The Designer: Saiid Kobeisy
Internationally celebrated for his impeccable artistry and handcrafted details, Saiid Kobeisy has been a wedding dress icon since 2000. With a longstanding connection to the designer, Wedded Wonderland recently had the privilege of visiting his esteemed Dubai showroom for an exclusive interview feature in our ‘Get Wedded in Dubai’ Digital Magazine. So, we were delighted to interview Simon Rustom, the Head of International Markets, in Australia at the showcase, allowing us to delve deeper into Kobeisy’s global influence.
The Venue and Collaborations
Doltone House Hyde Park served as the perfect backdrop for an extraordinary showcase! Renowned for their unparalleled service, award-winning catering, and distinctive venue collection, the team warmly embraced brides in pursuit of their ideal wedding setting.
Teaming up with industry-leading stylists Vesna Grasso Floral and Event Design, and O&M Events, the captivating ‘Manhattan Room’ and ‘Ballroom’ were transformed into enchanting spaces, ensuring a seamless and lavish experience for all attendees.
Adding an exclusive touch, the Saiid Kobeisy Runway experience with Eternal Bridal, was expertly brought to life by the team in partnership with Natalie Anne Hair, Melissa Sassine Makeup and Christian Louboutin, elevating the showcase to unprecedented heights.
