Amador Events: Bolaji and Jila : Nigerian and Persian Wedding : Corona Private Estate

Where do I start with this wedding... There were so many amazing details. Aman from Samson Productions did such a wonderful job capturing all of the day's details. Thank you for providing these photos.

Jila is a beautiful and sweet teacher out in Santa Ana and Bolaji is a Surgeon. Jila is Persian and Bolaji is Nigerian, it was very important for them to incorporate tradition from both cultures.

I was introduced to Jila by Ari at Persiano Events. Persiano did all of the event design and decor and might I add they did a phenomenal job.

The ceremony took place at their local church. From there guests drove to the bride and grooms residence and were greeted with valet parking and a delicious array of drinks and

hor d'oeuvres. After cocktail hours guest were directed to their seats and the grand entrance began with a dance show! Dinner was served the cake was cut but many other details were captured below.

Enjoy!

The Bridal Bouquet was simply elegant!

I love this photo of Jila

The Couple was surrounded by their closest family and friends as they said their vows.

They ended the ceremony by releasing Doves into the sky. By the way - Doves not only symbolize peace and purity, but because of their devotion to their mates, they are a symbol of chastity and unending love.

Back at the Nafiu Residence guests were treated to a wine tasting presentation, a kabob station and delicious Persian and Nigerian Appetizers.

There was also a live painter to forever capture this special day

The reception set up consisted of gold chivari chairs, gold chargers and crushed wine colored linens.

Did I mention that the bride and groom arrived via horse and carriage??

The wedding cake was in the shape of three books because education is very important to the couple! P.S. Jila has a Masters and Bolaji graduated Yale Medical school.
