A Maggie Sottero Bride for a Nature-Inspired Jewish Wedding at Weylin, Brooklyn, New York, USA

by

Katharine-Marc-Weylin-Brooklyn-New-York-USA

We love a good New York Jewish wedding, and this one is really something special! Kat, an obstetrician-gynecologist, and Marc, an emergency physician, got married at Weylin in Brooklyn, and we can’t get enough of all the gorgeous details this historic building has to offer (including a breathtaking frescoed dome!).

Kat and Marc wanted their day to be a solid mix of the traditional and the unconventional, opting for a classic ceremony followed by an offbeat reception. Throughout, they drew inspiration from nature, from their wonderful chuppah adorned with greenery and florals to Kat’s Maggie Sottero dress to the couple’s exquisite tree ketubah by Shell Rummel, found at Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor ketubah.com.

Take one look at the beautiful photos by Megan and Kenneth and you’ll see that this was one joyful day – read on for all the details!

Debra-and-Brandon-the-Addison-Boca-Raton-Florida-USA

We love a glam Jewish wedding, so we were thrilled to see that Debra and Brandon went full-on with their New Year’s Eve wedding! Opting for a “festive black tie” dress code, they went with a mirror theme, including a mirrored chuppah and mirrored dance floor, and naturally they ended the night with a champagne toast and balloon drop at midnight!

Florida couple Debra and Brandon, both attorneys, were looking for a venue where they could have a kosher wedding on a holiday weekend, and The Addison in Boca Raton was the perfect spot for the couple’s celebration. Check out how absolutely chic every detail was from start to finish in the wonderful photos by Jack Bates Photography!

We can’t turn you over to Debra before remarking on her incredibly elegant custom gown by Mark Ingram – just the perfect look for this perfect day!

A Martin Thornburg Bride for a Tree of Life-Themed Jewish Wedding at the Grand Hyatt, Buckhead, Georgia, USA

by

David-and-Taylor-Grand-Hyatt-Buckhead-Georgia-USA

We just love today’s couple’s Jewish wedding theme: tree of life! Taylor, a nurse practitioner, and David, an orthopedic surgery resident, love the outdoors, and they settled on this theme as the perfect way to combine their enthusiasm for nature with their deep connection to Jewish tradition.

They found the perfect spot for their big day in the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead, Georgia, featuring gorgeous Japanese Zen Gardens where the duo held their chuppah (birch, and embellished with greenery, florals, and foliage – so on theme!). Don’t miss it in the wonderful photos by Hellen Oliveira Photography.

A tree of life ketubah was a must for Taylor and David, and they found the perfect design on Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor ketubah.com, from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Nava Shoham.

There’s so much more to say, but we’ll let the bride take it from here…

by

Yael-and-Joel-Borgo-Stomennano-Tuscany-Italy

There’s no question that Tuscany is one of the world’s most gorgeous destinations for a Jewish wedding – and Yael and Joel’s special day is just beyond!

After recovering from a serious car accident, the couple knew their top priority was spending quality time together with their loved ones – and so they decided to make a full wedding weekend of it at beautiful Borgo Stomennano, a picturesque historic estate nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany.

The couple’s photographer, Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Ronen Boidek, captured the day in all its glory. Yael says that Ronen “has so much talent and has this special capability to catch the essence of people’s personalities in his pictures,” and we couldn’t agree more!

Yael also looked absolutely radiant in her stunner of a gown by beloved Israeli bridal designer Berta – read on for the full story in her words…

How We Met

Yael, the bride: We met at the wedding of our good friends Jenija and Steph in Tel Aviv, in 2017. Jenija and Yael went to kindergarten together and Joel and Steph met playing tennis together as kids while on holiday in Israel, a few decades ago.

Bride and groom thought we’d be a great match and had planned to seat us next to each other on their wedding at the singles table, but we already ‘found’ each other a few days before at their pre-party at the bar and have been inseparable ever since.Continue ReadingContinue Reading

Millie, the bride: Josh and I have a bit of a history, dating when we were 16 and 17 for a year. Then having nearly 7 years apart and other relationships getting back together once we both graduated uni. We had zero contact in those years. I was travelling with friends in 2018, and one of them drunkly forced me to add him on snapchat! The rest was history. Nearly 4 years on we got engaged and 5 years on married. We now live in Manchester, I work in marketing for a financial services company and Josh is a Chartered Surveyor.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
