Frequent supplier to Meridian Grand and well-known hair stylist Shamalah and her husband Raju had their wedding at Meridian Grand this Autumn. Having worked with Shamalah in the venue many of times, it was an honour to host her magnificent wedding and help her plan the details of her special day.

Shamalah looked simply resplendent, arriving at Meridian Grand in a vintage car. She made her way upstairs to the VIP bridal suite to relax, allowing her to spend time with her close friends and family before her grand entrance.

Shamalah mentioned ‘’The look of Meridian Grand venue stood out from all the others to me and I knew this was the perfect one to get married in’’.

Guests started to arrive in the Entrance Foyer with welcome drinks flowing in the luxury ambience for the stunning wedding. Shamalah had chosen an enchanted theme, with decor by Enchanted by Syma’ and a range of other suppliers, coordinated by Meridian Grand, including a tuk tuk photo booth. The show-stopper in the entrance foyer was a romantic floral display of two swans in pink. This perfectly enhanced the elegance of Meridian Grand’s entrance foyer. There was a welcome message on the venue’s TV screens, designed and created by Shamalah’s event manager at Meridian Grand. As Raju arrived in a red Bentley, the Groom’s side were welcomed into the venue by the bride’s side, as they celebrated a union of two families within the spacious entrance foyer.

Guests made their way into ‘Emerald Paradise’ that had transformed the Meridian Grand Ballroom.

The decorator, Enchanted by Syma, worked with Meridian Grand’s team to set the ballroom beautifully for 650 guests. Emerald crushed velvet table linen, combined with oversized enchanted woodland floral arrangements created a stunning look for Shamalah’s wedding. The decor was perfectly complimented by a huge LED screen featuring a forest and waterfall, with a bespoke printed Dancefloor. Pops of burgundy, lilac and mauve further enhanced the magical element of the forest-like setting. Meridian Grand’s crystal chandeliers tied in perfectly and took the whole design concept to a new level.
