Back home from the Sunshine State!

20/01/2014 by Karen

Florida  [image:  Boston Public Library  ]

I haven’t posted in over a week as I’ve been abroad in Florida visiting my wonderful brother, sister-in-law and nephew. We took our daughter (now 10 weeks old) with us, and my parents came too. It was terrific to be altogether and to spend quality time as a family in the state of sunshine, oranges and alligators.

We arrived home a couple of hours ago and as lovely as it was to go on holiday, I must say, it is just as delightful to come home (I’m soppy like that).

Now I’m back I have to admit that I’m excited to get going on some really wonderful (and wildly different)  real Jewish weddings. I’ve got Smashing The Glass’s first South African Jewish wedding going online in the next couple of days which I am seriously excited about! It’s a gorgeous chic-meets-rustic affair photographed by the awesome Darren Bester.

Also coming soon, and another first for STG, is a white-themed Bali island Jewish wedding (squeal!) photographed by the incredible Studio Impressions.

And I’ve also got a fancy dress Jewish wedding set in an Arthouse cinema in West Sussex in the pipeline. Does it get better than that? Well yes – when said wedding is seaside-themed, takes place on New Years Eve, and is photographed by the utterly fabulous Martin Beddall,  it absolutely does!

Lastly there’s a fabulous big gay dance party Jewish wedding coming up in the next couple of weeks too. Sneak peaks of all four w-days are below but check back soon for all four glorious weddings in full technicolour. You guys are in for some serious Jewish wedspiration!

Freya & Tim | Outdoor Fun ‘n’ Games Jewish Wedding at Ketchum Rotary Park, Idaho, USA

18/10/2013 by Karen

DIY Jewish Wedding 43
This is a great example of a wedding that shows what you can achieve if you put a bit of time and effort in to doing something, and that a wedding doesn’t have to cost an absolute fortune! With the sun shining and your best friends and family around you, it’s easy to remember that the best things in life are free…cheesy but true.

Freya and Tim are both farmers – Tim is a 6th generation farmer in rural southern Minnesota and Freya is an organic farmer by profession and runs her own small produce business. Agriculture, food, and the outdoors is the core of who they are and being a totally ‘smashing’ couple and  essentially being truly authentic to themselves, these elements came through beautifully and personally in their relaxed outdoor wedding.

DIY Jewish Wedding INTRO
A HOMEMADE, HANDMADE OUTDOOR WEDDING
Freya, The Bride: Our wedding was in Ketchum, Idaho and we held the ceremony and reception in Ketchum Rotary Park along the Bigwood river, the river upon which I grew up and love dearly.  Tim and I didn’t really go for a theme or colour scheme. Everything was very simple and natural and the whole event was homemade and handmade – DIY style – very relaxed, like an afternoon picnic. We had lots of games like bean bag toss, ladder golf, hula hoops, bubbles, etc and these were played by both adult (and little) kids!

We had directional signs, chalkboards and such, all made by my husband. There was not much need for more decoration than that as it was such a beautiful venue.
DIY Jewish Wedding INTRO 2DIY Jewish Wedding GAMESDIY Jewish Wedding 38
MY OWN BRIDAL STYLE
I knew I wanted to be comfortable and feel like myself, not all made-up and princess-like. After trying on too many “cupcake” dresses, I found the “mini-cupcake” and loved it. I paired the dress with Canadian-made handcrafted Boulet western boots, that were a gift from my husband a few months before we got engaged. He knows I love my boots, and the collection keeps growing.

In terms of jewellery, I wore my mothers, sisters, late-grandmothers and my pearl bracelets. It meant a lot to me to have all those women with me under the chuppah….

Chuppah ideas

chuppah ideasThe chuppah in its simplest form is a canopy attached to four poles but there are literally endless variations. Try and incorporate ideas that reflect you as a couple into your chuppah, whether it’s having four close friends holding the poles (and these friends don’t have to be Jewish!), or using your favourite flowers, or colour combinations; or simply creating something extraordinary that you love the look of.

The chuppah symbolises the home you and your partner will build together during your marriage, but as well as using the chuppah to celebrate your spirituality, let your personality shine through too!

Oh… and for the perfect accessory under the chuppah you’ll want one of our own-brand smash glass pouches (below!).

Enjoy the chuppah inspo and comment below and tell us which one’s your favorite!

Smash-Glass-Pouch

Hailey & Jeffrey‘s copper structure added a modern look, and contrasted perfectly against the green background and vibrant pink! 


Simple but effective – florals in one corner, complemented with the wooden structure of Eunice & Louis‘ wedding. Gorgeous.


Sophie and Marc‘s wedding with a full floral chuppah…we love the beautiful colours!


White draped material and rich red florals made a romantic chuppah at Alisa & Evan‘s wedding…swoon!


Rebecca & Joel‘s bamboo chuppah with pretty & fun florals – love the elegant colours! 


Alexis & Marc chose a beautiful rustic theme with neutral colours.


Laura and Raj‘s chuppah incorporated peonies, roses and more! Pinks and peaches with green are a beautiful combination don’t you think?!


Jenna and Adrian‘s pretty gypsophilia chuppah shows how less is more works!


Julia and Max‘s tree chuppah was designed to bring the feel of New York’s most beautiful season to their decidedly indoor affair. How amazing?!


Laura and Josh used bright sunflowers and florals for their minimal and chic chuppah.


Jacklyn and Jeffrey‘s chuppah was a large gold structure and was inspired to match the absolutely gorgeous ballroom at the Intercontinental. This was teamed with two huge Pampas grass & rose explosions in front of the chuppah, and lots of candles.


Jenny and Zach  chuppah was “a dream come true – I always wanted an open hanging chuppah where everyone could see us clearly. The mix of greenery and flowers was absolutely stunning”. We couldn’t agree more!


Rachelle and Elan chose a wonderful rustic wood chuppah with bright and beautiful flowers…


Jaime and Varun‘s chuppah was breathtaking. White drapery contrasting beautifully with bright pink and red flowers, and crystals for the extra wow factor!


Davina and Adam‘s chuppah was covered by wine leaves and flowers lifting/growing from the bottom of the chuppah poles and glass bubbles hanging under the chuppah. 


Aliza and Michael‘s chuppah was modern, minimal and gorgeous!


Melanie and Benjamin‘s geometric chuppah was modern, rustic and romantic!


Ashleigh and Jason‘s floral chuppah with a panoramic view of the marina was simple, classic and elegant.


Wendy and Nagesh had a stunning chuppah overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with white draping and bold colors for their florals.


Gina and Mike opted for a simple floral chuppah (built by Gina’s Dad!) and gorgeous colorful florals.


Sapir and Steve‘s chuppah was “designed very elegantly, we did not want it to stand out too much due to the breathtaking view of the Western Wall so we kept it clean and classy”. 


Yasmin and Andy‘s chuppah was full of greenery, and only white/cream flowers. Yasmin’s favourite part was “all the twigs that we had coming out on the top of the chuppah. Again, my requirements were for it to not look too neat!”

Yasmin-Andy-Quendon-Hall-UK


How amazing is the chuppah from Simone and Isaac‘s wedding, which, in keeping with the theme of celebrating Tucson’s natural beauty, incorporates not only flowers but also cactus pads… so gorgeous!

Simone-Isaac-Tucson-Arizona


With an amazing backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, Wendy and Nagesh kept their chuppah design very simple, with florals at the top and fabric down the sides. We love the colours!


This “floating” chuppah (thanks to lucite columns) is pretty cool from Eliana and Eric‘s wedding…a touch of magic!


All white was the look for Nargiz and Ryan, which looks so magical and pretty…


The chuppah for Gemma and David had a simple design and was adorned with flowers in their colour scheme. It was in the perfect position to frame the amazing, breathtaking view of Jerusalem.

Gemma-and-David-Olmaya-Jerusalem


This beautiful floral chuppah from Cassie and Yona‘s wedding consisted of lots of greenery covering the chuppah with beautiful pink and white flowers…


Boho festival chic was the theme Alana and Adam chose for their wedding, which was reflected perfectly in their chuppah design using Birch wood and pretty florals.


This glorious outdoor chuppah from Mica and Gabriel‘s wedding had fresh flowers and greenery all along including proteas.

Mica-Gabriel-Texas-Discovery-Gardens-and-Butterfly-House


Dara and Max‘s chuppah was a monumental twelve foot garden chuppah made out of boxwood with a six foot domed top. Amazing!

Dara-Max-The-Cleveland-Museum-of-Art


Kimi and Richard‘s chuppah was in the middle of a forest garden, and wanted the design to match the surroundings. They went for birch poles to match the trees around us and flowers across the top of the chuppah that matched their green and white bouquets.

Enzoani-Bride-Hacienda-del-Alamo


We’re obsessed with Devorah and Yitzchak’s chuppah – and not just because of the stunning views overlooking Jerusalem’s Old City. Devorah crafted the chuppah herself, using her beloved late grandfather’s tallit for the canopy, draped over wooden poles wrapped in roses. So simple, and so perfect.

Devorah-Yitzchak-Beit-Shmuel-Jerusalem


“Because a chuppah is meant to symbolize a home, and because we want to not only build a home for ourselves, but cultivate community for the sake of a more regenerative future, a hexagonal chuppah felt like a natural choice to us”. We love this chuppah from Ganga and Seth‘s wedding.


Lauren and Anthony wanted everyone to see what was happening under the chuppah and also see the view at all times, so they went with a Perspex chuppah with gypsophila on the top. Minimal and beautiful!


This incredible chuppah from Alex and Heather‘s wedding features abundant white flowers and lush greenery!


Katie and Max’s chuppah was made from birch trees and decorated with the most stunning display of white flowers and greenery!


Amy and Richard wanted the chuppah to feel festival boho chic and had the chuppah styled like a tent structure. From the background they hanged lace dream-catchers with bits of greenery and flowers in shades of cream, blush, mint and peach – a big YES!


What a stunning peony chuppah! Mixed with fresh greenery and other flowers in shades of pink, peach, and white, JingJing and Andrew‘s chuppah struck the perfect balance between minimalism and whimsy, simplicity and lushness.


You can’t love Amy and Andrew‘s modern and colorful chuppah! They went with copper structure with a few bunches of bright fun flowers – a rainbow glitz Jewish wedding!


Still in awe with Anna and Nir‘s with white cascading flowers and birch dreamy chuppah! 


Shelly and Harel wanted a magical chuppah and that’s exactly what they got! It was filled with white and pink flowers and fairy lights and with enough space for the whole family including grandparents to stand in it with the newlyweds. Perfection!


East Meets West-inspired chuppah? Yes, in macrame for the bohemian-modern feel Nikki and Adam were looking for.

Destination-wedding-Jonah-Club-in-Netanya-Israel


Greenery and white flowers’ modern chuppah goes so well with a rustic-feel venue – thank you, Jacqui and James!


Rachel and Mikey ended up with the perfect English country garden wedding with a touch of modern sophistication. Take their Perspex chuppah – it was chosen so that guests could have an unimpeded view of the ceremony as they were seated in a circle surrounding the structure, but there’s no denying it also added a hit of contemporary style to the pastoral surroundings.


Amit and Orr went non-traditional for their ceremony, in place of a traditional chuppah they went for a geometric floral backdrop. We adore it!


We love the good boho vibes from this wedding, from the outdoor garden setting to the Anna’s laid-back gown to the chill décor – much of which was created and arranged by the couple and their friends! We’re especially crazy about the the dreamcatchers the couple placed behind their simple chuppah!


How lovely is it that the couple used Samantha’s late grandma’s lace tablecloth as their chuppah canopy? Set atop birch poles and adorned with wildflower arrangements, it not only had sentimental value but looked totally stunning.


Orchids + acrilic chuppah = what a gorgeous combination! From Samantha and Justin‘s wedding.


Do you love pink as much as Julie? If so, this is the right chuppah for you.


A wooden structure chuppah covered in soft white blossoms with a canopy made by a friend, who quilted a design that will be turned into a family tree – and also a family heirloom for Natalie and Samson’s own future children to marry under one day.


Go with white and green for your chuppah… and you won’t be wrong! From Gabby and Jason‘s wedding.


And these two had a chuppah unlike any we’ve seen before – sure, there were stunning bright florals, but what really bowled us over is not the outside of this chuppah but the inside: Isa and Daniel decorated the underneath of the canopy with photos of their families through the generations, including those who couldn’t be physically present on the day – what a special way to literally envelope yourselves in the people who love you most!


Jordan and Kent‘s atmospheric chuppah in deep autumnal shades is one for the books. We truly love it!


Epic floral chuppah yet. Seriously, it’s a stunner, with wooden poles adorned with curly willow branches, blush white and ivory florals, moss accents and ethereal greenery. As seen in Lindsay and Corey‘s wedding.


We love Batia and Darren‘s sweet, simple chuppah – and it just goes to show you don’t need to go all out for something mega-opulent to create a gorgeous floral chuppah. A simple wooden structure wrapped in just the right amount of delicate roses and soft green vines – done!


Bianca and Ruben‘s together the perfect modern tropical Jewish wedding on the beach, with a simple yet statement-making chuppah covered in tropical leaves.


Jessica and Brant‘s stunning chuppah was the pinnacle of jungle chic, and we love that, wanting to get the maximum enjoyment out of it, Jessica and Brant opted to repurpose it for the party, displaying their gorgeous cake and a cool neon sign under it.


 

 

Claudia and Marc wanted a chuppah that would complement with the surrounding greenery, so they went with white fabrics and floral arrangements: we love their choice!


Sophie and Elliot went for a beautiful green and white chuppah that made a statement yet didn’t distract from the natural splendor of the surroundings.


Miri and Dan‘s floral chuppah – so sweet and simple, yet so perfect!


Look at this chuppah! With natural wooden poles wound with tropical vines, greenery, and exuberant flowers, we’re totally transported to Shahar and Or‘s island paradise.


Deep colours for Shir and Jonathan‘s chuppah!


Absolutely in love with Michelle and Joel‘s fab tropical chuppah with its lush green canopy and soft pink florals!


Jessica and Jonathan didn’t want to “gild the lily” too much as they felt there was beauty in the simplicity of exchanging lifelong vows and they had beautiful flowers and candles behind the chuppah creating a backdrop.


We just might have a new all-time favourite chuppah. Seriously, could you imagine anything more perfect for a sundrenched Spanish seaside wedding than this symphony in white and green? We’re pretty sure we can’t.
As seen in Georgia and Joel‘s wedding.


How much do we love this magical chuppah in the middle of the forest? SO MUCH. The epic setting of Carly and Daniel’s summer camp-themed Jewish wedding is nothing short of magical.


Ready for some tropical paradise vibes? We’re talking an orchid chuppah, bright tropical flowers everywhere and an all-day outdoor celebration right on the beach. As seen in Kamina and Warren‘s wedding in Thailand.


Go green-ery with your chuppah! We love what Janice and Samuel were able to pull off at their wedding!


Playing with gypsophila and blush roses for a dreamy chuppah, as seen in Lian and Amir‘s wedding in Mexico!It’s like standing under a fluffly cloud!


Still in owe with Meredith and Sean‘s chuppah: blush hydrangeas and peach peonies are the perfect marriage!


Deborah and Michael‘s rose chuppah is an absolute stunner – yup, that chuppah alone contained a whopping 1500(!) roses. Wow!


Oh. This. Chuppah. Bride Georgia came up with the design for the simple wooden structure draped in garlands of blue hydrangea and the most exquisite ropes of bright orange marigold. It’s truly a stunner, from the unlikely juxtaposition of colors to the distinctive lines, and one unlike any chuppah we’ve seen before.


Jordana and Uri‘s enchanted garden chuppah is truly like no other we’ve seen (and we love that the couple were seated underneath it during dinner afterward – such a smart way to make the most of this special structure).


Looking for an understatedly elegant floral chuppah? Julie and Guillerme‘s choice could be right for you!


You know we love a good floral chuppah, and Michele and Scott went all out, packing every possible inch of theirs with glorious florals, from the poles to the edges to the gorgeous curtain of orchids hanging down the back.


We’re also obsessed with Claire and James’s very cool chuppah – made out of copper pipes and decorated with a mix of red and purple flowers and hanging bulbs.


Something totally new to us: a feather chuppah! Jay and Tom wanted something their guests hadn’t seen before, and we’re pretty sure they succeeded. The wild feathered top paired with the clean translucent columns make for such a striking look. What a chic look!


Two words: Wisteria. Chuppah. Katie and Josh’s botanical canopy is truly breathtaking – between the abundant greenery, hanging wisteria, and bunches of red berries, they created the perfect autumnal fantasia. The bride reports that she felt like she was in a botanical garden standing under the chuppah, and we can totally see why!


Looking for a modern but chic chuppah? Emma and Joseph went for a wooden frame dressed with an asymmetrical floral design – we can’t love it more!


Andrea and Seymone‘s subtly dramatic chuppah is to die for. We love the nude sheer fabric against the deep red floral accents and greens.


Red, yellow, orange… an explosion of colours for Shaina and Shahab‘s truly breathtaking floral chuppah!

Just when we think we’ve seen every amazing chuppah idea out there, a new Jewish wedding comes along and knocks us off our feet. A DRIFTWOOD CHUPPAH! Thank you, Elsa and Stephane!


Um, WOW. Excuse us as we pick our jaws up off the floor. We are just floored by the magnificent mirrored (!) peony. It is just BEYOND, and those hanging peonies suspended from the canopy? Serious, serious #chuppahgoals from Marina and Gary‘s wedding.


 

Lisa and Alexander‘s guests were escorted down an outdoor romantically lit pathway filled with large gorgeous trees, twinkle lights, and waterfalls until they came to the magically adorned garden where our chuppah took place. We’re a living THE dream!


A super cool mirrored silver chuppah for Jade and Andy — cleverly set up to reflect the gorgeous grove of olive trees in the sunken garden surrounding the ceremony space!


Who doesn’t love rose gold? Now it’s everywhere, even in Jennifer and Charlie‘s simple and stylish chuppah. We can’t love it more!

Okay, HOW gorgeous is Hannah and Josh’s willow branch chuppah? Covered in the most exquisite, airy little blooms of baby’s breath and delphinium, it’s just so adorable we. can’t. even.


There are no words for how obsessed we are with epic orchid chuppah. With lucite columns draped in strands of gorgeous flowers, it’s just SO dreamy!
As seen in Vlada and Joshua‘s wedding.


If you think that a wild natural design chuppah would look out of place in the uber-traditional synagogue setting… well, have a look at Chloe and Adam‘s chuppah! A little thicket of trees just happened to sprout up in the middle of the synagogue… and it’s a perfect fit!


Dreamy chuppah alert! We’re totally obsessed with Sharona and Eyal’s fantastic chuppah, draped in hanging white flowers atop translucent columns. And we’re not not obsessed with the fact that it all went down outside, overlooking the ocean, during a picture-perfect sunset. PERFECTION!


We love the botanical design of Kim and Jonathan‘s chuppah. So stylish, so cool!


Just two words: Wisteria. Chuppah. Just look at it! Have you ever seen anything more lovely than those simple strands of purple and white perfection swinging gently in the breeze? We’re pretty sure you haven’t. From Sophie and Andrew‘s wedding.
