The Bridal Atelier: How It Feels To Find The One
Finding the dress is one thing but finding a setting that feels right is just as important. Since 2012, The Bridal Atelier has been one of those rare places that does both, offering curated designer gowns in a setting that feels welcoming and personal. Now, with a beautiful new address in Al Quoz, the boutique begins an exciting new chapter, one curated entirely around the needs of a modern bride.
Over the years, The Bridal Atelier has grown into a trusted name in the region, known not just for its considered collections but for the care and attention it gives to each woman who walks through its doors. The new space follows the very same tenets, only elevated even further, designed to give brides room to explore, try, tweak, and fall in love with the dress for their special day.
The boutique brings together ready to wear gowns from some of the world's top bridal destinations such as New York, Barcelona, and Beirut, with couturiers including Nicole + Felicia, Ines Di Santo, Saiid Kobeisy, Tony Ward and more. The edit is thoughtful, with something for every taste. Those looking for something minimal and structured, romantic and detailed, or bold and fashion-forward would be satisfied
Of course, even the dream dress often needs a little fine-tuning. That's where the in-house Alterations Atelier comes in. With a team of ten skilled tailors, seamstresses and beaders, the boutique offers expert bridal alterations, whether it's reshaping a lace bodice or adjusting the fall of a beaded mermaid silhouette. It's a detail-focused service that ensures your look fits absolutely perfectly.
The same type of attention and care is given to the veil. While it's often seen as the finishing touch, here it is treated as a showstopper. The Bridal Atelier offers a wide selection of ready-to-wear styles, as well as their popular custom service, so you can add something completely your own to the occasion.
Some brides know down to the details about what they want while there are those who've just started thinking about their dress, and that's the beauty of a place like The Bridal Atelier, as it meets you where you are. Then, they gently guide you toward the piece that feels like the one. With its new location in Al Quoz, what the boutique offers goes beyond an edit of gowns, it offers clarity, confidence, and the kind of care that you deserve leading up to your big day. thebridalatelier.ae

How hundreds work around-the-clock to get Dubai Fountain running by October
Dubai's iconic fountain — the largest in the world — has been temporarily out of action for several months due to ongoing maintenance. But what really goes on behind the scenes of this colossal water and light spectacle? From hundreds working around the clock to high-tech upgrades hidden beneath the surface, one influencer took a rare behind-the-scenes tour, uncovering the process that keeps the Dubai Fountain running at its best. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Sparkling waters? The Dubai Fountain always sparkles — no matter where you look at it from — do you know why? That's thanks to the impeccable flooring under the water. The concrete flooring underwater — as large as almost 18 football fields — is being treated with layers of primer and waterproofing, to ensure it is easier to maintain. Earlier, the floor would occasionally crack. Another reason the stunning display consistently shines is because of several methods the team uses to ensure that the water stays clean. A team works behind the scenes, regularly testing the water from different areas of the lake. Hard at work, though, are underwater robots, that keep the floor and the 1.3-metre deep water squeaky clean. 'Takes weeks' Each performance of the world's largest dancing fountain takes weeks to create. The influencer explains that in his conversation with the engineer he found that robots are used extensively to programme it. These robots control the lighting and water that are placed beside the sprinklers — creating a beautiful 'dance'. Watch the video below: The revamping of the iconic tourist attraction comes with a strict deadline, with Dubai Mall confirming that the fountain is aiming to be fully operational by October 2025. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Dubai, just steps from the iconic Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain stands as a dazzling showcase of the city's innovation and grandeur. Renowned for its mesmerizing shows that blend water, music, and light in perfect harmony, the fountain attracts millions of visitors from across the globe each year.

UAE: Meet teen pianist breaking barriers in Western classical music
Four years ago during a family vacation in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, Prapti Rajguru, all of nine at the time, saw a grand old piano sitting elegantly in a music recital hall of a restaurant she had just walked into with her parents. Unable to resist the allure of the piano, she approached the staff for their permission to play a piece. When they nodded, Prapti tenderly placed her fingers on the keys and instantly fell in love with their sound. She then turned to Frederic Chopin, allowing the notes of the iconic Polish pianist's Grande Valse Brillante to fill the room. 'Everyone cheered loudly at the end,' recalled Pallab, Prapti's father. 'Even an elderly gentleman who had initially been reluctant to talk to us because he was not very comfortable with English. But after Prapti played Grande Valse Brillante, the gentleman could not stop smiling and kept talking to us in Georgian until we left. That day I understood the mystical power of music and how it can connect people regardless of the cultural and linguistic barriers.' Prapti, now 13, has been breaking barriers for quite some time in Dubai as the only Indian pianist to have consistently achieved podium finishes in competitions. In a domain dominated by Europeans and Chinese, this young Indian musician's flair for Western classical pieces has surprised pundits in Dubai. 'Even we are surprised by how her musical journey has evolved,' Pallab admitted. 'As a child, she was not able to concentrate properly on her studies and we were like, 'How can we solve this?' That's when we took her to a piano class. But our objective was different — she was just four years and nine months old, so we wanted to engage her in an activity which could improve her concentration powers. We never thought her world would soon revolve around a piano.' Prapti's second-place finish recently in the Steinway Piano Competition GCC has earned her a place in the Global Finals of the 'Washington International Rachmaninoff Competition' in New York on July 12. Her American tour will also feature a solo performance in the hallowed Carnegie Hall in Manhattan. Naturally, the teenager is now itching to board the flight to the US. 'I'm very excited about it. I think obviously performing in Carnegie Hall is a really big thing,' said Prapti who has been training under Dr. Jordan Rashkov. 'I will get to compete with people from the US and Europe. So it's a great opportunity to showcase my music and represent India and UAE on a global stage.' Prapti hopes her dream American debut will inspire her to become the first globally recognised Indian concert pianist. 'That's the dream because I know there are not many Indian concert pianists playing Western classical pieces on the global stage. So I hope to become the inspiration for all those who want to start doing new things in India,' said Prapti. When it comes to drawing inspiration, Prapti doesn't look beyond acclaimed Georgian-French pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, Chinese-American sensation Yuja Wang and legendary Argentinian Martha Argerich, even adopting a mental training method. 'Yes, there are videos on YouTube about it (mental training),' she said. 'I attend classes twice a week, and the rest of the days, I take the sheet music and just read it through, keep listening to the pieces of my favourite pianists and try to understand how they sound. It usually sticks in your head. Listening is the easiest way to learn.' What Prapti has learned by listening to classics has started to yield results as well-known Italian pianist Antonio Di Cristofano has invited her to perform at the 2025 Scriabin Concert Series in Grosseto, Italy, following her splendid performance in the Steinway Piano Competition GCC. 'I think it's a matter of great pride to be invited by Antonio Di Cristofano,' said Pallab. 'As Indian parents, this is a completely new field for me and my wife and we have tried to give Prapti every support we can. But there is a big gap between her and those young pianists from Europe where they get to train full-time at musical institutes. And here Prapti has to juggle her studies and piano classes. But Antonio Di Cristofano's special invitation has proved that Prapti is doing the right things despite the challenges she faces.' Her exploits have now also kept her grandparents on the edge of their seats. 'We are a very traditional Indian family, so it's quite incredible when her grandparents call to check how she did after the end of a concert. They may not have seen a piano, but they are incredibly proud of her,' said Sonalisa Kar, Prapti's mother. 'Now obviously it's a very emotional moment for the entire family that Prapti is going to perform at Carnegie Hall.'
