Tslil & Maor | Super cool fancy dress Jewish wedding at Bikta Bayar, Carmel Forest, Israel

28/05/2014 by Karen

Fancy-Dress-Wedding
This morning  lovelies we’re jetting off to the land of milk and honey  for Tslil and Maor’s riotous  Purim inspired fancy dress affair. For those that don’t know,  Purim is a jolly  carnival-like Jewish holiday marked by parades and costume parties involving  everyone  dressing up to the max in masks and fancy dress outfits.

So any wedding that happens around Purim soaks up some of this  merriment, and obviously that means extra drinking, extra fun, and of course, lots of dressing up!  With Tslil and Maor’s  entertaining fancy dress theme and a great wedding  mindset (read their advice to others at the bottom of the piece to see what I mean) they  created an effortlessly cool wedding with a very warm  vibe. Yes, the two CAN go together.

You also need to know that  Tslil wore  not one but TWO sensational  dresses! What’s more she designed them both herself!  How immense is that?

Check out this joyous  day for yourselves that was captured in all its glory  by  Barak Aharon.  And if you love couple shots in the wilds of nature then you are in for a treat!

VENUE
We got married in Bikta B’Yaar in a place called Beit Oren near Haifa. We wanted a location surrounded by nature, but because the wedding was scheduled for winter we had to go with the inside option. Even though winter in Israel is known to have its warm days, we didn’t want to take a chance and planned an indoor event right from the beginning.

Stacey & Jono | NYE Fancy Dress Jewish Wedding in a Cinema, West Sussex, UK

31/01/2014 by Karen

fancy-dress-cinema-wedding
There are no words. Truly — there are no words worthy enough to even  begin  to describe this fantastically creative W-day photographed by the always amazing  Martin Beddall. To start with this Jewish wedding is held in an old arthouse cinema (the oldest operating one in the UK) and all the guests are decked out in fancy dress which makes for such an inclusive atmosphere is genuinely special.

The couple organised everything themselves from the other side of the world (New Zealand!) and their attention to detail is astonishing. Jono, the groom, designed the delightful invitations himself, and both he and Stacey created the most beautiful short film that was played during their ceremony, full of images of their past, literally from birth through to the present day. You can watch their very special film lower down the page. Warning: you might tear up!

So without further ado, let’s dive into Martin Beddall’s exquisite photographs, and read all the juicy details in the words of Stacey and Jono themselves.

ORGANISING A NEW YEAR’S EVE WEDDING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
Stacey and Jono:  We met and fell in love on New Year’s Eve 2007 so that has been such a special time for us. There’s also no better excuse for a party than New Year’s Eve so we decided to throw our big day five years later to the day! We now live in New Zealand but wanted to celebrate the big day in style with our oldest and dearest in the UK.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
