A Citrus Summer

July 12, 2021
Summer is here and we are all about it! It has been so beautiful to find comfort in entertaining again and being able to spend time with dear family and friends in our home has become a regular occurrence. We have had a busy summer thus far, and while we have no immediate travel plans this summer, the island of Capri in Italy has been tugging on my heart. Some things that are top of mind when thinking of Capri are the abundance of lemon trees, vivid greenery, the coastal lifestyle, and well some of the most gorgeous Italian...

{Mahsheed + Shaun} Montage Laguna Beach

May 16, 2021
I had the pleasure of designing this magnificent, modern, and romantic Persian wedding ceremony {sofreh aghd} alongside my beautiful bride and some of the most talented vendors who always bring the magic! We wanted to keep the design of the traditional ceremony “simple”, elegant, light and airy. My bride and her groom creatively combined both Persian and American ceremony traditions making us all want to get married again! Exchanging their vows set along the ocean lawn in one of the most beautiful backdrops in Laguna Beach was definitely dreamy. It was an honor to be a part of this...

Ayden’s Wild ONE

May 6, 2021
Here we are friends! Another pretty please animal theme birthday party. It has quickly become one of my favorite themes for littles. The mix of different animal colors, animal patterns, and pretty textures made this party so fun to design. A common denominator in all of my animal theme parties is to use a soft palette of colors and in this palette we really wanted to pick up the sage and sand colors where we could. We set up this party in my client’s beautiful home and courtyard. We had beautiful shadows and sunlight throughout the courtyard from the...

Sienna’s Six in Arendelle “Frozen” Birthday

April 26, 2021
For the first time in forever we let it go and celebrated my beautiful daughter turning 6! Like most last year, we had to cancel my daughter’s 5th birthday celebration, so celebrating with our dear friends and family this year was a huge accomplishment. In true please please fashion, I kept the overall colors soft, included sparkles, snowflakes and silver accents where I could and we had the most magical castle cake in all of Arendelle. I hope that you enjoy my version of Arendelle as much as we did. Event Design and Planning: Parisa Kaprealian // Tables, Chairs,...

“Safari Mickey” Safari Milan

April 24, 2021
Well this post is extra special for me because I’m here to share my son’s 4th birthday with you guys! We have all had a tough year behind us and like most, I had to cancel my son’s 3rd birthday party celebration last year. Celebrating him this year was EXTRA sentimental. We set up at a private park in my community. I had a themed Safari Guide host the kids playing a variety of games, a scavenger hunt being a favorite one. To my Milan: Celebrating your life is always one of my favorite days. I love you more...

“Natalia in Paris” 5th Birthday

April 22, 2021
Well this Paris themed party is one for the books for me! I enjoyed planning and designing it as much as I enjoyed attending it. While planning this 5th birthday celebration for my client’s daughter Natalia, our first thoughts gravitated towards beautiful weather, outdoor coffee shops, the Eiffel Tower, and a beautiful color palette to match the magical mood Paris puts us in. We combined all of the above elements and traveled to Paris from my client’s backyard. Everyone enjoyed delicate and delicious sweets, fun travel themed favors, and the girls were hosted by an artist to paint the...

April 21, 2021
If you followed my last Persian New Year post you already know how excited I was to set up my haftseen {Persian New Year spread} with Shally Zomorodi this year. We did an Instagram LIVE together and I shared my ideas and tips on how to create a traditional (and modern) Persian New Year spread.  Here is what I pulled together this year and I must say it was extra special to me because I collaborated with a talented friend and florist Alina {Alina Fiore} who amplified the vision I had for my haftseen with her most gorgeous blooms....

Valentine’s Day for Kids

January 29, 2021
I have always been one to find any reason to celebrate an occasion, big or small. This certainly holds true to anything that has to do with my children and this year I have been thinking a lot about what we can do together as a family to celebrate love and kindness on Valentines. What I have planned for us will be a separate post but wanted to quickly share the Valentine’s Day cards I got for my daughter and for my son to pass out to their friends in class. Whether your child is in school learning in...
