A Perfect Day for Persian Glam

.

Our planner for our Persian wedding was Jill Bryan at DreamGroup. We saw how hard she worked this past year and felt so lucky to have her by our side from start to finish.  She went above and beyond, and we are so grateful and appreciative.  We had a very specific vision of what we wanted for our big day and not only did Jill execute and deliver everything seamlessly, but she also foresaw any potential problems and dealt with them head on, without us even knowing!  She is the most organized and meticulous planner and her experience was a tremendous asset.

She always went the extra mile for us, and it was a great feeling to have a planner that has your back and fights for you tooth and nail.  This is 100% Jill and her work ethic is unmatched. Our guests were blown away by everything, and we credit this to Jill!

Persian Sofreh Aghd is the traditional Persian ceremony. The couple sit in front of a sofreh, meaning spread. The sofreh symbolizes the traditional union of the couple in front of intricate elements. The elements include a mirror which signifies eternity, candles which signify light, nuts and eggs that represent fertility, and coins that represent wealth and prosperity.

Close female friends and members of the family are invited by the officiant to partake in the sugar blessing part of the ceremony. A sugar cloth is held over the bride and groom. As the officiant weds the two, the sugar blessing ladies grind and tap two sugar cones over the couple. The sugar raining over their heads blesses their sweet futures.

Lastly honey is exchanged between the two. The couple dip their fingers into a goblet of honey and feed each other the sweet nectar to symbolize the sweetness of beginning their lives with one another..
