A Maggie Sottero Bride for an Industrial Rustic Jewish Wedding at the Art Factory in Paterson, New Jersey, USA

27/07/2020 by Karen Cinnamon

Avi-and-Daniel-Art-Factory-in-Paterson-New-Jersey
Okay, HOW gorgeous is Avi and Daniel’s birch chuppah?! We adore every detail of the rustic industrial Jewish wedding of Avi, a pediatric audiologist, and Daniel, who works in real estate, but this chuppah really takes the (wedding) cake. Artfully adorned with occasional pops of red, white, and pink flowers plus hanging greenery – and covered with family tallitot – we’re totally in love with the overall effect.

The chuppah was the perfect fit for Avi and Daniel’s super cool venue, the Art Factory in Paterson, New Jersey. We love the eclectic warehouse vibe, the big windows and abundant natural light, and even comes with its own prop room! These two dressed the space up perfectly with giant paper flowers, vintage sewing machines, and all kinds of other awesome touches. We’re loving every single detail in Amy Sims’ wonderful photos, and Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Kiss the Bride Films’ trailer is so full of emotion and love – pure perfection!

And how special is it that the couple’s beautiful navy paper cut ketubah was crafted by the groom’s mother?! She designed and calligraphed it from start to finish, all by hand.

We’ll let Avi, who looked so lovely in Maggie Sottero, tell you about the rest…

Warehouse Vibes

We got married at the Art Factory in Paterson, New Jersey. It has a very eclectic warehouse vibe, and you can use the entire space however you want, using their prop room or bringing in whatever materials you want. This made our celebration so personalized because the space was completely naked and we decorated how we wanted to.

Family

We had a legacy table including photos and bios of our family members who are no longer with us. It was very important to us to honor them in some way at our celebration, as we miss them dearly, and we’re glad we were able to in such a creative and beautiful way.

Hair + Makeup

Whitney and Nikole from Bisous Beauty Bar in Englewood, New Jersey. They were both fantastic- so lovely to deal with every step of the way, from trial to wedding day, while helping me achieve a natural yet glam look for my big day.

A Maggie Sottero Dress

My dress was a beautiful Maggie Sottero gown with an illusion neckline and cap sleeve from Kleinfeld Bridal.

Shoes

My shoes were Badgley Mischka Ivory Wedges – comfort on the day of was very important to me, since you’re wearing them for hours, so these shoes had the perfect amount of height and comfort.

The handsome groom

Daniel wore an Indochino custom black tux, then changed into a white Tallia dinner jacket for dancing.

Bridesmaids

Our color scheme for the bridal party was blush, and the whole bridal party chose their own dresses. It was summer, so blush was perfect as it is simple and pretty, and can blend with everything.

Ceremony

Our ketubah was made by Daniel’s mom, which definitely made it very special! She designed and calligraphed the entire thing, every letter done completely by hand. It is a beautiful navy paper cut design.

We used the tallitot (prayer shawls) of our family members to created the roof of our chuppah, which definitely made it feel like our own, incorporating our family into the details of the chuppah itself.

Chuppah

We wanted light flowers, not too much going on, rustic look. Very understated.

Our music choice

Daniel walked down the aisle to ‘Circle of Life’ from the Lion King, which has been his favorite movie since he was a child.

Flowers

The team at Papaya Events in New Jersey created beautiful flowers for the tables, chuppah, and wedding party. Among the flowers featured were Cabbage Roses, Hydrangeas, Anemones.

Photographer and videographer

Our photographer was Amy Sims! She is fantastic- she has such a unique style and her professionalism is unparalleled. She is the perfect photographer! All of her reviews say it the best; she is exactly what you need on the day of your wedding: she is professional, accommodating, calm, cool and collected. From the engagement shoot to putting together the photo album, she really listened to any ideas we had, and when we needed suggestions (like where to do our engagement shoot), she always had answers.

Avi-and-Daniel-Art-Factory-in-Paterson-New-Jersey
She is so creative and really fun to work with! We loved how beautiful and real and not contrived our photos came out– she often took shots of just us being us, mixed in with the glam photoshoot pics. Her professionalism truly shines through in everything she does– you can already tell by looking at her incredible website, and the process of ordering photos/albums is so organized and could not have been smoother.

Our videographer, Kiss the Bride Films, was also so amazing! They captured our wedding so beautifully from beginning to end and could not have been nicer to deal with.

Food

Our catering was with New Jersey based kosher caterer Main Event.

Favors

Our placecards were cases of mints which was a nice creative touch! That way, everyone had a snack with them for the chuppah 🙂

Special Date

Our wedding date was one month prior to Avi’s parents anniversary, and three days after Daniel’s parents anniversary. The significance of the date was just a coincidence but ended up being so special as it tied together with our two families.

Advice to couples currently planning their wedding

Find vendors (photography, hair, caterer) who are calm in crazy times! The most important thing you need on that day is someone who can counter the chaos, not add to it! Our vendors did just that – especially our fabulous photographer, Amy Sims!
