The wedding

The couple's union was celebrated over two grand events in Lebanon. On July 17, a chic, pre-wedding party featuring scenic mountain views took place with a 10-tier cake. And on July 19, the main ceremony took place at the Bkerki Church, a historic site. The reception was attended by over 1,000 high-profile guests, including Nancy Ajram, Karen Wazen, and Balqees Fathi.

As expected, the gowns were couture masterpieces. Elie Saab created not one but two exclusive dresses for Zein. The ceremony gown was long-sleeved, floor-length with fitted bodice and cathedral train. It was adorned with intricate silver embroidery and paired with a veil and headpiece echoing the ornate detailing.

An Instagram video highlights the making of the gown. "Five sketches, three prototypes, and 780 hours later," the caption read. "We take you behind the scenes of Zein's custom creation by Maison Elie Saab. From final fittings to the magic of the making - this is 'The Dress.'"

Watch the video below:

The reception gown was a sleeveless, mermaid‐silhouette dress in“Rose Sable” hue. It featured a plunging V-neck, a 4.5 m overskirt, and dense linear crystal embroidery with sequins and diamond‐shaped stones to glow under candlelight.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar Arabia, Zein said that this second gown represented“something radiant and unapologetically glamorous.”

She said, "The look was designed to embody boldness and femininity in perfect balance; powerful, yet graceful.”
