Haleh and Guillaume’s Wedding – Reception and Dancing

August 5, 2010

Haleh and Guillaume’s wedding day started off with their getting ready and first look, their unique outdoor Persian ceremony, and the story continues with their beautiful outdoor reception. 

Their night started with a gorgeous view like this one.

Bella Signature Design created this beautiful look for their reception site, with beautiful table decor and flowers.

I love these double duty wedding favors that also serve as table place “cards”.

The reception started with heartfelt speeches from the parents.

Continued with a surprise performance by the cousins, complete with guitar, singing and rapping!

Guests are about to burst into tears.

I was also happy to witness for the first time, a Persian kiss.  Guillaume happily obliged guests requests for one.  It starts with kissing the hand, then up the arm and ends on the lips!
