From the moment guests arrived at the Grand Hyatt Tampa, it was clear that Dr. Chris and Dr. Romina’s wedding would be a reflection of deep love, rich heritage, and elegant design. Set on Tampa Bay’s scenic waterfront, the venue offered more than just a stunning backdrop—it became the central hub for the weekend’s celebration, from accommodations and rehearsal dinner to ceremony, reception, and transportation.
Romina walked into her wedding day with timeless elegance, wearing a Stella York gown from Studio I Do Bridals. The gown’s romantic silhouette and soft structure created graceful movement as she walked, perfectly complementing the delicate touches of Persian influence that wove throughout the day. Diana Dbella styled Romina’s hair into a sophisticated look that framed her features beautifully, while Steph Jamal applied soft, glowing makeup that allowed her natural radiance to shine. Together, Diana and Steph also styled the wedding party, making sure every member looked and felt their best.
Cultural heritage took center stage during the ceremony. Romina and Chris incorporated elements of Persian tradition into both the ceremony and the reception, honoring Romina’s roots in a way that felt deeply personal and inclusive. The ceremony was made even more meaningful with Romina’s uncle, Kambiz Behjati, serving as officiant—his words grounding the moment in family and love.
The team at Bustle and Bloom Weddings led the planning, design, floral, and rental execution, bringing the couple’s vision to life with ease and intention. They created a soft, romantic atmosphere through thoughtfully arranged florals, gentle textures, and timeless decor that elevated the Grand Hyatt’s modern ballroom into something uniquely theirs. Every detail—from the ceremony arch to the reception tables—felt effortless and curated, striking a balance between elegance and warmth.
Lifelong Photography Studio captured the day with an eye for emotion, preserving each candid smile and teary-eyed moment with honesty and grace. Their gallery told the full story: a celebration that was equally joyful and sincere. Meanwhile, Fabian Photo Films recorded the experience in motion, allowing the couple to relive every heartfelt glance, dance move, and whispered vow for years to come.
Chris looked sharp in a tailored ensemble from Hive & Colony, a perfect complement to Romina’s graceful bridal look. Their wedding bands, both designed by Emily Warden Designs, were not just symbols of commitment, but pieces that reflected their shared aesthetic—understated, refined, and deeply personal.
The culinary experience for the weekend—rehearsal dinner, reception, and bar service—was all provided by the Grand Hyatt, known for their impeccable hospitality. Guests enjoyed a seamless dining experience with delicious food and thoughtful service throughout. Instead of a traditional cake, the couple offered a sweet spread of desserts adding a casual and crowd-pleasing twist to the end of the night.
The energy of the evening was kept high thanks to DJ PS Entertainment, whose playlist kept guests on the dance floor well into the night. From classic favorites to cultural beats, the music reflected both the couple’s style and their love for celebration.
Dr. Chris and Dr. Romina’s wedding was the perfect fusion of family, culture, and timeless style. Every detail—carefully curated by a trusted team of professionals—created a celebration as heartfelt and memorable as the love they share. When asked what they learned through planning it all, Romina offered this reminder: “Lean on your wedding planner, vendors, and loved ones. You need a whole team to plan a wedding.” And for them, that team delivered something truly unforgettable.
