Giveaway: Win a Custom Jewish Wedding Monogram to Brand Your Big Day

10/01/2023 by Karen Cinnamon Leave a Comment

To celebrate a simply smashing engagement session, we’ve teamed up with Jewish Wedding Monogram over on Instagram to give one lucky couple a unique emblem of your love to illustrate your wedding day and beyond.

Mega-talented artist Elise Lerner of Jewish Wedding Monogram specializes in helping couples brand their Jewish weddings with bespoke monograms – in Hebrew or English – that tell your one-of-a-kind love story.


We are such fans of the way Jewish Wedding Monogram beautifully ties together the spiritual and aesthetic elements of your special day, and one of her custom monograms is the perfect touch to personalize your stationery, benchers, kippot, and more.

Why Get a Custom Jewish Wedding Monogram?

When you choose to work on a custom Jewish wedding monogram with Elise, she’ll get to know the two of you so she can create a monogram that speaks to your personalities, styles, and relationship – this is so much more than a simple initial monogram like you’d get embroidered on a towel or tote bag!

After the Wedding

And while there’s no limit to the opportunities to use your monogram in branding your big day, having a custom monogram symbolizing your union as a married couple can serve as a wonderful souvenir to take into your married life, too. Put it on a challah cover or etch it onto a wine glass and be reminded of the wonderful memories of your wedding day, and the promises you made to each other. If you’re in the US, you can even have your monogram made into custom postage stamps – perfect for those thank you notes!

The Prize

The lucky winner of our competition will receive one custom designed Hebrew or English monogram incorporating the bride and groom’s initials to be used for wedding invitations & remembrances, valued at $500. Art will be camera ready.

A Jewish Wedding at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel

It practically goes without saying that Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is an incredible venue for an urban glam Jewish wedding right in the heart of Manchester.

I’m obsessed with Kimpton Clocktower Hotel’s array of swoonworthy spaces, from intimate affairs in the delightful wood-paneled Directors Room to big bashes (we’re talking up to 700 guests!) in the majestic ballroom. There are also a range of gorgeous smaller spaces that offer a perfect backdrop for your tisch or badeken. 

When it comes to food, their acclaimed kitchen team will guide you through the kosher-style menus and introduce you to their preferred kosher caterers.

The fantastic team at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel believes that your wedding should be as unique as you are, and they’re 100% committed to helping you realize all your wedding day dreams. The dedicated events team, with a wide-ranging experience hosting Jewish weddings, will ensure every aspect of your day is planned to perfection.

Another thing I love about Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is that they make it so easy to turn your big day into a big Manchester weekend with all your friends and family. Their discounted room blocks make it easy to gather your favourite people under one roof and share even more quality time together.

And if you’re a member of Smashing The Glass’ Brides Club (our members club for Jewish and Jew-ish brides) Kimpton Clocktower Hotel are generously offering you 20% off private hire for weddings booked for 2023 and 2024 (blackout dates apply)!

If you want to find out more about Jewish weddings at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, email manchesterweddings@ihg.com or call +44 (0)161 288 1111.

A new statement of indulgence with an array of distinguished spaces, including the largest ballroom within the square mile, Pan Pacific London undoubtedly has something perfectly fitting for your day.

Tailoring everything to individual tastes, the hotel’s dedicated Event Emporium – the only one of its kind in the city – is an immersive experience that encapsulates the spirit of sincerity, sophistication and inspiration, turning those important occasions into sensory experiences. Absolutely no detail is spared during inspirational one-on-one sessions from the softness of the linen to the curation of personalised menus and the scent of the room, there are no limits other than your imagination. Here, creativity and collaboration combine for bespoke experiences that don’t just meet discerning expectations but, exceed them.

Pan Pacific London showcases a concept that is contemporary and all encompassing.

A JEWISH WEDDING AT THE PAN PACIFIC LONDON

Whatever your style and event needs, Pan Pacific London’s got it covered with their comprehensive packages. Inspired by the sculptures located in Singapore’s Gardens By the Bay, their collections – Fern, Lous, Moongate, and Dragonfly – are designed to deliver on your perfect day. You can see full details of all the options here. 

A Range of Spaces

Pan Pacific London’s got a fantastic range of gorgeous spaces to meet your unique needs, whether you’re having a big bash or an intimate wedding of just your nearest and dearest – or anything in between!

Pacific Ballroom

With exclusive access from Bishopsgate Plaza via an impressive glass escalator and lift, Pan Pacific’s majestic double-height, subterranean ballroom (the only one within the Square Mile) is quite extraordinary. Featuring contemporary elements amid elegant interiors the Pacific Ballroom is the quintessence of grandeur and grace. Offering a neutral color palette, Swarovski crystal chandeliers and state of the art technology that allows you to share special moments in the moment, globally, the ballroom is an unrivaled venue for those larger celebrations. The Pacific Ballroom can accommodate 280 for dinner and dancing or 400 for a ceremony or standing reception.

 

Pacific Ballroom Foyer

Flooded with natural daylight that cascades through the glass escalator, the Pacific Ballroom Foyer is a dedicated pre-function area perfectly complements the Pacific Ballroom. It is offered in conjunction with the ballroom and the space provides a dedicated cloakroom and private washroom facilities. It can accommodate 280 for a standing reception. 

Green Dragon

Located on the fifth floor and offering magnificent views over Bishopsgate Plaza through floor to ceiling windows, Green Dragon, which represents good fortune, could not be more perfect for those intimate occasions. Possessing a neutral palette for ease of styling and coming accompanied with a separate private pre-function area, the venue presents a unique choice for those looking to do things differently.
