When Iman first came to me, she carried a Pinterest board bursting with ideas. Her request was simple but powerful: “I want our wedding décor to blend my Algerian culture with his Pakistani heritage — and I want it to feel vibey, not stiff.”
From that moment, I knew this wouldn’t be just another wedding. It would be a story told through color, texture, and atmosphere — a true cultural fusion where tradition met modern comfort.
Setting the Scene
The palette drew from earthy terracotta, jewel-toned teal, burgundy, and antique gold. We built layers with embroidered cushions, woven rugs, Moroccan lanterns, and lush greenery. Algerian tile patterns and arches intertwined with Pakistani jali details, creating a look that honored both without blending either away.
Centerpieces with Soul
The centerpieces were a personal favorite. We designed fresh floral arrangements inside pottery inspired by Algerian vessels. Each piece felt like art — grounding the tablescapes in heritage while still feeling lush, romantic, and modern.
Ceremony Meets Lounge
After the vows, the ceremony space transformed into a floor-seated lounge and gaming area. Guests kicked off their shoes, settled onto poufs and layered rugs, and gathered around low tables stocked with games.
The vibe shifted from formal to cozy — laughter, conversation, and play took center stage.
Design Highlights
More Than Just Décor
This wasn’t about making things “look pretty” — it was about creating an experience. Guests felt welcomed, connected, and part of the story.
Iman + Mikal’s wedding was living proof that when you lean into culture, comfort, and vibe, you don’t just design a wedding — you design a memory.
