Pumpkin Pie Parfait with Pistachio Rosewater Crumble

October 24, 2021
Well as an Iranian, this recipe had me at Pistachio and Rosewater. It is sure to be a hit to many and I know that this Pumpkin Pie Parfait will surely compliment a lot of my nearest and dearest palettes. This dessert is one that I have already made a couple of times as the “pumpkin spice and everything nice” holiday season is upon us. I loved it so much that I will be making it as one of the dessert options on our Thanksgiving spread as well. This recipe is one of Eitan Bernath’s many amazing recipes. I...

Vista Alegre x Parisa Kaprealian

September 27, 2021
Since I was a young girl, I have always been attracted to beautiful tableware. Over the years I have grown my homeware collection and in doing so, my taste in curating my collection has become more refined. I just added some of the most beautiful and sophisticated porcelain pieces from Vista Alegre’s Terrace and Venezia collections to my homeware collection and I love their versatility. The porcelain pieces are pure art, richly decorated in gold with the most beautiful hand-painted details. They are the perfect combination of classic meets contemporary design, very much inspired by the Renaissance era. This collection is one that will stand...

Shopping + Self-care

September 16, 2021
Self-care can mean different things to different people and I am here to share with you guys today what one of my favorite forms of self-care means for me. I always feel recharged and happier when my home is in the shape I want it to be. Whether my home is clean, whether it’s organized, or whether I’m simply living my best life in my home and just enjoying its comfort.  For me, the heart of my home is in my kitchen. When I get to have some time by myself to cook, that is my type of self-care....

{Surf Mickey} Ara is ONE

September 5, 2021
I know I always share how sentimental the events I design for my clients are, but they truly are! I grow close to my clients because of how close we work together in bringing our event to fruition. This first birthday I designed was especially significant for me because I had pleasure of designing Ara’s parent’s Persian ceremony spread for their wedding a couple of years ago. To be a part of Natashah and Hadi’s love story was an honor and to be trusted yet again for an event for their first born was quite heart warming for me....

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...
