Afsaneh and Keywan's Wedding
The Ceremony – “Aghd”
Afsaneh and Keywan’s Persian wedding was held on the beach at the Hesperia Hotel, Puerto Calero, Lanzarote. The ceremony (“Aghd”) was held under the pergola which we draped in White Material with garlands of White Roses. The actual service was conducted in front of a table “Sofreh Aghd,” which was laid out with an exquisite spread on a large low table covered with silk material and containing many symbolic items – Mirror, Candelabras, Holy Book, Silver decorated Baskets of Nuts and Eggs, Pastries, Honey, Silk, Sugar cones Fruit and Rose Water. We complimented the rest of the symbolic items with 4 medium size floral arrangements and 2 large floral arrangements of White Oriental Lilies, Roses, and Dendrobium Orchids, all of which formed an intricate part of the “Sofreh Aghd”.
The Reception – “Jashn-e-Aroosi”
The Reception, “Jashn-e-Aroosi”, started with the meal served in the restaurant. The overall design was to be chic, elegant and sophisticated which we achieved with table decorations of White Carnation Balls resting on tall 60cm glass Goblet Vases, with hanging crystals which were sat upon mirror plates. Completing the theme we dressed the white linen covered chairs with Purple Satin Sashes, which matched the colour of the bridesmaid’s dresses.
Before making their way to the Disco, where the celebrations really begin, guests were asked to sign the guest book. The table arrangement for the guest book table consisted of three individual cylinder vases of varying heights, containing Phalaenopsis Orchids, Dendrobium Orchids and Calla Lilies respectively with floating candles.
Once the meal was over, we transported the tall decorations to the Disco along with a long and low arrangement of White Phalaenopsis & Dendrobium Orchids, White Roses & Carnations designed for the bride and grooms table.
Afsaneh & Keywan chose a 3 tier wedding cake with diamante trim and crystals hanging from the cake stand to match in with the table decorations. A diamante Monogram stood within the Orchid Cake Topper with Orchids on each layer. For the cake table we made 2 White Carnations balls on top of silver candle sticks of different heights, which complimented the rest of the decor.
We would like to thank Cris Matthews photography for the beautiful photos.
