An Oscar De La Renta Bride for a City Chic Jewish Wedding at Ziegfeld Ballroom, NYC, New York, USA

26/04/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

Ali and Andrew’s Jewish wedding was just SO gloriously NYC, and we are here for it! They opted to make it official at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom, and took advantage of the prime Midtown location for some incredible couple’s shoots on the streets of NYC and in Central Park. Don’t miss the gorgeous images by Sarah Merians Photography!

We’re also obsessed with Ali and Andrew’s exquisite Art Deco-inspired chuppah, featuring florals in blue, purple, pink, and white – and we love that the pair opted to have their chuppah in the round so everyone could feel like part of the ceremony.

Now over to Ali, who looked so glam in her Oscar De La Renta gown…

An Alexandra Grecco Bride for a Summer Jewish Wedding at Solé East Backyard, Montauk, New York, USA

22/04/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

Dreaming of summer? Us too – and that’s why we can’t get enough of the fabulous Jewish wedding of Alex, who works in education, and Mike, in finance. The New York couple loves spending their summer weekends in Montauk, and they wanted to bring those relaxed, intimate vibes to their big day.

With an outdoor chuppah at Solé East Backyard followed by an afterparty at Roberta’s Pizza, they positively nailed it – thanks in no small part to their wonderful wedding planner, Andrea Adelstein from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor NYLux Events.

In Alex’s words,

Andrea has an incredible attention to detail and extremely high standards – both of which were key when working with so many different vendors. NYLux handled everything! The coordination of vendors and day of execution is extremely challenging and it was nice to know that I was in such good hands throughout the entire process. Andrea really understood what my vision was and worked incredibly hard to make sure it came to life.

To complete the summer theme, Alex and Mike used Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor ketubah.com to create their custom ketubah, with a natural wood and white color scheme and surrounded by shells from Ditch Plains beach in Montauk.

Karlie Louise Photography captured the whole day so beautifully – do scroll on to see the day in all its glory!

How We Met

Alex, the bride: We met the old fashioned way – at a bar! We were both 22 and living in the East Village. We ended up at the same bar on a Saturday night and had friends who knew each other. Our groups merged and we ended up talking in a corner for hours.Continue Reading

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!

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

08/04/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

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…
