For the rest of her look, she wore Manolo Blahnik pumps, her grandmother’s vintage handbag, diamond earrings that were a gift from her mother-in-law, and a veil made by Gigi Burris. Meanwhile, Alex worked with Ralph Fitzgerald on a bespoke brown mohair suit for the welcome party and a tux for the wedding night. “I don’t know anyone who does it like him—he has the most meticulous eye and style,” says Amah.
For her beauty look, Amah referenced make-up artist of the moment, Nina Park, as well as Gracie Abrams at the Grammys. “We had a similar hair length and skin color and I love how natural her make-up is,” she explains. “I am so grateful that I had the most incredible hair and make-up team. They made me feel completely calm and knew exactly what to do without me really saying or showing them anything. Eduardo Bravo and Charlotte Prevel are angels and truly the most talented.”
The wedding weekend started with a welcome party on the Friday night, for which Amah was planning to wear a dress she had designed with her friend Aline from the brand Esant, but disaster struck. “We had issues in customs and I had to find a new dress five days before our welcome party,” she remembers. “I reached out to Harithand, and they made me a dress in two days, shipped it to Barcelona, and someone was able to grab it the day before our party. It was madness, but everything worked out in the end. Now I have another special dress, waiting to be worn. Maybe we’ll do a 10-year vow renewal.” On the Saturday, the couple hosted a pool party, with Amah working with a local Mallorcan brand, Kettel Atelier, to design a ’70s-inspired caftan with exaggerated sleeves.
The ceremony took place on Sunday in the late afternoon sun under a canopy of ancient trees at Torre Saura, a historic palace in the Menorcan countryside. “We wanted it to feel intimate, timeless, and a little enchanted, like stumbling into a secret garden,” says Amah. “Alex walked out to ‘Sha Doomad,’ a traditional Persian groom’s song, as a nod to his heritage. I walked down the aisle with both of my parents to ‘Endless Love’ by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.”
After drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and a brief moment on the dancefloor, guests sat down to dinner by chef Tomas Abellan, with speeches given by the family. “Alex’s sister sang ‘Moon River’ with my grandfather’s wife on a piano,” shares Amah. “It was a really special moment for us.” After dinner, Amah changed into another dress she had designed with Aline from Esant. “It was the perfect take on a slip dress, but more elevated and special,” she says. “Although I was sad to take off my wedding gown, there was no better feeling than to put on my second dress and feel free. I came back out, and we danced under the petals being thrown on us during the Persian tradition called ‘Gol Berizin,’ which literally means to throw petals on the bride and groom. I love this tradition so much and it was such a highlight of the night.”
As the night wore on, guests were led to a secret nightclub. “We transformed a historic stone structure into our own Ibizan retro discoteca called Sa Roqueta, which means ‘little rock’ and is also a nickname for Menorca,” says Amah. “Each room had its own mood—different DJs, different sounds, different little worlds to disappear into. My uncle, the legendary DJ Stretch Armstrong, hopped on the decks to start the night. Our guests changed into their best retro party looks and completely let loose. It was immersive, slightly wild, and probably the most ‘us’ way to celebrate.” Everyone partied until the sun came up.
“The wedding now feels like a beautiful metaphor for our life together,” says Amah. “We dream up something ambitious, slightly impossible, and full of feeling… and then somehow find our way there, usually with a lot of love, a little madness, and some dancing along the way.”
