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.

I have a deep personal love for Claudine… I met her right when I started Smashing The Glass back in 2013, and we now work together on all my shoots – she is super talented, has amazing ideas and she always knows how to put me at ease – I unashamedly love her! (Sorry to embarrass you Claudine).

Anyway I’m beyond thrilled that Claudine will be revealing her top Jewish wedding tips based on the 100’s of Jewish weddings she has lovingly captured (see  some of my fave real Jewish weddings of Claudine’s that have been featured on Smashing The Glass here!).Continue ReadingContinue Reading

5 Ways to Incorporate Jewish spirituality into your wedding and home – with Micaela Ezra, founder of AHYIN

01/07/2018 by Karen

AHYIN-MICAELA-EZRA
This Monday July 2, we are going live with the incredible Micaela Ezra, founder of AHYIN, to talk about  how to incorporate Jewish spirituality into your wedding and home.

As brides, we spend so much time thinking about the aesthetics and logistics of our big days, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the spiritual element of your Jewish (or Jew-ish) wedding — and of the home you’re building together.

That’s why I’m SO thrilled to be going live with NYC-based Micaela Ezra, the powerhouse designer behind AHYIN, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous line of contemporary Judaica that we on Team STG are absolutely OBSESSED with.

You’ll learn all about:

– How to incorporate spirituality in the lead up to your wedding

– How you might want your wedding to “feel” as opposed to material elements

– What spiritual Jewish path you might want to embark on with your partner

and so much more!

There’ll also be an exclusive gift from Micaela for everyone who watches… you won’t want to miss this!

We welcome any questions you may be – either comment live during the broadcast, or you submit a question in advance by emailing karen@smashingtheglass.com
