ICYMI, 2024 is the year of weddings, and Arab influencers and celebs did not come to disappoint.
Whether it was jaw-dropping venues or dreamy dresses, these weddings were basically out of a fairytale. But are we even surprised? Arab weddings are always on another level—luxe vibes, over-the-top glam, and nonstop celebrations.
From glittering makeup looks to the most iconic wedding entrances ever (seriously, the TikTok vids went viral in minutes), these weddings had it all. Although, the summer wedding szn might be over, we’re sure there’s plenty more viral moments to come through out the rest of the year, too.
So, here’s your ultimate recap of the top viral Arab weddings of 2024 (so far)…
Nemat Younes and Adnan Ammache
Imagine a wedding so extra, it broke the internet. Nemat and Adnan tied the knot on July 5th in the ultimate Lebanese dream wedding, and let’s just say, it was the talk of the Arab world. Think diamonds everywhere, a blend of tradition and modern elegance, and vibes so luxurious, they had us all gasping for air. Hosted at the breathtaking Villa Boustany in Jiyeh, just south of Beirut, the venue served up unreal beach views. The bride was a total vision in a lace gown by none other than Oscar de la Renta. And that wasn’t even the best part. Nemat’s neckpiece, dripping in rubies and diamonds, was a one-of-a-kind creation from her father’s own jewellery company, Yasser Younes. Can you say iconic?
Nada Kamani and Umar
PrettyLittleThing founder Umar Kamani, tied the knot with British-Saudi model Nada in an extravagant, multi-day celebration in the South of France. Think luxury, couture, and A-listers galore—like Naomi Campbell and Andrea Bocelli, who graced the festivities with a special performance. The dreamy wedding weekend unfolded at the ultra-exclusive Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where Nada stunned in a custom Zuhair Murad gown at the all-white welcome party. But that was just the beginning. She made jaws drop again, this time in a breathtaking custom Dior dress as she walked down the aisle.
Tatiana Nassour and Joe Samman
Let’s talk about the wedding that had everyone talking in June 2024 – Tatiana Nassour and Joe Samman’s fairytale nuptials. This star-studded affair was an instant viral sensation, and the highlight was none other than Tatiana’s jaw-dropping fashion choices. At her pre-wedding bash, Tatiana was an absolute vision in jewellery from her mum’s luxe brand, Batouli Jewelry. Heart-shaped jewels with sparkling emerald stones that made her shine brighter than ever. The necklace? Total showstopper. The heart-shaped earrings? Too cute to handle. Every piece was meticulously curated to ensure she looked nothing short of stunning.
Dayane Nassour and Hadi Khalil
Before Tatiana and Joe’s wedding totally stole the spotlight, there was another dazzling nuptial moment that you just have to know about. A week prior, the ever-gorgeous Dayane Nassour, aka Tatiana’s sister, tied the knot in the most magical Lebanese ceremony ever. And oh boy, she served looks in not one, but TWO stunning gowns by the sensational Geyanna Youness.
Julia Hussein and Ahmad
On June 20th, social media sensation Julia Hussein and her now-husband Ahmad had a stunning kateb katb ceremony. Held at the beautiful Sursock Palace in Beirut, their wedding was a blend of elegance and royalty (It’s a literal castle). Julia chose a breathtaking gown by Egyptian designer Marmar Halim. Julia, known for her over-the-top celebrations, kicked things off with a Gossip Girl-themed hen-do in the Maldives—hello, luxury. She then dazzled at her bridal shower at One&Only One Za’abeel, where guests were treated to Dior Beauty goodie bags.
Daniella Rahme and Nassif Zeytoun
Daniella Rahme is the stunning 33-year-old bride who was practically channeling Cinderella in her jaw-dropping custom gown by Lebanese fashion maestro Nicolas Jebran. He’s the magic behind the couture for icons like Bella Thorne, Naomi Campbell, and Salma Hayek. Her makeup artist was none other than Bassam Fattouh, the best of the best in Lebanon.
