At SMP, we love when a Bride and Groom incorporates cultural traditions into their wedding day. This handsome groom and beautiful bride did just that, incorporating Persian traditions into the ceremony, Swedish customs into the reception and Southern touches throughout. If that wasn’t special enough, they had incredible vendors including Mint Photography, Pearl Events and Ma Maison. See all the special moments in THE VAULT!
From Mint Photography… This romantic Fall wedding was a fusion of different cultures and overall just a day of pure joy! We’ve never seen a bride smile as big as Carly did and being able to capture that happiness is exactly what we love about photographing this time in people’s lives, and what we loved about this couple!
From Pearl Events…The Sofreh aghd was the table with all of the meaningful items on it and it is a Persian wedding ceremony tradition. During dinner, we had a Swedish Toast Master who was in charge of pulling the people up for toasts throughout dinner. The couple also had a box of wishes that they asked guests to make for them so that they could read them throughout their marriage and even read some during the ceremony.
From the Bride… My husband is Swedish and Persian, and I am from Louisiana and Texas. In our wedding, we used Swedish and Persian traditions to honor my husband’s culture. My southern roots were reflected in our welcoming party and send off, as well as some of the touches we included at Ma Maison. As my family has been in Austin for 24 years, we selected Texas as the appropriate location to get married, and had friends and family fly in from over 30 countries.
