Dubai is renowned for hosting some of the world’s most spectacular weddings, and Leesha and Kunal Relwani’s elegant multi-day Sindhi wedding (planned by Ikigaii Planners) at Al Habtoor City was a beautiful example of how luxury, culture, and intimacy can come together seamlessly.

Set across three of Dubai’s most iconic wedding venues, Habtoor Palace, Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, and V Hotel, this unforgettable celebration welcomed 150 close family members and friends for a thoughtfully curated wedding experience that blended vibrant Sindhi traditions with contemporary sophistication.

From a colourful Mehendi and glamorous Sangeet to a romantic wedding ceremony and elegant reception, every event was designed to create meaningful memories while offering guests an immersive experience that reflected the couple’s personalities and journey together.

A Love Story Decades in the Making

Although Leesha and Kunal officially began their relationship years later, their families had known one another for over two decades through connections spanning both Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.

This long-standing connection laid the foundation for a wedding that felt deeply personal, warm, and centred around family, a key element that remained at the heart of every celebration.

Rather than planning a large-scale production focused solely on grandeur, the couple envisioned a luxury Dubai wedding that prioritised connection, guest experience, and meaningful moments.

A Wedding Designed Around Guest Experience

One of the defining elements of this stunning Sindhi wedding in Dubai was the intentional design journey created across each event.

Every celebration featured its own unique atmosphere while remaining connected through a cohesive sense of elegance and refinement.

The wedding weekend unfolded through four distinct experiences:

• A vibrant and playful Mehendi celebration
• A glamorous Sangeet inspired by a “night under the stars” theme
• A romantic and intimate wedding ceremony
• A sophisticated luxury reception

The result was a multi-day wedding celebration that felt immersive and emotionally connected from beginning to end.

A Colourful Mehendi Celebration at Firefly

The festivities began with a joyful Mehendi celebration at Firefly, where colourful décor, personalised details, and interactive guest experiences set the tone for the celebrations ahead.

Embracing the spirit of a traditional Sindhi wedding, the afternoon featured vibrant styling elements alongside thoughtful entertainment designed to encourage guest interaction and create lasting memories.

One particularly memorable highlight was the inclusion of traditional ladda singers, whose performances added a rich layer of cultural authenticity and brought generations of family members together through music and nostalgia.

The couple also incorporated personalised touches including a traditional gola station and carefully curated entertainment experiences, creating a celebration that felt both elevated and deeply rooted in tradition.

A Glamorous Sangeet Under the Stars

As the celebrations moved to the Amazing Ballroom at V Hotel Dubai, the atmosphere transformed into an evening of glamour, music, and celebration.

Inspired by a romantic “night under the stars” concept, the ballroom featured warm ambient lighting, elegant details, sparkling accents, and a sophisticated colour palette that perfectly balanced luxury with intimacy. Family dance performances, live entertainment, and emotional speeches kept guests fully engaged throughout the evening.

A key contributor to the event’s energy was renowned wedding emcee Rahil Khan, whose charismatic hosting style ensured seamless transitions while maintaining an atmosphere filled with warmth, excitement, and connection.

A Soft and Romantic Wedding Ceremony

For the wedding ceremony, the design aesthetic shifted towards timeless elegance and understated romance. Hosted at Firefly, the pheras took place against a backdrop of delicate pastel florals, soft textures, and muted colour palettes that created an effortlessly sophisticated setting.

Despite the scale of the overall celebrations, the ceremony itself felt incredibly intimate. The thoughtful styling allowed the focus to remain firmly on the couple, their families, and the significance of the sacred rituals taking place.

The result was a wedding ceremony that felt elegant, emotional, and deeply personal.

A Modern Luxury Reception at Habtoor Ballroom

The celebrations concluded with a sophisticated reception at the Habtoor Ballroom, where contemporary styling and refined details created the perfect setting for the final chapter of the wedding weekend.

Elegant neutral tones, atmospheric lighting, luxurious textures, and modern design elements transformed the ballroom into an effortlessly chic space for family and friends to celebrate together.

Rather than focusing on extravagance alone, the reception embraced the couple’s desire to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where guests could relax, connect, and celebrate the newlyweds.

The Power of Trusting Your Wedding Planning Team

One of the most important aspects of Leesha and Kunal’s wedding journey was the trust they placed in their wedding planners.

Working alongside the talented team at Ikigaii Planners, the couple embraced a collaborative planning process that allowed every event to unfold naturally and seamlessly.
