There are a couple of weddings which when you see them, they feel like they are straight out of a fairytale. The same can be said for Lucy and Darren’s dreamy and snowy wedding ceremony up in the snow-clad mountains of Zermatt, Switzerland. Lucy and Darren got married in a picture-perfect setting that was planned by our very own member of the DWP Insider community, Tehiya Narvel and her incredible team at Tehiya Narvel Events in Switzerland. Go on to read further about this absolutely gorgeous wedding!
THE COUPLE’S LOVE STORY
Lucy was a stay-at-home mum when she first met Darren, a tech company founder and a British GT race car driver. There was something magnetic about their first meeting that instantly drew them towards each other and needless to say, this converted into many more meetings and then as luck would have it, a beautiful relationship blossomed. Lucy decided to take their relationship to the next level and introduce Darren to her son, and they both hit it off immediately. Lucy says “it felt like a perfect family and they were always meant to be together”.
With a love so pure, Darren decided to take the next step in the relationship and pop the big question to Lucy. He planned a dreamy proposal in Scotland. Inside the Summer House, with the venue beautifully decorated with flowers and candles, he went down on one knee and asked Lucy to marry him and be with him for life! The answer to which of course needless to say, was a big YES!
THE PLANNING OF THE MAGICAL CEREMONY
Lucy describes herself and Darren to be a couple with very high expectations and were very clear about the vision of their big day. The brief was clear – a fairytale wedding that is picturesque with a lot of flowers! But in its true spirit and sentiments, the couple wanted their wedding to reflect and symbolize the complexities Lucy and Darren have navigated together. They wanted to emphasize the challenges of life and marriage which creates the beautiful journey through life, and most importantly wanted a wedding that would be a visual treat for their guests.
Lucy & Darren wanted to get married in Switzerland and this is where Tehiya Narvel Events came into the picture, took control and orchestrated the entire wedding, delivering every wish of the couple to the T! Tehiya Narvel Events created the concept, designed and planned for the full event. They also took care of creating the concepts, finding the venues, catering partners, photographers, videographers, hair and makeup, flowers, entertainment and all the details in between.
Tehiya was given complete freedom and autonomy by the couple without any interference with them. They trusted her completely, and as Lucy says “I truly believe there’s no one else who could have orchestrated a wedding of this caliber in the mountains of Zermatt, Switzerland, other than Tehiya”.
Tehiya’s design, vision and aesthetic seamlessly blended the natural hues of the surroundings – shades of blue and white which were reminiscent of the glaciers, the sky, and snow—to craft a fairytale atmosphere. Tehiya’s keen eye also sought to infuse the ceremony with the warmth of the sun reflecting on snow, opting for inviting orange and peach tones at its core.
Talking about her inspiration, Tehiya says she is “deeply inspired by the relentless pursuit of creativity that defies norms and explores the uncharted territories. I thrive on the opportunity to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges, to turn the impossible into reality”.
SHOWSTOPPER: THE BREATHTAKING WEDDING
From the location, to the decor, to the outstanding entertainment and the adventurous couple skiing in their wedding attire – everything was to die for! The pictures are such a visual treat and surely swept the guests off their feet. We do not wish to say anything further, because words are not enough to do justice to these gorgeous pictures, so take a look for yourself!
In the end, all that matters for a wedding planner is the smiling faces of the couple and that’s exactly what happened. In Lucy’s words, “the wedding was the best day of our lives. It tapped into all our senses and was pure perfection, it left everybody speechless”. She also wholeheartedly loved the experience of working with Tehiya and her team and expressed “ no one else who could have orchestrated a wedding of this caliber in the mountains of Zermatt, Switzerland, other than Tehiya”.
We at DWP Insider would like to congratulate Tehiya Narvel Events on this spectacular feat and wish Lucy & Darren many years of happiness and togetherness ahead!
