11 Things That Make Lebanese Weddings The Most Unique In The World
Who doesn’t love a Big Fat Lebanese wedding? They’re always the most talked about, and, quite frankly, I don’t think any other country goes all out that much for their weddings as much as the Lebanese do.
You might not believe how unique our weddings can be until you attend one or two in Lebanon, or you hear foreigners overseas talking in awe and at length about the weddings they attended in Lebanon.

Yes, they are as impressively memorable s that to them in all details, and how they can possibly be other than that! Even us, locals, keep talking dreamily about them long after we attended... and until the next one.
In this list, we’ll be checking out as to why Lebanese weddings are the most glorious celebrations of unions in the world!
#1 The fancy display of food

It’s not really much of a shocker that I put food first on this list. Honestly, it doesn’t even have to be a wedding for us to go generous with the food we serve to our guests.
However, when it comes to Lebanese celebrations, we break all world records in our fancy and appealing multiple displays of delicious food; all of which look like an Eden of a kind to food lovers.
#2 The Crowd of Guests

In addition to friends, acquaintances, neighbors, and colleagues, our big weddings have to include not only all the family but also all the extended family members, and their extended family members.
And let's not forget those individuals who neither the bride nor the groom barely knew existed. We, in Lebanon, are as interconnected in family ties that you can't possibly miss inviting any.
And because weddings are the most awaited Lebanese occasions ever, family and guests prepare for it months in advance to ensure they present themselves as glorious as the wedding is expected to be. We are talking top fanciness from head to toe.
#3 The incredible dessert buffet

This needed its own point. The dessert buffet at Lebanese weddings is truly something you don’t want to miss. It’s basically an endless beautifully-made supply of delicious sweets of all kinds to fulfill your sweet tooth with multiple types of sinfully tempting desserts.
Luckily for all attendees, our wedding celebrations extend for hours, allowing all enough time to fully digest the main food so they can come to enjoy all the desserts they possibly can.
On a note, you ought to forget your diet and healthy eating habits when at our weddings. We do advise you, if we may, to go on an extra diet weeks before.
#4 The royal-like bride

Our Lebanese brides always appear as if out of a princess fairy tale. Their first appearances are the most awaited moment of the wedding event and for a good unarguable reason. In fact, it's the bride's gown that will be the main topic of conversation for days and days afterward.
Fanciness and beauty have no limit when it comes to it and also creativity and elegance.

If you ever thought that the royalty's brides of Europe dress up in glory for their weddings, you will change your mind at seeing our non-royalty brides, for they top them by far, and that is no exaggeration.
#5 The vision-like themes

It has been a trend these past decades for weddings in the world to have a theme. That's nothing new to speak about. However, in Lebanon, the themes exceed imagination.
While they are always different from one wedding to another, they are always awe-striking in their manifestation, from the overall look to the tiny detail.
