The Tamesis
For the rest of her look, she wore Manolo Blahnik heels, a vintage handbag from her grandmother, diamond earrings from her mother-in-law, and a veil by Gigi Burris. Meanwhile, Alex worked with Ralph Fitzgerald to create a bespoke brown mohair suit for the welcome party and a tuxedo for the wedding night. “I don’t know anyone who can do it like he does – he has the most detailed eye and style,” Amma said.
For her beauty look, Amma looked to makeup artist Nina Park at the time, as well as Gracie Abrams at the Grammys. “We have similar hair length and skin tone, and I love the natural feel of her makeup,” she explains. “I am so grateful that I have the most incredible hair and makeup team. They make me feel completely at peace and know what to do without me having to actually say or show them anything. Eduardo Bravo and Charlotte Prevel are angels and truly the most talented.”
The wedding weekend kicked off with a welcome party on Friday night, to which Amah had planned to wear an Esant dress she had designed with her friend Aline, but disaster struck. “We had a problem with customs and I had to find a new dress five days before the welcome party,” she recalls. “I contacted Harithand and they made me a dress in two days, shipped it to Barcelona and someone got it the day before our party. It was crazy, but it all worked out in the end. Now I have another special dress waiting to be worn. Maybe we’ll renew our 10-year vows.” The couple hosted a pool party on Saturday, and Amah collaborated with local Mallorcan brand Kettel Atelier to create a ’70s-style caftan with exaggerated sleeves.
The ceremony took place late Sunday afternoon under the shade of ancient trees at Torre Saura, a historic palace in the Menorca countryside. “We wanted it to feel intimate, timeless and a little bit enchanting, like stumbling into a secret garden,” Amma said. “Alex walked out to the traditional Persian groom’s song ‘Sha Doomad,’ which was a nod to his heritage. I walked down the aisle with my parents to ‘Endless Love’ by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.”
After drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and a brief stop on the dance floor, guests sat down to dinner prepared by chef Tomas Abellan and addressed by family members. “Alex’s sister and my grandfather’s wife sang ‘Moon River’ on the piano,” Amma shared. “This is a very special moment for us.” After dinner, Amah changed into another dress she designed with Aline of Esant. “It’s the perfect take on the slip dress, but a little more elevated and special,” she says. “While I was sad to take off my wedding dress, there was nothing better than the feeling of freedom and freedom in my second wedding dress. When I returned, we danced under the petals in the Persian tradition of ‘Gol Berizin,’ which literally means throwing petals at the bride and groom. I absolutely love this tradition and it was a highlight of the night.”
As night falls, the guests are taken to a secret nightclub. “We transformed a historic stone structure into our own Ibiza retro discotheque called Sa Roqueta, which means ‘the little rock’ and is Menorca’s nickname,” says Amah. “Each room had its own vibe – different DJs, different sounds, different little worlds. My uncle, the legendary DJ Stretch Armstrong, jumped on the deck to start the night. Our guests dressed up in their best retro party wear and totally let loose. It was immersive, a little wild and probably the most ‘us’ way to celebrate.” Everyone partied until the sun came up.
“Now, the wedding feels like a beautiful metaphor for our life together,” Amma said. “We dream up something ambitious, a little impossible, and emotionally charged…and then somehow find a way to make it happen, usually with a lot of love, a little bit of craziness, and a little bit of dancing along the way.”
