Two Cultures Merge!

Inspiration:

As mentioned before, my FI is Persian and I'm American so we're mixing our traditions throughout the wedding. For the ceremony, we'll model it mostly around Persian traditions with a few American influences.  The above image is an example of a modern take of the Sofreh (symbolic spread that the Bride and Groom sit in front of during the ceremony). We are going to use this as our main inspiration minus the pink.  We love the glass and contemporary edge. Our ceremony will be indoors and we'll be using a lot of candles to reflect off the glass and crystal.

Actual:

     

My MIL took so much pride in the Sofreh.  She was the main designer creator of our beautiful spread.  I would have been lost without her :)  She created many of the individual items herself!
