Today’s Jewish wedding is one for the books – and it just happens to have one of the coolest chuppahs we’ve seen, ever! London-based couple Sophie, a lawyer, and Jonny, who’s in real estate investment, made things official at Nobu Hotel Portman Square, and the mix of contemporary chic with traditional elegance made for the perfect backdrop for this very special day.

We are OBSESSED with the couple’s fairy light chuppah, which created the most magical atmosphere. This is such a fabulous inspiration if you’re after something a little different for your chuppah – and how good would it be for a winter wedding?!

The couple found the perfect photographer Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Liam Collard Photography. They loved Liam and Stam’s relaxed, down to earth approach, not to mention their exquisite documentary style photography – and needless to say, they could not be more thrilled with the results!

We’ll leave it to Sophie – who looked radiant in her bespoke gown from Suzanne Neville – to fill you in on the rest…

Who could use some extra Jewish joy right about now? We certainly could – and that’s why we’re bringing you the beautiful London Jewish wedding of Ella and Josh. The bride and groom, both business owners, brought SO much love and emotion to their big day, and we hope you’ll feel as inspired as we do by their ultra-moving photos by Robert Shack and video by Andrei Weddings.

The Biltmore in London was the perfect setting for Ella and Josh’s timeless and traditional Jewish wedding, and their classic décor, filled with white florals and abundant greenery, complemented the space so exquisitely – as did Ella’s gorgeous modern gown by Caroline Castigliano.

Music is such a big part of the atmosphere at a Jewish wedding, and Ella and Josh couldn’t be more thrilled with their choice of Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Matzoh Boys. In Ella’s words, “They were fantastic! The atmosphere was just the best – they really brought the London and Manchester crowd together. We loved their Israeli music sets especially and the chuppah was beautiful.”

Read on for all the details of this very special day in the bride’s own words…
