A Floral Wonderland

N ancy Shum and Hooman Zohoor first met in 2006 during orientation week at dental school. The two hit it off while playing an icebreaker

game which paired them up due to their shared love of coffee! Nearly ten years later, Nancy and Hooman were on vacation in Spain. The two were travelling through-out the country, and Hooman was waiting for the perfect location to propose. Eventually, he settled on the mountaintop city of Ronda. After dropping off their luggage at the hotel, Hooman insisted that they go for a walk. The pair headed to a historic bridge that connects the old city with the new city, and when they were alone, Hooman got down on one knee and proposed. “I was completely surprised,” shares the bride, “There we were alone on the bridge of this beautiful city with nothing but the moon and stars shining above.”

The wedding took place on August 14, 2016 in Toronto, Ontario at the royal conservatory. Lianne Adelson of the event boutique planned Nancy and Hooman’s dream wedding in just ten weeks. The couple were forced to abandon the destination wedding they had originally planned in Jamaica just two months prior, and instead organize a summer wedding in their hometown of Toronto. According to the bride, “Planning a wedding in ten weeks was a race to the finish line,” but luckily, everything came together and the couple were able to bring the lush flora of Jamaica to downtown Toronto.

The bridesmaids wore dusty pink silk chiffon dresses

in varying styles from j. crew and accessories of their

own choosing.

stemz provided all

floral and decor for

the wedding, including

Nancy’s lush summer

bouquet.

“The floor-to-ceiling windows and the greenery of the Philosopher’s Walk backdrop made it feel like you were outside but

with all the advantages of being inside!”–nancy

The cocktail and wedding reception also took place in the Leslie and Anna Dan Gallerias. Here, stemz brought the outdoors in with 6-ft tall Benjamina ficus trees that lined the perimeter of the space. Pretty pink and green centrepieces were accented with winding passion vine and pops of ivy for a garden-inspired tablescape.

After studying under his father, legendary

cinematographer Levan Paatashvili, George began

his career by shooting films around the world. After

opening Studio 2000, he has since assembled a

very talented team of awardwinning photographers

and filmmakers with specialties in fine art,

photojournalism and cinematography. A collection of

creative, elegant, contemporary yet timeless images

speaks for itself.
