A Special Royal Orchid Celebration:
Wedding at The Arlington Estate
Mary & Zeyad, Arlington Estate

This wedding holds a particularly dear place in our hearts. We had the incredible honour of photographing Mary and Zeyad’s breathtaking wedding, a momentous occasion made even more special as it was for the son of Lemis, the owner behind Royal Orchid Florist. Having previously photographed her daughter’s wedding in 2022, it was a privilege to once again document another unforgettable chapter in this family’s love story.

Mary and Zeyad’s wedding took place at The Arlington Estate, an already stunning venue transformed into an indoor Italian garden wonderland. Designed by the groom’s mother, Lemis, the space was adorned with towering trees, cascading floral panels, and lush greenery—an extraordinary floral masterpiece that left guests in awe. Every petal and every bloom was a reflection of love, artistry, and decades of floral expertise, making the ambiance both enchanting and deeply personal.

Mary and Zeyad’s love story began on Canada Day, blossomed over the years, and culminated in a romantic proposal on a helicopter over Dubai.

The morning of the wedding was filled with excitement, love, and a few happy tears. Mary cherished the time spent with her family, particularly her mother and sister, as they shared this once-in-a-lifetime moment. She wore a breathtaking gown customized with pull-on sleeves for the ceremony and delicate spaghetti straps for the reception, creating a subtle yet elegant transformation.

Zeyad’s anticipation grew as he waited to see Mary in her dress for the first time, but another moment he was equally excited for was the grand reveal of the wedding decor. He was deeply moved by the love and effort his mother put into creating their floral dream. Seeing the final masterpiece was nothing short of magical.

As Mary walked down the aisle to “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey, emotions ran high.  The moment she saw Zeyad at the altar, everything else faded away. Her father walking her down the aisle was an emotional highlight—one that she will cherish forever.

Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests were welcomed into an extraordinary reception space. An abundance of white and green florals created a mesmerizing garden-like atmosphere. The head table was framed by lush florals, bringing the couple’s vision of a romantic, luxurious celebration to life.

Their entrance was nothing short of grand, featuring a traditional Arabic zaffa complete with bendir drums, bagpipes, and horns, filling the room with vibrant energy. The night was an unforgettable mix of dancing, laughter, and love, with an interactive champagne tower.

Under a canopy of twinkling lights, Mary and Zeyad shared their first dance to “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars—a song they fell in love with for its beautiful lyrics and perfect melody.

Congratulations to Mary and Zeyad on their stunning wedding day! It was an honor to capture these memories, and we can’t wait for you to relive every magical moment through your wedding photos.

We loved working with Purple Tree. They were amazing from start to finish, they were our first and only choice! We booked Purple Tree before booking any vendor! It was a pleasure working with our photographers, they went over and beyond :)
