Because of the bride's Persian background, Colin allowed the Sofreh-ye Aghd (the traditional Iranian ceremony spread) to take precedence.

Mirrored table runners give texture to low centerpieces and add richness to the overall look of reception decor. But low centerpieces don't have to mean low-impact. Alternating the tables between high and low centerpieces makes it "very interesting to see different things in the space," Colin says. "It looks more collected rather than created." ...

Once a personal monogram is created, it's a fabulous detail to use throughout the wedding -- from the invitation to the favors and even the reception lighting. Photo: Courtesy of Colin Cowie Lifestyle

When it comes to destination weddings, Colin is a firm believer in bringing your own staff to ensure the highest quality of service. "Some people take American Express [with them abroad]; I take the mixologist," he says. Photo: Courtesy of Colin Cowie Lifestyle

Spotlight On: Colin Cowie
