Saying ‘I DO’ 6,000 feet up!

August 04 . 2024

Picture this: A wedding perched at the pinnacle of Faraya, Lebanon, where the view stretches endlessly into a horizon of pure magic. This breathtaking location set the stage for a celebration that was as dazzling as it was rare, transforming the event into an extraordinary spectacle.

 

In a show-stopping Nicolas Jebran couture gown, the bride embodied pure elegance and allure, poised to mesmerize every guest. Her preparations were a seamless blend of excitement and grace, perfectly setting the stage for a day overflowing with unforgettable moments.

 

True to Lebanese traditions, the festivities started at the bride’s home. The gathering was a lively affair, filled with music, dance performances, and the joyful showering of petals. The moment the groom’s family arrived, the atmosphere became even more exciting. A cherished tradition unfolded as the groom’s mother adorned the bride with jewelry, symbolizing the unity of two families.

 

Arriving at the church was a scene from a dream. Bathed in the warm hues of the sunset, the ceremony space was a heavenly sight—white chairs and delicate baby’s breath flowers creating an ethereal atmosphere, all while overlooking the breathtaking beauty of Faraya. The setting was as magical as the vows exchanged.

 

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the reception took center stage amid the awe-inspiring ruins of Faqra. This grand celebration was an ode to love and legacy, set against a backdrop of Roman and Byzantine grandeur. Ancient Roman columns and immense structures provided a majestic frame for the evening’s festivities. Tables were impeccably arranged, adorned with candles, soft shades, and artistic tree branches, creating an ambiance of elegance and charm.

 

Entertainment was a highlight from the very beginning. Guests were welcomed with a dazzling array of fire shows, pianists, and violinists, setting a lively and sophisticated tone for the evening. The bride’s entrance was nothing short of a fairytale: little ballerinas danced gracefully, each presenting her with a flower as she made her grand entrance. As she descended amid the ruins, fireworks illuminated the sky, adding to the enchantment of the moment.

 

The celebration continued with performances by Assi El Hellani, who serenaded the bride and groom, along with Carlos, the groom’s best man. In a setting as majestic as the location itself, this wedding was more than just a union; it was a celebration of love, beauty, and traditions.
