The ’Smashing Summit’ (and something new and VERY exciting from Smashing The Glass) is happening today!

31/01/2018 by Karen

Smashing-Summit
You probably won’t be surprised to hear that I’ve been up since 4am preparing for today’s Smashing Summit. I’m just SO ridiculously excited about it!

I can’t wait to, not only help you plan your wedding your way (along with my 12 superstar special guests listed below), but also to reveal something brand new and never-been-seen-before for Jewish (and Jew-ish) brides that I have been working on for months now.

I promise you what we’re launching at the Summit is going to BLOW YOUR MIND!

We’ll also be releasing details of our very limited edition Smash Glass Pouches (below) for under the chuppah. Yes,   you can say good bye to the days of your glass wrapped in foil, a napkin, or an old-fashioned velvet pouch — STG Smash Glass Pouches have arrived!!

Smash-Glass-Pouch-Jewish-Wedding

You can watch the whole Summit from home (or sneakily in the office if it’s not evening in your part of the world!) as the entire Summit will be broadcast live on our Facebook page.

We positively encourage cosy slippers and a hot chocolate (or a large glass of wine!) whilst watching, so whether you’re a bride, groom, relative, friend, or wedding vendor, join me to find out EVERYTHING you need to know to plan your Jewish (or Jew-ish!) wedding your way.

Here’s the essential Summit info:

Date: Today (January 31, 2018)
Time: 5:30pm UK (12:30pm New York, 9:30am Los Angeles)
