This is the wedding of Deena and Omar,

 which took place at Le Manoir Rouville-Campbell in Quebec.

Deena say:  

Often times, when a women wears hijab, she chooses to have a segregated wedding (men and women in different halls) in order to have the freedom to wear what ever dress she wishes. 

Yet when a wedding is not segregated, Arab hijabi brides generally wear a white wedding dress with a matching head veil.  But truthfully, I never really liked the look. 

I always felt that being fully covered in white makes the bride look ghostly or like an egg.  I was determined to find another solution. I therefore decided on a champagne colored dress instead of white.
