The Venue: A Historic Château
The Château de Vignes, with its sprawling vineyards and manicured gardens, provided a fairy-tale setting. The ceremony took place in the courtyard, surrounded by centuries-old stone walls and climbing roses. The reception was held in the Grand Salon, where crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the celebrations.
Blended Traditions: East Meets West
What made this wedding truly unique was the seamless blending of cultures. The bride, of French descent, and the groom, with Lebanese heritage, incorporated elements from both traditions:
- French Wine Ceremony — A toast to love
- Lebanese Zaffe — Traditional dance procession
- Pain de Sucre — French sugar bread ritual
- Olive Branch Exchange — Symbol of peace & unity
- Lebanese Dabke — Folk dance celebration
- French Champagne Sabrage — Dramatic toast
A Feast for the Senses
The menu was a culinary journey, featuring French classics like foie gras and coq au vin, alongside Lebanese mezze and grilled specialties. Guests raved about the fusion dessert table, which included macarons, baklava, and a stunning croquembouche.

The photography team captured every magical moment — from the first look in the château's private library to the sparkler send-off under the stars. The couple's favourite shot? A candid moment in the vineyard at golden hour, with the château glowing in the background.
A Love Story to Remember
This wedding was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to love's ability to bridge cultures and create something beautiful. As the couple said in their vows: "We came from different worlds, but we built a home where both traditions live in harmony."
