The festivities began with a welcome dinner styled as an Italian garden party, featuring brick-oven pizzas, award-winning local wines and a tablescape decorated with fresh flowers, heirloom tomatoes and chillies.

Emily arrived in a white Valentino look inspired by 1960s glamour, while Mena wore a Valentino jacket paired with tuxedo trousers and a vintage watch from their engagement trip.

The next day, the couple held a Hindu wedding ceremony overlooking the Tuscan hills. Emily wore a bespoke red Arpita Mehta sari, accessorised with family jewellery and a custom mangalsutra, while Mena wore an ivory and silver Manish Malhotra ensemble.

To honour Mena’s Egyptian heritage, the couple also held a Coptic Christian ceremony. Emily wore a Lihi Hod gown with Louboutin heels and later changed into a Marquise Bridal dress for the reception. Mena chose a custom Zegna tuxedo with Christian Louboutin shoes. Their wedding bands were created by Bhindi Jewelers of Los Angeles.

Guests enjoyed a four-course Italian dinner by Guidi Lenci, paired with wines from the estate. Emily closed the celebrations in a Rosie Etienne mini dress while the couple danced into the night.

Mena Massoud rose to global fame with the 2019 live-action adaptation of Aladdin and was recently seen in Wish You Were Here in 2025. Emily Shah is known for her role in Jungle Cry and earlier appearances in films such as Kehtaa Hai Dil Baar Baar and The Great New Wonderful.
