For those of you not familiar with what a sofreh aghd is: it is the traditional Persian wedding ceremony spread. I know first hand that designing a sofreh requires a lot of prep, planning + design development. As the first à la carte sofreh aghd design™ (established 2012) studio, I opened my Etsy store to create a storefront for people to find à la carte sofreh pieces to complete + compliment their sofreh design. Pretty Please sofreh pretties are unique, elaborate, + purposeful. I aim to design traditional + modern designs allowing a vast range of options for my buyers.

If you are unfamiliar with Norooz {Persian / Iranian New Year}, Norooz in its literal translation means New Day – “No” means New and “Ruz” means Day. It is observed based on the Persian calendar and it is a celebration of the beginning of Spring marking the first day of Spring as the first day of the new year. Norooz has Persian and Zoroastrian origin however there are many ethnic groups around the world that celebrate Norooz as it is based on the Gregorian calendar.

The way Iranian’s prepare for the arrival of Norooz is by setting and prettifying a table spread (Haft-Seen) with symbolic and traditional items that represent many elements in our life and new year to come. Seven specific items are placed on the spread that start with the letter “S” or to be more specific the Persian letter “Seen”. Haft-Seen in its literal translation means 7 (Haft) seens. 7 “S’s”.

I also take custom orders (depending on my schedule) for sofreh and haft-seen design pieces. If you have an idea of what you want, but have no time to bring your ideas to fruition, you've come to the right place. If you have absolutely no ideas about what you want, you've come to the right place again. You are the reason Pretty Please Design offers custom à la carte sofreh aghd and haft-seen designs.

Though my academic background resulted in a Master of Integrated Marketing Communications my love for pretty eventually led me to launch Pretty Please Design. When I am not busy planning parties and playing with all sorts of pretties, I am busy being a mommy to my beautiful children Sienna and Milan, my yorkie Tabasco and a wife to an amazing man who has my whole heart.
