Could you be one of our 2019/20 real blogging brides?

02/10/2018 by Karen

BLOGGING-BRIDE
Happy Tuesday! How has October been treating you so far? Well it’s about to get that bit better as today I’m opening the doors to becoming a real blogging bride for Smashing The Glass!

That’s right – I’m looking for a group of 2019 / 2020 brides-to-be to become our STG real blogging brides. As a winning bride, you’ll get to blog regularly (every 4 to 6 weeks) for Smashing The Glass sharing the highs and lows of planning your Jewish (or Jew-ish) wedding. You’ll be able to share your plans with, and seek advice from, the wonderfully loyal community of STG readers from all over the world.

Then, at the end of the experience you’ll not only get to celebrate your wedding, you’ll also get to have it lovingly blogged on the pages of Smashing The Glass.

If you would like to become an STG real blogging bride, you must have already set your wedding date, and that date must fall any time from 1st March 2019 onwards. You must also have a flair for writing, and be able to commit to contributing one blog post every 4 to 6 weeks. There’ll be plenty of guidance, and a few bloggy treats sprinkled along the way too!

To apply to be an STG blogging bride, please send the following details to karen@smashingtheglass.com with the subject line: “I want to blog for STG”  The closing date for entries is midnight on Sunday 28th October 2018.

A Maria Farbinni Bride for an Ultra Glam Jewish Wedding with a Mirrored Peony Chuppah at the Metropolitan Club, New York City, USA

01/10/2018 by Karen Cinnamon

Jewish Wedding Metropolitan Club New York City NYC USA_0057
Um, WOW. Excuse us as we pick our jaws up off the floor. We are just floored by the magnificent mirrored (!) peony (!!) chuppah in today’s Jewish wedding.

It is just BEYOND, and those hanging peonies suspended from the canopy? Serious, serious #chuppahgoals. Bride Marina says standing under it felt like being in a midsummer night’s dream garden!

Actually, just about everything about this wedding is hardcore #goals. And it’s no wonder, with superstar wedding planner and Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Amy Katz running the show.

Marina, who works in product development, and Gary, an MBA student at UPenn’s Wharton School, can’t stop singing her praises, but her work bringing this epic day together really speaks for itself.

This duo had absolutely the quintessential NYC wedding, just bursting with old-school elegance (but with some very cool, very contemporary touches thrown in to keep things from getting stodgy — you won’t want to miss their tequila-infused Mar-Garita cake pops!.

And we could not be more in love with their exquisite Central Park photo shoot spearheaded by the couple’s fantastic photographer, Lilian Haidar.

There’s so much more to say, but we’ll leave it to Marina, who looked stunning in her strikingly elegant princess gown by Maria Farbinni…

How We Met

Marina, the bride: We met at a 4th of July party in Amagansett, NY. Marina invited Gary’s friend to a party her friend was hosting. The friend brought Gary along and the rest is history.

Everything You Need to Know about Planning a Destination Wedding in Italy {with Eleganté by Michelle J}

30/09/2018 by Karen Cinnamon

ITALIAN-DESTINATION-WEDDINGS
You might have noticed that I am totally obsessed with dreamy Italian destination Jewish (and Jew-ish) weddings. Between the historic elegance of the cities and those fantastic rolling hills in the countryside (not to mention that out-of-this-world Italian light), there’s just something about them I can’t get enough of.

That’s why I’m beyond thrilled that premiere Italian wedding specialist Michelle Jacobs of Elegante by Michelle J will be chatting with me live on the the Smashing The Glass Facebook page this Thursday, 4 October!

Michelle’s specialty is helping UK-based couples plan luxury Jewish weddings in Italy, and her work is totally and utterly breathtaking. She has planned some absolutely epic weddings (one of which we’re ecstatic to be blogging this coming Wednesday — watch this space… eek!), full of the most gorgeous details. Based in London, Michelle is intimately familiar with both Italian and UK vendors who can help make your destination wedding a smashing success.

A Rebecca Ingram Bride in a Leather Jacket for a Trilingual Rustic Jewish Wedding at Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton, Massachusetts, USA

28/09/2018 by Karen Cinnamon

Jewish Wedding Ferncroft Country Club, in Middleton, Massachusetts, USA_0079 - Copy
Okay, how cool is that customized leather jacket, today’s bride Lyubov paired with her classic Rebecca Ingram gown? We just love the touch of edge (not to mention the massive dose of personality) it adds to today’s fab Jewish wedding — and did we mention that Lyubov DIY’d it herself? #goals

There are just so many awesome touches in this fantastic day, from the sweet invitations — complete with cartoon portraits of Lyuobv and Juan, who both work in the pharmaceutical industry, in their W-day attire! — to the beautiful rustic birch chuppah, dolled up with touches of lace and greenery.

Fergie Medar Photography not only captured all the details beautifully, she really did an amazing job illustrating the love between these two and all the emotion that went into their day.

We’re also bowled over that the pair pulled off a tri-lingual (!) wedding. With the bride’s family speaking Russian, the groom’s speaking Spanish, and friends speaking English, Lyubov and Juan had speeches in not one, not two, but THREE languages. Prepare to be bowled over by Jonny Havens Wedding Films’ touching video.

Now over to Lyubov, who credits Smashing The Glass for providing loads of inspo in creating this special day!

How We Met

Lyubov, the bride: Juan and I met our freshman year of college in English class (he sat behind me), and we instantly connected. We were friends for a bit, and then started dating.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
