Bora & Jad’s lively, multicultural wedding at the beautiful Grand Gimeno Old Towne Orange was full of romance, the perfect sunset for their First Kiss, and a wild party on the dance floor. The two blended their cultures & families from around the world and their love story so beautifully. Every detail was intentional, from their “RX for Love” seating chart (a nod to their love story founded in the medical field) to the cultural knife dance & music ringing throughout the night.
The wedding day design was gorgeously executed by Joy and Designs in the heart of historical Southern California brimming with abundant florals among the olive grove for the ceremony. And elegant place settings with chandeliers adorning their custom reception design.
I hope you enjoy these all-too many favorites from this lively & joyful celebration.


EMBRACING A MULTICULTURAL WEDDING
Bora & Jad embraced their multicultural backgrounds by welcoming friends, traditions, & constant (loud) laughter.
I love how rich their friendships with both family members and colleagues alike permeated every vignette of their day.



Bora & Jad —
Words can’t describe how wonderful you were to celebrate and work with! I think of your Big Day often and wish we could go back and celebrate all over again! Your joy was infectious, your generosity abundant, and your love for each other contagious. Thank you for trusting me with your milestone moments, from the beaches of Malibu and the sacred ceremony in Hollywood, to the heart-pounding first look and the dance floor with kerchiefs waving and arms enveloping, I’ve loved every minute of this wild ride with you!! Xoxo!
