When Areeba and Mannan came to us for their wedding design, we knew this would be a collaborative journey. With her father deeply involved in the planning and his initial doubts about choosing us as their vendor, there was a mix of excitement and pressure to make this celebration unforgettable.
The process began with sketches, which brought everyone on board and allowed us to refine the details together. Areeba wasn’t sure what type of stage she wanted, and that’s okay—creating a vision from scratch is part of what we do best.
The final design? A breathtaking stage adorned with vibrant red roses, luxurious gold arches, and a shimmering backdrop. It was a perfect blend of elegance and grandeur, reflecting the couple’s personality while honoring family traditions.
On the big day, Areeba’s reaction made all the work worth it. She told us, “This is the best wedding stage I’ve ever seen!” Moments like these are why we love what we do.
Planning a wedding where parents are deeply involved adds a unique dynamic. Their investment—both emotionally and financially—means there’s often more at stake, from ensuring extended family is impressed to balancing multiple opinions. Our advice? Designate a "lead" to streamline the process and allow creativity to flourish.
