For engaged couples who reside in Dubai, it is no secret that the city can reach sweltering temperatures of up to 50 degrees with high humidity, making outdoor weddings a big NO, NO! But for those who do not want to wait until Autumn/Winter, but also do not want a traditional ballroom to say their ‘I DO’s’ in, an alternative option is now available, courtesy of the Melia Desert Palm Dubai.

Last week, team Bride Club ME had the privilege of being invited for a sneak peek at the newly launched ‘Olive Garden’ wedding tent, during the venue’s media and bridal preview. With entertainment by local talent, singer and musician Lisa Goldin, and violinist Pasha Cazan, breath-taking décor by the team at Special Moments, plus delicious food, and beverages by the catering team at The Caterer; guests were spoiled and treated to royal wedding welcome. In addition to the above, Bride Club ME vendor Vandana Makhar showcased her classic and modern bridal henna skills on guests, while vendors such as Blossom Honey UAE, treated guests to samples of their delicious honey which can also be used as mini wedding favour giveaways.

With a capacity to hold up to 200 guests (100 max with current covid guidelines), the wedding tent comes with a full audio and AC system, complimentary valet parking and a bridal suit located next to the venue, and whilst you may be technically inside, you will still feel the outdoor ambience of lucious green lawns and horses trotting by via the tents see through side windows. A perfect Dubai summer wedding venue!
