An Oasis Wedding

The brief

Three hundred guests for a March wedding under the date palms. The brief was simple: keep the oasis the loudest thing in the room.

The design

Long farm tables strung between the palms. Pillar candles every metre. Floral runners in pale apricot, no centerpiece taller than a guest could see across.

The day

Sundown service at 6:42. Dinner under candle until 22:00. The bride and groom slipped away in a 1972 Land Cruiser.
