For a couple who have already spent five beautiful years together, an ordinary celebration simply wouldn’t do. This Russian duo, based in Dubai, chose to mark their milestone in the most spectacular way possible, an opulent, breathtaking wedding anniversary celebration at Anantara Santorini, Abu Dhabi, captured by the talented Eduard Bugaev. Designed to perfection by the talented Flowerbazar and planned and executed by Svadberry the event was a fusion of romance, grandeur, and artistic creativity, set against the mesmerising backdrop of the Persian Gulf.

A Two-Day Setup for a Once-in-a-Lifetime Celebration

Transforming a luxury resort into a wedding wonderland was no small feat. Over two days and 15 hours, a dedicated team of designers, florists, and event specialists worked tirelessly to bring this extravagant vision to life. From an elegant pool build-up to a ceremony area floating above water, every element of this celebration was designed with perfection in mind.

The event wasn’t just about saying “I do” again, it was a tribute to five years of love and partnership. With every detail meticulously curated, guests were treated to an immersive experience that blended modern luxury with timeless romance.

A Ceremony That Floated on Water

The couple exchanged their vows in a setting that seemed straight out of a dream. The ceremony area was built inside the pool, giving the illusion of floating on water. Soft pastel tones, intricate floral arrangements, and elegant candlelit details created an intimate yet ethereal atmosphere. 48,000 fresh flowers adorned the space, adding to the fairytale-like feel of the occasion.

As the bride and groom reaffirmed their love, the setting sun cast a golden glow over the water, making for a truly magical moment. The combination of natural beauty and extraordinary design set a new standard for luxury destination weddings in the UAE.

A Breathtaking Dinner by the Persian Gulf

After the vows, guests were led to an extravagant dinner area right by the Persian Sea coast. The setup was nothing short of spectacular. Round tables, adorned with lush floral centrepieces, candlelit pathways, and plush seating, created an ambience of refined elegance.

With the sound of waves gently crashing in the background and a stunning tablescape in soft pinks, whites, and golds, the evening unfolded like a dream. Every element, from the curated gourmet menu to the delicate floral arrangements, reflected the couple’s sophisticated taste and love for grandeur.

Floral Wonderland: 48,000 Blooms in Full Glory

One of the most awe-inspiring elements of this wedding anniversary was the sheer volume of fresh flowers used in the décor. 48,000 blooms filled the space, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment.

The floral arrangements, meticulously crafted by Flowerbazar, combined pastel roses, hydrangeas, and orchids, enhancing the soft and romantic feel of the celebration. The florals weren’t just decor; they were a statement of love, growth, and beauty, mirroring the couple’s journey over the past five years.
