When Dr. Farshid Kazi, MD {Yep the MD is official, he’s got his on-call pager and intern minions to prove it} told us he was getting married, we laughed for a good minute.

Then we realized he was serious.

Wait, what? Who did he trick into thinking he was really funny and charming? {Ok, so maybe he kinda is…but we’re not here to feed egos} Turns out, the lucky lady is the beautiful Natasha Khan Kazi – Social Media Diva of ModCloth, and Mastermind behind Sapna Magazine. Ya did well Dr. Kazi.

Every single one of this couples events were amazing. From the “no-big-deal” pre-wedding pep-rally festivities, to the Mehndi and Wedding Reception hosted by the brides family in Pittsburgh, to the Walima Reception hosted by the grooms family in Downtown LA… everything was perfection.

When you put so much time, energy, and effort into organizing all the wedding details — thanking your guests should reflect the same level of detail, and cohesively culminate the event. That’s when the OG Mrs. Kazi gave us a call.

She wanted the Thank You cards to reflect her style and taste… without any hesitation we knew instantly exactly what to do! We wanted to incorporate elements from the Moroccan themed foyer, and the purple hues from the interior of the hall {and the bride’s beautiful outfit} all together. The result: a rich, bold purple and bright teal whimsy Thank You “Merci” card, embellished with a peacock feather and Swarovski Crystals in Amethyst. We were going for a trés chic look with this design – which is why we even decided to go with a French translation for Thank You. We are so happy for the lovely couple, and wish them all the best! As they’re off on their honeymoon, we wish them a lifetime of honeymoon’s and happiness.

Merci BeauCoup Mon Amours!

We had to include a few shots from the big day – not only because these pictures are gorgeous, but also so you can see our “inspiration palette” Enjoy!

PD.

So I’m totally back tracking, but I thought I’d start from the beginning. Paper | Daydream actually started with my sister’s wedding. So in throwing her a bridal shower & Mehndi, I decided I should put all this energy and passion into something substantial.

I thought I’d share a few pics from her mehndi…mind you, this was 2007. I wanted something different for my sister’s entrance – and since it was just at our house…I thought a painting would be kinda traditional and modern too. I wanted it to look like henna/mehndi designs – so I painted on transparent acrylic light panels so that I could project pink and green floor lights from behind. I carried this theme for a backdrop behind her stage. I think it came out ok. In retrospect, I wish I used a stencil instead of my freehand mess!
