Inspiration Behind The Secret Garden Theme
You might be wondering what the inspiration behind this unique and enchanting theme was. Well, it turns out, the couple shared a deep love for nature and preferred something dramatic and out-of-the-box. By combining those passions, it led to the theme of a Secret Garden.
The Wedding
The entire setup was nothing short of spectacular. It took about 6 months of meticulous planning and 48 hours of hard work to bring the Secret Garden to life. The lush atmosphere was created with the help of 300 local and imported trees, including the majestic Laurel Trees, aromatic eucalyptus plants, and the evergreen Ficus Trees. The result? A dreamy, green oasis that transported everyone to a world of magic and wonder.
Cultural Elements
This was no ordinary wedding – it was a destination wedding, bringing together two distinct cultures. Moustafa’s Lebanese heritage met Dima’s Palestinian roots in a beautiful union that left no room for cultural boundaries. 150 guests from all over came to celebrate with them, creating an intimate yet festive atmosphere.
The Couple’s Favorite Moment
Moustafa and Dima couldn’t stop gushing about the Secret Garden Ceremony. From the entrance to the altar, every corner was adorned with foliage and blooms that made it feel like a fairytale come to life. It was their moment of pure enchantment, where their love blossomed amidst nature’s embrace, surrounded by friends and family.
