Inside a Celebration That Traveled from Pharaohs to Vegas

August 24 . 2025

When a love story unfolds across two unforgettable days, the celebration becomes more than just a wedding, it becomes an immersive journey. This couple’s festivities began with an imaginative pre-wedding set against Lebanon’s dramatic cliffs, and culminated in a full-scale Las Vegas fantasy brought to life in dazzling fashion.

The pre-wedding set the tone with a bold and imaginative concept: ancient Egypt transported into the Lebanese mountains. Between towering rock formations, the venue became a natural amphitheater, its rugged backdrop transformed into a theatrical stage.

Terracotta pyramids, pharaoh-inspired statues, and a sculptural camel created a striking, larger-than-life setting, softened by clusters of pampas grass and desert-inspired florals. Guests, all dressed in white, were welcomed with mystical touches like a fortune teller at the entrance, themed performers, and flowing bites and cocktails.

The bride made a shimmering statement in a sequined gown with cascading fringe, a glamorous nod to sparkle and movement that matched the vibrant energy of the night. As mapping projections lit up the cliffs and entertainment acts unfolded one after the other, the night felt like stepping into an ancient-meets-modern fantasy.

If the pre-wedding was theatrical, the wedding itself was pure spectacle. Themed around the dazzling allure of Las Vegas, the celebration reimagined the Strip in one venue. Guests wandered through recreations of iconic landmarks, from the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty to neon-lit casino facades: All brought together under one roof.

The dinner setup balanced this grandeur with refined elegance. Long banquet tables were styled in soft blush, creams, and greens, accented with gold and candlelight. Dramatic lighting and lush florals added intimacy amidst the bold landmarks, proving that Vegas-style didn’t mean sacrificing romance.

The bride stole the spotlight in a Nicolas Jebran couture gown, a strapless crystal-embroidered mermaid silhouette that blended timeless romance with modern glamour. Her entrance, accompanied by a live orchestra, waltz dancers, and 3D visuals, set the stage for a night of nonstop entertainment.

Inside the dinner hall, a Kusama-inspired crimson sculpture anchored the space like a bold piece of pop art. Surrounded by cascading florals and glowing red drapery, it became the visual heartbeat of the room. Even the food displays were integrated into the installation, blurring the line between dining and art, and transforming the reception into a theatrical experience.

When the party continued, the bride switched into a strapless blush mini dress with silver embellishments, chic, playful, and perfect for dancing into the early hours. Layered diamonds, lace gloves, and sleek styling completed her afterparty transformation, proving that every moment of the celebration had its own statement.
