Country House Jewish Wedding Inspo at Offley Place, Hitchin, Hertfordhsire, UK

19/05/2020 by Karen Cinnamon


Who doesn’t love an English country house wedding? Here at Team STG, we sure do! So we were pretty excited when we found out that some of our very favourite Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendors – photographer Rafe Abrook, planner Rachel Flax Events, and makeup artist Katy Angelidi – had teamed up to organize a gorgeous styled shoot at Offley Place in Hitchin, North Hertfordshire. 

Offley Place is a totally gorgeous venue in North Hertfordshire – one of those magical places that hits that tiny spot on the Venn diagram where classic English countryside meets proximity to London. 

It’s a favorite with STG readers – and our Brides Club member Shelley‘s interfaith Jewish wedding to Chris last spring just happens to be the very first to take place in the newly opened Hester Ballroom (with capacity for 250 guests!).

And they even used one of our very own smash glass pouches!

Plus, how cool (and rare) is it to see a Jewish-themed styled shoot?

All the stationery and signage used in this shoot was created by wonderful Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Liv & Luc!

And that gorgeous gown (as well as the others used in this shoot) came from another beloved Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor, Morgan Davies Bridal!

How dreamy is this tablescape? We’re obsessed with the chic florals by Sian Ryan Design, who created all of the stunning arrangements used in this shoot.

And here’s the Hester Ballroom – what a space!

Chic chuppah, right? It was created by none other than Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor The Happy Chuppah People.

Obsessed with that bouquet!

And this contemporary watercolor ketubah by Liv & Luc!

Loving this fur capelet from Morgan Davies Bridal!

The perfect country house backdrop!

And how much do we love this incredible heart challah?! SO MUCH.

Finally, a little BTS action from Rachel Flax Events as she makes our tablescape dreams come true… and the wonderful Katy Angelidi working her magic. Perfection!
