Türkiye –
not Italy in Türkiye.

Many of our couples from Dubai, the US, Canada, Australia and across Europe choose Italy over Türkiye. Not because of capacity, but because of trust: there is still very little visible proof that the same level of aesthetics and production quality can be achieved here.

With “Ritual Drapes” we set out to show exactly that – through an editorial, art-driven wedding story at Scorpios Bodrum that preserves Türkiye’s own identity instead of replicating an Italian look.

Chapter I · The Concept

Ritual Drapes

The Rituals Temple at Scorpios – with its natural material language and contemporary architecture – provided the perfect foundation for a powerful yet understated narrative.

5.5-metre drape installations cascade from the temple architecture, turning the space itself into an active part of the design. Earth tones, linen, wood and candlelight – nothing feels decorated, everything feels grown.

The same aesthetics, the same production as in Italy – fused with what only Türkiye has.

Chapter II · Connection with Scorpios

Sound, ritual, space.

At the centre of the ceremony stood a handpan – a contemporary nod to the sound- and ritual-driven world of Scorpios. Instead of background music, sound itself became part of the ritual.

Chapter III · Turkey

What only exists here.

Coffee

Turkish coffee as Ottoman heritage – not just served, but woven into the dessert table, the tablescape and ritual moments as a cultural texture.

Linen in earth tones, ceramics, candles and sculptural greenery – set right beside the temple’s reflecting pool, where architecture and light mirror each other.
