Smashing New Year!

31/12/2014 by Karen

2015 gold
Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!  I  wanted to take the opportunity  to  wish you all an incredible  year  ahead. I’ve been privileged enough to have had an  ‘annus mirabilis’ getting to know you all  and  I am so excited for what I have lined up for you over the coming  12 months. Let’s just say that  if you thought Smashing The Glass  was good in 2014 just wait until you see what  wedding wonders  I’ve got in store for you in  2015!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, support, comments, content and interactions  from all over the world over the  past twelve months.  I’m so thrilled  that we share in the joint inspiration of Smashing The Glass.

See you on the other side…

Love K A R E N  x x x

Best Jewish Wedding Moments – Smashing The Glass Picks of 2014

23/12/2014 by Karen

Best-Jewish-Wedding
It’s my hope that every day is an inspiring one on Smashing The Glass, but today I’m  revealing my 20  ‘best of the best’  Jewish wedding details of 2014, so it  might just be the most inspiring day of the year on the blog yet! I’m talking the most original chuppah design, the best smashing-the-glass moment, the best wedding slogan, the best twist on the traditional hotel wedding, the most unusual Jewish wedding venue… you get the picture.. a huge array  of the very best Jewish wedding details all wrapped up in one fabulous post!

From  tomorrow I’ll be taking a short break to spend some quality time with my family  over  the holidays, and  during that time  I’ll be posting  some of my favourite real Jewish weddings from the archives. But today it’s all about the ‘best bits’ from Smashing The Glass’s 60 real Jewish weddings  that were featured  in  2014. That’s 60  à¼ber cool, unique, inspirational Jewish (and Jew-ish!) weddings that were showcased over  the last 12 months that inspired thousands of you across the globe!

I would like to extend an  enormous  thank you to my wonderful readers and sponsors for all your support during 2014  — It brought me such joy to share the most creative  Jewish weddings and ideas with you, and I can’t wait to bring you even more inspiration (and a whole host of exciting projects including the brand new Smashing The Glass shop) in the New Year.

Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday. I’ll see you (hangover or no hangover)  on the morning of January 1st  2015! Meanwhile enjoy the best of the best…
