Alizeh reflects on the ways Thailand was the right choice, and how the most important
day of her life came to fruition.
What made Thailand the ultimate wedding destination?

value for money. I always feel like I belong.” ALIZEH

What were your most memorable moments?
“Each event was special, from the games and balloon-releasing
during the mehendi ceremony; to the hotel’s transformation for
our Alice in Wonderland-themed sangeet; to our white party on
the beach at sunset, where I walked in surrounded by my best
friends in a puff of coloured smoke. It was the stuff dreams

are made of, and everyone at Magnificence Events, who have
become like family to us, made that dream come true.”

Why did you choose this hotel?
“It had the most beautiful beach where the sun sets right into
the water in front of the hotel. The rest of the hotel’s function
spaces met our requirements perfectly, particularly the
marquee they set outside. Moreover, the chef was amazing
and allowed me full control of the menu. The food was
scrumptious and completely different for each function. I’m
sad I didn’t get to eat more!”

Which designers did you pick?
“Pakistani designers Aziz Ali and Kokab Zia made my mehendi

outfit and my completely hand-embroidered sangeet outfit,
respectively. For my sunset party, I chose to go with Australian
label Paolo Sebastian by Paul Vasileff, who custom-made my
dress all the way from Adelaide, Australia. Each designer was a
dream to work with and made my outfits to utter perfection.”

Who designed your jewellery?
“For the sangeet, I wore very old, traditional pieces that
belong to my mother. For the sunset party, I used Liali
Jewellery and Al Anwaar Jewellers from Dubai.”
