A love rekindled ✨
It began in the quiet corners of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) library in 2019, where study groups turned into lasting friendships. For Sahar and Rome Mirzada, their story started with laughter, kindness, and academic hustle. But after graduation, life took them in different directions, and a global pandemic further widened the gap.
Fate, however, had other plans. In Spring 2023, they reconnected. What started as a simple catch-up turned into rediscovering a bond that had never truly faded. From notes and textbooks to rings and vows, Sahar and Rome’s story is a beautiful reminder that true love always finds its way back.
Their union was more than a wedding—it was a celebration of tradition, culture, and faith. The couple honored their roots with a stunning Nikkah ceremony, where Sahar wore a breathtaking beaded green gown that shimmered with significance.
The main wedding, lavish in every detail, echoed a rich red and gold motif. The ambiance was regal, the mood emotional, and every detail, from the floral arrangements to the glow of Sahar’s dresses, spoke of timeless love.
In a striking red traditional ensemble and later a modern white gown, Sahar radiated beauty, grace, and cultural pride, embodying the harmony between elegance and heritage.
"Our advice for newlyweds? Be present. Planning can consume your energy and center the opinions of others, but don’t lose sight of each other. Invite those who matter most, and honor the sacredness of your union. A wedding is a blessing, not a performance..."
Since saying "I do," the Mirzadas have embraced a season of peace and intention. "During the engagement, so much was about bringing families together. Now, we get to just focus on us—our rhythm, our rest, our joy."
The dresses that told a story
Sahar wore three unforgettable gowns. Each marking a chapter of her bridal journey, chosen with intention to reflect faith, culture, and elegance.
From the intricate beadwork of her emerald Nikkah gown to the bold red silks of her cultural celebration, and finally the sleek white silhouette at the reception, each look was more than a dress—it was a statement. Together, they told a story of heritage, heart, and the beautiful evolution of becoming a bride.
- A green beaded gown for the sacredness of their Nikkah
- A fiery red dress paying homage to tradition and ancestry
- A crisp white modern silhouette for the reception’s radiant finale
Each look was a visual love letter. Thoughtful, symbolic, and utterly iconic. Through every dress, Sahar reminded us that fashion isn't just what you wear—it's what you represent.
The ring that said it all
For Sahar, her engagement ring is more than a symbol—it’s a masterpiece of meaning and elegance. Designed and crafted by Brax Jewelers, the ring features an elongated cushion-cut diamond set in a platinum solitaire.
The diamond, known for its soft edges and fiery brilliance, was hand-selected for its exceptional clarity and cut. The floating setting elevates the stone, both literally and stylistically, creating a modern silhouette with timeless appeal.
Elegant, graceful, and deeply personal, the ring captures Sahar’s refined taste and the clarity of the love story it represents. It’s a forever piece, crafted with purpose, designed for a woman who knows exactly what she deserves.
