Yalda Night, the longest night of the year, is a cherished Iranian tradition that celebrates the winter solstice. In ancient Persia, it was an Aryan festival where families would gather together, visit elders, and engage in joyous activities like dancing and singing. Symbolic fruits like watermelon, pomegranate, and persimmon adorned the tables, and the night was often filled with the sounds of poetry recitals and fortune-telling.To keep this tradition alive, we create Yalda-themed decorations every year. Our studio becomes a popular destination for families, friends, and couples who want to capture the magic of the night through photographs and videos. This year, we were thrilled to collaborate with Atieh, a beloved local influencer, who agreed to create a fun and trendy Yalda-themed video for her followers. Her enthusiasm and stylish look perfectly complemented our festive decor.
In one of the photos, Atieh stands elegantly between two arches that formed part of our set. The table was adorned with candles, pomegranates, and persimmons, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Atieh's impeccable sense of style was evident in her outfit, and I was particularly impressed by her choice of accessories.
I believe that any tradition or custom that brings people joy and happiness is worth preserving. By creating a visually stunning Yalda-themed set, we aimed to inspire our community and encourage them to celebrate this special night with their loved ones. The photos and video from our shoot have been well-received, and we're delighted to have played a small role in keeping this ancient tradition alive.
