Dear readers, I have such a treat for you today! This week's
Real Wedding Day Inspiration is the gorgeous Persian fusion wedding of Kat and Brandon at the
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa. The talented photography team,
Lin and Jirsa really captured the culture and tradition of a Persian wedding. The Sofreh Aghd designed by
Taraneh Ajdar of Elegant Sofreh Design is absolutely breath taking! The elaborate design has strong meaning in the persian culture and symbolizes everything the wedding couple needs begin their new lives together.

She makes a lovely bride
The couple getting a little playful, love that!
The intricate detailing of Kat's gown is beautiful. I wonder how many hours it took to complete?
Now that's what I call glamour
The opulently designed Sofreh. To learn about its cultural significance, read

The jeweled eggs represent fertility.
The mirror and candlelabras symbolize light and brightness in the couple's future.
The contrast of the dynamic red curtains and the blue tabletop linens is gorgeous. Don't be afraid to use bold, vibrant color in your reception.
I love the custom cake toppers, too cute.
Kat's father looks so proud, beautiful father-daughter dance.
Hopefully Kat's sister isn't telling any secrets in her toast;-)
Romantic shot at the end of the night.
