Honouring their Muslim heritage, Ayisha and Shareem tied the knot after dating for five and a half years on at Singapore's famous Sultan Mosque. The place of worship and its palatial architecture made for a magnificent backdrop and venue that was immortalised in the couple's wedding photoshoot on this happy occasion.
With glimmering gold accents against the prayer hall's pristine white walls and patterned tiles, the light and quiet ambience of the couple's solemnisation venue was perfect for an intimate wedding. Ayisha and Shareem sat on intricately woven carpets surrounded by their close families and friends while officiant Kazi Yadid proceeded with the nikkah — the solemnisation ceremony.
The bride donned a gorgeous lehenga dress in orange and gold, a masterpiece with sparkly embellishments from Jinder's. Accentuated with a matching necklace which belonged to her mother and an elegant, shimmering gold headpiece, Ayisha was a stunning bride next to her groom, whose kurta was from Manyavar in India.
When asked what her favourite wedding detail was, Ayisha answered, "I DIY-ed the bouquet when the florists told me they couldn't get the flowers I wanted. I went to Far East Flora with a vision and a Pinterest board, and saved about $300!"
For their wedding reception, the couple chose to have a relaxed dinner at The Landmark. Serving a delicious buffet of Northern Indian cuisine, their 40 guests sat at two long tables facing the restaurant's pool. Colourful ceiling tiles, dark blue French doors and quaint lamps cast a cozy, comfortable glow to the casual affair.
"It was stressful planning by myself but I had a lot of help from my sister and she was always there to give me advice or help me deal with things. I was happy that almost all the people who mattered the most to me were able to be there," says Ayisha.
