Real Weddings

Apr 12

Zoe and Salah's met over six years ago in an astronomy class at Wayne State University in Detroit. Their journey together has been marked by shared adventures and a deep-rooted bond, culminating in a vibrant celebration on a crisp autumn day in September.

Their wedding, held at the historic Meadowbrook Hall, was an exploration of texture and vitality. Zoe's gown, with its intricate layers and playful textures, added sculptural elements that captured attention. Salah stood out in vibrant burgundy amidst his groomsmen, who donned sleek black suits, creating a striking contrast against the autumn backdrop.

STYLE NOTES:

Earrings: Glass Strands

Glistening glass focal drops hang from gleaming golden strands to offer bold statement appeal and delicate movement.

The day unfolded beneath a draping tent, illuminated by warm, inviting lights that cast a romantic glow over the guests. With a joint-faith Jewish-Muslim ceremony, Zoe and Salah honored their diverse backgrounds with grace and elegance. As they exchanged vows surrounded by the lush gardens of Meadowbrook Hall, it was a moment of profound significance.

The reception was lively with a 9-piece Arabic band providing the soundtrack for an evening of dancing and revelry. Guests mingled beneath the twinkling lights, creating an atmosphere of joy and celebration. One unforgettable moment came when Zoe and Salah were lifted onto the shoulders of their guests, a spontaneous gesture of love and support that epitomized the spirit of the day.
