For the rest of her look, she wore Manolo Blahnik pumps, her grandmother\u2019s vintage handbag, diamond earrings that were a gift from her mother-in-law, and a veil made by Gigi Burris. Meanwhile, Alex worked with Ralph Fitzgerald on a bespoke brown mohair suit for the welcome party and a tux for the wedding night. \u201cI don\u2019t know anyone who does it like him\u2014he has the most meticulous eye and style,\u201d says Amah.<\/p>\n
For her beauty look, Amah referenced make-up artist of the moment, Nina Park, as well as Gracie Abrams at the Grammys. \u201cWe had a similar hair length and skin color and I love how natural her make-up is,\u201d she explains. \u201cI am so grateful that I had the most incredible hair and make-up team. They made me feel completely calm and knew exactly what to do without me really saying or showing them anything. Eduardo Bravo and Charlotte Prevel are angels and truly the most talented.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wedding weekend started with a welcome party on the Friday night, for which Amah was planning to wear a dress she had designed with her friend Aline from the brand Esant, but disaster struck. \u201cWe had issues in customs and I had to find a new dress five days before our welcome party,\u201d she remembers. \u201cI reached out to Harithand, and they made me a dress in two days, shipped it to Barcelona, and someone was able to grab it the day before our party. It was madness, but everything worked out in the end. Now I have another special dress, waiting to be worn. Maybe we\u2019ll do a 10-year vow renewal.\u201d On the Saturday, the couple hosted a pool party, with Amah working with a local Mallorcan brand, Kettel Atelier, to design a \u201970s-inspired caftan with exaggerated sleeves.<\/p>\n
The ceremony took place on Sunday in the late afternoon sun under a canopy of ancient trees at Torre Saura, a historic palace in the Menorcan countryside. \u201cWe wanted it to feel intimate, timeless, and a little enchanted, like stumbling into a secret garden,\u201d says Amah. \u201cAlex walked out to \u2018Sha Doomad,\u2019 a traditional Persian groom\u2019s song, as a nod to his heritage. I walked down the aisle with both of my parents to \u2018Endless Love\u2019 by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.\u201d<\/p>\n
After drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and a brief moment on the dancefloor,\u00a0 guests sat down to dinner by chef Tomas Abellan, with speeches given by the family. \u201cAlex\u2019s sister sang \u2018Moon River\u2019 with my grandfather\u2019s wife on a piano,\u201d shares Amah. \u201cIt was a really special moment for us.\u201d After dinner, Amah changed into another dress she had designed with Aline from Esant. \u201cIt was the perfect take on a slip dress, but more elevated and special,\u201d she says. \u201cAlthough I was sad to take off my wedding gown, there was no better feeling than to put on my second dress and feel free. I came back out, and we danced under the petals being thrown on us during the Persian tradition called \u2018Gol Berizin,\u2019 which literally means to throw petals on the bride and groom. I love this tradition so much and it was such a highlight of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the night wore on, guests were led to a secret nightclub. \u201cWe transformed a historic stone structure into our own Ibizan retro discoteca called Sa Roqueta, which means \u2018little rock\u2019 and is also a nickname for Menorca,\u201d says Amah. \u201cEach room had its own mood\u2014different DJs, different sounds, different little worlds to disappear into. My uncle, the legendary DJ Stretch Armstrong, hopped on the decks to start the night. Our guests changed into their best retro party looks and completely let loose. It was immersive, slightly wild, and probably the most \u2018us\u2019 way to celebrate.\u201d Everyone partied until the sun came up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe wedding now feels like a beautiful metaphor for our life together,\u201d says Amah. \u201cWe dream up something ambitious, slightly impossible, and full of feeling\u2026 and then somehow find our way there, usually with a lot of love, a little madness, and some dancing along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
