Entrepreneur Aylar Farrokhzad, the founder of Persian iced tea brand Yalda Iced Tea, celebrated her marriage in the Cotswolds. The day revolved around both Persian traditions and English countryside charm, with the ceremony itself taking place on a sunlit balcony at Euridge Manor. Her gown – a luminous strapless Vera Wang design – featured sculptural satin, a fitted bodice, and a sweeping skirt. A single strand of pearls grounded the look, while her bouquet introduced bursts of colour. To honour her heritage, she added a veil stitched with delicate floral motifs inspired by Persian artistry, giving the ensemble a soft, poetic dimension.
Emily Shah
Luis Mendoza – Lightfeels Wedding
When actor and entrepreneur Emily Shah wed Mena Massoud in Tuscany, the two decided to place their two cultures at the centre of the celebrations. This meant hosting two separate ceremonies and reception parties, ensuring that guests were dazzled by a whole handful of iconic bridal looks. For the first event – a Hindu ceremony – Shah chose a bespoke red sari by Arpita Mehta paired with a corset blouse and subtle silver heels. The piece cleverly incorporated symbols connected to the couple’s horoscopes, while her mehendi was peppered with constellations and zodiac imagery. That evening, a sangeet-style party followed, complete with music, Indian dishes, and cocktails laced with Dharma Indian Dry Gin. Shah switched first into a decadent gold Itrh look, then later into a shimmering silver mesh dress by Shona Joy. The next day, to honor Massoud’s Coptic Christian faith, Shah walked down the aisle in a custom Lihi Hod gown with Louboutin lace heels and a delicate veil.
