Some of you will see the picture above and immediately know the culture involved with this wedding celebration. Our bride/mother/her side were Persian and our groom/his side were not, but the groom was very happy to have the traditions of the brides culture/background be a big part of their day. Most of the time a station is setup with fruit on it in a very fancy display and this is available to the guests from beginning to end of the reception.
I loved Sherene and her mom, and our groom was pretty aok too, we had a great time pulling the vision together and it really turned out elegant, soft, beautiful.
Thanks to Flowers by Cina for being a great partner/taking words-thoughts and bringing them to an even better reality. To D-Park photo for being wonderful to work with and for the pics here, my fave Persian officiant Shahrzad Ardalan for always doing a beautiful elegant ceremony, Design Visage for beautifying everyone. Naples Strings for the beautiful ceremony music and Monico Decor for the rentals. And of course to my friends/the fabulous team at the Ritz-Carlton for making dreams come true in the way of reality and memories.
Sherene did not want their backs to the guests, which is normal at a Persian ceremony at a sofreh, as the bride and groom look into a mirror and the guests see their reflection which is an important part of the setup/ceremony, so we flipped them so the guests could see their faces and their backdrop was the beautiful Pacific Ocean, so not traditional but pretty fine.
Till next time
