness of the abayas.

Custom made leopard pillows added something a little bit more personal to the event. Some of the pillows were plain square and some were oblong to lie perfectly next to the rest of the pillows. Gold mannequins complimented the darkness of the black abayas.

absolute events also created special tailor-made black headpieces to be placed on top of the mannequins. One was a huge black flower with different elements used for each petal and the other was mini black peonies with black tulle woven within it.







Guests were able to enjoy the seating area and view the latest collection of abayas.











To accent the sofas we added the leopard pillows made for the client.

The mannequins were disperesed into two areas at the Dubai Mall Lounge. 


    



This seating area was facing a hanger with the rest of the abayas that were not presented on the mannequins.





Leopard printed pillows with the clients logo, were made to match the lounge's color scheme.

Graduation After Party

Last week, we had the most nostalgic event ever, we went back in time to our school days  and had to transform Latifa School for Girls, dining hall into an amazing after party. Our client asked a whole transformation for her daughter's after graduation teatime party. Purple opulence meets Hot Miami was the theme we were going for. The aim of our event was to transfer the fresh graduates into a joyful venue where they really feel that they're all grown up and have reaped what they've sown.This was a true celebration that the graduates truly deserved.

The Before pictures...

 
 The After pictures....

The entrance was reminiscent of the tassle dresses of the 70's which was filled with shades of purple colored ribbons. 
Here's another view of the entrance, after going through the ribbons you enter a bliss of purples and whites.



        The buffet's ceiling was decorated using our custom made tassel chandeliers.      


Floral cylinders were also placed between the scrumptious bite size food.                   





A lounge area was created for the graduates to chill on and dine on.







On this seating area there was an emotional presentation prepared for the graduates to watch after dining. 
Florals for the cocktail tables and sofas.....

The party was a hit among the youngsters, we wish them a fruitful future in their next chapters of their lives.
