An Ottoman Fantasy Wedding

When we began designing this magical wedding, we took inspiration from the couple's artistic backgrounds and the richness of Ottoman-Venetian history to create a sumptuous and unique wedding fantasy for the couple and their 350 guests.

Rich velvet curtains and wall frescoes that we painted ourselves were hung about the walls, along with handwoven carpets and tapestries, and everywhere, crystal candelabras and Venetian-inspired mirrors glistened with reflections of love and celebration.

After dinner, doors concealing hidden rooms were opened, revealing treats rooms for guests to discover, brimming with magical costumes, video booths, Turkish coffee fortune-tellers, and of course lots of Turkish Delight...

Inspired by the couple's lives in Europe, New York and Istanbul, we crafted an opulent setting with a modern twist, where East meets West, old meets new, and everything is steeped in the mystery, magic and romance of timeless love.
