As for the bride and groom, a team of six drummers serenaded them as they made their entrance down a staircase. Nima surprised Zeitoon with a self-choreographed dance with his groomsmen; a seemingly endless supply of delicious food was served; and exceptional Persian performances and music took place. THE DECOR R5 Event Design used a pastel palette of purple and pink to realize Zeitoon’s vision of an enchanted garden. The couple was seated like royalty under a wisteria canopy at a sweetheart table with a 20-foot floral backdrop. Round tables featuring tall Manzanita tree and cherry blossom centrepieces were dispersed through the room for guests. And rectangular tables with tall white structures topped with wisteria and hanging candles framed the dance floor. The main attraction of the reception: an extraordinary floral swing where the six-tier cake stood. flowers, rentals & decor: R5 Event Design | R5E.ca 73
