Saudi weddings are getting louder, bigger, and more technologically planned, and the numbers behind it are surprisingly specific. By 2025 the market is projected to be worth SAR 100 billion by 2028, with wedding tourism revenue targeted to reach SAR 20 billion by 2030, even as budgets are reshaped by social media trends and second marriage costs that come in about 30% lower. When you compare winter guest lists, gold driven spending, and who pays for what across regions, the industry starts to look less like a single tradition and more like a nationwide system with measurable rules.
