Inspired Jewish Weddings
As we round off our tour through some of the stunning Jewish weddings we’ve featured in 2025, we’re back in the UK for Rachel and Daniel‘s stunner of a Jewish wedding at The Landmark London, planned by GEN Z Events. We’re obsessed with the couple’s astounding floral chuppah, their Vogue-worthy photos from Rachel Takes Pictures, and Rachel’s breathtaking gown by Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Galia Lahav.
As we continue our tour through some of the stunning Jewish weddings we’ve featured in 2025. we’re revisiting Kirsty and Dean’s elegantly cozy winter wedding at the Rosewood London. Opting to veer away from the typical all-white winter scheme, they went for a soft color palette featuring nudes, blush pink, and gold – and warmed the room with candles everywhere. Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Elegante by Michelle J’s Piccolo premium coordination service ensured everything ran seamlessly and the bride and groom could enjoy their wedding stress-free, and Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Lynn Shapiro captured all the details and emotion of the day so exquisitely.
As we continue our journey through just a few of the stunning Jewish weddings we’ve featured over the past twelve months, we’re touching down in sunny South Florida, where Courtney, an NYC and FL-based fashion and wardrobe stylist with a focus on bridal styling, and Jason, a real estate broker, celebrated their exquisitely stylish nuptials.
Courtney curated the day impeccably, and every element reflected her taste and creative vision – from the modern, refined surroundings of their venue, the 1 Hotel in South Beach, to Courtney’s stunner of a gown by by beloved Israeli designer and Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Galia Lahav, to the clean, contemporary chuppah, set against the backdrop of the ocean and surrounded by lush white blooms from the ground up for a one-of-a-kind aesthetic – don’t miss it in the wonderful photos by PS Photography and trailer by Senderey.
Cool chuppah alert! Emily and Scott wanted their chuppah to make them feel like they were floating on a cloud – and they totally nailed it. Featuring an abundance of giant fabric flowers in white, combined with white hydrangeas and delicate blossoms, we’ve never seen anything quite like it – and we’re totally smitten.
It also goes perfectly with Emily’s stunner of a gown from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Galia Lahav: a custom style inspired by the beloved Israeli designer’s “Rosemary,” replete with the most exquisite 3D floral lace. It’s really something special – don’t miss it in the wonderful photos by Rebecca Searle.
We’re obsessed with the epic party vibes Emily and Scott set for their day – complete with the chicest use of disco balls we’ve ever seen. We’ll turn you over to Emily for the rest…
Emily, the bride: My childhood best friend, Calum, worked with my now husband and after (husband’s words) fancying me from seeing me on Calum’s social media, Calum told me to meet him after work for drinks and without me knowing had told Scott to join. The rest is history…
Extra context: we dated for a few months and then Covid / lockdown started and I ended up being locked down in Scott’s family home (with Covid) for 2 weeks, a few weeks later and we’re madly in love.
Have we got a stunner of a Jewish wedding for you! Rachel, who’s in beauty PR, and Daniel, who works for a bank, had the most breathtakingly gorgeous London Jewish wedding you ever did see.
The duo worked with Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor GEN Z Events to plan the day of their dreams, and, in Rachel’s words, “I wouldn’t have been able to do anything without them! Jay and the team bought my vision to life in ways I didn’t even know were possible. The theme of the wedding was fairytale, whimsical and to bring my dream of being a princess for a day come true, and it definitely did!”
Speaking of being a princess for the day – can we talk about Rachel’s gown? Rachel always dreamed of a gown by Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Galia Lahav, and true to plan she found the absolute perfect dress (and veil!) in the beloved Israeli designer’s Gia – with some added customization to make it totally, 100% her. Rachel can’t stop raving about her experience at Galia Lahav’s London flagship.
The Landmark London, with its glass ceiling and palm trees, provided the perfect outdoor-indoor atmosphere for the day, and we’re also obsessed with the couple’s divine floral chuppah! Don’t miss it all in the wonderful photos by Rachel Takes Pictures.
Now over to Rachel…
Rachel, the bride: We met at JFS secondary school in year 7! We were in the same year, had the same friends and officially got together in year 9!
