A Religious Ceremony With A Historical Charm

July 06 . 2022

There’s something so magical about historical charm and new beginnings that go so perfectly together, and this religious "Katb Kteb" ceremony is a living proof!

Nestled in the heart of the Mountains, a historical grand hotel dating as far back as the 19th century was the ultimate ideal choice to guarantee a remarkable and regal night ahead. The architecture, the soft palette, the opulent details and the wondrous atmosphere were all present that night ensuring a fascinating experience.

It might be too early so spill the beans but we can't keep this detail in any longer! The bride wore a marvelous Oscar de la Renta gown overflowing with beauty, drama, and grandeur. The floral embroidered motifs were the highlight of the dress and were rendered on the long modest sleeves as well as the paired exquisite veil. The fashion forward gown ensured a grand, statement-making, and notable moment for walking down the aisle.

As for the ceremony, the grand hotel was revived with an abundance of greenery and botanical detailing, a complimentary contrast to the warm atmosphere of the setting. While the indoors flourished with lush greens, the outdoors bloomed with an array of white flowers, creating an elegant aisle for this alfresco ceremony that spoke perfectly to the lavish surrounding.

Every component of this extravagant night left us in awe of the delicate detailing, the refined finishing, and the thoughtful touches that's been put into it . However, we must admit, the romantic neon sign in Arabic calligraphy caught the biggest chunk of our hearts. Call us guilty, but we can’t unsee beauty when it’s shining this bright!

Upon guests’ arrival, they were greeted with unique escort cards with sweet Arabic terms that transported them back to the old romantic Lebanese golden era, where festivals and love came hand-in-hand. Additionally, personalized shawls were distributed to keep guests warm throughout the breezy night. We always have a great appreciation for occasions that keep guests' experience on top of their minds. To further engaged and involve guests, Petal confetti cones were distributed as well to send off the couple in a celebratory style.

Fast forward to the moment we've all been impatiently waiting for. The bride made her grand entrance with her father on a customized song that spiked all of our emotions at once. A vision of romance, pure love, and joy was captured at that moment so beautifully. Her Oscar de la Renta veil flowing easily behind her, her sweet little steps forward on the sound of touching music and personalized lyrics, and an intimate crowd of teary-eyes and big hearts made this entry one that we will not soon forget.

After the i dos, the party reception was ready and glowing with a series of flickering candles centerpieces set under a sea of fairy lights. This romantic-chic setting was the perfect continuation of a dreamy day, giving the newlyweds and their beloved ones a space to let all their happy emotions out through their dancing feet.

Did you think we're just going to leave this right here for you ? If you think you could not be more obsessed, their wedding feature will prove you otherwise. Be ready to fall further in love with every magical detail from their wedding night and be totally - and we mean t.o.t.a.l.l.y - be swept off your feet.
