The Story

A long, slow weekend on the island.

{w.excerpt}

The brief from the family was unusually quiet: "let the venue do the work." We worked with the natural arc of the island — sunrise haldi, late-afternoon sangeet on the lawn, an intimate mandap set against the open Gulf. Twelve weeks of planning, three transport routes, one shared meal a day for the family — and a wedding that arrived feeling, in the family's own words, "as if we had nothing to do but be guests."

The design palette was drawn from the bride's grandmother's wedding sari — blush, champagne and a deep oxblood that only appeared at dusk. The decor was kept light by day, layered for the evenings.

Saniya Wahi
The Founder

Saniya Wahi

Saniya started planning weddings at twenty-two, out of a small apartment in Dubai, under the name Selvatico. A decade later, the studio she founded carries her name and works across the UAE, India and the world.

Her stated background in psychology shapes the way the studio works. The first meeting is rarely about the wedding — it's about the family, the parents, the friends and the small histories that have led to this celebration. Everything that follows is in service of that.

Our ethos

Every wedding has a different emotion. The job of the studio is to find that emotion, name it, and design every room, ritual and meal around it.

Our practice

We work as a single in-house team — planners, designers, florists, production. Vendors are curated, not assembled at random.

Our network

Photographers, videographers, caterers, performers, designers — a decade of relationships in Dubai, Mumbai, Delhi, London and beyond.

Our scale

More than 250 events. Weddings from 60 to 600 guests. Corporate galas, award nights, product launches, intimate dinners.
