Our Work: MoLAA Long Beach

The wedding of Erin and Khaled was traditional yet modern, colorful yet serene, respectful yet fun. But most of all, filled with reflection of the couple's personalities and lifestyle.

It was important to the them that they respected each of the family's cultures. She is Latin and he is Afghani. By choosing MoLAA and a flamenco inspired gown, Erin respected her culture as well as her love of art. Khaled's family performed traditional Afghani dances, and shared a henna ceremony with all of the guests. The ceremony was heartfelt and sincere. Their very good friend was the officiant. So personal and touching.

Amazing details made this wedding visually unforgettable. Vibrant colors of fuschia and orange mixed with black and white provided an interesting contrast. This couple was not afraid to be daring. We loved the black and white touches in the grooms shoes and pocket square. As well as the crisp anemonies used in the bride's bouquet and the dramatic cake.  

Instead of standard table numbers, the couple made labels with their favorite songs and affixed them to old 45 records. Fun! More fun was to be had at the candy buffet. Created by Candy Stripe Girls, it was filled with the couple's favorite candy. We could hardly keep it filled. It was the hit of the night.

The dance floor stayed filled all night with modern Afghani, American and Latin favorites. What a gorgeous wedding. Love and smiles filled the entire day. Erin and Khaled are a beautiful couple inside and out. They were a dream to work with and this will always be one of my favorite weddings. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Fakoor.
