From the meaningful traditions to the stunning waterfront views, Dr. Romina and Dr. Chris’s Tampa wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love, family, and culture. One of the most special elements of the day was the incorporation of Romina’s Persian heritage through a traditional Sofreh Aghd—a beautifully arranged wedding spread featuring symbolic items that represent the values and blessings the couple hopes to carry into their life together. This cherished tradition, which dates back over 2,500 years, added depth and history to an already unforgettable ceremony.

With planning and florals by Bustle & Bloom Weddings and beautiful imagery captured by Lifelong Photography Studio, every detail came together seamlessly for a day that was as elegant as it was emotional.
