A Timeless White Celebration at a Private Villa

On November 22, 2025, Juliana & Antoine celebrated their union with an intimate destination wedding in Dubai, hosted at a private villa in Jumeirah. Designed as a single, meaningful event, the celebration embodied the belief that true luxury lies in intention, refinement, and emotional connection.

Planned and styled by Arabesqué Weddings & Events, this overseas wedding brought together cultures, continents, and loved ones in a beautifully curated setting—proving that elegance does not require scale, only vision and expert execution.

A Truly International Overseas Wedding Experience

Juliana, an Indonesian bride, and Antoine, a French groom, envisioned their wedding as a global gathering of the people who mattered most. With all 20 guests traveling internationally from Indonesia, France, the United States, and London, Dubai emerged as the ideal destination—cosmopolitan, accessible, and seamlessly equipped to host intimate luxury weddings.

This celebration highlighted Dubai’s unique ability to bring together international guests in a setting that feels both private and refined, reinforcing its reputation as a leading destination for overseas weddings.

A White, Classic & Timeless Wedding Design

The design concept centered around a white, classic, and timeless aesthetic, elevated through natural textures and refined detailing. Soft white florals were layered with tones of moss green, pale apple green, and subtle grey-green hues, while discreet gold accents added warmth and sophistication.

The private villa setting allowed the design to unfold organically, creating an atmosphere that felt serene, elegant, and deeply personal—perfect for an intimate destination wedding with international guests.

From the floral-adorned welcome mirror to the thoughtfully styled lounge areas, every detail was curated to feel effortless, harmonious, and enduring.

One Perfectly Curated Event

Rather than multiple events, Juliana & Antoine chose to focus on one beautifully orchestrated celebration, allowing the day to flow naturally from ceremony to reception. This approach created a relaxed yet elevated experience where guests could fully immerse themselves in meaningful moments, conversation, and connection.

The reception lunch was designed to feel intimate and welcoming, with refined dining, curated desserts, and personalized touches that reflected the couple’s story. Thoughtful entertainment elements, including a live illustrator, added character without disrupting the elegance of the day.

Expert Planning with All-Inclusive, White-Glove Service

As luxury wedding planners in Dubai, Arabesqué Weddings & Events delivered a fully all-inclusive service, overseeing logistics, design, vendor coordination, and on-the-day execution with white-glove precision.

From the earliest planning stages to the final farewell, every detail was handled seamlessly—allowing Juliana & Antoine to remain present, calm, and connected throughout their wedding journey, from engagement to “I Do.”
