Persian New Year 2017 | Norooz {1396}

March 3, 2017
If you follow my posts both here and socially, you already know that Persian New Year (Norooz) is my favorite time of the year. Two years ago this time of year I was expecting my first child and again this year I am expecting my second child due to arrive around the new year festivities. Keeping up with Norooz tradition is very important to me so I wanted to make sure that I set up the traditional spread before I get too busy with my biggest blessings. I usually designate a specific table and unique mirror for my Haftseen...

{a pretty MacKenzie-Childs Christmas}

November 22, 2016
Hi pretty lovers! Though I’m not done decorating for Christmas yet, I wanted to share a few details as promised from my Christmas decor that I continue to get messages about. Believe it or not, I reused ALL of the exact ornaments from Christmas last year (even less!) as well as my same Christmas tree. For those design sources, please visit last years blog post here. As for this year, all I did was add 3 different pieces to give my Christmas theme a different look. I love all things MacKenzie-Childs and I wanted to incorporate her courtly check...

Pecan Bundt Cake

November 15, 2016
Up to something pretty and sweet this morning and this is how it all started: 1) pregnant mama craving something sweet 2) fresh flowers on its last leg 3) a box of Betty Crocker white cake in the pantry 4) a bag of honey roasted pecans for salad 5) then this pretty totally happened! I followed the cake box recipe instructions and added a bag of honey roasted salad pecans to the cake batter. Popped this deliciousness into the oven and oh my goodness, craving satisfied. Yum! Don’t forget to save some pecans to sprinkle on top. Bundt cake pan...

Pretty Please Moments

October 17, 2016
I take every opportunity I can to celebrate my daughter as she is growing up so very fast! Yesterday I shared a picture on my Instagram as my daughter turned 18 months. 1.5 years old! With a blink of an eye she is going to be 2. I really can’t believe how fast the months are flying past me. I also shared that the months have gotten easier in some ways, harder in other ways, but by far all these months have been my biggest joy in every way. My greatest privilege is to be Sienna’s mama. I’m now expecting my...

Persian New Year 2016 | Norooz 1395

March 7, 2016
I have been anticipating this Persian New Year {1395} since last year Persian New Year because I knew this one would be the most exciting one for me now having my daughter Sienna here. Last year I was very pregnant and with all of my might and swollen feet I managed to prettify a Haftseen as it’s a favorite holiday for me and a huge deep rooted tradition for us Iranians. I wanted to prettify a spread a little different than my usual interest in neutral hues. My daughter adds so much color to my life and I wanted...

Sienna’s Christening …

January 6, 2016
I was really looking forward to my daughter’s Christening not only because of the blessings and purpose behind the tradition but because this would be her first celebration. I didn’t have a baby shower when I was pregnant with her so this day was so special for me to essentially prettify her party and celebrate her life. Here are a few pretty details from our special day!

Sienna’s first Christmas …

January 4, 2016
Hi pretty lovers! So per usual I am a bit tardy in sharing these details but better late than never. Preparing for Sienna’s first Christmas {Sienna is 8 months young} this year was so special for me I wanted to share a few things we did. My sister-in-law got her a “Baby’s First Christmas” ornament which we will cherish year after year. I had a “Sienna’s First Christmas” sign made by the talented Deanna from Cordially Invite. I shared with her my Christmas theme and in one shot she came up with the pretty sign details to match my...

Shower me pretty

June 18, 2015
My beautiful sister-in-law just got married this past weekend and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to. Not because everything was pretty but because the love that my sister-in-law and handsome brother-in-law share are examples of Christ’s presence and living proof of how He brought them together. That being said, I helped my sister-in-law with all of her pre-wedding and wedding festivities. Her taste is very simple, classic, and understated. Keeping this all in mind, I designed all of the bridal shower details as such and incorporated her love of...

{Soraia + Ali} Grace Ormonde Feature

April 30, 2015
One of my favorite things about doing what I do is getting to work with some of the most amazing brides. Soraia is certainly one of them and she was one of the easiest and sweetest brides I had the pleasure of working with months leading up to her wedding. Not only is she smart but she is stunningly beautiful inside and out. It is to no surprise that her wedding was nothing less then pretty perfection just like her. Though this wedding was last year – it was recently featured on Grace Ormonde. Yay! I have been impatiently...
