Wedding Theme Inspiration - Sex In The City Abu Dhabi Style

Wedding Decorating Ideas

If you're like me you will fall in love with this Sex In The City inspired Abu Dhabi theme created by the talented Lindye Galloway and Aimee Grover aka  Lindye Galloway Events. The girls (who are gorgeous in their own right) are featured in the latest Utterly Engaged online magazine (this mag is eye candy overload and love at first sight for me).

 

Pay a visit to their article on Utterly Engaged for all the stunning imagery and intoxicating color, and and be sure to watch their video below to see how they tied it altogether.

To re-create this look on a budget - I'm thinking a sexy evening outdoor affair - drape sheer fabric around the patio or outdoor area, hang colorful paper lanterns, group lots of twinkling candles and exotic Moroccan glasses on low tables, and then throw in as many bright and comfy cushions you can get your hands on. . . . dreamy.

Video Save-the-Dates are such a fun way for couples to express their style and vibe of their upcoming wedding.  With the ability to email the link or place the film on a wedding website, video Save-the-Dates are a very green alternative to traditional paper products as well as saving cost on postage.  It is a very fun and engaging way to get the attention of your prospective guests.
