WELCOME TO THE FALL EDITION

@ L O V E S TA R L O V E S

This autumn brings with it crisp foliage, romantic fall weddings, another Fashion Month, and the much-anticipated return of the PSL. In the spirit of turning over a new leaf, this issue is chock-full of inspiration, starting with all things #WedLuxeTrending (page 10). From the Edgy ‘It’ Girl to our Marigold Muse, we’re predicting the top seasonal trends you’ll be seeing in everything from weddings to interior design.

Speaking of interior design, on page 62 we’re thrilled to showcase Filipino fashion icon Michael Cinco’s absolutely breathtaking FW2017 collection, The Impalpable Dream of Versailles, with baroque couture gowns and menswear inspired by the opulence and splendor of the palace’s famed 17th-century interiors. Along the same opulent vibe, we know you’ll love the dramatic floral shoot on page 30 by florist Timo Bolte who created a modern floral take on Vienna’s baroque architecture.

In this issue’s Professional Profile (page 22), we spoke with Amman’s Majeda Kassir of MY Event Design. As a leader in global event design, her insight into planning a large-scale celebration is eye-opening, to say the least, and we know you’ll be inspired by her thoughts on upcoming luxury wedding trends.

CALI COOL Legendary Los Angeles outfitter Fred Segal teamed up with CB2 for a capsule collection inspired by the store’s famous upscale yet laid-back Californian aesthetic.

Known for creating some of the most lavish weddings in the Middle East and beyond, MY Event Design’s stunning decor often features largerthan-life custom installations and the use of vibrant colours. We spoke exclusively with Amman-based founder Majeda Kassir about what it’s like to work with family, her design inspirations, and the luxury wedding destinations where she’s planning events this year.

Can you tell us how you got started in the luxury event planning industry?

I was always one to host parties at my home, but the very first time I actually planned an event was when a friend of mine approached me to plan an engagement party. Ever since, I knew I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. My fashion design background has been a great source of inspiration throughout my event planning journey—from designs and trends to runways and fashion weeks, everything about this industry creatively motivates me. My frequent visits to the world’s top fashion capitals; London, Milan, Paris, and New York, continuously provide me with new ideas to implement when designing events. I’ve found a way to seamlessly combine the two fields I am most passionate about into one and it has been an exciting journey since then. I am thankful for this, and believe it has played a big role in keeping me ahead of the curve in this dynamic and competitive industry.

We know that your two daughters, Sewar and Maysam, have been involved in running MY Event Design with you.

What is it like to work alongside your family on a daily basis?

After my eldest daughter, Maysam, moved to Abu Dhabi, I was very relieved when Sewar made the decision to leave her position at Shell, a position she held for four years. She took a big weight off my shoulders. Sewar has really brought a lot to the table when it comes to the vision of the company and how to manage and further develop the business. She has also landed the company a few destination weddings that we are thrilled to work on! I admire her entrepreneurial creativity, and I’m so proud of her latest endeavour—MY Entertainment, a talent booking agency based in Amman, Jordan. Even though I oversee and manage every aspect of the company, I am able to focus more on designing the event now that I have Sewar to manage and execute the logistical aspects of each event.

FALL 2017

Tell us a little bit about MY Event Design’s signature design style.

MY Event Design’s signature design style is classy, elegant, edgy, and chic.

We always like to incorporate colours into our designs for a stylish and lively ambience.

From where do you draw inspiration when planning a wedding?

When planning a wedding or event, I draw my inspiration from the elements that surround me such as nature, fashion, hotels, magazines, and travelling.

Tell us about trends in your line of work. What trends have been big in 2017?

2017 is a year of innovative trends when it comes to luxury weddings. One emerging trend is the use of greenery, whereby planners have been using green partitions and hanging greenery at most events! Using less colour and less flowers has also been a new fad. Shiny metallics like gold and silver and mixed patterns have definitely prevailed this year, as well. Geometric designs are also in this year as a source of inspiration for floor planning and wedding themes.

Which locations are currently trending for destination weddings?

Italy, Greece, the South of France, and Portugal.

Can you tell us a bit about some of your destination wedding and event design?

One of the most memorable destination weddings we planned took place in Puglia, in the southern region of Italy. The wedding took place in multiple venues all belonging to the breathtaking resort of Borgo Egnazia. The Apulian welcome dinner included a tablescape consisting of a contrasting and colourful arrangement of basil leaves, tomatoes, peppers, and greenery, all of which are popular local ingredients among the Apulian culture. We even had Apulian artisans, such as a pasta maker, a necklace maker, and a straw doll maker, showcase their local talents. As for the wedding party, this took place at Cala Masciola, the beach that belongs to Borgo Egnazia. Puglia provided the most beautiful backdrop for this occasion. The surrounding mountains and Mediterranean Sea played a significant part in the magical ambience of the event.

Are there areas of the world you are looking to produce events in in the near future?

MY Event Design is constantly willing to develop and expand. We believe that destination weddings and events are always an exciting experience. We like to broaden our horizons, but there is no specific place we are currently looking at to produce events. Nevertheless, we do plan on designing more destination weddings wherever they may take us!

w w w.we d l u xe .co m

25

What is your process when a bride first contacts you about planning her wedding?

When a couple first contacts us about planning their wedding, we set up an initial meeting—preferably 6 to 9 months prior to the wedding date. Next, we start looking for a venue. It is important to do the venue scouting and selection in the early stages of the planning as everything else depends on it. Then we start with the 2D drawings and the floor plan, which gives the couple an idea of what the seating, the stage, and the different stations will look like. After the floor plans, we start with idea conceptualization followed by design. This step is very important and includes plenty of research.

Finally, we proceed to the floral arrangements, the tablescape and setup, the light and sound, the catering, and the entertainment.

What has been your biggest event planning challenge?

My biggest event planning challenge was actually a wedding we planned and designed back in May 2017.

The wedding was held at a functioning train station outside Amman, which we transformed into a wedding venue. It was challenging due to the nature of the space as well as its location. There was no actual venue; there were only 3 railways, a small office, and a few rooms.

What are your favourite florals and colour schemes to use when planning a wedding?

If I were to choose a favourite colour palette, I would go for white flowers and greenery. I think white is elegant, pure, and lavish, regardless of the occasion. In terms of greenery, I love infusing my events with natural elements. However, for parties, I like to use vibrant colours, such as fuchsia. Fuchsia is striking, eyecatching, and truly stands out!

Choosing a favourite flower is one of the most difficult questions to answer. I do love tulips and English roses, but if I had to pick one type, I would go for peonies when they are in season. The delicate petals, the lush scent, and the fine colours make peonies my ultimate favourite.

What one item could you never live without?

For me, I cannot live without a computer, car, or anything that connects me with the outside world, as I always want to be up-to-date with what is going on around the globe.

When you treat yourself, what do you like to indulge in?

After a long day, I love to indulge in a glass of champagne!

What is your favourite part of working in the event planning industry?

My favourite part about this industry is its challenges and the excitement it brings with it everyday!

There is always something new to experience. No event is ever similar to another; they all have their own personal identity and charm. I also love the transformation of a single idea or rough sketch into a wonderful experience that lasts a lifetime and leaves an everlasting imprint. This is where the beauty of event planning lies.

What advice would you give to those just starting out in the wedding industry?

From my personal experience, my advice to those just starting out is to be patient, diplomatic, and flexible. Aim to learn one new thing per day, no matter how small it may seem, in order to broaden your field of knowledge and to continuously improve. It is also essential to constantly do research in order to remain informed about the latest trends. Draw inspiration from the big things as well as the little things and focus on the smallest details. Be creative, imaginative, original, and resourceful, take chances and never replicate, and always innovate by thinking outside the box. My biggest piece of advice will always be to create your own brand; a reflection of your vision, values, and experiences.

MY Event Design has a home decor and accessories shop in Abdoun, Jordan. What are some of the biggest home decor and fashion trends you’re seeing in 2017?

Our boutique and shop in the prominent district of Abdoun, features home decor items and accessories by international designers. This year, the biggest fashion trends we are witnessing are mixed patterns, the use of marble, jewel tones, and the colour green.

What’s next for MY Event Design in 2017?

We certainly have a lot in store for 2017 and the following years to come! To start off, we will continue to work on our own brand in order to grow and expand internationally. I would like to plan and design more destination weddings. However, as MY Event Design is based in Jordan, I would very much like to introduce destination weddings to the Jordanian market. In other words, I would love to have other people start considering Jordan as a wedding destination. By combining tourism with the elements of art, design, and events, we would encourage local tourism and perhaps make Jordan the next trending wedding destination!

For MY Event Design, the sky’s the limit and we always dream big, therefore, I aim at becoming the leading event planner in the region.

IMPALPABLE DREAM of VERSAILLES For his F/W 2017 collection, Michael Cinco was inspired by the opulence and splendour of the famed palace, with baroque couture designs reflecting the influence of the chateau’s extravagant 17th-century interiors.

LIKE a STONE With gown names inspired by semi-precious stones such as Quartz, Malachite, and Agate, Lian Rokman’s 2017 collection puts a luxurious spin on earthy inspiration. Favouring body-skimming silhouettes and utterly unusual necklines, her new designs are as unique as the stones they’re inspired by and as individual as the women who wear them.
