When is the wedding?
Where is the registry?
Thank you so much for thinking about a gift for us. Here's what we'd love:
In lieu of a gift, we invite you to donate to Humble Bumble. It is a New Orleans-based nonprofit that delivers healthy meals to local students in need. Chef Nathanial Zimet started this organization, and we're fortunate to have him cater our reception. Learn more about the organization and make a donation here.
What's Confetti?
We’ve heard from so many people that some of the best pictures are the ones guests take and we’d love to have the pictures you wanna share. Confetti is a way for us to stay in touch and for you to share your memories during the wedding week.
Confetti lets us message you through text, and lets you share your photos in a private space that’s only accessible to people at the wedding. You don’t have to download an app, no one outside the wedding is invited, and no one keeps any of your information. Think of it like a private feed, just for the wedding.
The week before the wedding, you’ll receive a text message inviting you to view our wedding’s event page. From here, you can see what we share with the group. Sporadically during the week, you’ll also get texts with important reminders, and to give you a chance to send pictures, videos, or messages to the group. We're excited to see you there!
What’s the dress code on wedding day?
Festive cocktail:
This means cocktail attire with vibrant colors. The brighter the better. Fun suits and dresses are encouraged! **Please do not wear white dresses or jackets (button-down shirts are ok).** Please do not wear jeans. Please keep in mind that we will be outside for part of the day, and the weather may go into the 80s. Crucially, there will be a parade during the event (and you’ll be in it). Therefore, we recommend light fabrics. Light, bright, alright!
For suit-wearers: jackets are recommended. That said, fun and fancy short sleeve button-downs underneath are alright by us. Kousha will wear a bow tie. But ties are not required.
For high-heelers: Be warned that New Orleans’s cobblestone streets are beautiful and plentiful. We’d recommend leaving your stilettos at home. But you do you.

What is a New Orleans style wedding reception?
What will we eat at the wedding?
We're going to offer multiple options for appetizers, mains, and desserts. There will be something delicious to fit all dietary restrictions.
Our food will be a mix of Creole and Persian inspired dishes for the passed appetizers and Persian food for the main course. Persian dishes are focused on rice, stews, grilled meat, and vegetables. We accompany all these with fresh herbs like green onions, radishes, and parsley.
Like most New Orleans style weddings, the main course is buffet style. You can have a taste of everything.
