Yes, you read that right: a Persian Disney Cambria Wedding at the magical Cambria Pines Lodge. How did I get so lucky to witness this enchanting celebration of love, culture, and sheer joy? Let me take you behind the lens and into the heart of Holly and Sasan’s unforgettable wedding day.

A Fairytale Love Story

Holly’s story is one we all dream of: a small-town girl meets her prince, and their adventures together lead to a love that’s deep, genuine, and brimming with fun. Holly, the self-proclaimed Disney-dance-a-holic, and Sasan, her ever-supportive partner, share a bond that feels straight out of a storybook. Their wedding day wasn’t just about saying “I do”; it was about creating a magical, whimsical experience that celebrated who they are as individuals and as a couple.

The Perfect Venue: Cambria Pines Lodge

Nestled in the heart of California’s Central Coast, Cambria Pines Lodge provided the ideal setting for Holly and Sasan’s dream wedding. With its lush gardens, towering pines, and a fairytale-like charm, the lodge transformed into an enchanted forest for their special day. The venue’s rustic elegance perfectly complemented the couple’s vision, blending natural beauty with a touch of magic.

The ceremony took place outdoors under a canopy of trees, with soft sunlight filtering through the branches. Guests were seated on wooden benches adorned with delicate floral arrangements by Three Little Bouquets, and the sound of birdsong added to the ethereal ambiance. As Holly walked down the aisle in her flowing gown, it was as if she had stepped straight out of a Disney movie.

A Celebration of Cultures

What made Holly and Sasan’s wedding truly unique was the seamless blend of their cultural backgrounds. From the very beginning, it was clear that this was not your typical wedding. Yep, a Persian Disney Cambria Wedding is a bit out of the ordinary but in every way extraordinary!

Holly’s love for Disney was woven into every detail, from the subtle nods in the decor to the music that accompanied key moments of the day. But it was the grand entrance at the reception that truly showcased her fun-loving spirit. Holly’s friends and family surprised everyone with a flash mob, dancing to a medley of upbeat songs that had the entire room clapping and cheering. Watching Holly lead the group with her infectious energy was pure magic.

On the other hand, Sasan’s Persian heritage brought a rich cultural depth to the festivities. One of the highlights of the evening was the Persian knife dance, or “Raghseh Chagoo,” performed during the cake-cutting ceremony. In this traditional dance, a beautifully decorated knife is passed around, with guests playfully dancing and teasing the couple before finally handing over the knife. The rhythmic music, vibrant moves, and laughter-filled atmosphere had everyone mesmerized.

Vendors Who Made the Magic Happen

Every detail, from the stunning floral arrangements to the dreamy draping, came together flawlessly thanks to this talented group. Special shoutout to Tiny Café Coffee for keeping guests energized with their adorable coffee cart and to Just Baked Paso for the delectable cake that was almost too beautiful to cut!
