About me

Known for her ambitious and innovative nature, Nahla Al Mahmood holds a master’s degree in Design Management and has become an inspirational speaker aspiring entrepreneurs and youngsters around the Kingdom. With a vision to introduce something fresh and new to the events industry, Nahla Al Mahmood established LalaBella Events & Flower in 2012. In a short period, she was able to develop LalaBella into an all-encompassed events boutique that organizes high-end events, flower and chocolate arrangement services, and gift items for all types of occasions. LalaBella has grown from a small office to having three physical branches in Bahrain, along with a reliable online store. Clients include corporates, government entities, high end fashion boutiques and individuals. With Nahla’s ambition and continuous passion for growing further, she became a certified wedding planner and florist, allowing her to introduce the new Flower School initiative in collaboration with reputable international flower institutes from Holland and the USA - the first of its kind in Bahrain and the region. Nahla’s series of achievements, outstanding career performance and growth potential resulted in her being selected to represent Bahrain in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Global Initiative Program in early 2016. In early 2017, she was awarded the 'Super Achiever Woman Award' in Mumbai. And her last achievements were the ‘Bahraini Female Entrepreneur Honor Seal’ by her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa in 2019, followed by the SME of the Year Award from his Royal Highness the Crown Prince Sh. Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalilfa, in the Bahrain Entrepreneurship Award.
