It was around the same time that a friend asked me to design a special traditional Persian wedding spread (sofreh Aghd) for her. This got me started with designing sofreh aghd. As flowers are an essential element of Sofreh Aghd, I learned the techniques of flower arrangements. And subsequently, I started designing spreads and tables for special events such as Yalda and Haftsin for the Persian New Year (Norouz).
