Aqd @ Wedding Season: Private Exhibition
This elegant, geometric and symmetrical Persian marriage sofreh (sofreh-ye aqd) was designed for a private exhibition during the wedding season of 2023. The symbolic elements of this sofreh are presented in square or rectangular vessels, in particular, a pair of distinctive silver-plated cake stands with square plates.
This is the overall view of the elegant, geometric and symmetrical sofreh-ye aqd, which boasts a pair of spectacular bouquets, made of a variety of graceful foliage and unusual roses, and is softly illuminated with several candles. A fine embossed gold runner and a large tray of handmade bonbonnières in the Persian spirit, flanked by two sheaves of wheat, take centre stage. A pair of Indian silver boxes adds an original touch to the conventional sofreh arrangement.

This image focuses on the heart of the sofreh-ye aqd, which is softly illuminated with candles. Two impressive bouquets are placed on either side of the simple mirror. Miniature spray roses and foliage presented on the base of the mirror are also reflected in it. A pair of distinctive silver-plated cake stands with square plates display quite a few of the symbolic elements of the sofreh.
