A Canvas of Love Wedding in Lebanon
Love stories have the remarkable power to transcend time, culture, and space. On the balmy evening of 23 June, 2023, a tale of love and unity unfolded amidst the breathtaking landscape of Lebanon.
The union of Amal and Joe was not just a celebration of their love, but a masterpiece crafted by the artistic hands of Créa Events by Barbara Taouil. Against the backdrop of The Forest, an idyllic outdoor haven, their wedding became a symphony of elegance, nature, and everlasting joy.
A timeless black-and-white color scheme is not only a nod to classic elegance but also a reflection of the couple's deep connection and harmonious union. The meticulously arranged black chairs and long tables created an atmosphere of refined sophistication, inviting guests to immerse themselves in an enchanting monochrome dreamscape. The juxtaposition of the deep black against the pristine white symbolized the duality and unity that love brings – a concept beautifully mirrored in Amal and Joe's journey.
The centerpieces, adorned with delicate baby's breath and pristine white flowers, transformed each table into a poetic ode to love's purity and grace. The subtle fragrance of the blooms danced in the air, adding a layer of sensory enchantment to the celebration. The choice of baby's breath, with its delicate appearance and ethereal aura, echoed the sentiment of embracing the fleeting yet profound moments of life.
The heart of any wedding is the bride, and Amal glided down the aisle in an awe-inspiring strapless satin gown by the renowned designer Sandy Nour. The gown, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, gracefully accentuated Amal's natural beauty, radiating an aura of elegance and timeless charm.
Another unique detail was the groom's shoes! Which were yellow and green to represent the Brazilian flag color since the couple is half Brazilian.
The ‘pièce de résistance’ of the evening was the wedding cake; a symbol of their love story's sweet journey. The couple chose a pristine white cake, a canvas eagerly awaiting their personal touch. Amidst the watchful eyes of their guests, Amal and Joe embarked on an extraordinary venture – spray painting their cake. The once-blank canvas metamorphosed into a work of art as vibrant colors and patterns came to life, reflecting the vivacity and creativity of their union. This captivating act was a testament to their shared spirit of adventure and a promise to always infuse their journey with spontaneity and joy.
The overall theme of the wedding was: "You color my black and white life with colors, so everything that is movable is colorful and the rest is black and white."
