Here's an article where you can read about modern weddings in the UAE. Although I don't agree with people in the article saying that nowadays expensive weddings are "traditional".
Actually there were no white wedding dresses or extravagant parties in the ballrooms in the past in the Gulf. This is a new tradition borrowed from the Western culture. Before the bride would wear a traditional green dress and a burqa...
Bellow are wedding dresses from Reem Al Hosany rental in UAE.tel.: 050649991 and 0505907733
