Negar and Peter’s wedding was fantastically formal, glamorous, and richly textured in a way that very few weddings here in California ever are. If I could think of one phrase to describe this wedding, it would definitely be, dressed to the nines. Of course, that phrase makes a lot of sense when a fashion stylist weds a writer.

Above: Tiny Pine Press designed and handmade these formal letterpress wedding invitations for Negar & Peter. I love how they look like they might have come out of grandma’s wedding album … or an F Scott Fitzgerald novel. They make me hope for a return to classical wedding design.
Negar & Peter had a traditional Persian ceremony, fireside, with a beautifully decorated sofreh. In Persian ceremonies, I love when all the girls (sisters, friends, mothers, aunts, etc.) get up and sprinkle the couple with sugar flakes. What wedding couldn’t use a little sweetness like that?
Negar called on her gifted pals, Joseph Free and David Rogers, who are usually busy designing events for Vogue and fashion designers, to design the florals and decor for her wedding. Inspired by their handiwork, and not surprisingly, this is the wedding that made me rethink baby’s breath. Heaps of lacy-soft baby’s breath and the warm glow of candlelight, it turns out, are pure magic. Here are a few of the intricate and particularly stellar details:
Even the wedding’s tiniest guests were dressed up and ready to party:
