August 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most glamorous wedding seasons in Israel. Stars are proving they know how to celebrate in style, with events ranging from massive productions to private ceremonies abroad.
August 2026 is undoubtedly shaping up to be one of the busiest, most glamorous, and most talked-about wedding seasons the local scene has ever known. It seems Cupid worked overtime this year, bringing with it a wave of massive events, intimate weddings abroad, and above all, plenty of viral moments.
From productions costing hundreds of thousands of shekels to strict and uncompromising dress codes — Israel's stars are proving once again that they know how to celebrate in style. So, who walked down the aisle, how many guests attended, where did it happen, and what were the highlights of each event? Here is the full summary of the season.
Adva Dadon and Yadin Gelman — Love in the shadow of the news
When: July 31 to August 1, 2026.
The beloved and intriguing couple closed out the month of July and officially kicked off the August frenzy with an event that brought together the top brass of the news company and the world of culture, serving as an exciting starting point for the current wave of weddings.
Or Spitz and Omri Mastaboym — The sweetest wedding
When: August 3, 2026.
Location: A prestigious event hall in Rishon LeZion.
Number of guests: About 800 guests.
As Israel's super-pastry chef, Or did not leave the work to others and labored until the last moment on a grandiose 9-tier wedding cake that stole the show. An event of this magnitude, which includes a rich menu, meticulous production, and custom design, is estimated at hundreds of thousands of shekels.
Aavat Hashem Gordon and Oren Levy — A knockout of love
When: August 23, 2026.
The wedding of the year in the martial arts world: a medium-to-large event that brought together friends from the army, the arena, and family in Hadera. Costs are estimated at around 150,000-250,000 shekels.
20-year-old Aavat Hashem reached the chuppah just after a historic victory over John Lineker in the UFC, while his partner Oren serves as an observer in the IDF. An especially moving Israeli love story.
Omer Adam and Sasha Israelovich — The escape to Italy
Celebrations began on August 23 and reached their peak at the main ceremony on August 27 in Italy. This was a relatively intimate and small event, consisting of family and close friends only.
The couple decided to distance themselves from the paparazzi lenses and create a whole week of romantic, isolated celebrations. A destination wedding that lasts a whole week abroad is a cross-border production whose costs easily jump to the million-shekel threshold, including flights, accommodation, international catering, and heavy security.
Daniel Amit and Emily Damari — The yellow is rising
When: August 27, 2026.
The wedding is expected to include hundreds of guests and a record presence of the influencer and entertainment industry. The wedding of one of the country's biggest food influencers promises top-tier culinary standards, pushing the budget to hundreds of thousands of shekels.
As a reminder, the strictest rule set for guests: no red color under any circumstances! Due to Emily's die-hard support for Maccabi Tel Aviv, guests are forbidden from arriving with red items, including lipstick.
The current wedding season proves that in Israel, people know how to rejoice, love, and celebrate life even in the most complex times.
