A Pnina Tornai Bride for a Super Luxe Colorful Jewish Wedding With a Show-Stopping Chuppah at The Beverly Hilton, Beverly Hills, California USA

19/02/2018 by Karen

Here at Smashing The Glass, we don’t use the word “luxe” lightly, but that is the only way to describe Della and Benjamin’s divine and decadent colorful Jewish wedding.

Not many brides can say they met the dress before they met the man, but that’s exactly what happened to bride Della, who fell in love with her Pnina Tornai gown five years before the pair actually met! It was totally worth the wait – Della looked simply incredible.

And her wedding was as extraordinary as her dress! The celebration was held at the glamorous Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and was brought together by incredible planner, L’Amour Event,

We’ve seen many a stunning chuppah in our time, but Della and Benjamin went all out, with a show-stopping garden-themed and foliage-rich chuppah, bursting with pops of color in the couple’s ‘shades of pink’ color palette. Butterfly Floral displayed ridiculous levels of talent in creating the absolute vision, and the complementary arrangements around the venue.

The fabulous floristry was echoed in the couple’s sensational seven-tier cake by Joanie and Leigh’s Cakes, also an absolute work of art.

All of the magic and dà©cor details were captured with aplomb by photographer John Solano, and in the beautiful, cinematic wedding video below, provided by David Medill.

It’s time to pass you over to Della for the full story on her and Ben’s magical day – we just know you’ll love it as much as we do!

A venue with a beautiful ballroom

Della, the bride: We got married at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA. We choose this place because of the ballroom layout. I liked that it was three levels and everyone was on a higher level than the dance floor, so they would all have a good seat at our wedding.

An Ines di Santo Bride for a Classic and Timeless Super Luxe Jewish Wedding at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California, USA

What happens when some of LA’s, scratch that – the world’s finest wedding vendors come together? A visual feast of classically elegant wedding wonderment, that’s what! Alina and Raphael’s super luxe Jewish wedding was the very definition of what a divine wedding looks like – down to every last detail.

Let’s start with bride Alina’s sophisticated and timeless style. She looked straight off the red carpet in her breathtaking off-the-shoulder Ines di Santo gown. We had the immense pleasure of interviewing Ines Di Santo for a Facebook Live, which is an absolute must watch if, like us, you’ve fallen in love with her work.

We have also featured outstanding florist Butterfly Floral in several past real weddings, and, as you can see from that INSANE ethereal garden-look chuppah, there’s a very good reason for that.

A wedding this spectacular could only have been brought together by a top-tier planner, and they don’t make ’em better than the unstoppable Delicate Details who, you’ve guessed it, has featured on the STG pages several times before (and is also offering all our STG Members Club Brides an exclusive 10% discount!). I think we can all agree that Maryam outdid herself!

It’s also very hard to do capturing a wedding of this calibre justice, but just LOOK at these absolutely phenomenal images by ridiculously talented photographers Lin & Jirsa (also offering our STG Members Club Brides a very special gift!). Everything is amazing about this big day, but those under-the-chuppah shots are out of this world!

We’ll leave you now with Alina’s awesome write up. A warning – you are going to want to steal every single detail about this stunner of a wedding.

How We Met

Alina, the bride: We met at a mutual friend’s birthday.

Wow, wow, WOW! That’s our unfiltered reaction to Sepi and Omid’s absolutely breathtaking, super luxe Jewish wedding.

Everything about this divine big day is eye-poppingly gorgeous. Dramatic dà©cor details, fashion-forward choices, a perspex and floral showstopper of a chuppah – there is SO much to love about Sepi and Omid’s white and gold-themed wedding that we barely know where to start!

The wedding was held at the very glamorous Four Seasons Westlake Village. A classic venue with such diverse areas — all perfect photography backdrops. The awe-inspiring ballroom with its chandeliers lent itself perfectly to the elegant theme, created by phenomenal wedding planner, Maryam at Delicate Details, who brought the couple’s vision to life with expert skill, and provided the writeup below. We’ve featured Maryam’s work on the blog in the past and we never fail to be blown away by what she does. Absolutely second to none.

We NEED to talk about bride Sepi’s mesmerisingly beautiful Galia Lahav gown. Those beads – that train!! Sepi genuinely looked like a million bucks – just a vision of bridal beauty.

We are HUGE Galia Lahav fans and we’re delighted to have chief designer, Sharon Sever, as one of the headline speakers at our incredible Smashing Summit this Wednesday 31st January. OMG — save your (free!) seat here!

It’s also not often we obsess over the groom’s shoes, but check out Omid’s amazing Christian Louboutin shoes – if you’re going to smash a glass, do it in style.

The ridiculously great photography was provided by another of our Smashing Summit headline speakers (we can’t overemphasise how excited we are about this lineup!) — Duke Photography. We could gush about his work for days, but really the pictures speak for themselves – we know you’ll just fall in love with them.

We’ll pass you over to Maryam now for her writeup of Sepi and Omid’s gorgeous celebration. Prepare yourselves – this one will really take your breath away… adnd enjoy the wonderful film by Wind Productions below too!

A venue to fall in love with

Maryam, the wedding planner: The Four Seasons Westlake Village offered the most glamorous setting. They fell in love the with waterfall backdrop for the ceremony and the gorgeous crystal chandeliers in the ballroom.

A Elly Sofocli Bride for a Super Luxe Jewish Wedding at the Epic National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia

17/01/2018 by Karen

We LOVE a good Australian wedding. Aussies bring a certain sophistication and luxe look that we absolutely adore – they really know how to do it Down Under, and Den and Eden’s Jewish wedding was no exception!

With their loved ones at the forefront of this caring couple’s mind, the pair had their Jewish ceremony in a close friend’s back garden, before a glamorous reception at the iconic and impressive National Gallery of Victoria.

As luck would have it, bride Den’s mother is an event planner, and was on hand throughout the process to bring everything together. The family-focused couple also adorned their chuppah with the tallit of three of their grandfathers, who had passed away, which we think is a beautiful way to honor lost loved ones during the chuppah service.

Beautiful bride Den looked sensational in her fashion-forward, form-fitting lace illusion Elly Sofolci Couture gown. With her bridesmaids all in ivory, holding tumbling bouquets of exotic flowers, the entire aesthetic was so on point that we actually can’t stop staring.

Den and Eden also provided a little extra entertainment to their guests, in the form of powerhouse violinist, Sally Cooper, whose sublime work you can see on YouTube. The room must have been simply electric!

Not one, but TWO fabulous Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendors were responsible for capturing the big day. Jeremy Blode put his phenomenal photography skills to work, creating a stunning set of images, while videographer Moon & Back created the romantic, cinematic wedding trailer below.

And now that we’ve prepared you for your dose of wedding pretty, it’s time to leave the blog in Den’s good hands for the writeup of her and Eden’s big day!

How we met

Den, the bride: We were introduced by a mutual friend, who we owe a beer or two.

A Monique Lhuillier Bride for a SUPER Luxe Jewish Wedding with an EPIC Colorful Chuppah at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California, USA

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2018 is officially here, and after a little blogging break for the holidays, we’re delighted to be back with a real bang – the explosion of color and floral fabulousness that is Gilda and Shahin’s super, super, SUPER luxe Jewish wedding! (With the perfect hashtag #Gildafindshershah )

We couldn’t start anywhere else if we tried – that chuppah is just BEGGING to be talked about. With its rainbow of stunning color and abundance of blooms, the chuppah was no less than a work of art, created by Celio’s Design, who also provided the divine arrangements for the reception. We are not worthy!

Not only was it show-stopping in its own right, but the chuppah perfectly framed all of the incredible ceremony and wedding party shots captured by photography GENIUS Jessica Claire. If you’ve heard the name Jessica Claire before, it’s because she’s truly one of the very very best in the business, a world-renowned photographer working out of the LA area and an absolute wedding industry legend – we absolutely adore showing off her work on Smashing The Glass.

After Eight Event Productions made the very most of the already unbelievable venue, Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, creating a truly outstanding event.

Beautiful bride, Gilda, looked like a designer’s dream in her timeless Monique Lhuillier gown and epic Christian Louboutin heels. Here at Smashing The Glass, we all have serious bridal style envy!

We’ll hand over to 2018’s very first Smashing The Glass real bride, Gilda, for the full writeup – take it away Gilda!

How we met

Gilda, the bride: My best friend, Della, introduced us at a party. She gave me the best gift a girl could ever ask for! Working around our schedules to plan our wedding was hard (I’m a dietician and Shahin is a vascular surgeon) but we did it!
