The Scene Styled Wedding Guest Edit

Zaffe, dabke and belly-dancing proof.

Mai El Mokadem

For Arabs, weddings are grand celebrations where fashion plays a pivotal role, second only to the joy of the occasion itself. Rooted in a rich history shaped by Bedouin customs and Islamic traditions, Arab weddings are filled with time-honoured rituals, from the iconic ‘zaffe’ and ‘dabke’ dances to performances by belly dancers, and the lively sounds of ‘shaabi’ singers. The result is a vibrant portrait of culture where fashion serves as a critical expression of individuality and celebration.

These weddings present the perfect stage for fashion to shine. Whether it’s the ethereal grace of Grecian-inspired silhouettes, the boldness of heavy embroidery and sequins, or the sleek lines of contemporary minimalism, being a wedding guest today means endless options. Each piece in this curated selection of dresses, heels, clutches, and jewellery captures the essence of the wedding guest dress code, offering a range of styles as diverse as the cultures they represent.
