Pirooz & Abeer

Castle wedding by a forest lake · Sweden

Pirooz and Abeer married in early September at a red castle with turrets and a white arcade, set in a park beside a forest lake in Sweden. After getting ready on a sunny balcony, they met for a first look in the courtyard — and the groom's grin says everything.

The ceremony took place by the water, with the couple seated at a white table under a draped arch of blush and peach roses. Champagne toasts in the castle garden followed, then dusk portraits on a wooden pier. The evening was warm and loud: a candlelit hall, circle dancing with clapping guests, roses handed out at the tables and a rose-decked cake. Classic and polished, yet full of family affection.
