In a scene straight out of a modern fairytale, Iraq hosted one of the most lavish weddings in its
recent history as bride and groom Ali and Ghalia celebrated their union at the \u201cHeart of the
World Hotel\u201d in Bagdad, in an evening that brought together some of the biggest names in
music, couture and event design.
The majestic celebration united the signature touch of Hollywood event designer Adam Afara,
the haute couture creations of internationally acclaimed designer Zuhair Murad, and a star-
studded musical program headlined by Melhem Zein and Hossam Al Rassam. The result was a
night that felt less like a traditional wedding and more like a royal spectacle staged on a grand
set.
After months of preparation, Adam Afara\u2019s team brought to life a fully immersive visual concept
bearing his globally recognized creative stamp. Bespoke d\u00e9cor elements were shipped in from
six different countries, while more than 40,000 fresh flowers cascaded from the ceiling and
covered the hall, transforming the space into a suspended celestial garden awash in light and
blooms from every angle.
The bride\u2019s gown was designed by Zuhair Murad \u2013 Couture,
a creation that embodied the opulence of a contemporary princess, perfectly aligned with the
royal identity of the event.
Every detail was crafted to feel unique and personal:
\uf0b7 The invitation card was inspired by the gates of a royal palace, echoing the design of the
bridal stage and the overall d\u00e9cor.
\uf0b7 The couple received two exclusive fragrances, created as bespoke perfumes that carry
their names.
\uf0b7 Table linens were specially designed and tailored for the wedding day to harmonize with
the color palette of the flowers and lighting.
\uf0b7 A custom song performed by Melhem Zein was produced as an intimate artistic
gesture, narrating Ali and Ghalia\u2019s love story.
One of the evening\u2019s most talked-about highlights was what has been described as the largest
wedding cake in Iraq: a towering royal palace\u2013inspired creation with a diameter of 180 cm and
a height of 3 meters. Adorned with fresh flowers, angel motifs and spiral staircases, the cake
became a breathtaking visual centerpiece in the heart of the ballroom.
With this royal celebration that brought together Adam Afara\u2019s imaginative event design,
Zuhair Murad\u2019s couture elegance and the on-stage presence of Melhem Zein and Hossam Al<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rassam, Afara adds yet another landmark project to his international portfolio as the go-to event
designer for celebrities in Hollywood and around the world\u2014once again proving his ability to
transform a single night into an unforgettable visual and emotional experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
