A long weekend of joy, music, and culture - Kimya and Ryan flew from Los Angeles to celebrate their wedding in the heart of Puglia, blending Persian elegance with Italian charm.
The festivities began in Monopoli with a vibrant beach party inspired by the colors of the Aperol Spritz. Laughter, music, and sea views set the mood for the days ahead.
The wedding took place at Masseria Traetta, one of Puglia’s most exclusive estates. On the terrace overlooking the olive groves, the couple exchanged vows in a traditional Persian ceremony, complete with the symbolic Sofreh Aghd - a table adorned with fruit, spices, and decorated eggs. Dinner followed in the garden beneath the stars, where tables arranged in a horseshoe framed the dance floor and stage. Guests dined and danced to the sound of an international band, with a surprise belly dancer performance adding a touch of magic to the night.
The weekend concluded with a relaxed Italian-style pool party back at the Masseria - picnic blankets on the grass, loungers shaded by umbrellas, a buffet brunch, and a DJ spinning tunes well into the afternoon. A perfect finale to a celebration that united traditions, people, and joy.
