How did they choose the place to get married?

They loved Italy and chose the capital Rome to get married.

Did the couple have any special request for their wedding?

They wanted to integrate both their cultural background, so there was to be Iranian moments as well as a mix of the bride's Jewish religion and English traditions.

How did you come up with the concept of this wedding?

It had to be classy, elegant and all white. We used huge tropical leaves with white flowers in the fantastic interior of this historical baroque palace.

Were there any challenges for this wedding?

To stay in the budget with all the requests to make a beautiful event wasn't easy, but we were very creative. Another thing I can think of is that we had to put up a Chuppah in a difficult lay-out in the garden of the palace and create a space for all the guests, but with a lot of imagination and an original lay-out we managed to do it.
