We’ve had our first glimpse of Dua Lipa and Callum We’ve had our first glimpse of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s Sicilian wedding, and every detail is effortlessly romantic. Set against the stunning backdrop of Villa Valguarnera, the celebration blended timeless elegance with thoughtful personal touches. Delicate bows adorned the ceremony chairs, a beautifully styled photobooth featured embroidered linen and handcrafted crochet versions of the couple, while cocktail napkins carried the heartfelt message, “Stay mad with me forever.”

It’s the kind of wedding that feels both intimate and cinematic, and we can’t wait to see more from this unforgettable celebration. 🤍

What does it take to get married at the Pyramids o What does it take to get married at the Pyramids of Giza?

For Dr. Monica Nayyar + Vivek Nandha: nearly two years of planning, overnight construction after the gates closed, and rare permission granted to only a handful of couples in history.

The Pyramids were closed to the public for the day. Bespoke structures, lighting, and guest spaces were built under strict preservation protocols. And when it was all over, not a trace was left behind.

Every piece of jewellery worn throughout the celebration was created by Vivek’s father in the family’s five-generation atelier. Monica’s bridal looks by Dolly J were layered with heritage pieces from both families, weaving history into every outfit change.

Indian heritage. British elegance. Egyptian grandeur. All unfolding at the foot of the Sphinx.

To close the night, hundreds of lanterns rose into the desert sky as “What a Wonderful World” played over the illuminated Pyramids.

Perched high above the Pacific coast at @villaeyri Perched high above the Pacific coast at @villaeyrie, this autumn styled shoot unfolded like a love letter to Vancouver Island — where sweeping mountain views, soft mist, and golden seasonal light come together in perfect harmony 🍂

From dramatic peaks to thoughtfully curated details, this shoot shows that the Pacific Northwest doesn’t just frame the moment, it becomes part of the story itself. For @fresa_weddings, it was especially meaningful — a return to Vancouver Island after more than 15 years in the destination wedding world, bringing everything full circle in the most beautiful way.
