Styled Shoot: Glamour in Dubai

Scandinavian Bridal Magazine featured Enzoani's 2015 Jordan gown in their photo shoot that took place in amazing, picturesque Dubai!

Just as stunning as it would look flowing down the aisle of a grand chapel or gorgeous garden ceremony, the Jordan gown looked magnificent in the seaside shoot, making it also the perfect beach wedding dress. Featuring a romantic off-the-shoulder neckline, delicate tulle sleeves, sparkling beading, and sultry low scalloped V-back, Jordan is a bridal gown fit for the most glamorous occasions.

We spoke with Anna Storm, Editor for Bridal Magazine Group Sweden (Bröllops Magasinet), about the United Arab Emirates-based shoot: 

"In early January, my team and I went to Dubai for the annual photo shoot of wedding dresses for the magazine. We chose Dubai as the location because of the weather, the simplicity of getting there, and the variation in environment. We were doing four different photo shoots that were not similar to one another.

My team consisted of one photographer, one make-up artist, one stylist, and three models - it was an absolute awesome team, and the days of work went by smoothly. Long days and many hours later, we were finished and the result was amazing! We did three photo shoots featuring the bride and one featuring the groom."

"The three bridal photo shoots had themes like "Bohemian Bride", "Art-Deco Bride" and "Glamorous Bride," (three styles that are very popular for 2015), and we chose the dress Jordan from Enzoani to be a part of the "Glamorous Bride" photo shoot. 

Our model, a Norwegian, super-talented young girl, wore the Jordan dress. And with her Hollywood-glam, red lips and that gorgeous dress, the picture became outstanding!"

"The photo was taken in the marina during sunrise, in front of a huge yacht, so the "Glamorous" theme really popped!"

"Behind a photo shoot like this lies many, many hours of work. First of all, you need to gather the team and make sure that they are available for a week of hard work. Next thing is choosing a location, as well as booking a hotel and a flight. After that comes the great work of collecting dresses, accessories, shoes, suits, ties, etc. All the clothes and accessories are then carefully photographed and documented before the photo shoot. 

But the hard work makes a really big difference once you arrive at the location. Preparation is really important, and with all of this behind me, I can honestly say that being a part of it and being the project manager for a photo shoot like this is really one of the best things I have ever experienced!"
