A Regal Affair: Seher and Omar's Mehndi (Henna Party)

Seher and Omar's Mehndi(henna ceremony) jump started their fabulous wedding weekend. For the mehndi we really wanted to showcase all the beautiful and bold colors you traditionally see in a South Asian Wedding. We custom made this canopy for the newlyweds and filled it with colorful Moroccan furniture.

My favorite part of the Mehndi is the grand entrance, the bride/groom is brought forward by their closest family members. It really represents the union and the merging of the two families to me. The groom enters first and waits for his bride anxiously.

and of course this post would not be complete without a few photos of the beautiful couple

A Regal Affair: Taglyan Cultural Center Wedding

This post is way overdue. Seher and Omar got married earlier this year at the beautiful Taglyan Cultural Center .  I was so honored when Seher hired me to help her plan and design her wedding weekend. I was thriled and really wanted to bring Seher's vision for her wedding come to life. Seher is blessed with an amazing and sweet family and they were very involved and supportive of all the planning. I also got the pleasure of meeting Omar prior to the wedding day as he lived in Florida but he made sure to be in Los Angeles for the cake tasting.  When I saw Seher and Omar together I knew that we had to make their wedding as grand and terrific as their love was for each other.   Here are some beautiful pics of the wedding that the talented Jen O'Sullivan captured of Seher and Omar's wedding day. Oh and if you didn't notice Seher had a beautiful bridal glow, she really looked like a princess.  Enjoy part one of their wedding day.

Seher was just into the small details as I was. We made a fabulous team together.

Petersen's Automotive Museum hosted by Jen O'Sullivan!

As I was heading home last night after a wonderful charity engagement shootout  hosted by the very talented photographer Jen O'Sullivan at the Petersen Automotive Museum I awed and oooh'd as I passed by all the beautiful bridal salons, which of course got me all gitty about my job. I'm always finding and seeking inspiration and love emerging myself in bridal bliss and every aspect of wedding planning. I get to be a part of a couple's biggest decision and their journey to the altar. I always get a little anxious and nervous a few days before any event not because I'm worried about it looking good, but because I want all the elements to flow together as I have planned and imagined. I live to see my clients and their families happy . I design a variety of wedding theme/style, simplistic, glamour, grand, beachy, traditional and ethnic yet my twist on it is always to be classy and beautiful . Yes, it's easier to create a beautiful wedding if you are blessed with an unlimited budget but my talent lies in making any budget work and making the most out of every penny. Most of all I want your wedding day to be about who you are as a couple and an event that your family and friends will cherish forever.

Today I'm grateful for all the couples that have honored me as their wedding designer+coordinator and let me into their lives. I feel blessed and fortunate. Thank YOU!
Now here are some photos of the Peterson Museum, they have tons of options so you really should make a visit. It's a really unique place and offers tons of different areas for photos.
