Since 2008, Mustard Seed Photography has been creating authentic, organic images full of life and natural beauty. Our passion is to capture the laughter, embraces, tears and little moments occurring throughout your wedding day. We strive to create photographs that reflect the beauty that exists in the world around us and to embody an aspect of fine art that each family would be proud to pass down from generation to generation. Our style is very natural, limiting the number of staged photographs, and in this way, we can focus on creating images that are individual to each couple. We love shooting in gorgeous light and in natural settings. Our sessions are fun and adventurous, and allow our couples to feel comfortable in front of the camera by removing the distractions of the busy world around us. Laughter, fun, authenticity and joy…all of these words describe the experience that we try to create with each and every click of the camera.

FLOWERS FOR PRE-WEDDING EVENTS As the world has forever changed, it is the perfect time to embrace the art of spoiling ourselves and our guests. The reality of having small intimate events gives us the opportunity to really focus on who and what matters most to us. We have so much to celebrate still, and flowers are the best way to add more love to an already special day.

JAI MALA The
/ EXCHANGE OF GARLANDS bride
and
groom
welcome
other by exchanging floral garlands.
each This
exchange signifies the unification of their hearts and souls and the formal acceptance of each other in marriage.
THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT PIECES OF A CEREMONY FOR BOTH TRADITIONAL AND NONTRADITIONAL HINDU CEREMONIES. IN ADDITION TO THESE PIECES, THERE ARE 10 OTHER STEPS THAT ARE PART OF A CONDENSED CEREMONY.
K A N YA D A A N
/ HAND IN HAND
The bride has her right palm placed on the groom’s right palm, usually by her father or an uncle to signify her passing to a new family. As they join hands, it signifies their union and acceptance of each other.
THE WEDDING MANDAP, OR WEDDING ALTAR, IS A TEMPORARY STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY MADE UP OF FOUR POINTS OR PILLARS IN A VARIETY OF SHAPES AND DESIGN ELEMENTS. THE COUPLE IS TRADITIONALLY JOINED BENEATH THE MANDAP BY THEIR PARENTS AND THE CEREMONY OFFICIANT.

C I R C L I N G T H E H O LY F I R E & / S A P TA P A D I - S E V E N V O W S
The bride and groom circle the fire four times making their vows in the presence of Agni, the God of Fire. In each round, they seek the four basic goals of human life: Dharma (moral sense to lead a good life), Artha (prosperity), Kama (energy and passion) and Moksha (liberation through self-realization). The couple then will take their seven steps together that represent the seven principles and vows to each other. 1. To respect and honor each other. 2. To share in each other’s joy and sorrows. 3. To trust and to be loyal to each other. 4. To cultivate the appreciation of knowledge, human values, sacrifice and service. 5. To reconfirm the vow of purity, love, family duties and spiritual growth. 6. To follow the principles of Dharma. 7. To nurture the bond of friendship and love.
SINDOOR Groom applies sindoor, holy red vermillion powder, along the parting of bride’s hairline as a symbol of his eternal love, trust and her new status as a married woman once the ceremony is complete.
A A S H I R VA A D Before the bride and groom leave the wedding altar, the priest blesses them on behalf of the gods and goddesses with everlasting happiness. The couple leaves the mandap and thereafter seeks the blessings of their parents, elders and guests.

What I loved about the design was all the fun, bright colors mixed with some more pastel muted tones. The mix of traditional with a more modern twist with the painted baby’s breath, fan palms and bleached ruscus added in for a more modern look but still very upscale. We added carnation garlands to give the feel of curtains by looping them throughout the design for a more modern twist. The carnation mangalsutra garlands are used traditionally in Indian ceremonies, but I wanted to add them to the altar as a fun twist. - B O B B I , U N F O R G E T TA B L E F L O R A L

Khushboo’s look was a more natural take on traditional makeup. I did a bronze and gold light smokey eye with a dramatic winged eyeliner and wispy lashes. This was paired with airbrush foundation to even out the skin tone, glowing skin and a pop of red lip.

KATY COX PHOTOGRAPHY
@LOVEBIRDSVINTAGE
“Venues are such a fun part of the wedding and event planning process! As a designer who started out in interiors, the architecture of the venue a couple chooses is always a major jumping off point for our designs. Just as if we were creating an interior design plan for a home, the architecture should always play a major role – whether that’s space planning, lighting design or just quietly directing the overall aesthetic. The venue choice also gives us great insight into a couple’s design preferences and is a great indicator of which direction to take their design and what they see as a great representation of their love story.” - TIFFANI PRICE

FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN from LILLIE JANE DESIGNS WE THE ROMANTICS
@LILLIEJANEDESIGNS
“As a planner, I thrive on adapting to the unexpected. There’s nothing more exciting or rewarding than bringing a client’s vision to life despite the surrounding chaos that comes with wedding planning. 2020 was definitely the year of pivoting, and we don’t see that trend going away anytime soon. Don’t be afraid of change! Being told that you have to adjust or completely let go of the plan you had your heart set on is frustrating and confusing, but think of it as a chance to create something even better.” - SABRINA LEE

WEDDING SIZES from ON CLOUD9 EVENTS @ONCLOUD9TX VIVA LA MARX PHOTOGRAPHY
“When scaling up, we try to figure out how to maintain a couple’s budget without compromising their vision. In our opinion, it is critical to strive for the couple to see their vision come to life, with no disappointment of their most important aspects being cut. When scaling down, especially when it is last minute, we help the couples brainstorm ways to enhance and/or personalize each guest’s experience (i.e. place cards, personalized notes, etc.). Depending on the chosen venue, we also take into consideration the space being filled and ensuring it will not feel empty. It could mean the same number of tables with fewer guests per table, to ensure the venue is perfectly filled.” - LISA KETTLER-BELLETTO

DEFINING THE DESIGN from CHANCEY CHARM WEDDINGS @CHANCEYCHARM KVC PHOTOGRAPHY
“Start by looking at your home and personal fashion aesthetic. For example, if you love J.Crew, Colonial-style homes and a French toile pattern, you’ll likely love a classic wedding style. While a couple who loves wide brimmed rancher hats, West Elm and corded pillows might find a bohemian aesthetic resonates with them. These are some of my most favorite ways to start defining a couple’s personal wedding style and can come up with more creative and personalized design ideas using images from your own home than we can from a Pinterest image you want to recreate.” - SKYLAR ALBRITTON

“The best lesson I learned is not to get too caught up in the details, but to take a step back and keep your eye on the bigger picture. A marriage is much more important than a wedding, and investing and preparing for a vibrant and healthy marriage during engagement is much more valuable than investing in a beautiful wedding day!” MARISA, BRIDE

“Our wedding planner, Sabrina Lee with Lillie Jane Designs, truly came through for us. Everyone kept saying I was such a chill bride, but it was because she really handled most of it. When things kept changing due to COVID-19, we just pivoted, and she would bring forth additional ideas.” INI, BRIDE

“My favorite part of the day was our first look. I was so excited to see Alannah for the first time as my bride. I actually cried at how absolutely gorgeous she looked. We took a moment to ourselves to bask in the moment of what we were about to do, joked and laughed together, and held hands before we walked in to get married. Being able to laugh and joke in that moment, confirmed to me, yet again, that I was marrying my best friend.” TRACY, BRIDE

“During our first look, Cody surprised my six-year-old daughter with a ring that looks a lot like a diamond tiara. He knelt down in front of her, presented the pretty box, and told her from that day forward she was his ‘forever princess/daughter.’ I’m pretty sure we all teared up.” ADRIANA, BRIDE

One Thing I Learned...
IT’S IMPORTANT TO ENJOY THE SEASON OF ENGAGEMENT. I DIDN’T LET THE DETAILS WEAR ME OUT, AND THIS ATTITUDE CARRIED OUT ON MY WEDDING DAY. THE LITTLE THINGS DIDN’T MATTER, AND MY EYES WERE ON MY FUTURE HUSBAND AND THE SACRED CEREMONY WE WERE ABOUT TO PARTAKE IN!
