The sofreh aghd is the ceremonial spread at the heart of a Persian wedding ceremony. The reception that follows usually runs late, with plenty of dancing.
What to plan for
- Setting up the sofreh takes time. Give whoever arranges it early access to the room.
- Plan who will hold the cloth over the couple and grind the sugar cones during the ceremony.
- Ask the venue for a late end time; receptions often go past midnight.
