An Oscar De La Renta Bride for a City Chic Jewish Wedding at Ziegfeld Ballroom, NYC, New York, USA

26/04/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

Ali and Andrew’s Jewish wedding was just SO gloriously NYC, and we are here for it! They opted to make it official at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom, and took advantage of the prime Midtown location for some incredible couple’s shoots on the streets of NYC and in Central Park. Don’t miss the gorgeous images by Sarah Merians Photography!

We’re also obsessed with Ali and Andrew’s exquisite Art Deco-inspired chuppah, featuring florals in blue, purple, pink, and white – and we love that the pair opted to have their chuppah in the round so everyone could feel like part of the ceremony.

Now over to Ali, who looked so glam in her Oscar De La Renta gown…

A Marcella NYC Bride for a Dreamy Jewish Wedding at Villa Corsini, Florence, Italy

29/03/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

There’s something about a Tuscan wedding – and we’re head over heels for the beautiful Jewish destination wedding of American couple A and S.

Both professional musicians with busy schedules, these two knew they could use some help making the wedding of their dreams a reality, and they turned to Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Primavera Dreams. In the couple’s words, founder Luba

was instrumental in implementing our wedding vibe/atmosphere. We wanted it to feel luxurious but not too stuffy, casual and comfortable but also elegant, colorful but also classic. Luba and Yael helped execute amazing events leading up to the wedding for our guests that allowed them to get to know each other and bond.

We also love that bride A opted for an off-the-rack dress from Marcella NYC rather than a traditional wedding gown – a great reminder that there are lots of fabulous out-of-the-box (and budget-friendly) options when it comes to bridal fashion.

We’re obsessed with the exquisite photos by Michael Zennaro – scroll on to take in ALL the gorgeousness for yourself!

How We Met

The bride: We actually first met (as friends) in high school at a summer music program, but reconnected about 10 years later living in New York City.Continue Reading

A Romona Keveza Bride for a Wedding Planner’s Own Jewish Wedding at Carnegie Hall, NYC, New York, USA

25/03/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

We love seeing the choices top wedding pros make when it comes to their own big days – so naturally we were thrilled to see the fabulous NYC Jewish wedding of Andrea, founder of Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor NYLUX Events, and Adam, who works in finance.

Thanks to her work in the industry, Andrea knows all of the city’s under-the-radar venues, and she and Adam chose to wed at one of the very best: Carnegie Hall. Although it’s one of New York’s most iconic music venues, it’s a hidden gem of an events space, with outdoor space, epic views, and a prime location near Central Park – and Andrea and Adam loved sharing it with their friends and family.

The couple wanted to keep their wedding elegant, classic, intimate, and fun – like a big dinner party – and with special details like a cocktail hour to open the wedding, personalized notes for all the guests, embroidered napkins with bespoke logos, and a last hour “after party” featuring bar carts and pizza on the dance floor, they achieved their goal and then some! Photographers Todd France and Phillip Van Nostrand are behind the exquisite photojournalistic imagery, and videographers Davitte Taveras from Dartiztudio and Karlie Rogers from Karlie Louise Photography captured the day in action.

When Andrea counsels brides shopping for their wedding gowns, she advises them to pick something that will withstand the test of time – and she certainly followed her own advice with her sleek, minimalist dress by Romona Keveza Collection – with a striking asymmetrical top, it’s elegant with just a little bit of edge and we couldn’t love it any more!

Read on for all the rest of the details of this very special day…

How We Met

Andrea, the bride: We met online and in our initial conversation, realized we had raised our children just a few blocks away from each other in suburbia. We had our first date a few days later on Monday, second date on Tuesday, third date on Wednesday and we have been together ever since. It was easy right from the beginning.Continue Reading

A Vera Wang Bride for an English Countryside Jewish Wedding at Cornwell Manor, The Cotswolds, UK

22/03/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

If you’re dreaming of an English countryside wedding, it doesn’t get any better than this! Shayna, who works in ecommerce, and Marc, a trader at a bank, live in the US, but given that Marc is from London a destination wedding in England was a natural choice.

And who wouldn’t want to make things official in the beautiful Cotswolds – especially at a venue as stunning as Cornwell Manor? A venue this gorgeous doesn’t need much in the way of décor – and indeed, Shayna and Marc picked a color palette of pale blue with hints of lavender and neutrals (and lots of greenery, put to excellent use in the pair’s glorious chuppah) to complement the beauty of the English countryside rather than distracting from it. Don’t miss all the exquisite details in the dreamy photos by Abul and video by Jake Burgess!

There’s so much more to say about this very special Jewish wedding, but we’ll hand you over to the bride – who looked so elegant in Vera Wang – for the rest…

How We Met

Shayna, the bride: We met though the dating app The League in Manhattan, NY.Continue Reading

A Lihi Hod Bride for a Jewish Wedding with an Epic Chuppah at Hotel Eden Roc Ascona, Switzerland

18/03/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

We see a lot of gorgeous chuppahs here at STG HQ, but today’s really takes the (wedding) cake. Gemma, a senior associate solicitor, and Kevin, a CEO and director, chose to wed at Switzerland’s Hotel Eden Roc Ascona because of its significance in the bride’s family history. But it also happened to be the absolute perfect spot for that breathtaking outdoor chuppah overlooking Lake Maggiore in the sunshine.

The chuppah had transparent sides to ensure that all guests got a good view of the ceremony, and the jewels hanging down from the sides of the chuppah picked up the reflections of the sun hitting the glistening lake. Add in some soft florals in Gemma and Kevin’s color scheme of pale pink, pale blue, and cream and you’ve got pure perfection.

We also love that Gemma opted to have a bespoke dress made by Israeli designer Lihi Hod in Tel Aviv – and how cool was Gemma’s custom veil, with the couple’s names and wedding logo embroidered?!

The whole day was captured exquisitely by Ash Davenport of MIKI Studios – scroll on for some serious eye candy…
