8 must-have items for a memorable Jewish wedding ceremony

20/11/2015 by Karen

Jewish wedding ceremony
I started  Smashing The Glass back in May 2013 because I wanted to create the blog I wish I’d had access to when I was planning my own Jewish wedding. When I was planning my big day, I felt that there was a total lack  of Jewish wedding inspiration that wasn’t  ‘old fashioned schmaltz’. And when it came to planning an individual  and personal  Jewish wedding ceremony,  this was particularly relevant.

One of the most popular pages on the blog is my constantly updated chuppah ideas page with literally hundreds of cool, creative ideas for you to peruse through and be inspired by. Today I’ve gone a step further and picked out  an edit of some of the most gorgeous products  for  under the chuppah  in my quest to help you infuse  your Jewish wedding ceremony with beauty, individuality  and creativity. At the end of the post there are also several links to help you source some really fabulous  music for your Jewish (or Jew-ish!) wedding ceremony  too.

Hope you’re inspired. Happy Friday!

1.  Smash Pouch (coming soon)

I named  the blog  Smashing The Glass  because I absolutely  adore the celebratory Jewish wedding tradition of the  breaking the glass at the end of the ceremony so I just had  to create this personalised bag to house the glass. And guess what?! I will very shortly be selling these personalised ‘smash pouches’ for you to break  your glass in style, and have a beautiful keepsake  from your ceremony! Sign up here to be the first to know when they go on sale.

    These ideas are so wonderful! My sister and her fiance are working on planning their Jewish wedding ceremony and I think the personalized pouch is such a fun and memorable idea! They are getting really excited about their plans and I can’t wait to see how everything turns out. I will be sure to pass these awesome ideas on to them, thanks for sharing!
